Owing to the rapid social changes and huge advances in science and technology, people''s thinking has gradually evolved and our dependence on machines has been continuously deepened, resulting in absence of personal experience in life. In other words, the body has forgotten the perception of scenes and scenes have become the same to us. From the defensive landscape hidden in the land of Baimiwong Fortificationt in Keelung, this study attempts to open the dialogue with the land through interventions by architecture, sculpture and landscape''s intrinsic characteristics, as well as exploration of the relationship between the body''s movement, senses and emotions. In this way, the nature and space of the genius loci are highlighted.
In order to achieve these purposes mentioned above, we present a literature review of studies related to body, sense, place, architecture and sculpture to find a possibility of their coexistence. Then, the method for design of dialogues between architecture, sculpture and landscape is clarified based on relevant cases, including the relationships between land and time, sense and material. Finally, the design of defensive landscape is investigated and executed with Baimiwong Fortificationt in Keelung as an example, including exploration of the relationships between the entire defensive landscape and body, environment, climate (e.g., fog) and materials (e.g., fog net), in an attempt to develop a design method that can re-intervene the landscape, reviewing genius loci of the land, bringing back the original landscape relationship, and highlighting its intrinsic texture and traces within land.
This study provides a new dialogue relationship of genius loci. The architecture can be intervened by the action of sculpture. Based on this intervention, a new relationship between the site of Baimiwong Fortificationt, body and land is created. Additionally, this study reveals several future themes, including scaling up and down, the poetic co-construction of materials and structures, and a new way of deep and slight space intervention, and re-considering the possibility of recovering the landscape.
