人性建築學：建築與環境的協調者

The Architecture of Humanity: Mediating Between the Built and the Natural

Q.  從 PPAA 多年來創作的作品中，我們觀察到團隊圍繞著對「自然的尊重與理解」為核心前提，仍不停創新，請與我們分享，團隊如何在維護既有環境的條件下，打造創新而具人性化設計的建築、室內空間？

Q. Your work consistently demonstrates a deep respect for nature while embracing innovation. How does the studio create architecture and interiors that feel both human and forward-thinking, while maintaining the integrity of existing environmental conditions?

A.  我們將建築視為開放性的媒介，包容著周圍、不斷與環境對話。當團隊在執行設計創作時，會從「留白、構想、時間」三個基本概念出發。「留白」能激發建築空間未被探索或意料之外所經驗的可能性，這和已建構的空間一樣重要 ; 而「構想」是塑造專案計劃設計俐落而純粹的意圖，必須是個強而有力的方案 ;「時間」則是考驗及複查團隊對這些構想理念的要素。因為我們知道，建築並非一成不變，反而會隨著居住方式和環境條件的改變從而產生演化。

A. We understand architecture as an open dialogue with its environment. Our projects begin with three foundational ideas: void, idea, and time. “Void” refers to the generative potential of architecture—to create space for the unexpected, the unexplored. It is just as important as the built. The “Idea” is the intentional, clear response to a site—a proposal that is strong, concise, and precise. “Time” is the element that tests the resilience and relevance of a project. We know architecture is not static; it evolves through the way it is lived in, through shifts in climate, culture, and community.

為了確保每項計劃能透過建築手法創造與環境連結的感官體驗，團隊也力求將每個空間都能具有溫度、人性化、提升人們生活品質的存在，同時在構思和執行層面上保持創新性。正如我們之前的專案 「Copas 」（英譯 Treetops 即「樹梢」）為例，團隊深入探究室內與戶外的關係，在尊重既有景觀的條件下，避免砍伐樹木，特意將量體錯層、順應地貌而建，使建築與自然融為一體，不僅帶來遼闊視野也增強居者「生活於樹梢之間」的沉浸體驗。

We aim to design spaces that offer sensorial connection to place, and that enhance the human experience with warmth and integrity. Innovation, for us, lies in rethinking the relationship between interior and exterior, between user and material. In our Copas project—Treetops, in English—we avoided removing existing trees or altering the site’s natural topography. Instead, we created a tiered layout that allows the structure to float above the forest floor. The result is a home that invites its inhabitants to dwell among the trees—a fully immersive, elevated experience of landscape and shelter.
