坐擁自然建築的幸福感/對美、藝術、自然環境純純的愛
對美、藝術的愛
對我來說,自然建築是一種美的形式,是一種有生命的雕塑,在與他互動的神奇感覺如同神話故事般妙不可言,他允許任何一個與他互動的人天馬行空地發揮創造力,可跳脫紙筆的框架,到與創造者生活有密切關係的物體,且還能擁有及使用很長一段時間。
手作自然建築的圓弧流線型及滑順感給人一種舒適、療癒的感受,建築與生活在其中的人們已是彼此不可欠缺的生命體,如肌膚般的牆面吸引人們去觸摸,牆面的顏色也會因時常觸摸而隨時間變化。
大約10年前的一個機緣,我對自然建築一見鍾情,我開始尋覓著相關訊息,也嘗試報名參與自然建築的實做課程,但都不是當時的那份感動,我堅持信念沒有放棄,終於在2016年找到野地森活,4月報名參加台南後壁土椅子灰泥與粉光工作坊,7月報名參加台南新化虎頭埤土暖椅灰泥與粉光工作坊,身心靈在與自然建築的互動中是如此令人忘卻時空,所以我確信這是真愛。
對自然環境的愛
我們的地球正因為人類的毒害而受苦,我殷殷地期盼能以天然且永續的生活型態,提升我們對保護美麗卻脆弱地球的覺醒。自然建築是一種低衝擊且足以負荷的建築方式,建造過程中沒有浪費或製造對環境有害的物質,使用自然物質且施工過程也不產生有毒物質的材料,如此能協助減少垃圾處理場的燃燒量。
此外,他以自然融入的方式觸動人們,包括建造過程,我們用身體四肢與土接觸,與一同參與學習的朋友有情感的流動,我們赤足地在土團上盡情跳舞,雙手搓揉土球,甚至也用土在臉或衣服上畫畫玩樂!在享受自然建築的建造過程後,我們跟自然的距離更親近了。

Why do I want to have natural building?
Simply because of LOVE! Love for Art and Love for Nature/environment
Love for Art
Natural building to me is a form of art, it is a living sculpture that is organic and whimsical. It also has that magical feelings as if in fairy tales. Natural building allows one to express one’s creativities not just limited on paper but could actually turn an idea into something real and in life size that the creator can live with it for a very very long time.
I love the round shapes, curve lines and smooth finishing of the natural building, these all give a comfortable and soothing feeling. The natural building evolves with human whom lives with the natural building, the touches of human being smooths the skin of the building and changes its colours with time.
My connection with Natural building was “Love in First Sight” in about ten years ago. Since then I have been searching information about it and tried to enroll in courses to learn building it, none worked out. I have to believe timing was yet right then until April this year when I found 野地森活and attended the 後壁土椅子灰泥與粉光工作坊workshop. Later in July I also took part in the 台南火箭爐土椅系統 workshop, I love what I experienced and love what I have seen. Finally, it has proven my love for natural building is a true love!
Love for the Environment
Our environment is suffering. It is the human being who is poisoning the environment. I wish to raise awareness for the protection our beautiful but fragile environment with the alternative of a natural and sustainable living style.
Natural building is a low impact and sustainable building method. It does not create more waste or harmful substance to the environment. It uses either natural materials or toxic-free found objects for the construction, helping to reduce the burden of landfills.
Moreover, it connects human being with nature. By involving in the construction process, we are actively having interactions with nature and feeling nature with our whole body. We dance on the cob mixture with our bare feet, roll the cob balls in our hands or even face painting with the cob mixture!! Nature is no longer a stranger to us after getting involved in the natural building process.
