連江縣北竿鄉馬鼻灣

馬祖北竿因地緣政治的關係，在冷戰時期成為重要的軍事基地。陸地和海域之間的消長，在這以海岸線為界的占領，是自然與人為不斷的拉鋸抗衡。當人為開始介入，興建軍用機場跑道，又剷除鐵拳山並進行填海增建跑道，再因海岸沉積作用逐漸形成，北竿舊軍用機場延伸的馬鼻灣是一個「人為」影響而「自然」形成的澳口。

而與人為抗衡的是自然，一切都看似人定勝天，殊不知自然也正以無法明顯感知的速度，找回自然反佔領的場域。「佔領」其實是生態演替和權力抗衡的移轉過程，人類不斷渴望掌控資源和土地，但終將回歸自然。

當淡菜收成後，廢棄的淡菜殼在退潮時大量堆積在馬祖的沿海岸。藉由建構一個淡菜養殖到廢棄殼再利用的流程，從養殖、回收淡菜殼、清洗曝曬、高溫鍛燒、磨碎篩選，成為建築材料運用到構造中，隨著時間受到破壞，再由自然分解成有機物回歸自然。透過建築材料的強度差異，形成在不同時間軸上侵蝕瓦解的狀態，以建立人造建物移轉自然生態的系統。

Beigan Mabiwan

Due to geopolitical reasons, Beigan in Matsu became an important military base during the Cold War. The ebb and flow between land and sea, with the coastline as the boundary, represents a continuous tug-of-war between natural and human forces. When human intervention began, a military airport runway was constructed, the mountain was leveled, and land reclamation was carried out to extend the runway. Through coastal sedimentation, Mabiwan, extending from the old military airport in Beigan, became a bay formed by “natural” processes influenced by “human” activities.

In opposition to human actions is nature. While it might seem that humans can conquer nature, nature is actually reclaiming its territory at an imperceptible pace. “Occupation” is essentially a process of ecological succession and power struggle. Humanity constantly seeks to control resources and land, but ultimately, everything returns to nature.

After the harvest of mussels, the discarded mussel shells accumulate along the coast of Matsu at low tide. By constructing a process from mussel farming to the reuse of discarded shells, involving collection, cleaning, sun-drying, high-temperature calcination, crushing, and sieving, the shells are turned into building materials. These materials, once incorporated into structures, will eventually degrade over time and decompose back into organic matter, returning to nature. Through the differing strengths of these building materials, a state of erosion and disintegration occurs over different time scales, establishing a system where man-made structures transition into natural ecosystems.
