一個區域受外力作用開始發展最後成為城市，在城市發展的建築過程中會留下許多的遺跡，透過這些遺跡可以感受到城市的歷史。九份發展的過程累積了非常豐富的遺跡，然而一次次的外力介入同時也造成了原本山海之間的連結被阻斷，現今過度的建築行為也隔開了人和遺跡之間的關聯。人們來到九份所體會到的只剩單一的建築立面，原本豐富、多重的紋理卻被隱藏住了。設計企圖以非單一線性空間序列，藉由立面、基座、歷史建築的遺跡，創造一連串的空間體驗，重新建立人和山海、新舊之間的連結，並成為一股新的力，繼續推動九份漸變。
Generative Timescape at Jiu-Fen: Links in-between Mountain and Sea. Miscellaneous forces generate a city over time. We can sense the history of a city by browsing those architectural vestiges remained in the development process. There are plentiful vestiges in Jiu-Fen, a mountain village which has been repetitively reclaimed by political and economic forces. However, many buildings generated by those forces block the linkage between the mountain and the ocean. Excessive commercial interferences also breaks intimate connections between people and built environments. Nowadays people can only experience symbolic facades and artificial in Jui-Fen. The spatial contexts of varied historical vestiges are hidden. With a non-linear circulation system, the design intends to create a series of spatial experiences by unveiling historical vestiges of facades, topological bases and relic buildings to re-constuct the links between people and history, mountain and sea. Furthermore, the design would be a new driver to generatively make Jiu-Fen to evolve.
