坐落大武山山腳的屏東縣泰武國小，校園飽含豐富的排灣文化，無論是訴說著古老排灣族起源故事的馬賽克圖騰、或是邀請部落長老來協力完成的石板屋、充滿象徵意義的彩繪壁畫等，強烈的體現校園擁抱民族文化的熱情。
Located at the foot of Taimu Mountain, Pingtung County, the Taiwu Elementary School is brimful of vibrant Paiwan culture. The school’s immense enthusiasm for indigenous culture finds vivid expression in the mosaic totem recounting the ancient story of the Paiwan’s origin, the slate house completed with the help of tribal elders, and the highly symbolic colored murals.
本次改造的標的為校園中的木工教室，在過去因為缺少了系統性的規劃、收納空間不足，導致作品、材料只能堆放於桌面與地上，大量的物品佔據了教室空間，也淹沒了創作被展示出來的可能。
The subject of this renovation is the woodworking classroom on campus. Previously, owing to the lack of systematic planning and the insufficient storage space, students’ works and materials had nowhere to go but being stacked on the table and the floor. The objects of large bulk not only occupied the classroom space, but also eliminated the possibility of displaying the works.
「將桌面上刻鑿的過程投射成像，以覆滿想像的畫面反轉映照在天花」是這次改造的策略。
The renovation strategy is designed to “project the images of carving at the table and reflect the imagination-laden scenes on the ceiling.”
我們重新將教室的焦點回歸到孩子們的創作及活動上：上抬的收納機能保留了下方最大的空白活動空間，透過翻轉作品呈現方式成為空間語彙，膠捲般的影格收錄著這些美好作品及排灣族的珍貴故事，並與進行中的創作相映成輝。
We redirect the focus of the classroom back onto the children and their creative activities. The elevated storage area maximizes the availability of room for the activities below. Turning the fashion of display into spatial vocabulary, we highlight these ingenious works and cherished Paiwan stories in the film-like grids, which makes the finished works and ongoing ones shine more brilliantly in each other’s company.
系統性的整合使用機能，搭配訂製的實木木桌及工具推車，用以收納學童未完成之作品及雕刻用具，並保留移動彈性；折窗的更換打開新的視覺軸線，與對側石板屋產生連結，與校園、師生間產生互動與對話；重新配置的空間照明及循環電扇，改善空氣對流及視覺整體性。
The systematically integrated functions and the customized solid wood tables and tool trolleys work in tandem. The trolleys offer storage capacity for students’ unfinished works and carving tools apart from retaining mobility. Besides, the use of folding window opens up a new visual axis, hence connections with the slate house on the opposite side as well as interaction and dialogue with the campus, teachers and students. Furthermore, the reconfigured interior lighting and circulating fans improve the ventilation and visual integrity.
我們期許新的木工教室能更貼近使用者的需求，陪伴泰武的師長、學童持續以雙手雕刻，將獨特、美麗的文化綿延傳承。
We expect this renovated woodworking classroom to satisfy the users’ needs in a more effective way, insofar as to enable the teachers and students at the Taiwu Elementary School to continue carving with their hands whereby they can perpetuate their sui generis and mesmerizing culture.
