Materials remember what architecture tries to forget.
在這些作品裡，材料不是被覆蓋，而是被閱讀。石材的裂紋、灰泥的層次、木構的勞動痕跡構成了一種持續書寫的語言。Material as Narrative 關注那些讓建築保持可讀性的空間——時間沒有被抹除，而是被允許停留。這些建築不是追求完美的物件，而是承載生活、修補與記憶的結構，提醒我們空間真正的價值來自其被使用、被觸摸、被歲月雕刻的過程。

Materials are never neutral.
In these projects, concrete carries memory, bamboo becomes structure, wood reveals labour, and reuse turns necessity into language. Material as Narrative looks beyond surface aesthetics to trace how buildings are shaped by what they are made of — and why.
From low-cost ingenuity to crafted precision, these works treat material not as finish, but as a storyteller. Construction becomes a form of authorship, articulating place, economy, climate and culture through what is built, left exposed, or deliberately reused.
Here, material is not decoration.
It is evidence.
It is intention.
It is narrative.
