2014年高雄瓦斯氣爆炸,於前鎮及苓雅區發生共12處爆炸,道路瞬間的陷落讓用路人措手不及,這一起氣爆事故造成高雄市區交通癱瘓及受損道路的沿街面損毀,整起事件對於高雄人是一個難以忘懷的心靈創傷。 而在氣爆中受挫的城市及居民,運用設計手法導入各種藝術治療來修復因氣爆事件造成的心靈創傷,置入溫和且更能與內心對話的各種藝術型態,透過互動式藝術的方式去連結人之間的關係;藉由觸摸的方式來體認藝術,凸顯高雄因美學意識抬頭而興建、整修多處的藝術中心與本設計的差異性。 透過本設計的整體規劃,引導民眾了解事發經過及災後修復過程,透過藝術植入的方式帶動生活美學,並且將氣爆受災戶納入紀念儀式中,透過屋頂空間改造計畫,讓身為國際轉運站的高雄,帶給準備起降旅客的城市印象,不再是如同補丁般的斑斕鐵皮,而是受創復原後的一片盎然生機。 最後因事件產生的負面情緒,與中石化前鎮廠區的既有印象做扭轉改觀的動作,進而昇華成集體意識的加固與土地的連結,並將紀念藝術場域—「反思」精神逐漸擴大、深植於這塊土地上。
On 2014, a series of gas explosions occurred in the Cianjhen and Lingya districts of Kaohsiung, Taiwan with overall 12 explosions. The blasts ripped up roads which injured the pedestrians. This accident destroyed the traffic and transportation system of Kaohsiung area, leaving unforgettable scars to the victims. While the people are suffered from the aftermath, it is necessary to implement a variety of design techniques to cope with the trauma; throughout gentle and warm dialogue of art therapy, or moving arts to connect the people together. Recognizing art by feeling the art itself can raise awareness to Kaohsiung’s aesthetic and construction element; therefore, also refurbish some art centres and difference between designs. From overall design planning in particular, this thesis can be used as guidance for the people to understand the post-disaster restoration process; also throughout arts and aesthetics as a way to commemorate the explosion. In addition, transforming the planning to the rooftop space may change the impression of Kaohsiung city based on its International station, not only as a patch-like metal layer, but later can be restored, overflown with life. Lastly, due to the negative impact caused by this accident, within CPCC (China National Petroleum Corporation) in Cianjhen district’s influence, will further strengthen the link between districts. Furthermore, it may increase the spirit of “Reflection”, which in the future will gradually expanded and planted deep throughout generations.
