演講摘要Abstract

The World Green Building Council estimates that the built environment alone is responsible for about 40% of global carbon emissions from energy consumption. Part of this is due to the inevitable effects of technological progress and increasing demand for human comfort levels, oftentimes at odds with mother nature. How can our buildings and cities be more aligned with earth’s natural forces without sacrificing modern life? How did we do it in the past? And how can architecture and technology work together to improve not just our climate and environment, but also the social and cultural lives of people and communities? The first half of the lecture looks at recent modern history of how we designed buildings before new construction technologies such as the air conditioner. The second half will explore these issues through personal experiences and projects both in Taiwan and abroad.

(世界綠色建築委員會WorldGBC估計，建築環境本身，約佔來自能源消耗的全球碳排放之40%。部份的原因，是由於技術的進步，與人類舒適水準之需求的不斷提升，其所導致無法避免的效應，通常是由於違背了大自然所致。我們的建築物與城市如何能夠與地球的大自然力量更協同一致，而不犧牲現代的生活呢？我們過去是怎麼做的呢？建築與技術如何能夠攜手並進，以改善不只是我們的氣候與環境，也同時改善人類與社區的社會與文化生活呢？前半場50分鐘演講，將介紹近年來，在新的建築技術，如冷氣，尚未問世前，我們是如何設計建築物的現代歷史。後半場50分鐘演講，則將藉由個人經驗與設計專案，包括台灣與國外，以探討這些議題。)

講員簡介 Profile

MIIM Office for Architecture is an award-winning architecture practice dedicated to creating positive change through design. Our work is driven by critical research on function, sustainable materials, the environment, and inter-disciplinary collaboration. Building on the founder Min Ter Lim’s breadth and depth of experience as project leader for numerous projects around the world, the team develops innovative spaces that tell stories of their occupants, are informed by site and context, and have broad and meaningful impact on society. The result is a perfect balance between form and function.      

MIIM is led by Min Ter Lim, previously a project leader architect at Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) in Denmark, where he was responsible for several key projects throughout the world. He received his Master of Architecture from Harvard University Graduate School of Design, where he also was a studio instructor, design critic, and teaching assistant. He graduated with Honors from Wesleyan University and received his Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Studio Arts. His design and research interests explore artistic forms that are inflected by terrestrial processes, and their application as architectural strategies.

Min has also worked for Machado & Silvetti in Boston, Studio Zhu Pei in Beijing, and Kyu Sung Woo Architects in Cambridge. He was an adjunct instructor at National Cheng Kung University and Tamkang University and taught several studios that investigated new paradigms in design that integrated architecture, urbanism, and landscape ecologies to create cities of the future.

(MIIM建築設計事務所，為獲獎的建築設計事務所，致力於經由設計以創造正向的改變。我們的工作驅動力，是來自於對功能、永續材料、環境、與跨領域合作的批判性研究。藉重於建築設計事務所創辦人林敏特先生，以專案計畫主持人，從事許多全球性計畫的經驗深度與廣度，建築設計工作室的工作團隊，開發了述說著居民故事的創新空間；瞭解了所在地及其背景環境；與對社會有廣泛及意義深長的衝擊。其結果為，形式與功能間的完美平衡。

MIIM建築設計工作室，由林敏特先生所領導。他曾服務於丹麥的 Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG)集團設計公司，並負責幾個全球性的重要專案計畫。他獲得美國哈佛大學設計研究院的建築設計碩士學位，其間，並擔任工作室講師、設計評審、與教學助理。在此之前，他以優異成績，取得美國康乃狄克州Wesleyan大學的藝術學士，主修經濟與工作室藝術。他的設計與研究興趣，為探討受地表程序影響的藝術形式，及利用它做為建築策略的應用。

林敏特先生也曾服務位於美國麻薩諸塞州波士頓的Machado & Silvetti建築與城市設計公司，位於中國北京的Zhu Pei工作室，及位於美國麻薩諸塞州劍橋的Kyu  Sung Woo 建築事務所。他曾為國內成功大學與淡江大學的兼任講師，並於數個以研討設計的新範例之工作室授課，期能整合建築、城市、與地景生態，以創造出未來的城市。)
