印度尼西亚的Albizzia住宅,是从一个翻新祖母的住宅的计划开始,在拆除的过程中,发现木屋架结构保存完好。原来是采用了一种非同寻常的木材,在被运送到万隆市很久之前这些木材就生长在Ciamis的乡村里。
Started from a plan to renovate the Grandma\’s house, during the demolition the wooden roof truss structure was discovered in a very good condition.? It turned out that the timber was an extraordinary one, in which it had been preserved in the countryside of Ciamis before delivered to the city of Bandung, a long time ago.
本次项目的这种木材的品种叫做Moluccan合欢树,是一种生长迅速且经济的树。但它的潜力很少被最大化,因为它的等级只是在IV-V左右。然而在西爪洼的Ciamis,当地农民长期掌握着一项技术:他们在收获季节将当地的这种木材埋在稻田下面。这种压实技术显著提高了木材的等级,可以让它持续使用30-45年。将木材干化处理不仅仅是让它变得更加坚固,还将大地里的两种物质诗意地结合在一起,它们互相促进形成一个整体。
The tree species are Moluccan Albizzia, widely notable as a fast-growing and economical tree. The potential is rarely maximized because of its low grades that merely stands around IV-V.? However, there has been a long-established technology by local farmers in Ciamis, West Java, in which they bury the local timber beneath the paddy fields after the harvest season. This compaction has increased the wood grade significantly so it can last up to 30-45 years.The timber mummification is more than about filling up the wood pockets to become sturdy, the poetic is embedded in a tale of two earth substances that are mutually reinforcing into a unity.
