Ruin Academy
1st floor
The Ruin Academy sends an open call to think on the urban environment
the city, the people and the nature. We want to understand the ruining
processes in Taipei. Ruin is when man-made has become part of nature.
People are ruining the industrial city; this is connected with the local
knowledge. Who are the professors of the Local Knowledge in Taipei?
They should be the bar-tenders of the Ruin Academy.
The Ruin Academy is an independent and free platform where the different
student groups and other players can meet. The Academy is about
knowledge building. It is a simultaneous construction site and a ruin. We
dont know what we will find but the first step is to break the box, ruin the
city. What comes to the academic control, we will give up in order to let
nature step into our ruin. There is no other discipline than nature. There is
our Pub.

THE CONSTRUCTION
The previous version was circled, now modified to an egg shape.
But still the main bamboo construction making a pentagon window
on top. This window is good for the air flow through the whole house.
Here are using 6 to 7 meters long bam boo sticks. For each arch is
used only two pieces of bamboo connected on thicker part together.
The sticks are fixed by iron wire and all these arches are fixed
on every cross. It makes the construction very strong and stable!
FOR FOUNDATION
Bigger bamboo,sort of flag pole holder, with top enforced by iron wire. Every
piece of foundations bamboos is hammered into the ground with a specific
angle.
FOR DRAINAGE
I made a hole on end of every bamboo pipe.
Next step was to make a BAMBOO MATRACE all over. Within space for
door and window. For matrace are used bamboo strips made from bamboo
sticks by special tool.
