從碎片到整體：船舶的拆解與重組
Reforging Fragments: Ship Dismantling & Reassembly

本設計探討拆解大型退役船舶，然後重組廢鋼成為建築架構的方法，並應用此概念設計位於中國大連港口的新遊輪碼頭建築。
廢鋼鐵回收再用十分普遍，但常規廢鋼熔化技術耗能甚大。本設計以舊船為原材料研究廢鋼再用的新興技術，以避免熔鋼涉及的排放量，同時保留並發掘船隻特有的雄偉磅礴的空間特色。設計方法包括兩個切割／焊接系統，分別取決於起重機的載重量和最終建築的結構、空間、照明與循環系統。

This thesis develops a method for dismantling and transporting large decommissioned ships and remodeling them into architecture. It applies this process to developing a cruise terminal in the port of Dalian, China, one of the container ports the government plans to transform to encompass cruise homeport functions.
The thesis suggests an unconventional method of reusing steel: 'recycling without melting'. This preserves the spatial character and motifs of the shipping vessel while avoiding the emissions involved in melting steel. The design methodology involves two cutting/grouping systems: firstly the vessel is dismantled into blocks of manageable weight that can be handled by the tonnage capacity of lifting and transporting machinery; and secondly these blocks are welded into larger building sections, with openings and connections determined by the lighting, spatial quality and circulation needs of the final structure.
