2025 臺南國際建築三年展 Re-turning「Home」 Tainan International Architecture Triennial：還。原點 Re-turning「Home」

展覽緣起

自2008年首屆「見築展」起，臺南市建築師公會便致力於以展覽與論壇形式，串聯不同世代的建築師，描繪建築與生活的關係。歷屆三年展不斷深化主題，從空間敘事到都市記憶，逐步拓展至國際對話。2024年，我們攜手日本仙台，展開臺日建築交流，為2025三年展奠定更宏觀的策展視野。此次再度回到臺南市美術館，展開一場思維與感官的建築旅程。

策展主軸：重返建築的起點

「Re-turning『Home』」不僅是返回，更是重新審視——透過對「家」、「原點」、「初心」的再詮釋。借用鍵盤上的「Home鍵」作為隱喻，強調人如何在空間與時間中尋找歸屬與定位。對建築而言，「原點」是放樣與定位的起始，也是設計初衷與價值的起點。

展覽架構：四個場域的「還原點」

本展透過四個交錯對話的展間，引領觀眾踏上回原點的旅程：
• Gallery A｜還。家─入厝辦桌：以「家」為出發點，透過建築語言回應情感與居所的歸屬感。
• Gallery B｜還。創─建築家–傢–揪：揭示設計過程中建築師如何回望與修正初衷。
• Gallery C｜還。鄉─返鄉起厝：從臺南歷史脈絡中，探索地方與未來的建築連結。
• Gallery D｜還。域─跨界交陪：邀集國際建築對話，共築文化共感的多元原點。

每個展間都是一次對建築本質的回望，也是對人與空間關係的深層探問——從個人到城市、從地方到全球，思考建築如何持續為我們定義「回家/初心的路」。

Exhibition Origin

Since the first exhibition “Archimeeting U” in 2008, the Tainan City Architects Association has been dedicated to connecting architects across generations through exhibitions and forums, exploring the relationship between architecture and everyday life. Over the years, each edition of the triennial has deepened its thematic focus—ranging from spatial narratives to urban memory—gradually expanding into international dialogues. In 2024, we partnered with Sendai, Japan, to initiate Taiwan-Japan architectural exchanges, laying the groundwork for a broader curatorial vision for 2025 Triennial. Returning once again to Tainan Art Museum, this exhibition embarks on a journey of architectural thought and sensory experience.

Curatorial Theme: Re-turning to the Origin of Architecture

“Re-turning ‘Home’” is not merely about returning—it is a reexamination, a reinterpretation of “home”, “origin” and “intention”. Borrowing the metaphor of the “Home” key on a keyboard, the theme emphasizes how people seek belonging and orientation within space and time. For architecture, the “origin” is the starting point for layout and positioning, as well as the foundation of design intention and core values.

Exhibition Structure: Four Points of “Return”

This exhibition unfolds through four interwoven gallery spaces, guiding visitors on a journey back to architecture’s origin:

• Gallery A | Re-turning 「Home」:

Starting with the notion of “home”, this section explores how architectural language responds to emotional connections and the sense of belonging within a dwelling.

• Gallery B | Re-turning 「Originality 」:

Reveals how architects revisit and refine their original intentions throughout the design process.

• Gallery C | Re-turning 「Hometown」:

Investigates architectural connections between place and future through the historical context of Tainan.

• Gallery D | Re-turning 「Domain 」 :

Invites international architectural dialogues to co-create diverse points of cultural resonance.

Each gallery is a reflection on the essence of architecture and a deeper inquiry into the relationship between people and space—from the personal to the urban, from the local to the global—rethinking how architecture continues to define our way “home”.
