金瓜石「八角亭」自日治時期至1987
年礦業公司結束營運，一直是當地少
見的剃頭店。2001 年，八角亭因納
莉颱風肆虐而不幸坍塌損毀，僅餘基
座，並荒廢多年。金瓜石位於台灣東
北角，受東北季風影響，風強且雨量
多。我們希望在八角亭僅存基座的地
方，利用荒廢空地的陽光，營造出與
這裡雨季氣候形成對比的「秘密花
園」。
The "Octagonal Pavilion" in Jinguashi,
from the Japanese colonial period
until the mining company ceased
operations in 1987, was a rare
barbershop in the area. Unfortunately,
it collapsed and was damaged in
2001 due to Typhoon Nari, leaving
only its foundation, which remained
abandoned for years. Located in
northeastern Taiwan, Jinguashi
is influenced by the northeast
monsoon, resulting in long-lasting
winds and heavy rainfall. We aim to
transform the remaining foundation
of the Octagonal Pavilion into a
"secret garden" that contrasts with
the region’s rainy climate, making
use of the sunlight that reaches this
abandoned space.
