英文名称：Inca Totora Cube Cultural craftsmith

位置：其他 印加

该项目位于厄尔瓜多，是对当地传统印加文化工艺的介绍。该项目中的“Totora Cube” 是一个试验性的装置，此次设计的主要目的是促进当地传统工艺文化的传承和传播，增强当地人们对传统文花的认同感和自豪感。该装置的灵活性强，可以根据实际情况被改造成不同的结构。有的时候，它就是一个立方匣子一样的装置，有的时候它像一个小凉亭，在这里可以看到周边的马路和风景。

该装置有一个很大的特点便是它的建设材料，主要是通过木质纤维编制而成的，在当地被称为“totora”。装置里面的设计也包含了多重含义，这种当地传统工艺早在印加时期便存在了。立方体的模块高约3米，每个外立面有九个不同的面板，形成了编织网格，不同的纤维织物所呈现的颜色也不相同。这里是一个简单的形态学理论，主要强调的是它的建造材料，在此基础上编织工艺才慢慢得到发展。

The “Totora Cube” is an experimental structure and although it has a specific function —to promote the handicrafts created in the local community and to raise awareness of their culture— also has a degree of flexibility that allows different programs.It is clearly a definable object: the view we have of it from the adjacent road, and its morphology and materiality.

A fundamental part of this project revolves around the material investigation of the vegetable fiber known as “totora” from the design and building of a structure. Inside the multiple implications needed to concrete the project, it was essential the understanding for the art and craft with which these fibers have been worked since pre-Inca times.It was created an experimental cubical module of 3 meters long, with nine panels on each side, forming what it can be seen as an experiential catalogue of the different fabrics worked by the artisans. It was used a simple pure morphology, resignified from the material aspect, where they explored certain technical, structural and expressive qualities.
