東山好棲地-仿生裝置工作坊

東山好棲地-蝴蝶－是一個為新竹縣關西鎮東山社區工作坊所設計的手作蝴蝶造型裝置教材，目的是希望讓年長的社區居民共同完成裝置單元後、經由擺設拍攝的過程去重新感受習以為常的居住地，重新體驗並感受四寮溪豐富的生態環境。

造型啟發自棲息中的蝴蝶，拍照的過程將蝴蝶隨處找地方放置，象徵蝴蝶在當地棲息的意象，只要環就夠好、蝴蝶種類就多，如同每個人所創作的蝴蝶一樣多元的呈現於社區自然環境中。

新竹關西東山社區長期致力於推廣社區環境生態教育，境內四寮溪良好的水質造就各種蝴蝶與蜻蜓等昆蟲棲息，光是蝴蝶種類就多達5 科 91 屬 152 種。社區發展協會曾透過生態攝影比賽並邀請相關學者建立物生態物種的田野調查，可以說是一個以自然生態教室為特色的社區。透過這堂課程，我們可以建立居民與環境生態之間的情感連結，同時也鼓勵長輩透過這個裝置，有機會向年輕的的世代與家人述說過去致力於保護環境的故事。

課程為期三天，包含著色練習、組裝練習以及攝影與健行。著色練習是透過簡單的道具練習在蝴蝶指模型上著色、學習用簡單的方式創造多樣的紋路。組裝練習目的是透過組裝鎖緊螺絲的過程訓練手指關節靈活，而攝影與健行等活動則是希望鼓勵長者沿著四寮溪尋找喜歡的場景幫自己的蝴蝶拍照，除了創造與家人間分享成果的話題外也促進身體的健康。

Dongshan habitat-Butterfly- bionic installation workshop

Dongshan Habitat-Butterfly is an educational program designed for elderly residents of the Hsinchu Dongshan community. The primary goal is to enable the elderly residents to reconnect with the rich ecological environment of their community by encouraging them to assemble and paint a butterfly model and take a photo of it in the natural surroundings along the Si-Liao stream.

The shape of the model is inspired by the posture of a butterfly, which indicates its natural habitat. Dongshan is a community in Hsinchu known as The Village of Longevity due to its well-preserved environment. Over the past few decades, the community committee has made significant efforts to protect the ecological environment, especially the butterfly habitats along the Si-Liao stream trail. The aim of this program is to establish an emotional bond between the elderly residents and their ecological surroundings and encourage them to share their stories with their younger generations. Assembling and painting the model provides a sense of fulfillment, and participants are encouraged to find a suitable location along the trail to share their creations with others. Moreover, the program provides the opportunity for the elderly residents to revisit and observe the rich ecological environment that they have long been familiar with.

The three-day workshop comprises of three components: 1. Painting practice, 2. Assembling training, and 3. Photo-taking and hiking. The painting practice involves using simple tools to paint the paper model and learning how to control the pigment to create a variety of wing patterns. The assembling training promotes flexibility of fingers and hand-eye coordination through assembling the screw parts and plastic model, providing a sense of fulfillment upon completion. The photo-taking and hiking component encourages participants to find a suitable location to take a photo of their model, share the results with others, and improve their health and wellbeing through the process.
