龘行，府城尋龍趣

「龘行」取「踏行」之意，立足於台南古蹟與廟宇文化，聚焦隱藏於建築細節中的「龍生九子」神話系統。這些形象廣泛存在於屋脊、門飾與器物裝飾之中，承載各自的象徵意涵與文化功能，卻隨著時代演變逐漸被忽略，成為可見卻難以理解的文化符號，也使傳統文化與當代生活之間產生距離。

本專題透過設計轉譯，將難以辨識的神話意象轉化為具體且可參與的城市導覽體驗。以台南中西區的五間廟宇為主要場域-台南孔廟、祀典大天后宮、延平郡王祀、祀典武廟、府城隍廟，依據各龍子特性建立對應的探索路徑，並整合導覽手冊、數位應用與集章互動機制，引導使用者於實際空間中進行辨識與探索。透過行走、觀察與互動的過程，使原本靜態的文化符號轉化為具體可感的體驗，進而深化對其象徵意義的理解，並提升參與者對在地文化的感知與記憶。

「龘行」試圖重新建立人與文化之間的連結，縮短世代之間的距離，使傳統神話不再停留於歷史之中，而能融入當代生活，轉化為一種結合文化教育、城市探索與體驗設計的當代實踐，讓文化在行走之中被重新看見與理解。

DREAD: The Hidden Dragons of Tainan

“Dá Xíng” (DREAD), derived from the concept of “treading,” is rooted in Tainan’s historic temples and cultural heritage. The project focuses on the “Nine Sons of the Dragon,” a mythological system embedded in architectural details such as roof ornaments and door decorations. Although rich in meaning, these symbols have gradually become overlooked and difficult for modern audiences to interpret.

Through design translation, DREAD transforms these abstract symbols into an accessible urban experience. Centered in Tainan’s West Central District, the project establishes routes based on each dragon son. A guidebook, digital application, and stamp-collecting system help users identify these figures on-site.

Through movement and interaction, static cultural elements become tangible experiences. DREAD reconnects people with heritage, bridging generational gaps and reintroducing mythology into everyday life.
