「甘甘起大廟」作品設計定位為一套具「文化轉譯」與「體驗式學習」價值的食玩系統，旨在透過現代設計手法，將莊嚴的台灣宗教建築美學帶入大眾日常。計畫核心在於將複雜的建築結構解構為直觀的模組化零件，精選如屋頂優美的燕尾脊、門前基座的石獅、以及象徵守護的龍柱等豐富文化印象，轉化為可組裝的餅乾組件。選用「麥芽糖」作為傳統黏合媒介，不僅在口感上呼應台式風味，更在精神層面模擬了傳統建築中的「糯米灰漿」工藝，讓使用者在親手搭建這座「微型可食用廟宇」的遊戲過程中，能透過觸覺與視覺的雙重參與，直觀地理解建築骨架、裝飾符號及其背後的文化意涵。透過零件的堆疊、麥芽糖的塗抹，到最後成品被品嚐與分享，玩家在遊戲化的情境中自然達成對文化記憶的吸收與內化。期望藉由這套食玩系統，打破傳統文化推廣的單向說教，拉近跨世代間對信仰建築的認知落差，創造出一種兼具娛樂趣味、美學教育與情感連結的新生體驗，讓台灣特有的廟宇文化在舌尖與指尖的律動中，得以獲得全新的生命力。
"Kam-Kam Khi Tua Bio" is an innovative DIY candy kit that serves as a "cultural translation" system, reimagining Taiwanese temple aesthetics for modern life. The project deconstructs solemn architectural elements—such as swallowtail roofs, stone lions, and dragon pillars—into modular biscuit components.
By utilizing traditional maltose syrup as a natural adhesive, the kit simulates the "glutinous rice mortar" technique used in ancient masonry. This allows users to intuitively grasp complex architectural frameworks through the tactile, hands-on process of building a miniature edible temple. From stacking parts to the final experience of tasting, the kit transforms heritage into a gamified, sensory journey. This approach bridges the generational gap in cultural knowledge, ensuring that Taiwan’s unique temple traditions gain new life at the intersection of the fingertips and the tongue.
