Description

第一果菜批發市場座落於萬華與中和交界處。建立於1974年，與座落於松山機場旁的第二果菜批發市場幾乎供應大台北所有的蔬菜與水果。凡餐廳吃到的蔬果以及菜市場所販賣的蔬果大多從此處而來。而每日到貨量約兩千多噸，蔬菜佔全台灣出貨量的16至18％，水果則佔10％左右，但這兩座果菜批發市場決定的價格，則是牽動著全台灣的菜價與水果價錢。第一果菜市場的建築是現今重要的文化資產之一。它採用的「倒傘狀結構」為高凌美建築師與陳其寬設計師所構想。此種倒傘型結構採取反樑作法，將樑作於頂面上，並在室內留下大面的使用空間，不會讓室內有過多的柱子干擾。此外，落於頂樓的雨水會流進柱子內，並流向地下的排水系統。當地人說，此種建築很牢固，經過許多次地震依然屹立不搖，且也無大問題需要修補。可惜的是，隨著2021年果菜市場改建開始推行，倒傘狀結構的建築將在不遠的將來拆除完畢。所以我身為2018年就開始紀錄果菜市場的攝影師，則是希望能以攝影以外的方式，將此處屹立幾十年的光景記錄下來，並在web3.0裡讓它能永續留存下去，為當地，也為台北這片土地留下歷史。 Taipei First Wholesale Fruit and Vegetable Market, established in 1974, located between Wanhua Dist. and Zhonghe Dist, provides majority daily needs of fruit and vegetable in Taipei area alongside with Second Fruit and Vegetable Market. Despite that the market doesn’t hold the largest volume of fruits and vegetables, the prices fixed here alongside with the prices fixed at the Second Market influence the daily fruit and vegetable prices of the entire country. Taipei First Wholesale Fruit and Vegetable Market’s reversed umbrella-shaped structure, constructed by and designed by Gao Ling Mei and Chen Chi Kuan, is considered as one of the most important cultural assets today. In this reversed umbrella-shaped structure, upstand beams are applied to the building’s construction. Given that the beams were set above the slabs, the problem with too many beam-columns getting in the way was prevented; hence, more space was utilized. In addition, rain gutters channel the water from the roof through downpipes into the underground sewer system. The locals indicate that the structure of the building is incredibly firm and solid. It survived multiple earthquakes in the past and needs minimal repair. Unfortunately, as the reconstruction begins, this reversed umbrella-shaped structure will soon be removed. So, as a photographer who has been documenting the market since 2018. I want to preserve this place through other methods besides photography, and hope this place can be perserved in web3.0. And save the history for this place, and for Taipei.
