台灣因為傳統習俗的關係,以燒金紙的方式祭祀祖先,但卻使台灣的空氣污染日益嚴重,

廟宇的金爐變成都市的負空間,使年輕人不願意參與相傳已久的傳統活動。
透過金爐的改造,廢氣淨化並使燃燒金紙的能源轉換成可使用的電能與熱能,

與媽祖繞境的活動結合,使能源轉換的過程與傳統活動的形象連結,

創造一個廟宇金爐改造的示範點。

Burning ghost money  is a tradition to sacrifice,but it  causes lots of pollution

leading to danger to humanand environment.Ghost  money burner becomes

a negative space in urban which is not welcome to the youth.

Transforming the thermal power to electricity, to cleaning the air and

connect the activities of Guandu Temple.Create a example of rebirth of ghost money burner.
