馬祖戰地遺產的內涵包含可見的物質型態、地形地貌與自然景觀以及非物質性元素。本計畫在不損及真實性與完整性的原則之下，針對遺產的保存價值與現存狀態，採取不同的因應策略。本案的過去為佇立於前線，等待戰爭的軍用據點。透過改建與活化，未來將作為坐擁海景與歷史遺跡，等候藝術與訪客的「等待美術館」。
本案包含一處建有地上一層的據點與地下坑道。配合美術館的空間需求，我們將既有建物中的隔間、天花、燈具等全數拆除，並將既有牆面的開口擴大，如同畫框一般將海景引入室內。地下坑道的部分主要則保留現狀，經修復並加裝照明後，也將作為展覽空間的一部份對外開放，為訪客帶來與眾不同的觀展體驗。
在美術館的發展過程中，展示的空間從附屬的庭院、長廊等，衍生到專門的建築，參觀者也從私人到群眾，展示的邏輯也從最一開始的私人品味，到時間性或主題性的擺放。等待美術館不同於普通美術館的典藏、研究與展示，是結合藝術家創作的現場，以及所處空間的場域性，對於美術館的未來提出全新想像的新形態美術館。
Matsu Battlefield Culture included visible objects, landscape, and intangible cultural heritage. Under the principle of not violating reality and completeness, this project is a series of proposals for the preservation and renovation of these battlefield heritages. In the past, Point 77 was a fortress located at the battlefront to “wait” for the war. However, in the future, through this project, it would transform into the “Awaiting Museum” with scenery sea view and historical heritage, “waiting” for art and visitors.
“Awaiting Museum” consists of a one-story building and an underground tunnel. To satisfy the space requirement for museums, we remove the existing spatial partition, ceiling and lighting. Moreover, the size of the windows is also been enlarged. These new windows would be more likely to the frame of paintings and bring in the astonishing sea view of Matsu. After the partial repairing and adding necessary lighting, the underground tunnel would also open to the public to provide a special and exclusive visiting experience.
In the development process of museums, the exhibition space has also evolved from the affiliated courtyard and corridor to specialized buildings, and the visitors have also changed from private guests to the public. The logic of the exhibition has also changed from being personal taste at the very beginning to chronological-oriented or other thematic placement. “Awaiting Museum”, different from the traditional museums main for collection, research and exhibition, combining the site for artistic creation and the locality of Matsu, is a brand-new typology of museums for the future.
