西大井的洞——都市野生生态学

Holes in Nishioi:urban wild ecology

我给“西大井的洞”(Holes in Nishioi)这个项目起了一个叫做“都市的野生生态学”的副标题。都市和野生是两个矛盾的词,我们在这两个词中投射的是一种在都市中疯长的杂草般的坚韧感,它顽强地生长在沥青和混凝土的人工建筑之间的细小缝隙中。既然都市中已经充斥着建筑,那就让我们穿破这些构造物,来创造自己的家园吧。在寻找住所的时候,我们选择了西大井这个地方,这里可以不经过换乘直达品川、东京、涩谷及新宿这些大车站。

I gave the project"Holes in Nishioi"a subtitle"Urban wild Ecology".The terms"urban"and"wild"seem contradictory.we projected onto these words a toughness of weeds that grow spontaneously in the city,the tenacity to live in the tiny gaps between asphalt and concrete.The city is already full of buildings.So why not carve out our own dwelling from these constructions?In our search for a home,we chose Nishioi,which offers direct access to Shinagawa,Tokyo,Shibuya,and Shinjuku.
