蛇口浮法玻璃厂入口,深圳,中国

Shekou Float Glass Factory Entrance,Shenzhen,China,2013

这是一个改造项目。甲方希望拆除它之后能增值,双年展主办方考虑的是公共利益,同时入口又必须有一个实验性的效应;作为建筑师,我觉得既然是改造,对于时间和记忆,应该有一种鲜明的态度和立场。于是,私有与公共、普适与具体、大众化与先锋性、过去与未来,这些并存是对立面还是一个硬币的两面？如果把这些都考虑周全,估计建筑将是一个妥协的产物,但我总觉得它应该作为一种宣言式的存在,但又不仅仅作为一种宣言式的存在。

This is a renovation project. The client hopes to have an added value after the renovation while the Biennial organisers take into account public interest and its experimental effects as the entrance; as architects, I think since it is a renovation, there should be a clear attitude and position for the time and memory. Then it brings the question that whether the coexistence like the private and public, the universal and the concrete, the popular and the vanguard, are the opposite sides of a coin or not. But I think if we try to balance all these ,the final result might become a compromised product. I always feel that it should be a manifestation of the existence, but not only as a declaration of its existence.
