EXPLORING CHINA’S URBAN DEVELOPMENT PATTERN THROUGH PRACTICE OF URBAN VILLAGE IN THE PEARL RIVER DELTA

本次访谈围绕中国的城市发展问题展开。受访人孟岩介绍了URBANUS都市实践建筑设计事务所长期以来对城市的观察和思考,并以深圳城中村为切入点探讨了怎样的城市才是充满活力、具有都市性的健康城市。此外,他希望通过2017深港城市/建筑双年展突破观念和边界的桎梏、建立交流机制,并探索未来可能的新的城市发展模式。孟岩认为设计师只有先成为一个观察者、思考者、研究者,才能更好地回应一个地区的独特语境和文化特征。

This interview centers on the urban development issues faced by most Chinese cities. Yan Meng, Principal. Architect and Co-founder of URBANUS Architecture and Design, shares his perspective on cities, and discusses what kinds of cities are dynamic, lively, and healthy by taking urban village in Shenzhen as an example. Besides, as one of the curators, he hopes that the 2017 Shenzhen Bi-city Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture can offer an opportunity to break boundaries, foster communication and exchange, and explore new urban development pattern in the future. Meng also believes that architects＇ roles as an observer, a thinker, and a researcher could allow them to better respond to the unique context and cultural characteristics of a site as a designer.
