阿尔巴尼亚地拉那的自由景观

FREESCAPE OF TIRANA, ALBANIA

阿尔巴尼亚首都地拉那是一座言论不自由且身份认同感淡漠的城市。曾经动荡而黑暗的历史使得地拉那公民对于政府的信任早已支离破碎。那么,我们是否可以通过重构城市公共空间来更好地帮助个人与集体发声?本项目尝试从阿尔巴尼亚纺织品中提取体现人们身份认同感、记忆和声音的文化元素,并将其在城市尺度上再现。虽然该市正在实施的总体规划几乎没有考虑设置公共空间,但其提出了一种新型的多中心开发模式。项目以其中一个中心-一座废弃的纺织厂为切入点,通过在多功能城市开发的背景下对场地的文化记忆进行解读、提炼和表达,以实现集商业孵化、住房供给、公共空间营造、社区农业培育和交通导向型开发等为一体的综合性目标。该项目希望通过修复土壤、引入新的劳动形式,以及进行社区开发来挖掘场地的过去,进而改写地拉那的命运。通过解锁记忆和重构城市肌理,一种可供人们自由发声的开放的公共空间便形成了。

Tirana, capital of Albania, is a city where voices are silenced and identities remain opaque. With a tumultuous and dark history, Tirana’s political landscape, which is inherent to public trust, has been fractured. Then, how can the public realm be reconceived to better express individual and collective voices? This project explores how cultural forms of identity, memory, and voice found in Albanian textiles can be interpreted at the urban scale. The master plan currently implemented in the city scarcely recognizes public spaces but allocates new poly-center developments. Grounding the project in one of these poly-centers, a derelict textile factory, cultural memory is interpreted, extracted, and manifested in a multi-faceted urban development. Such a process aims to operate as a business incubator, housing and public space, community agriculture, and transitoriented development. This project aspires to reposition the city’s history by excavating the past through soil remediation, new forms of labor, and community development. Unlocking this memory and restructuring its texture will form a liberated, vocal, and free public realm.
