重构地表 上海油罐艺术中心

Reconstructing the Surface Tank Shanghai Art Center

在OPEN建筑事务所的实践中,地表始终扮演着一个重要的角色。在新近开幕的上海油罐艺术中心中,一个"Z"字形的"超级表面"将原服务于上海龙华机场的5个独立航油罐连接起来,形成了一座开放的城市公园和一个艺术机构的并置。通过回溯这一历时6年的项目设计历程,文章试图从关于城市地表的理论话语和OPEN的实践经历两条线索,对这一项目展开论述。它既标志着OPEN长期以来对城市公共性和空间开放性的追求,也就如何更高品质地维持这一公共性提出了新的挑战。

Ground has always played a key role in the practice of OPEN Architecture.Its recently-completed project Tank Shanghai Art Center proposes a Z-shaped super-surface to connect five individual oil tanks which previously served Shanghai Longhua Airport.As such,the project creates an open urban park in addition to the required art center.By tracing the six-year design process,the essay attempts to discuss the project through two threads:theoretical discourses on the urban ground as well as the role of ground in OPEN Architecture’s practice.While the project marks the office’s long-term pursuit of urban publicness and spatial openness,it also poses new challenges in how to better maintain the high quality of public space.
