我们每个人都居住在不同的社区里,社区就是我们的家园。由于社区的人口结构、居民的生活方式以及社区的外围环境总是在动态地改变着,社区必然也要通过不断更新来满足居民日益变化的生活需求。北京大栅栏地区是我比较熟悉的社区。前几年在大栅栏参加北京国际设计周,布展和展览期间,我们每天都会来到这里。我们看到大栅栏的胡同多是两边院墙夹峙的灰色通道,没有什么公共空间,居民居住的院落里也大多拥挤杂乱。然而在一条胡同的转角,我们却发现了一处充满绿色生机的场景。因为附近的人家在这里利用墙边檐下的边边角角,种植了瓜蔓藤豆,将这里变成了一个充满生活情趣的小小的逗留空间。这个转角启发了我们,如果能充分利用大栅栏的胡同和杂院中的微小空间,种植花卉藤蔓,大栅栏这些胡同的气氛将完全不同,生活环境也将更加舒适温馨。

Each of us lives in a different community,and the community is our home.Because the population structure of the community,the lifestyle of the residents,and the surrounding environment of the community are always changing dynamically,the community must also continuously update to meet the changing needs of the residents.The Dashilan area in Beijing is a community I am familiar with.I participated in Beijing International Design Week in Dashilan a few years ago.During the preparation and exhibition period,we came here every day.We saw that the hutongs in Dashilan were mostly gray passageways sandwiched between the courtyard walls on both sides.There was no public space,and the courtyards where residents live were mostly crowded and cluttered.However,at the corner of an alley,we found a scene full of green vitality.Because nearby people used the corners and edges under the eaves of the wall to grow vine plants,this place had become a small living space full of life.This corner has inspired us.If we can make full use of the small space in Dashilan's alleys and courtyards,planting flowersand vines,the atmosphere of these alleys in Dashilan will be completely different,and the living environment will be more comfortable and warm.
