Process 1 “No Exit” – A spatial restore project

这是一些来自生活中采样得到的灵感来源,他们和理论上的逻辑可能并没有非常相呈的地方,我也没有在看到这些建筑之前抱有任何的期待。但是回想起来的时候,他们提供了很多感受上的重合,尤其是空间语言上的,这些建筑部分和我想做的项目说的是同一种语言。

这里是三里屯Soho,一个很有意思的商业中心,从很远的地方你就可以看到太古里那栋五颜六色的建筑,而里面的一层和二层是优衣库的空间,三楼和四楼是餐厅和露台。

因为我实在是没有拍建筑正面的照片,就从网上找了一张

Deconstruction

这算是我比较喜欢做的事情,我很喜欢看到建筑师的草稿上不仅仅有画面,还有他们的标注和解读。当尝试去用绘画和图像来记录事物的时候,更重要的本质是去理解空间,尝试用自己的语言来理解眼前呈现的现象,在心理学中,这被称为”Accomodation”。

而绘画能做的事情远比拍照可以做的更多,比画的像更重要的是你如何在记录的时候对建筑产生理解。太古里的优衣库楼就被我理解为一个方块-削去了底面的两个角,并且形成了一个向下的切面。这个切面产生的建筑语言启发了我。

当人站在切面的下方的时候,削去的斜面更加容易产生巨大的错觉,这是因为向前延展的斜面在视野中会产生更大的形体,而建筑的底面却显得更小了。这就是斜面产生的建筑语言

而随着”Enormous”而来的是压迫的感觉,建筑厚重的形体现在悬浮在你的头顶之上,巨大的重量带来的就是严肃的压迫感。这一点真好是我要寻找的感觉-来自地狱的压迫感。

接下来我和我的建筑老师一起做了一个脑暴,列出了和NO EXIT所有相关的元素,其中包括了:

  1. No Exit的场景是发生在地狱当中的,那么地狱的语言有什么?
  2. No Exit这本书是怎么描绘了这个空间的?
    1. 青铜雕像
    2. 沙发
    3. 没有窗户和镜子
    4. 一个有时候不会响的门铃
    5. Paper Knife
    6. 两个女人和一个男人
  3. 三个人在书中形成了一个制衡的关系

然后还有几个点留给我去了解,包括两个电影和Plato’s Cave(这个其实还挺有意思的)

脑暴产生了很多点,可以供我去延展研究,但是我并没有采取其中大多数的点子,相反,我只对1和3有着一些后续的运用。这一次脑暴之后我就跳转到了Research和试验上了。

Introduce to “No Exit” – A spatial restore project

“No exit” is the book we’ve studied on EN3001 class couple weeks ago, including researches, debates, and monologue writing around the book. And I, was pretty much obsessed with the concept of “Existentialism” proposed by the composer of “No Exit”-Jeans Paul Satre. In the book, Satre depicted a room down in the hell, with one man and two women trapped. They are not able to escape from each other and with unavoidable to hurt each other.

“The hell is designed for the three, one man and two women. It brings a counterbalance position in between them. No one will be happy with other three. This is a sample model to have a existentialism hell. For Garcin, he will never sleep in hell, because the light is permanent on. The look from Inez will always follow him, because he or she can not leave the room…

…This is a completely contradiction to the free choice of Sartre’s existentialism. Individual self-consciousness precedes everything is the core proclaim from Sartre-“Existence precedes Essence.” The famous quote expresses the individual consciousness shall determine the essence of himself, including whether he is a coward or not.” (excerpts from my paper: “The Hell of Existentialism”)

However, the “Room“, is a architectural figure to be used by Satre, in order to built a atmosphere and tension in his book. For my self, now a big fan of existentialism. Prefer to use architectural language to express and discuss about the conceptual ideal in “No Exit”, and explore the possibility it brings to Art and philosophy.
