Research: Paradoxical Green | 研究:矛盾的绿皮


.

背景
绿化代表大众福利,是沙土在城市环境中的视觉替代物,是城市设计师在大规模城市设计图纸中模棱两可的表面填充物,但都“请勿践踏!”,绿化属于城市,但并不属于公众生活。
.
绿化温顺、纯净、受约束,压制恐惧、肮脏和不确定性;绿化是权力和民主之间角力的战场——用最民主的方式占领和覆盖。
.
绿化是自然的再现,但完全不自然,是工业复制和基因工程的产品;草皮由工厂预制,被裁成具有模数的方块,用卡车运输,由工人安装。
.
绿化是形成城市视觉质量最经济、最有效的方式——用最少的材料消耗,在最短的时间内覆盖最广泛的暴露表面;改革开放初的珠江三角洲如此,奥运前的北京亦如此。

Four Steps of Representing a Chinese Handscroll

(this project was presented as part of Ling Fan's final master thesis at Princeton University, School of Architecture, 2007)
.

Step 0_Unrolling
Normally, Chinese handscroll is unrolled from right to left and viewed only one section at a time (one end of the scroll is rolled up as the other end is unrolled). By manipulating the two ends of the scroll simultaneously, the spectator is free to move back and forth in the composition.
