Kic Park by 3GATTI

在Kik公园这个案例中，盖天柯先生设想出一个翻折的木制地板体系，致力于应对公共场地中不可避免的各种功能（坐具，绿地，步道，公告栏等⋯⋯）。建筑师用于渲染设计思路的形象——如古扇般裁剪翻折的纸片——不犹让人联想起德勒兹对折叠空间特质的渐成性（epigenic）描述：“发展和进化其实是已经改变它们本意的概念，因为如今他们的设计以渐成论（epigenesis）为造型基础或运用既不是预制（pre-formed）又不是内置（built-in）而是由各种毫不相像的构件组成的有机体和生物器官⋯⋯倚靠渐成论，有机折叠是从一个相对平整单一的表面通过找型、生产和复制等手段得到的。＊通过这种方法，盖先生从一个原生的、无个性的基本形式出发，最终塑造出一个既个性化又具有原创性的结果，他还在那些原本平庸的位置引入了发散性的间隔区域，以帮助人们找到各自的个人空间。建筑师用来覆盖整个表面的材料是最原初的理想材料——木，既灵动又亲和，它会随时间老化而记录当时的自然条件。木板升起之处展现草地树木交织出的内部生态空间。以这种手段，建筑师预先定义了人们闲聚、休憩甚至进行滑板运动等的特定行为场所，形成一块同时包容集会和私密并存的公共地毯。

Kic Park
Urban landscape in Shanghai

Kik Park is a leftover urban area that Francesco Gatti is surprised to see has escaped being built-up and which is positioned at the entrance to the Kic Village, constructed in recent years for the students at the nearby universities of Fudan and Tongji.  Since 2005 when the Italian architect transferred part of his professional activities to China he has recurrently been interested in the possibility of designing interstice spaces – as in the case of the In Factory JingAn Six Loft Buildings (2006), where the outside areas of the redevelopment project were treated on a par with a residential and work environment.

An essential element in his designs has always taken account of inter-activity:  in this case between the people concerned (their actions and activities) and the influence of natural elements such as weather and sounds.   In this sense the forms and materials used by the architect (ethereal false ceilings constructed with metal wires,  curved forms, faceted voluminous shapes, dappled coverings or panelling) vary depending on the project and its scale.  Some solutions are used “una tantum” as they are in response  to a specific and contextual condition.

This is the case with Kic Park where Francesco Gatti has imagined a pleated wooden floor destined to be suitable for all the functions that are indispensible in a public area(seats, green spaces, pathways, publicity panels …). The image used by the architect to illustrate his idea – that of a sheet of paper cut and folded like a fan – brings to mind the epigenetic description that Deleuze gives of spaces characterized by the use of a fold: Development and evolution are concepts that have changed their significance, because today they designate epigenesis or the apparition of organisms or organs that are neither pre-formed nor built-in but formed from different objects that do not resemble them […] With epigenesis the organic fold is sought after, produced, and
multiplied from a surface that is relatively flat and uniform.  *In this way Gatti, using a generic and characterless basis, has accomplished plastic results that are both individual and original,  and has introduced divergent intervals into an area that would otherwise be anonymous – thus enabling people to find their own personal space.

The architect has covered the whole surface with wood, an ideal primitive material that is both flexible and hospitable, that grows old and shows the temporary nature of the
operation. Where the wood rises up, one can see a living underworld made of grass and trees. The architect in this way has predisposed specific spaces where people can chat
together, have a rest, or even go skateboarding.  A social carpet that does not exclude the coexistence of aggregation and individualism.
