纽约建筑事务所Territories/M4发起一个人与金丝燕共居的住房众筹项目。众所周知，金丝燕乃是生产燕窝的唯一鸟类，而人们为了方便采摘燕窝甚至为金丝燕提供筑人工筑巢建筑，这些居住在人工小屋中的金丝燕被称作“屋燕”。但如果人类和金丝燕住在一起，会不会串个门就能摘点燕窝？当然这栋房屋内涵不止这样啦…

MMYST：人类和金丝燕的家
秉承不断变换、前卫革新理念的纽约建筑事务所Territories M4最近在众筹网站Kickstarters上发起了他们有史以来第一个众筹的建筑项目:MMYST—”mke_Me_yungR_sheltR_tmptation”。

通过一段视频，事务所创始人之一Lacadee描述了一个140平方米，人类和金丝燕共同拥有的“实验性混合住宅”。

Alongside François Roche, Lacadee heads the ever-mutating, radically-experimental architecture studio currently-known-as New-Territories / M4. For their new project MMYST, or “mke_Me_yungR_sheltR_tmptation,” they’ve launched a Kickstarter campaign that includes what is likely one of the most wonderfully strange videos that’s ever been on the crowd-funding website.

According to the campaign description, MMYST would comprise a 140 sqm (1500 ft²) “experimental hybrid building” to be shared by humans and swiftlets, a species of bird that makes unique nests out of saliva that are prized for their culinary applications.

项目的地点位于泰国一处丘陵地带，周围树木葱郁。 建筑物的核心是钢结构。 建筑的外表面用网眼状的几何形体织罗围合而成，并伪装成岩石的样子。材料使用的是一种轻质的具有一定耐久性的生物膨化泡沫，这种材料由碎木屑制作而成，目前还在测试阶段。建筑的窗户使用银色涂层的层压玻璃，以防止紫外线的侵入，且能反射周围的景观。整个建筑中只有一半在人类活动范围内的窗户是透明的，另一半属于金丝燕巢穴的窗户则是全黑的，后者通过玻璃上的涂层保证其内部阴暗的氛围和合适的湿度。目前，工作室已经用机器人完成了小尺度的原型实验和3D打印模型。

虽然这是一个众筹项目，但设计师认为“这并非一个商业行为……发起此次众筹的动机之一是‘分享’概念和时间。网络和社交媒体，让建筑师有机会自下而上的同公众进行对话。”

虽然视频有一些搞笑和古怪，但项目本身值得严肃地关注。MMYST可以被看做是对Felix Guattari生物智学理论——将“环境生物学、社会生物学和精神生物学”链接起来——的开创性的实践， 而项目本身也颇具野心：挖掘新的人类和非人类共同居住的可能性；开发建筑募资、建造和使用的全新模式。

MMYST跟当下的语境息息相关。这样一种试图将哲学、生物学、经济学、政治学杂糅啮合成一个单体的尝试，非常罕见，却也是时代所需要的。

Sited on an outcropping of cooled-lava in the lush landscape of Thailand, MMYST would be constructed using robots and a “bio-foam with scrap wood” that resembles lava.

The core of the construction is made by a steel structure (steel post and steel balloon frame) with, as the external surface, a catenary mesh geometry joining all surfaces. The large windows are silver-coated laminated glass to protect from UV rays and reflect the landscape. Only half of them are fully transparent (human zones), the others (Swiftlet caves) are extremely dark, coated to keep the shadow atmosphere of a cave (including humidity). We will use a robotic extruder fixed on a scissor lift to make the Lava skin (in lightweight bio-expandable durable (10 years) foam / from starch-flax… in test period for now). Small scale tests and prototypes have already been done at the studio with our own Robot (Kuka 6 axes R10KR1100), as well as 3D printed models of the house.

“One of the motives behind this crowdfunding is sharing: concepts and time,” states Lacadee in the video. “As architects we now have the opportunity to address a multitude through social networks and social media.”

While the video is humorous and eccentric, the project demands serious attention. Actively invoking ecosophy, the ground-breaking field of practice developed by Felix Guattari that links “environmental ecology to social ecology and to mental ecology,” MMYST is very ambitious: seeking to activate new and complex potentials for human and non-human cohabitation, in addition to developing novel models for architecture funding, construction, and use.

The issues at play in MMYST are all deeply relevant to the ecological and economic context of today, and it’s exciting to see a project that attempts to consider them simultaneously. It’s an architectural iteration of a rare, but urgent, mode of thinking that endeavors to consider psychology, ecology, economics, and politics within a singular, but heterogeneous, mesh-like fold.

一座由机器人建造而成的建筑……

it’s a building done by robot….

这是关于：

1）人类与鸟类为了相互的利益共生共存（Mutualism指的是分属两个物种的生物中任何一方都能从另一方的生命活动中获得好处。）

2）时间共享，超过10年的“使用权”协议（包括保洁、洗衣、建筑与景观维护、当地的服务以及接下来的各种状况）。

3）一个建筑项目，通过来自计算机和机器人实验的多种创新科技，定义一种于现实相呼应的美学策略（碎木屑膨化成生物泡沫……如同岩石化成岩浆四处流溢）。通过这些研究和技术，发展出一个具有群落特征（一种动物、植物和矿物共存的均衡状态）的“连续统一形态（把几种各异的结构以一定的顺序进行排列）”的设计，成为技术扩张之其他领域的一个范例。

It s about /

-1) A Human-Bird Mutualism for reciprocal benefits. (Mutualism is the way two organisms of different species exist in a relationship in which each individual benefits from the activity of the other).

2) A Time-Concept Sharing over 10 years, as an ‘usufruct’ transaction (including cleaning / laundry / maintenance of building and landscape / local services / see all the conditions below).

3) A Project of Architecture through several Innovations and Technologies with Computation and Robotic Fabrication to define a strategy of aesthetic in correspondence with the existing situation (expanding bio-foam with scrap wood… as a liquid rocky lava expansion). Through these Researches and Technics, the design will be developed in a “continuum morphology” (which organizes gradations between several identified structures) of the Biotopes (an equilibrium between Animal, Vegetal and Mineral) … an example of territorializing technologies.

特殊材料和机器人技术
建筑物的核心是钢结构，包括柱子和框架结构，建筑的外表面用网眼状的几何形体织罗围合成一体。大尺度的窗户使用带银色涂层的层压玻璃，以防止紫外线的侵入，且能反射周围的景观。只有一般的人类活动范围内的窗户是透明的，另一半金丝燕巢穴内的窗户则是全黑的，用玻璃上的涂层保证其内部阴暗的氛围和合适的湿度。我们还将使用一台固定在升降机上的机器挤压机制造流动性的建筑表皮（一种轻质的具有一定耐久性的生物膨化泡沫剂——由亚麻的淀粉制作而成，目前正在测试阶段）。工作室已经用Kuka 6 axes R10KR1100型号机器人完成了小尺度的原型实验和3D打印的房屋模型。

声明

这座建筑，包含生物智学（Felix Guattari）和人智学（Rudolph Steiner）的思想，将现实条件纳入考量之中，以一种生物形态主义探讨空间和时间的共享，通过众筹来进行自我推广，从传统建筑模式的权利的桎梏中开创出一条新的道路，让少数人为多数人作出决断。

通过网络和社交媒体，建筑师有机会自下而上的同公众进行对话。这一项目和其采用的众筹模式，就像一颗落入池塘的石子，用态度、用设计、用高科技和生物智慧来诱发对共享、交互的重新定义……通过相互合作和渗透去检验未来十年交互的可能。

Statement / This architecture, both ecosophical (Felix Guattari) and anthroposophical (Rudolph Steiner), hybrid of the situation, kind of bio-morphism, negotiating space and time sharing, is voluntary promoted via a crowd-funding apparatus, to open another way than the traditional delegation of power of the architecture scene, where few people decide for the others…

As architects, we now have the opportunity to address with the multitude, through the networks, social media and bottom-up … This project and this crowd-funding initiative are like a pebble (a lava stone in our case) thrown in the pond of the temptation to redefine sharing, exchanges, with attitude, with design, with high degree of technology and ecosophy… in symbiosis, in osmosis… to test a possibility of exchange for the next 10 years.
