Appreciations towards Yushan Men for providing the following description:

包装往往是达到目的的一种手段。我们收到货物，拆开包装，然后丢弃容器。然而，某些形式的包装，如运输箱和托盘，是为了耐用和重复使用而设计的。这些坚固的品质往往会激发出比原本的目的更丰富的使用模式。牛奶箱也是如此。

Packaging is often a means to an end. We receive a good, unwrap it, and discard the container. However, some forms of packaging, like shipping crates and pallets, are designed for durability and reuse. These sturdy qualities often inspire more robust modes of use than initially intended. The same is true for the milk crate.

“多孔城市”提倡与洛杉矶的许多社区进行交流。牛奶箱作为一个既不透明也并非实心的砖砌系统，在容纳展览的同时又不强加僵硬的边界。牛奶箱的灵活性允许各种设计方案并适应不同的空间。此外，牛奶箱对于大众的熟悉度使它能够被广泛的接受。

PORO-City proposes a dialogue with the many communities of Los Angeles. Milk crates function as a brick system that is neither transparent nor solid, housing the exhibition without imposing a rigid boundary. The milk crate’s flexibility allows for various design options that can adapt to different spaces. Moreover, its immediately familiar iconography makes it approachable to a wide range of audiences.

牛奶箱组装成起伏的多孔墙壁，框住了视线，强调了展览与场地之间的体验关系。堆叠的砖块图案让人联想起洛杉矶标志性景观——微风砖墙的纹理。鲜艳的色彩和多孔性的结合，使这个组合体引人入胜，成为一个令人兴奋的探索空间。

Assembled as undulating porous walls, crates frame views and emphasize the experiential relationship between exhibition and site. The stacked brick pattern recalls the textures of breeze block walls, iconic surfaces of the LA landscape. The combination of bright colors and porosity makes the assemblage enticing to approach and exciting to engage as a place of discovery.

牛奶箱的模块化使其具有灵活性和想象力，其坚固的结构使其非常适合重复使用。因此，牛奶箱在某种程度上体现了人们的足智多谋以及从平凡中创造非凡的能力。牛奶箱不断重组和重塑，就像一个生机勃勃的社区。

The modularity of the crate allows for flexibility and imagination, and its sturdy construction makes it ideal for reuse. In this way, milk crates exemplify resourcefulness and the ability of people to create the extraordinary from the mundane. Constantly recombined and reinvented, the aggregated milk crates behave like a lively community.

虽然我们希望展览设计是一个具有创造性的方式来展示艺术品，但我们使用的材料同时获得了 “第二次生命”。展览结束后，我们将牛奶箱捐赠给了多家社区组织，包括Shelter Partnership, Core Response, Food Finder, Food Not Bombs, Tia Chuchas Centro Cultural, Bicycle Kitchen, 和 Beldevere Community Garden，作为我们展览材料的第二个家。我们集体讨论了各种想法，包括衣物置放架、社区园艺花盆、学前教育用品储藏室和食品分发箱。我们希望这些分储藏箱在未来的许多年里可以继续被改造、重新设计并重复使用，我们很高兴看到这些充满活力、色彩斑斓的牛奶箱继续作为洛杉矶创造力的标志出现。

While the Exhibition design must satisfy creative ways to exhibit artwork, the materials used are also provided a “second life.” We donated the crates to several community organizations after the exhibition, including Shelter Partnership, Core Response, Food Finder, Food Not Bombs, Tia Chuchas Centro Cultural, Bicycle Kitchen, and Beldevere Community Garden as a second home for our exhibition materials. We collectively discussed ideas including shelving for clothes, planters for community gardening, storage for preschool supplies, and crates for food distribution. We hope the crates can continue to be adapted, reconfigured, and reused for many years to come, and we are excited to see the vibrant and colorful crates continue to appear as recognizable symbols of LA’s creativity.
