“即使在最豪华的小区，阅读仍然是不可或缺、温暖人心的场所” — 俞挺

“Even in the most luxurious district, reading is still an indispensable, heartwarming place” – Yu Ting

.

大都市里每个人都是孤岛嘛？
Is everyone in the metropolis an island?

本项目是古北一号社区泛会所的最后一部分，泛会所已经将健身、瑜伽、SPA、泳池、咖啡简餐、儿童游乐等其他空间建设完成。不过和所有高级小区一样，但泛会所并没有能够极大发生让社区居民交流的化学作用，现实是豪华的背后总是独立家庭互不相干的孤寂。发展商最后决定建设这个邻里中心，目的是希望居民能够在这里互相认识。但什么样的场所能够吸引居民，会议，阅览室，童书馆，画廊，视听室？或者索性综合有之！这种对未来的期许以及执行中的不确定反而让建筑师有更大的空间去探索更社会化的命题：在商品房小区仅对内部开放的客观条件下，如何用建筑作为工具去激活社区中心的意义，来促进邻里的交流。

This project is the last part of Onepark Gubei community club, which has already completed other spaces such as fitness, yoga, SPA, swimming pool, coffee, children’s playground and so on. But as same as all senior districts, the community club had not done a great job for residents to be together, the reality behind the luxury is always loneliness of the independent families. The developer finally decided to build the neighborhood center, hoping residents could get to know each other here. But what kind of place can attract residents? Conference, reading room, children’s library, gallery, audio-visual room? Or the combination of them? This willing for the future and the uncertainty of execution allow the architects to explore a more socialized proposition: how to use buildings as a tool to activate the meaning of community centers under the condition of restrictive internal open, and to further promote the communication of neighborhoods.

所有过去皆为序曲
All past are preludes

这个位于上海古北的高端居住区，是一个物质丰饶的场所。发展商精心开发和维护，、使得建筑、空间和居住品质都有极良好的保证，小区的公共区域和整体环境有着高端物业空间传统，表现出令人感喟的优雅、精英的仪式感。建筑师以此作为设计的上句，与之鲜明对比地营造了一个柔软、放松的阅读空间作为下句。在大理石的泛会所里植入了一片知识的森林，希望居民们被温和地包裹沉浸在这个温暖人心的软性环境，使居住者在此能卸下外界物质忙碌的包袱，回归家庭邻里亲近往来的轻松气氛，愿意主动地于同在一个社区但总是彼此错开的邻居结识，促进邻里之间的交流。由此而激活了邻里社交的潜力。

Onepark Gubei is a high-end residential district and a fertile place in Shanghai. Developers carefully developed and maintained the district to guarantee the buildings, space and living quality on a superb level. The district’s public area and the overall environment has a high-end tradition, showing a serene elegant and elite ritual. The architects use this as a last design sentence, with a contrast to create a soft, relaxed reading space as the next sentence. To plant a knowledge of forest in the marble Community Club, hoping the residents can be gently wrapped in the warmth of the soft environment, so that they could remove the busy material life and return to the familial relaxed atmosphere. Here they would be willing to know people in the same community and promote communication between each other, thus activating the social potential of the neighborhood.

由于物质条件的丰裕，思想才更需要凸显其温暖人心的价值。建筑师就此创作的自由自在的阅读和艺术场所打动了业主。于是被委托重新设计这个已经完成施工图、并已开始施工的项目。在具体落实上，建筑师以最合理和最经济的方式介入设计修改，在不改变原有结构、分区、规范等设计基础的情况下，对整个空间氛围完成了脱胎换骨的改变。在入口层（上层），曲线的仿木铝板柔和地升起降落，云片状的吊灯蜿蜒穿越其中，仿佛庭院绿意被最大程度引入室内后，被提炼形成森林一般自由自在的空间感，社区居民可以在这里卸下面具而放松的交往，这似乎可以看见有如节日的欢快和愉悦。

As the material conditions gets better, spirit needs more room to highlight its warmth to people. The architect’s idea of the free reading and art scene moved the owners. They were commissioned to redesign the project which had already started construction. In the specific implementation, the architects use the most reasonable and economical way to intervene in the design changes. Without changing the original structure, zoning, norms and other design basis of the case, the entire space environment completes its reborn. On the entrance floor (upper floor), the curvature wood looking aluminum plates softly rise and fall, cloud-like chandeliers meandering through the place, as if the courtyard green is invited to the inside and refined to form a forest-like free space. Community residents can remove the mask in social life and have a relaxed communication here with a joy of the festival.

作为主角的大台阶使得上下两层成为一体，不仅是人流，光线也可随着大台阶从室外有如瀑布倾泻而下进入下层。这个下层是不同于上层，它是更沉静的对偶空间，在这里，交往的需求被降低，我们希望来访者更专注的阅读、以及欣赏艺术画作，这里需要沉下心，建筑师用大面积的黑色削弱了活跃度，并在两翼进一步用黑色和灯光营造更加私人化、冥想化的空间，包括洗手间。从而造就了整个社区里最有神秘意境的洗手间。最后这个邻里中心达到了建筑师的设想，自由交往和思考。

The grand step acts as a leading role to make the upper and lower floors together, not only the flow of people, light can also pour down along the grand step from the outside into the lower floor. The lower floor is different from the upper one, which is a quieter dual space. The demand for communication is reduced, visitors here would be more focused in reading and appreciating art painting. As people need to be sunk, the architects used a large area of black to weak the degree of activity, and further use black and light to create a more private, meditative space in the wings as well as the bathroom. Thus creating most mysterious mood of bathroom within the whole community. Finally, the neighborhood center reached the architect’s vision of free communication and thinking.

人文和技术，鱼和熊掌是可以兼得的
Humanities and technology, Let’s have both fish and bear’s paw

为了实现这样一个柔软自由的场所，我们使用了大量时代前沿的数字化理念和技术，每一片曲线、企口都不尽相同的板材都通过编程设计优化，由数控机床直接加工生产，现场安装。尽管在环境塑造上，我们营造了非常人文的场所意境，但我们在设计和建造的方法上，使用的确实具有时代感的科学技术—这也是对偶。

In order to achieve such a soft and free place, we used a large number of forefront concept of digital and technology. Each curve, groove and tongue on different plates are optimized through Programming design and directly produced by the NC machine tools to be installed on site. Although we created a very humanistic mood in building the environment, in the design and construction methods, we use latest technologies in the sense of the time- this is also a kind of Dual representation.

村上春树说过“每个人都有属于自己的一片森林，也许我们从来不曾去过，但它一直在那里。迷失的人迷失了，相逢的人会再相逢。” 建筑师于是特地创造了属于这个小区居民的森林。

Murakami Haruki once said, “Everyone has a forest of their own, maybe we had never been there, but it is always there. Lost people are lost, met ones will meet again.” The architect specially created the inside forest for the neighborhoods within Onepark Gubei.
