阮昊: Becoming a city innovator through design

Hey, the founder of Zero City Architects, presided over the architect. Master of Architecture, Princeton University, USA, Master of Architecture, Tsinghua University, currently teaching at the China Academy of Art. He was elected as “2013 China Interior Design Top Ten Person of the Year” and his works have won many awards.

The “Cat Table” of the work Participating in Milan Design Week became one of the most eye-catching works.

Works of Tiantai Second Primary School, Top Runway School

Recently, the design of the “roof runway” and “cat table” that attracted much attention has attracted great attention, and these works are from a young generation designer – 阮昊. As a typical representative of the new generation of Chinese architects, he was born in 1985 with the famous saying of Zhang Ailing: fame is early.

Micro-innovation - building connections between different things

When it comes to innovation, I feel that any idea is not done overnight. It must come from a certain grasp of the emotional needs of users. For architectural design, innovation is more motivated by some limitations of real-life conditions.

“For example, running a school in Tiantai County, we want to be able to design a school. It can still provide children with the right to run under a particularly limited venue, so that he can have a running space when he was a child. This is One of his emotional needs. We hope that for such an emotional need for him, not only to satisfy him, but also to give it some improvement in a new way."

In his view, innovation is not a 100% invention or creation, but more of a "micro-innovation", referring to the connection between things we seem to have nothing to do with.

“For that school, it established the relationship between the runway and the school roof; for the table, it established a connection between the space of the cat and the space of the table. So it’s The connection between things that have nothing to do, can be an innovation, in such a way to generate some new ideas."

The artistic rationality or sensibility of architecture?

The reason why architecture has become the head of the seven major arts is that it is a carrier of many other art. Like painting or sculpture, it can be attached to the building.

In fact, architects must not only invest in emotional factors, but also consider the limitations of venues, orientations, and functions. Is architecture more rational or more emotional? Well, frankly, architecture is not pure art. .

“Architecture must ultimately be able to match its functional, practical and emotional needs, because people want to live in it and use it. You can't simply say how much rationality and sensibility it has.”

Current urban living environment issues: unhappy

Regarding the problems existing in the current building, I believe that the biggest problem is that people are not happy.

"Everyone is a two-point life, because our resources are very limited now, everyone is scrambling to have resources. The people in the city live in places that are not happy enough because of such places or environments." He feels happy and happy. It is the most basic emotional need of people. Therefore, what designers need to improve is to make the living environment and the city less boring than it is now. For example, when you walk through a certain road, you can find that a certain building is a bit fine. When you enter a space, you can find that this space can have a dialogue with people's emotions. This is a very delicate thing, and it is the future residence. The environment is an important development direction.

Before the planning and design of our living environment was mostly top-down, but now the era of the Internet is more of a bottom-up invisible way, from the most basic use of the unit, It is the user who set off to come up with a living environment.

Designed to be an urban innovator

At present, the design team of Zero City has more than 30 people, and their design fields include architecture, interior, exhibition hall and furniture design.

"We hope to do interesting things. The interesting things in our category actually refer to the design things, that is, things that can be seen and touched. We are from a small scale, a table, a piece of furniture. To a building, we will do it here.” In the eyes of Zhai, when the human emotions are the starting point, all the designs are connected.

When asked about future plans, he hopes to be a powerful innovator under the theme of China's urban renewal through design.

“Like the design of the Tiantai Primary School we are doing, we are not discussing how a school should be designed, but exploring a model, such as how this primary school can make the most effective use of its land in a city with high density. And space to form the building we want. This model can be used in different cities, because it is not a case, it will have such high density problems in many old cities in China, so we hope this This mode can be promoted, and I am more concerned about this matter."
