社區服務中心
雖然距人流涌動的重慶火車西站僅約1.5公里路程，但項目基地的區位決定了它是一塊位于城市之中的“邊緣地塊”。整個街區缺乏必要的市民服務設施，成為欣欣向榮城市中的一個被遺忘的孤島。而在新的城市開發計劃中，基地周圍的工業設施會被拆除并變為城市公園。鄰近的城市街區內亦開始出現新興的住宅組團，而火車站的投入使用也為這一區域帶來再發展的契機。業主便希望在此修建一棟多層建筑作為未來面向社區的市民服務中心和配套辦公的場所，以服務這一處于轉型時期的城市區域。
除了特別的基地條件，建筑師還需要回應的是一份不一樣的任務書。由于土地產權的關系，整個建筑必須被分為兩大部分：市民服務中心部分，以及作為“回遷房”而還給基地原有業主的的部分。建筑師得到的是一份“沒有功能的功能任務書”——它要求“中性”的建筑室內布局，并從一開就不能被簡單劃歸到“公共”或者“私有”中的任何一類，也無法以“商業“、”酒店“之類的市場術語所解釋；同時以利用率之名，它也拒絕建筑師對室內進行大刀闊斧的雕鑿。
種種限制促使建筑師重新思考這一項目所具備的可能性。項目伊始，我們就意識到這一建筑將會對所在的街區產生積極的影響——不僅僅是因為其服務中心的功能，更因為它是這個工業區內唯一的市民建筑。我們希望這座建筑成為這片城市邊緣街區振興的象征。我們也希望讓建筑呈現一種模棱兩可的面貌，得以探索建筑形式超越功能可能性。
最終的建筑的形象神秘地與重慶這座城市產生了某種共振。這座城市由于其強烈的地理特征而擁有著獨特的建筑風貌：與英雄一般雄踞一方的平原建筑不同，所有的山城建筑都自動地被消解成為從屬于城市形象的一個部件。而在此項目中，我們以一個體量被拆解、面貌模糊的建筑，回應這座城市的空間記憶。

HILLTOP CENTER
Although with Chongqing’s crowded West Train Station only 1.5 kilometers in reach, the site is still considered as a ‘deserted land’ due to the community’s urban location. There is virtually lacking necessary civic service facilities, making the site as a forgotten island in middth of this booming town. The hope for change finally arrives, according to new urban planning, as the surrounding-site industrial structures are deemed to be demolished. Residential blocks are springing in neighboring area, while the opening of the latest train station is certainly making base for re-development. The client wishes to build a low-rise building housing civic service center with offices to confront the needs for this transforming urban area.
Besides the specific site condition, Architect is also compelled to respond to unique program book. Due to legal reasons, the building shall be composed by two parts: a civic service center owned by local government, and leasable floors for the landowner. Therefore, it is a ‘program book without program’ that architect received; it asks for ‘neutral’ layout, which cannot be categorized into simple genres like ‘public’ or ‘private’, nor it can be explained by marketing terms like ‘commercial’ and ‘hotel’. It also refuses interior spatial sculpturing by architect, in the name of ‘efficiency’.
All the constraints force architects to rethink project’s possibilities. Back to the beginning, we realized the potential positive impact this building could bring to the community- not only this is a public service facility, but also the only civic building in this heavy industrial area. We wish this building will be a symbol for the block’s rebirth. We also wish to this building to have certain ambiguity so we can explore the possibility of from transcending program.
In the end, the image of building resonates to the city of Chongqing in a mysterious way. This city has been owning unique look caused by its strong geographic character. Unlike heroic architectures of plane cities, all buildings of this mountain city are dissolved into parts of a larger city image. As an echo to the city’s spatial memory, we make the project as a decomposed one with ambiguity images.
