北京城市建筑雙年展
我們設計一個立方體，首先它必須始終是對立方體本身的探討，而不是引入其他臆想的設計條件。方案唯一的限制是展方所給出的展品尺寸限制：20厘米邊長的立方體。
于是我們將這個限制視為項目的“基地”，對其進行分析、并展開形式探索。方案從“尺度”（基于20厘米的倍數）和“運動”（形體變化的方向）入手。在經歷了許多輪的令人興奮的試錯和討論后我們得到了一個由簡單的九宮格變化發展來的復雜形體。它的表面以理性模式分布著諸多邊長為20厘米幾何倍數、等差數列進行大小變化的洞口。每一個洞口向形體內部正交拉伸，相互碰撞，產生了復雜的幾何變化，并產生了很多看似“走廊”、“窗”、“門”的視覺元素。這個結果非常出乎我們意料：因為整個過程中，形體從未被刻意與狹義的“建筑”聯系起來。這個“類建筑”不禁使我們思考作為學科領域語言一部分的那些詞匯——“窗”、“門”、“墻”、“柱”等——究竟意味著什么；以及在設計過程中形式能如何反向啟發設計者。
方案反思了在“功能”為代表的促使建筑生成的基礎文本缺位的情況下、“設計”能夠如何推進。我們嘗試將難以描述的“設計行為”以可見的方式展示出來。展品最終意義在我們看來并不重要，我們鼓勵每一個觀眾按照他自己的喜好去與之互動，并對其進行解釋。
BEIJING URBAN AND ARCHITECTURE BIENNALE
When we design a cube, first of all, it must always be a discussion of the cube itself, rather than introducing other imaginary design conditions. The only limitation of the scheme is the exhibit size limitation given by the exhibitor: cube with 20 cm side length.
Therefore, we regard this limitation as the "base" of the project, analyze it and explore its form. The scheme starts with "scale" (based on multiples of 20cm) and "movement" (direction of shape change). After many rounds of exciting trial and error and discussion, we got a complex form developed from simple Jiugongge changes. On its surface, there are many holes with geometric multiples of 20 cm in side length and arithmetic progression changing in size in rational mode. Each hole extends orthogonally to the inside of the shape and collides with each other, resulting in complex geometric changes and many visual elements that look like corridors, windows and doors. This result is very unexpected: because in the whole process, the form has never been deliberately associated with the narrow sense of "architecture". This "architecture-like" can't help but make us think about what the words-window, door, wall, column, etc.-which are part of the language of the subject field really mean. And how the form can reverse inspire the designer in the design process.
The scheme reflects on how "design" can be promoted in the absence of the basic text of "function". We try to show the indescribable "design behavior" in a visible way. The final significance of the exhibits is not important to us. We encourage every audience to interact with them according to their own preferences and explain them.
