我们的设计实践基于一个基本认知,即存在的本质是「事物」与「事物间关系」的共生,两者混同一体、互根互用。相应地,群体-个体、新生-故旧、消解-建立、开始-结束……,看似对立的矛盾间往往并无绝对分野,只是作为连续光谱的「本质」在不同条件下、不同对象面前具体呈现出的「显相」。
我们将建筑视作一种灵活的框架性媒介,用以精准调和各项目中的具体「显相」元素,让它们组成互为拱扶的系统,系统中每个元素都因其他元素的存在而增益自身,最终形成一种既统一又多元的「混同」场域,令身处其中的每个人都拥有根据自身喜好选择如何感受空间的权力,从而让同一建筑中的不同个体都能获得独属自身的「自在」体验。
「不,也」因而可以被理解为一种「中庸」的中枢:不如此,也不如彼、不在此,也不在彼、不受缚,也不自由、不有,也不无。面对当下及可预见的未来,或许这种同时寻求「自上而下的秩序」与「自下而上的自由」、「群体的共识」与「个体的选择」、在统一的本质与纷繁的显相之间取得微妙平衡的建筑,仍有能力让人与物理世界重新和解与连接。
Our design practice is based on the fundamental belief that the essence of existence is the symbiosis of "Things" and their “Interrelations”. The two reciprocally define and reinforce each other, neither could exist solely. There are often no absolute distinctions between the seemingly opposite contradictions—Collective-Individual, New-Old, Devastating-Constructive, Begin-End, etc.—they are usually just different appearances of a single "Thing-Interrelation" essence. We regard architecture as a flexible framework and medium to involve the polarized elements of each project into dialogue, creating an Interpotentiation Field where all elements’ energies are heightened in each other’s presence, revealing the existing essential capacity of a project’s Context, and endowing architecture with the spiritual transcendence that directly appeals to human heart.
NOR is considered as a Core of The Middle Way: neither this nor that, neither here nor there, neither bound nor free, neither Being nor Non-being. It seeks both “flexible mediation” and “precise intervention”, ambiguously yet explicitly searching for connections and balances between top-down order and bottom-up freedom, between collective tendencies and individual choices, and between numerous appearances and the essential unity.
