Avondale Market

IMG_6846

奥克兰的Avondale Market 号称是新西兰最大的市集,从1972年至今每周日开放。波利尼西亚、亚洲、中东文化在这里随处可见,但最酷的还是市集使用的空间:赛马场看台。不知为何,每次来到这里都有一种世界尽头的感觉。

Public Bamboo Structure

废墟

IMG_2170

学习建筑五年,毕业工作五年,不停地做展览搞活动,却与造房子这回事儿玩捉迷藏——好像从一开始就在逃避,躲避一般建筑的长期固定,寄望于自认为是更能发人深省的种种临时项目,说要实践年轻的建筑理想,在墨守成规的城市生活里激发人们对生活环境的反思,创造新建筑精神! 渐渐地,从事各种短期项目变成生活中长期固定而且重复的行为,我也忽略开始一个很重要的问题——或者说是再一次故意逃避?!——临时项目的长期性,需要不断地重新审视和思考。其实一个展览结束了,讨论发生了,热闹过去了,给一个城市留下的点点滴滴,或是明示或是潜行,像种子,有时间的孕育,自然会茁壮成长。

博客差不多五个月没有更新了,不知道说明了什么?肯定是特别忙,又或者说特别不忙,才没什么好分享? 昨天有人说,有些事当时不做,以后也就不会做了。过去的一个月里我去了一些地方,也有些想法,确实,如果现在不放上博客,估计接下来也不会放。 整理这几个地方照片,可见一些相似之处,是潜意识里向往的生活方式——离现在的都市生活有些远。我不知道如何去计划在这些地方居住工作,只有带着观光客的浪漫眼光匆匆路过。 把理想变为现实,感觉不可能理性到达,好像还需要一点想象力和勇气。

Jingdezhen

Jingdezhen is a city roughly southwest and inland from Shanghai. We really didn’t know what to expect arriving there other than its prominence in ceramic production in China; which is long, illustrious and well documented. Of course what we found ourselves … Continue reading

Pervert Pleaser

Tongue

I’m not really sure how you say it but next time you’re at your local chuar joint ask for “pervert spicy”… You won’t be disappointed but your body is going to hate you for it. Of course, obligatory Burberry somewhere. “Smooth” I wonder … Continue reading

西城区非物质文化遗产展示中心

DSC04355

上周的某天,我们参观了位于西四的西城区非物质文化遗产展示中心,简称“非遗”。此非遗中心,我是去年就听说了。去年夏天的一天傍晚,房东的儿子兴高采烈地跑来跟我说他去了一个叫非遗的民族文化展览馆,还在那儿学习了如何做“毛猴儿”,他说,离家特别近,就在西四路口,建议我一定要去看看。
