從歷史的角度,無論建築如何演變,最後都將是明日的歷史。明日的建築,會有什麼可能性呢?然而,建築歷史是一個形體與空間的發展史。有些建築師嘗試回歸舊有建物型態之傳統企圖自符合機能需求之,反之,其他人則努力於材料與形式之應用。

特別是科技日益精進、藝術觀念不斷翻新的現代,有人企圖預言未來又始終無法躍進未來。建築設計難以歸納為某一特定風格,而又因其風格的詭變,當代始終是一門迷人的藝術,永遠有令人探究不盡的樂趣。

Wei-Ke Cheng 鄭幃格 畢業於英國皇家藝術學院建築研究所 Royal College of Art / School of Architecture Master of Arts (RIBA Part 2),替2020居住於冰島雷克雅維克的200戶 500位居民所設計的新的建築形式。

他突破自我使用“彩色線”來突破傳統建築圖學的概念及框架,並利用彩色線來表現建築體的深淺以及實際建築體色彩上的設計。以軟體製作室內及室外模擬動畫,製作分析圖,呈現不同的視覺體驗及顏色轉換,以及日夜溫度變化影響建築立面顏色的轉變。

Architecture Question: 

How to deconstruct building elements into one single module or tissue system? 
How to challenge the high modernist notion that space and structure should manifest as geometric shapes which are consisted of particular architectural elements.
How to define an openness without solid boundary? 


建 築 議 題:

如何將建築元素解構為單一模矩或特殊的結構系統?
如何挑戰現代主義的觀念,一個以空間和結構由特定建築元素組成的幾何形狀定義個觀念?
如何不以“邊界”來定義“開放性空間”?




Form Diagram 形變圖示



Open means redefining room as no longer something divided or separated part of a building, enclosed by walls, a floor, and a ceiling. It also explores what we think of how we begin the basic part of living, sleeping, playing etc.

General speaking, solid volumes such as walls and fences are used to define the boundaries of spaces, and the rest of void space is the so-called open space. Ironically, this definition points out what the boundaries are distinctively but does not indicate what the open spaces suppose to be.

From my aspect, openness should be defined by openness itself, which is flexible and informal. By subtracting from the solid volume as a design tactic, it is able to create and redefine the space of openness and the concept of the room, rather than building solidly enclosed boundaries to a room or to openness.


在現代主義的觀念裡,空間便是由這些元素定義的,例如四道牆加上門及窗便成為了一間房(room)。但是開放性空間何嘗不也是一間巨大的房間?例如,廣場被四條馬路跟四排街屋所包圍,形成了中間的虛空間,換言之,它也是一個 “room” 的概念,只是定義它的是不一樣的元素, 但概念上卻是不盡相同, 也讓人能夠再次去思考這樣的空間的可能性。

一般而言,如牆壁和圍欄等的實體建築元素用於定義空間且形成了邊界,而其餘的、剩下的虛空間則是所謂的空間或是房間 (room)。 諷刺的是,這個定義強烈且具體得指出了邊界本身,但並非說明了中間“虛空間”的開放性 (openness)是如何被定義的或是如何被設定的。

而在幃格的建築討論中,“Openness” 應該由其空間本身的條件或是空間利用來作定義,是更加彈性且不受拘束的空間。因此幃格以“減法的概念”作為設計起步的手法,來定義開放空間及開放性,亦即將一個完整的且實體的量體中減去或是除去,而這些減去或被除去的自由且有機的空間則可能為開放空間或是開放場域,同時也重新定義的房間(room)的概念,不再只是劃出一道道邊界去定義所謂中間的、虛的開放性 (Openness)。

The ambition and proposal of Nomadic Bed:

The project, Nomadic Bed is from the perspective of an experimental architecture which provides people with the ability to live or to reside in an excessive period, such as change of time, the natural issue, the shift of environment, reality escaping, etc. 

For instance, many countries are exposed to extreme climate conditions that may face winters without enough sunlight or summers with unbearable heat. The ambition of Nomadic Bed aims at a new notion of cohabitation and community during the excessive period.


“500人的遊牧生活”的提案


“500人的遊牧生活”是以實驗性建築的角度出發,它為人們提供了生活及居住在過度時期的能力,而這樣的過渡期間如時間的變化、自然問題或環境的變化等等,例如,許多國家都面臨極端氣候條件,這些氣候條件可能在沒有足夠陽光或夏季難以忍受的熱量的情況下面臨冬季。“500人的遊牧生活”旨在實現集體居住和社區的新概念於特殊的過渡期。

The statement of Nomadic Bed:


The proposal of “Nomadic Bed” is a 20,000m2 nomadic space for 200 households located in the centre of Reykjavik. It provides a nomadic space that allows residents being able to live together without any restrictions, and space is challenging the modernist architectural notion that has no particular architectural elements like wall, floor, and opening. However, the sufficient conditions and various spaces offer a quality of “GIANT BED” to people to live and to inhabit. 

“500人的遊牧生活”設計理念:

“500人的遊牧生活”提案位於冰島雷克雅維克,並以200戶家庭為設計範本所設計的20,000平方米游牧集居空間,它提供的是一個游牧空間,允許居民能夠以極少的生存限制生活在一起,而此案在挑戰現代主義建築理念,並且屏棄所有特定的建築元素,如牆壁,地板和開口,簡化成人類居住基本單元“床”,然而這個“巨大的床”滿足所有生存條件和各種生活空間,可能是工作、交流或是睡覺等等的空間,提供人們簡單卻富足的集居遊牧生活。

Through sleeping and living at Nomadic Bed, people live in isolation from the outside and lose the sense of time to spend the period of environmental transition or life transition. This living model may become a new notion and alternative of cohabitation and community. 

However, why is it located in Reykjavik? In wintertime, Iceland is in an excessive period, which has very short daylight and low temperature, so each condition causes here a distinctive environment situation, and which brings difficulties for people to live. By its extreme weather conditions, my proposition may demonstrate a transitional and segregative space to pass through the 150-day of winter. 

Nevertheless, Reykjavik could be just one of the experimental places to demonstrate Nomadic Bed by virtue of its climate and geothermal condition. In fact, if it could work in Reykjavik, it is supposed to operate and build everywhere where can meet the requirements of distinctively or extreme environmental circumstances.


通過在游牧床上的睡覺和生活等行為,人們與外界隔離,失去了季節轉變或生活轉型期的時間感。這種生活方式可能成為同居和社區營造的新概念和替代方案。

但是,為什麼選擇雷克雅未克為設計的基地?在冬季,冰島處於一個季節上或是居住上的過度時期,日照時間很短、氣溫極低等等的情況都會造成一種獨特的環境狀況,卻給人們帶來生活上的困難。在極端且嚴峻的天氣條件下,此提案提出一個過渡和隔離空間來度過冬天的150天。

然而,由於其氣候和地熱條件,雷克雅未克可能只是這個實驗建築“500人的遊牧生活”的實驗基地之一。假使可以在雷克雅未克落實這項概念及提案,它可能可以運作和建造在任何特殊或極端環境條件之下。

Detail drawing of Steel and PVC Pipe 鋼管、PVC管的結構細部





The whole bed is made of various steel and PVC pipes, which are the fundamental elements of the tissue system according to previous researches and experiments of mine. Those steel pipes not only support structure and but also provide geothermal water going through the whole spaces, and because of the coated steel pipe, it also can generate illumination from the heat. If space is closer to the inner centre surface, it will assemble a higher density of PVC pipes, and moreover, the pattern differentiates the outer to inner space. 

Therefore, the higher density is consisted of a huge amount of the PVC pipes that allows people to walk, sleep and sit on it, and creates a relatively smooth surface. From this, as opposed to distinct contrasts, this tectonic contains very gradients of loose to dense tissue elements, highly ornate structurally performance and materially tectonic dissolve the notion of parts and whole. 


根據幃格先前的研究和實驗,整個“床”由多種鋼管和PVC管製成,這是也是組織系統以及其設計結構的基本要素。這些鋼管不僅主要結構,而且還提供穿過整個床空間的地熱系統,並且由於塗覆特殊鍍膜的鋼管,它可以根據熱量產生照明,更靠近內中心表面的空間,PVC管的密度將會相對較高,而密度的分佈分區別了外部與內部空間的差異。

高密度的PVC管組織了相對光滑的表面成為人們可以走路,睡覺和居住的場所。此結構設計傳達從疏與密的對比到空間單一到集體的佈局,高度的結構表現和材質的構築打破的傳統對於空間的設定,不再有單一房間或是隔間的設定而是討論“整體空間”的概念(Openness as a Room)
