Section 5: 作品集

与许多其他地区相似，费城正遭受严重的心理健康问题困扰。位于Spring Garden街的Callowhill区域，集结了艺术氛围与废弃工业用地，项目“丘陵”（Hilling）旨在为这里注入一片因地制宜的自然景观，以带来身心的放松与慰藉。该项目通过3D打印技术构建了一个人工自然空间，结合生态艺术疗法，专门用于心理康复项目。

生态艺术疗法是一种创新的心理健康疗愈方式，鼓励人们在观察和体验自然的过程中，通过艺术创作找到治愈的力量。项目引入了机器学习技术，包括AI图像识别和Style GAN生成等手段，打造出一种全新形式的自然空间，为周边社区居民提供一个减压与康复的心灵港湾。

Like many other places, Philadelphia is suffering from severe mental illness strikes. Callowhill (Spring Garden St, Philadelphia), a place of art and abandoned industrial land, is experimented with a tailored infill nature for physical breath and mental relief. The project “Hilling” is born as a 3d printed artificial nature serving for mental healing programs via Eco-art therapy.

Eco-art therapy is a pioneer method facilitating mental wellness through the creation of artwork via the observation and enjoyment of nature. With the support of machine learning such as AI perceptions and style GAN generations, the project is constructed as a new form of natural destination for the neighborhood to alleviate and treat mental illness.

这些形态与周围的自然景观相结合，将这片废弃的土地转化为一个新的多元空间，包括艺术工作坊、画廊和教室等功能场所。项目在自然与建筑之间的模糊定位，使其独具特色。作为自然，它是可探索、可征服的；而作为建筑，空间则为访客呈现出神秘的自然景观，让他们在其中静思、放松，获得身心的疗愈。

The forms obtained have been twinned with landscape features that transform the abandoned land into a new constellation of programs including art-workshops, galleries, and classrooms. The ambiguous position between nature and architecture makes it unique. As nature, it is occupiable and conquerable, while as an architecture, inhabitable spaces unfold the mysterious natural features for visitors to meditate and relieve themselves.

费城的Fairmount公园拥有超过2000英亩的起伏丘陵、宁静的步道、迷人的水岸和葱郁的林地，展现出丰富多样的自然景观。与其将景观视为静态的“事物本身”，更应将其视为一种动态的过程，反映出在这一物理环境中持续存在的关系。我们的目标是让公园被视为一个“为我们而存在的事物”。

本项目的灵感最初来源于韩国传统浴室，传统浴室通常设有一个中央聚集空间，周围环绕着多个功能各异的小房间。

With over 2,000 acres of rolling hills, gentle trails, serene waterfronts, and shaded woodlands, Fairmount Park encompasses a rich diversity of natural landscapes in its East and West sections. Rather than viewing the landscape as a static "thing-in-itself," it is essential to recognize it as a dynamic process characterized by ongoing relationships within the physical environment. The goal is for the park to be perceived as a "thing-for-us."

The project is initially inspired by the Korean traditional bathhouse, which typically features a central gathering space surrounded by multiple smaller rooms, each serving different functions.

将中央聚集空间的理念融入传统设计思维，自然场地成为最外层，紧邻建筑，而浴室则是最内层。设想使用一把隐喻的剪刀，将自然、建筑与浴室的元素进行切分与展开。通过这种方式，原有的中庭被重新构想为一种新景观，而原本的景观则转变为一个新的建筑中庭。意在保留中央墙上的折痕特征，这正是折叠过程的结果。

By incorporating the concept of a central gathering space into traditional design thinking, the natural site serves as the outermost layer, immediately adjacent to the building, while the innermost layer consists of the bath. The vision is to use a metaphorical pair of scissors to delineate and unfold the elements of nature, the building, and the bath. This approach allows for a reimagining of the original atrium as a new landscape and the original landscape as a new building atrium. The intention is to preserve the characteristic creases on the central wall, which result from this folding process.
