邀请人们走入其中的城市喷泉。
The concept of this project is a city fountain, that invites all people to get into it. The shower fountain has drying and changing functions. The fountain’s top floor ramp is made of glass. This way the sunshine can go through water and reach the underground ramp, and there also provide hot air to make underground space a little bit hot, so people can lay on the underground ramp to dry their bodies. People can interact with the people who are taking showers above them. People also can change clothes in the basement rooms.
For Chicago Chinatown Centennial Exhibition
I will explain this work in the future
这是我第一个学期在芝加哥艺术学院工作室所做的作品, 关注于芝加哥湖边的更衣室的解决方案。因为我去密西根湖游泳时，在湖边找不到一个可以换衣服的地方，做这方面的设计的出发点在于解决一个生活中的实际问题。 基于由谁管理这个项目考虑，我将这个项目划分为四个方向，第一个方向是产品设计，由个人所有；第二个方向是有湖边救生员管理的帐篷设计； 第三个方向是个人经营的商业项目； 第四个方向是属于政府公共艺术项目的一部分。
在研究第三个方向的时候，我将人们可能在建筑中的行为罗列了一个表，我对并试图将其中一些行为归类，比如说洗澡和更衣属于私密行为，酒吧社交属于公共行为，但是由此引出了我的一个疑问： 私密行为可不可以在一个场合中变为社交行为？比如，男女洗澡可不可以变为社交行为？不同的文化如何面对这种行为？比如，日本可以接受男女裸体共浴。 重点在于这是设计的思考还是艺术的思考？ 我们知道正常情况下来说设计是基于解决问题的，可是如果从这个角度的来思考的话，我们的设计可能对人们固有的价值观形成挑战，有可能制造社会问题。
这种思考长期以来是存在的，比如： Arakawa and Gin 设计的养老院。 他们把地面设计成了月球表面状态。设计师难道要抛弃建筑的舒适状态，让老人们摔倒吗？ Arakawa解释道， 这样的地面可以帮助老人们克服衰老，让他们找到儿童时候攀爬的感觉。
Peter Eisenman 在 AD Classics: House VI 项目中，在客户的卧室中间设计了一条裂缝，来影响夫妻间的婚姻生活。 他的思考就像电影《闪灵》中经典台词： Women, can't live with them, can't live witout them
这是建筑师们的思考，他们的哲学范畴中思考良多，在实际中他们要用一个“好”的目标性概念来说服客户们。
但是对于恨透建筑师的妥协性方案的Gordon Matta会做什么呢？
他从“art”的方向来思考建筑， 创造了著名的cut building projects.
他用暴力的手段延展外部环境， 来挑战何种状态更易于人们的感知。
Olafur Eliasson 的楼梯干脆哪里也去不了。
我们可以发现一个特点，从艺术角度来思考建筑中人们行为的哲学问题，往往有颓废主义和暴力的色彩。从建筑的设计角度来思考人们的行为哲学最终的要有非常积极地因素。 我在这里又有一个疑问，界限在哪里？谁能确定积极或者消极？
Peter Eisenman 的目的就不是非常明确，所以他写了篇著名的文章：Clients' responses.
我的实践想说的是，也许我只是把人们行为的哲学思考，用可靠的设计手段把它带到公共场合来。它只是与人们物质文明并行存在的一种哲学思考。 并且我认为，在视觉泛滥的时代，让人们参与的行为可以更好地与人们的思考展开对话。
因此，我在对芝加哥湖边更衣室的研究中试图将冲洗变成社交活动，并且疑问人们能不能在圆形的轨道中不停的移动来完成所有的功能。
在公共艺术方向中，我更是试图将城市喷泉的概念和人们洗澡的概念融为一体。人们被邀请进入到喷泉中“洗澡”，并提供“晾干”你身体和“更衣”的场所。就是用功能来试验人们行为，测验人们的惊讶、理解和思考。
我在这里保持一个中立态度。 也许试验品可以在博物里进行，可以稍微激进，测试人们的反应和接受力。
就像
Carsten Holler 的Test Site项目的那个过程。
从博物馆的测试场到公共场所。
我非常喜欢我得“喷泉洗浴场”的概念，这涉及到了我的核心思考。
目前我只是做了个实物模型（在最下面那张图），寒假期间我要做更多的研究，以及渲染工作来完善这个项目。
This semester, what I have been working on a project about changing room at Chicago beach , because I can’t find a place to change clothes when I went swimming. With a intent to solve a real problem in life, I began to research and learn. From the point of view of someone who takes care and manages the changing facility, I divided this project into four different directions to study
Firstly, I thought of a portable tent which belongs to one person, it’s a kind of object design, but I didn’t build out this part of the project.
The second direction assumes that the project is funded by the government and beach lifeguards manage it. The form of the tent should look innovative and creative and it’s also easy to be packed and unfolded.
I studied this part in two different ways. One way is to study structure and skin; I was interested in practicing the relationship between connection and structure. The tent is based on a hexagon, combined by 55 pieces which were cut by a CNC machine. The difficulty is with the horizontal connections since the CNC machine can’t handle 3 dimensions on both sides, so I used a network frame to avoid the CNC printing difficulty. The result is not absolutely successful. The two different kinds of connection systems do not look pretty, and the horizontal network connections don’t work very well, while the vertical connections do work well. However all the horizontal network connections are not a waste, the basement and the roof connections work very well, and that’s an important reason that this structure can stand up. Its skin should be attached inside the structure, and use a zipper as the tent’s door.
The other way is just to study skin or plane. It depends on the material thickness and hardness. This part of the work is based on origami, and I also use different thickness paper to experiment with person proportion pieces. One of the difficulties is to find appropriate paper boards, and connect them in the right way. The softest paper boards which school provided are totally free and big enough to fold them directly, but it’s too big to cut by machine so I found there are many errors after cutting and gluing them together. Then I decide to use CNC to print any pieces individually and connect the valley line inside, and the mountain line outside. Connecting hard paper worked very well, but I worried about it being too heavy and expensive. So I use the middle thickness paper to find a balance.
The third direction assumes that some businessmen manage it. It will take some money to check in and provide more functions. I began with a list of the activities that could happen in this building, and then I classify them into social activities or private activities in order to divide the space reasonably. Meanwhile I found it interesting to consider whether taking a shower can become a kind of social activity (Normally, we take shower privately). This raised a series of questions were brought up. Can society accept men and women changing their clothes and taking shower in the same public space? As in a carwash, can people keep moving and finish all the required activities without stopping. I chose circle forms because I found some religious activities around a temple and some celebratory activities occurred around a campfire, people hand in hand a circle dancing and singing. I haven’t figured out the appropriate location yet. It’s just a concept right now. I should further perfect it in the future.
The forth direction assumes it’s a governmental public art work and it also has a function. I combined the “big shower” concept with a city fountain. It’s my hope that public art‘s developing direction in the future that it can increase public interaction through function and people’s movement through a space. My work is a public fountain in a downtown plaza, but it’s also a communal shower space. Water will jet out from the first level’s circular perimeter, meet in the center and fall forming a water roof. The top floor ramp is made of glass. Sunshine can go through water and reach the first floor ramp, but since sunshine can make the underground space a little bit hot, people can lay on the underground ramp to dry their bodies. They can also interact with the people who are taking showers above them. It’s for city strangers, city workers, homeless, it’s for everybody. It will invite everyone to engage in a civic public art experience.
Actually this semester study has broadened my thinking ways of designing; I have been enlightened by the progress of studying. Traditional, we consider a designer is a trouble solver, but an artist is a trouble maker.
How, designers gradually realize them can’t really solve the problems. When you solve this problem, the other problems maybe come out such as human’s emotion and environment problems. Then designers started to consider “emotion design”, they consider people’s feeling; they think people may think city is too boring, because everywhere is same, so designer adds some artistic elements to design work, as the result is many new building is tending to sculpture. I think designers prefer to pursuit visual spectacle, however they ignoring the perception of people.
Do you know what make me feel I really come to Chicago? Before come here, I have searched a lot of images about Chicago through Google; the deepest expression_r about Chicago is that cloud gate. After being here, I go to Millennium Park to take a photo in front of the cloud gate, and then I put that picture into my personal blog to show that I’m in Chicago. After some time, when I have real involved into Chicago life, I saw that picture again, and then I start to think what’s different between this picture and some pictures I saw in China through internet. With this question, I start to realize the difference is the experience. The experiences related to Cloud Gate is I really go through it, the difference my feeling is different with other visitors’.
Based on this point, I prefer to emphasize the experience people could have in my space. Of course, the visional part of design is still important; I just want to say the experience design is also important.
From the point of view of designing art, I think it’s not enough to move people only through striking visual aspects, especially in a period of visual overload. The future of design should create spatial experiences that engage all the senses.
这学期刚结束，目睹了芝加哥艺术学院工作室种种疯狂行径。 很多学设计的同学不喜欢芝加哥艺术学院过于艺术的学习环境。对我来说还好，因为我很想成为一位"艺术家"，我在这种环境中确实受到了从不同角度的实践来进行艺术思考的启发. 但这是我的一个艺术工作的梦想，我需要在我设计的职业发展与艺术理想中找到一个平衡点。在芝加哥艺术学院的这段时间很珍贵，我既需要为以后工作做自己的作品集准备，另一方面我也需要为我的理想积累基础。
I just finished this semester, I have witnessed the crazy behaviors of SAIC studios. Many designed program students don't like the atmosphere which is too "artistic" in SAIC. For me, it's fine, since I very want to become an "artist", I'm really inspired by various artistic fields. However, it's just my dream, I need to figure out a balance between the professional career of design and my dream. The 2 years studying career in SAIC is very precious, one side I have to prepare for my designing portfolio, on the other side I also want to built a necessary basis for my dream.
