2012年因为原来所在的厂房拆除,TAO把工作室搬进了北京旧城小绒线胡同里的一座小四合院。开始原本觉得用起来有点局促的空间,后来却因小院有着天空、枣树、阳光、微风,以及能接地气、能上房顶而带来更加轻松和亲切的工作氛围,为我们释放出更多内心的空间。院子本身并不太老,但房子的细节处处都透着古意,花窗、牌匾、雀替、彩画、青砖墙上的青苔,这些东西让时间变慢,提醒我们不要工作得太快了。而老房子里浓烈的色彩和丰富的细节也在述说一个事实:建筑不是抽象的,正是这些对细节、色彩、氛围的感受和记忆才构成了有生命的建筑。
四合院是典型的内向空间,外部边界确定。我们戏说这样可以用物理边界来限制事务所的盲目扩张。而安静的小院也有助于我们更多地内省。在这样一个很容易被外部喧嚣所干扰的时代,指向内心的观照尤其重要。此外,四合院小巧的尺度使大家可以近距离地交流,而分散的格局又提供了一些可以独立工作和思考的角落。唯一的问题是模型越做越多,会没地方放,那时或许只有掘地三尺了。
In 2012 TAO moved to a small courtyard house in Hutong area of Beijing due to the demolition of factory when previous office was located. The physical space in courtyard is little tight for the office, however the courtyard offers sky, tree, sunlight, breeze, ground and roof to us and creates a pleasant and warm atmosphere for a working environment. Thus setting free more space in mind. The house is not so old, but its details give an ancient feeling—window frames, inscribed board, Queti, color painting, and moss on brick wall. These things make the time slower, reminding us slow down the working pace. The vivid color and rich details in courtyard house also tells the fact: architecture is not abstract. It is exactly the sensation and memory to these details, colors, and atmosphere make the real architecture alive.
Courtyard house is a typical introversive space with its boundary defined. We say that by living here physical boundary will help us not to expand blindly. Well the quiet courtyard can help us to introspect more. In a time while one is always distracted by outside noise, the introspection to heart is even more important. The intimate scale of courtyard shortens the distance and makes the communication among teams closer. Its dispersive layout makes the corners for independent working possible. The only problem of courtyard house is lack of storage space. When more and more models produced in studio, we may need to dig into ground.
