大型户外多功能互动艺术装置，北京／北京城建发展集团

本案是由王宽为751国际设计节（北京国际设计周）创作的大型户外多功能互动艺术装置：

其一为城市模型，以纽约曼哈顿的纯方格城市规划和北京CBD的宏伟格局为基本结构，合二为一。赞赏人类追求梦想永攀高峰的乐观精神。

Recent Chinese urban development is booming in every large city, making each of them a new metropolis surpassing Hong Kong or New York. However, in this wave of urban construction, we can still find a dream within each passerby, even hidden at the depth of his soul. Every city has that similar skyline, almost identical, but so different at the same time. You arrive at this city like a glorious god, to find this new place so charming and amiable. Then you know that you are one with the city, you all come from earth, you are all earth, red like justice. Just as those red bricks, they come from the countryside, but one by one they built the building up to the sky. You see that circular structure? Just like us, always carried by the natural wheel of reincarnation. Everything you see orthogonal is made by us, the architecture that we design. Come, my glorious god! Let’s talk about Earth, about earth and life, and how they are one.

This project is designed by Kuan Wang for the 751 Int’l Design Festival during the 2015 Beijing Design Week. It is a large-scale outdoor interactional installation that combine art and architecture placed inside the 751 D-Park in Chaoyang district in Beijing.

First of all, it is a micro city. Based on the Manhattan-like strict orthogonal city plan, it combines the grid with the new Beijing CBD’s grandiose planning ideology, praise the willing to reach higher that is common to all human-kind from New York to Beijing.

其二为景观艺术，以红砖为原材料，砌筑出高楼大厦，将一座城置入751工厂的红砖园区内，现代与历史的和谐共生，激活园区生命力，缅怀现已不再使用的共和国建材-粘土红砖。

Second, it is a landscape art. This installation used the red mud brick as the basic material, building up those miniature and simplified skyscrapers using the most traditional construction technique of modern china. By placing this micro modern city into the abandoned factory district of the 751 D-Park, it re-activate the area with this fusion of the traditional and the modern, at the same time of acting as a memorial for the “material of the Republic”, the traditional red mud brick that is no longer used anymore in the contemporary Chinese cities.

其三为互动装置，砖柱高低错落，从一层到四十七层，为坐、站、登、攀等各种行为提供了相互衔接的可能性，成为动力广场和炉区广场活动人群休息、聚会、拍照的最佳场所。

Third, unlike most “untouchable” piece of arts displayed in the district, this installation attracts interactions. The columns of brick varied in height from one to forty-seven layers, offering different possibilities for siting, standing, climbing, jumping or passing from one to another and playing around for visitors of all ages. Placed at the intersection of two main square of the Park, it becomes a privileged space for visitors to meet, rest and take photos, fanaticism of all Chinese tourists.

其四为作品展示，塔楼顶部以正方形海报的形式，展出主创建筑师王宽的设计作品，结合高低佐罗的观展姿势，同时又恰似纽约时代广场的巨幅LED广告屏。

Forth, this installation is used as an exhibition space. Every tower holds a square poster at the top, displaying some of the most important works of KUAN architects. With variations in heights and sometimes in size, these panels recall somehow the huge advertising screens of the Time Square.

其五为呼应前作，2012年原址曾展出“动”装置，当时使用的是灰色方砖，本次作品再次使用砖作为建造单元，将“砖系列”延续下去。

Finally, this installation echoes a previous project – Move, displaced on the same site during the Design Festival 2012. Move was an installation built with grey square bricks, and this time the “Micro Urban” continued to use the brick as the basic construction unit, prolonging the serial installations of the Brick Collection.
