转接头丨中国深圳丨梓集fabersociety

装置以趣味性的形式与严谨的尺度逻辑，重构了猫与人共用的连接体与共享物。在寻求统一的共享界面与简化生活设施原型的过程中，传递出一种可持续的设计关怀。

The installation reimagines shared connections and objects for cats and humans through playful forms and rigorous scalar logic. By exploring a unified interface and a simplified prototype for domestic facilities, it advocates for a more sustainable and inclusive design ethos.

01. 装置概念

Installation Concept

在第九届深港城市建筑双城双年展（UABB）主展场——粤海城·金啤坊，特别板块由“万籁之迹”、“图书策展”、“寰宇制服”、“循环共创”、“流浪动物之家”及“美术馆联动计划”六个单元组成。作为“流浪动物之家”单元的参展作品，设计以猫的视角为起点，衍生出第一批“转接头”。猫作为亲密而神秘的家庭成员，其生活尺度与人的起居家具往往存在两套独立的逻辑。装置通过对人与猫日常用具的双向尺度研究，寻求一种共享的界面和简化的室内生活设施原型。

At the 9th Bi-City Biennale of UrbanismArchitecture (UABB) main venue, GDH City · Kingway Brewery, the Special Section comprises six distinctive units: Footprints of All Sounds, Book Curating, Cosmo Uniforms, Circular Co-creation, Stray Animal Home, and Museum Linkage Plan.

Presented within the “Stray Animal Home” unit, “The Adapter Units” reinterprets domesticity from a feline perspective. As intimate yet mysterious family members, cats operate on a scale and spatial language often distinct from human furniture. By researching the dual-scalar requirements of both species, the installation seeks a unified interface and a simplified prototype for domestic facilities.

02. 陪伴者与共享者

Companion & Co-sharer

宠物已成为当代城市人对向往生活与精神状态的一种心理投射，以亲密家庭成员的姿态满足人的陪伴需求与情绪转化。它们被动地从野外进入城市，寄居在“为人”打造的硬质空间中。在这些定型居所里，宠物们自发地寻找剩余空间停留、休憩与玩耍，与人共享城市。作为陪伴者，它们又是家中有个性的“小主子”，拥有独特的喜好和态度，不应被定义在任何固定的单一空间内。

Pets have become psychological projections of urban longings, serving as intimate family members that fulfill the need for companionship and emotional regulation. Having transitioned passively from the wild to the city, they now inhabit “human-centric” rigid spaces. Within these predefined dwellings, pets spontaneously seek out residual spaces for rest and play, co-existing with humans in the urban fabric. As companions and charismatic”protagonists”of the home, they possess distinct preferences and should not be confined to a singular, fixed space.

03. 组合“骨架”与“皮肤”

Modular Skeleton & Skin

设计从日常家居物的尺度出发，将凳、椅、桌、架简化分解为使用界面、结构支撑以及剩余的空腔。当使用者选择骨架时，设计才真正开始：使用需求决定了“骨架”的形态，而人宠之间的相处模式、喜好与环境最终导向了设计的完成。“骨架”的初始设置被最大程度简化，使其呈现网格化与标准化，具备极强的扩展性与附着性。

Starting from the scale of everyday furniture, stools, chairs, tables, and shelves are deconstructed into functional interfaces, structural supports, and residual voids. Design truly begins when the user selects a skeleton: functional needs dictate form, while the co-living dynamics, preferences, and environment lead to the final outcome. The initial settings of the “Skeleton” are minimized, rendering it modular and standardized for maximum extensibility and adaptability.

04. 共同参与的“制作游戏”

A Collaborative “Crafting Game”

现代宠物家居多为工业文明下的“完成品”，单一的材质与机械的语言使其难以获得持续性的喜爱，容易成为人居空间中的剩余物。通过提取基础“骨架”，利用灵活的构件与使用者的主动添加，物品被转化为人宠共享的媒介。“骨架”是预设的游戏规则，引导参与者在规则内搭建功能体块；而附着的“皮肤”——无论是硬纸板、旧衣服，还是麻绳与毛线——则完全由人与宠决定。这种“半成品”通过构件重组与附着物的不断代谢，获得了在家中持续生长、主动变化的可能。

▼组装方法，Assembly Logic©梓集fabersociety

Contemporary pet furniture often arrives as “finished products” of industrialization, whose monotonous materials and mechanical language frequently become “leftovers” in limited living environments. By extracting a basic “Skeleton” and utilizing flexible components, objects are transformed into shared artifacts through active user participation. This skeleton acts as a set of predefined game rules, guiding participants to build functional volumes, while the “Skin”—be it cardboard, old clothes, hemp rope, or yarn—is left to the creative discretion of both humans and pets. As a “semi-finished” entity, the unit gains the potential for metabolic growth and continuous adaptation within the home.

05. 生长的更多可能

Potential for Growth

骨架的标准化与材料的多样性，也拓展了“转接头”在公共空间延伸的潜力。在紧张的城市空间中，社区灰空间是人们公共活动的聚集之所，然而人群散去后，这些空间也是流浪动物的驻足地。通过模数和材料的扩展，生长成城市尺度的社区家具。

The standardization of the skeleton and the diversity of materials expand the potential of “The Adapter Units” into the public realm. In dense urban fabrics, community “grey spaces” serve as hubs for human activity; however, once the crowds disperse, these areas become sanctuaries for stray animals. Through modular concatenation and stacking, the units can evolve into public infrastructure such as benches, shelving, or long tables, providing diverse and engaging interfaces for animals within the public sphere.

06. 展览现场

On-Site

“转接头”不仅是一组模块化家具，更是一次关于可持续设计态度的实验。通过对尺度逻辑的重构，试图模糊“人”与“动物”空间的边界，在城市硬质化的外壳下，为不同物种寻求一种共生界面。这种关怀从私人住宅延伸至社区街隅，让设计成为连接不同生命状态的真正“转接头”。

“The Adapter Units” is more than a set of modular furniture; it is an experiment in sustainable design. By reconstructing scalar logic, we aim to blur the boundaries between “human” and “animal” spaces, seeking a symbiotic interface for different species beneath the rigid shell of the city. This care extends from private residences to community corners, allowing design to function as a true “adapter” connecting diverse forms of life.
