“建筑意味着把一个场地转变成具有特定性格与意义的场所。设计就是造就场所。换句话说，场所是有清晰特性的空间，人必须要能体验到环境是充满意义的。”诺伯尔·舒尔茨《场所精神-迈向建筑现象学》

"Architecture means to transferring a site to a place of distinct character and meaning. Design is to create places. In other words, a place is a space which has a distinct character. Man can experience the environment as meaningful."

—Genius Loci: Towards a Phenomenology of Architecture by Christian Norberg-Schulz

范式：小尺度与大城市

Paradigm: a small space in big city

9㎡的集屿，是这座城市里，一种新的空间范式的提炼。它并不因其小而匮乏深度，它孕育着理想、思想、生活、文化、和邻里这些要素。9㎡，针对的是城市快速发展中，稀缺的一种空间尺度，它和蓝图、速度、宏伟无关，它是一种小而轻的空间叙事，容易忽视但不可或缺。建筑师在空间现实和社会意义层面找到了介入的视角，9㎡让人和人相互靠近并获得存在的真实感。

Occupying 9 square meters, JOYS is a new space paradigm in the city. It’s small, but doesn’t lack depth, since it’s the integration of ideals, thoughts, cultures, and neighborhood. 9 square-meters is a scarce small spatial scale in the city undergoing rapid development. It has nothing to do with blueprint, speed or magnificence, but is about a small spatial narrative that is easy to be ignored but indispensable. We identified a perspective of intervention by taking into consideration both spatial reality and social significance, intending to endow the 9-square-meter space a sense of existence and enable it to bring people closer.

《癫狂的纽约》，这本给曼哈顿补写的宣言写到：宣言的致命弱点是与生俱来的证据缺失，曼哈顿的问题恰恰相反，它有堆积如山的证据，却没有宣言。集屿，在快速的大背景下，作为一种带有理想和关怀的空间载体最终落地，它为城市日渐衰退的社区氛围，做出了一定诠释和补充。

In Delirious New York, a retroactive manifesto for Manhattan, it reads that “The fatal weakness of manifesto is their inherent lack of evidence. Manhattan’s problem is the opposite: it is a mountain range of evidence without manifesto.”Under the backdrop of rapid urban development, JOYS, as a space that carries ideals and care, was eventually implemented as an interpretation and supplement of the community atmosphere that has been on the decline.
