“聚·隔”是一个展亭，它提供了在保持社交距离的时代为公众设计用于聚集的空间这样看似矛盾的要求下的一种对新形式的探索。

Together Apart is a pavilion that explores the contradictions of a public space designed for gatherings in a time of social distancing.

展亭设计回应了2020苏州国际设计周的理念——“新日常”:  探索后疫情时代的社会互动和文化交流。在封城一度使得每个人的社交方式都沦为虚拟的在线交流之后，中国终于从新冠大流行中恢复过来，人们也重新涌上街头。然而，保持社交距离仍是不会过时的潜在条件，正迫使人们通过不同的视角去体验城市空间。

The design responds to a call from 2020 Suzhou International Design Week to explore the “New Norm”: emerging post-epidemic forms of social interaction and cultural exchanges. After the lockdowns had reduced everyone’s social life to virtual online encounters, China is finally recovering from the pandemic and people are going back to filling the streets. Social distancing, though, is still an ever-present underlying layer that forces them to experience the urban space through a different lens.
