Precedents
from Compressed Space
by SCI-Arc
Personal living space is divided to the point of barely making a living.
Large cities are often accompanied by high population density and uneven distribution of social assets
Urban expansion is also an invasion of non-urban space. The social, economic and cultural changes brought about by this series of urbanization are spatial changes on a larger scale.
Provocation Workshop
Beauty is subjective feeling; it is the desire for truth; the existence that provokes human feelings regardless of all obstacles; an absolute fairness and justice that beyond substance.
Reading is the best and most efficient way to learn history. Turning other people's history into one of your own.
Strangers are independent beings in this world that have not yet crossed your path, full of unknowns and caution.
Paradise is utopia. It is the perfect place that does not exist. Perhaps it is also the place where everyone wants to be.
It is a bottom-up, spontaneously formed space. It is a space that is excluded by the mainstream and has the ability to discipline itself. Each participant in the space is a formulator of the space, changing and expanding it. It is the eliminator in the hierarchy of space, the result of capital taming space, and the last place where capital goes. The struggle for ownership of space returns to the caution with which it began in the face of strangers. The subsequent manifestation of class will enable the division of these spaces.
Beauty, however, is vividly revealed in these spaces. Human intelligence, the desire for fairness and self-restraint can make space vibrant and lively. But when the balance is broken, it requires a larger scale of regulation to sustain this vitality. Spaces like this are not intended for anyone. It is a product of its time. Its foreseeable conflict is that in the near future it will once again become a profit-making field for capital, until the next set of spaces is born.
