After practicing “Urban Alchemy” behind closed doors for twenty to thirty years, conceptually, we have collected chaotic and illegal constructs that dominate our skylines in one place. Imagine using a large magnet to collect all the perforated sheet metals, C-channels, retaining rods, metal cages and pigeon houses. Then we melted and casted the materials into 9 cm by 9 cm box-columns and 6 mm metal panels. Finally, we assemble the new materials to create a formal construct while retaining the light and chaotic essence of these illegal constructs. It is a step towards formalizing the informal vernacular sprawl. A seed of revolution.
花了近二十至三十年躲起來偷偷練就「都市煉金術」,概念上我們收集了所有淪陷於無政府主義下,佈滿天際線的違章構造。想像用一塊巨大的吸鐵把這些輕結構全部收集起來,鐵皮、C型鋼、圓棒、鐵籠、鴿舍,再將其溶解並鑄造成9乘9公分的方柱與6t厚的鋼板,最後我們以保留這些違章構造輕與亂之本質為主軸,把這些回收材料重新組構成一棟正式的構造物。這是將蔓延於都市的非正式違章物正式化的一小步,亦是革命的種子!
