城市弔詭—建築對於疑懼的重述

從冷戰時期的落塵避難所和9-

11恐怖襲擊•建築和疑懼心理有

著循環的週期關系：建築上的反覆

創建和破壞可引發猜疑和畏懼，反

之亦然。本項目的所在地是美國底

特律的一列廢棄了60年的舊工廠

羣，利用當中的焦慮和利益衝突

作為試驗建築的潛在性，反映利益

相關者中疑懼的張力，通過建築創

建和破壞，可導致疑懼的產生以及

演變。舊建築再不只是危險和有礙

觀瞻的廢墟，本設計嘗試重新思考

甚至彰顯破壞的過程，視之為創建

的開端，這樣疑懼的根源被轉化成

創造性和隱含性。

From the study of the Cold War Fallout shelters and

terrorist attack at 9-11, there is a cyclical relationship

between architecture and paranoia; the architectural

iteration on construction and destruction could create

paranoia, and also applicable vice versa.

The site for the project is the largest abandoned factory

at Detroit of the US. It has certain anxiety, conflict of

interest which provides a testing ground to explore the

potential of architecture, through construction and

demolition, in response to the existing paranoia tension

between stakeholders and even lead to certain impact on

the creation of paranoia. Instead of thinking the Packard

Plant as a sick, dangerous and unsightly decaying mega

structures, my project tries to rethink and celebrate the

destruction process as inverted construction, so its

paranoiac nature is converted to be creative and

inclusive.

As there is always coexistence between architecture and

paranoia, the architecture is not only about relieving or

solving the paranoia, To bear in mind that architecture

can create paranoia and the paranoia can lead to

architecture again, the potential would be even more

provocative.
