Since the moment a building is occupied, a tension persists between the programmatic implication of the buildings’ physical form and the spatial request from the activities of the inhabitants of the building reality. Architectural adaptation and renovation tend to focus on architecture’s response to programmatic changes. Meanwhile, the same subjects inhabit architecture would experience it differently because of the factor of time.

当一座建筑被使用的瞬间，建筑的形态与建筑使用者的空间需求之间的对峙就持续存在着。建筑的使用以及更新倾向于专注在当空间布局变化时建筑是如何被影响的。同时，同一个使用建筑空间的主体会产生不同的体验随着时间的推移。

BACKGROUND

任务背景

This is especially apparent in housing: as the residents in the building inevitably age, how they see, what they hear and how they move around change. Absent of obvious programmatic change, these latest changes in the inhabitants’ spatial needs remain unnoticed and unaddressed.

How does the efficient linear array of units in Danchi that once provided the residents’ privacy cope with the elderly’s need for connectivity? Do the intricate layers of privacy in Lion that once protected the private world from the chaos in the city help or harm the elderly’s communal life?

这种现象在住宅中尤其显著：因为随着居住在其中的人的年龄的增长，他们的视觉、听力以及行动都在不断变化。因为空间布局变化的隐蔽性，居民的潜在的空间需求变化仍未得到注意和解决。

Danchi高效的线性排布居住单位如何提供居民的隐私需求的同时以应对老年人与社会接轨的需求？城市中拥有错综复杂私密性的里弄空间是保护了还是破坏了老年人社区的共存？

TASKS

课题任务

This studio will design strategic insertions into the existing housing typologies with an increasing elderly population. Case studies include the vernacular alleyway communities (Lilong) in Shanghai, public housing communities in Tokyo(Danchi).

The design can be an addition to the existing housing, a new building, or public space within the housing community.

该studio将在老年人口不断增加的背景下在现存的住宅类型中设计战略性的插入物。案例研究包括上海的本土小巷社区（里弄），东京的公共住房社区（団地）。该设计可以是现有住房的附属建筑，新建筑或社区里的公共空间。
