TOPOS DESIGN成立于2015年,第一年即是破旧立新。

我们的第一个实践项目是汉中路地铁站“地下魔法森林”公共艺术装置,而我们的创始团队几乎都是建筑师,与明日大师艺术平台的跨界合作开拓了我们的设计边界。在第一个五年的实践中,我们不再拘泥于设计的尺度或类型。我们开始关心生活的具体,而非概念的虚构。我们不再执着于过度的设计,而尝试以更优雅和恰当的设计参与到城市空间的改造中。

这是一个自由和平等的时代,不同的人群有权拥有属于自己的生活方式。这同时是一个商业艺术化,艺术商业化的时代。我们要以积极的姿态参与到城市空间的新陈代谢中,我们要满怀热情的去拥抱城市空间的崭新物种。高楼大厦的间隙,乡野村庄的天地,是年轻建筑师的机会和挑战。如何优雅的介入城市肌理,努力成为城市的集体记忆,将是我们要花再一个五年去研究和实践的课题。

我们相信,现实世界只有一个,而设计能提供无穷的想象力。


TOPOS DESIGN was established in 2015 with the renewal in the first year.

Our first practical project was a public art installation named "Underground Magic Forest" at Hanzhong Road Subway Station. Despite our founding team almost consisted of architects, the cross-border cooperation with ToMASTER Art Platform opened up the boundaries of our design. In the first five years of practice, we no longer confined ourselves to the scale or type of design. Instead, we began to care more about the concreteness of life, not the fiction of concepts. We were no longer obsessed with excessive design, but try to participate in the transformation of urban space with more elegant and appropriate design.

In this free and equal era, any different groups are entitled to have their own lifestyle. Moreover, this is also an era of commercial art and art commercialization. We must actively participate in the metabolism and accept new species of urban space. There are opportunities and challenges between skyscrapers and villages for young architects. How to gracefully intervene in the urban fabric and become one of the city collective memories will be the next topic that we will spend another five years to study and practice.

We believe that there is only one reality world, and design can provide endless imagination.
