Young architects Zhang Bo and Wang Jingjing focus on the transformation and renewal of urban architectural space, the main representative works are: Jiyu daily groceries, Yiye House, Fengcha Experience Shop, Overseas Chinese Town Yanhan Highland Architectural Transformation, Dongguan Ledexi District Creative Design Co., Ltd. Plant Building and Indoor Overall Transformation, etc., pay attention to the seemingly disorderly but organic growth of urban villages, industrial plants full of the imprint of the times and cutting-edge artistic and creative communities and emerging industrial forms born in the Internet era, through systematic design thinking and practice to respond, While constructing the process of cultural and spiritual experience, it does not stop at "construction" and "completion", and takes the continuity of space as the guide to create a more real and close place to life.
01
"Man", the fundamental existence of space
Space is a broad concept, and everyone has a unique perspective on space. The essence of space is the interaction between architecture and people, feedback to give people a physiological or psychological level of perception, not only designers, ordinary people also have a keen perception of space, the surrounding breeze, dust and light under the shade of trees, will trigger people's thinking about space.
Different spaces create different feelings, which is also the first principle for people to define the nature of space, but many spaces are in a specific context, resulting in a narrow definition of space. Space, only by integrating the "human" factor, interacting with people, will become vivid and interesting, architects shape space, users give space blood and the continuation of life, in addition, space design, urban transformation will have a relationship with people, which is a major feature of space.
There will also be conflicts between architects and users, which is a norm, and the best solution is for architects to return to the project itself, listen to the demands of users or party A, and constantly communicate and communicate, so that the relationship between space and people becomes harmonious. In this process, conflict is like a "cause", and the resolution of contradiction is a perfect "effect", and the two complement each other to promote the birth of space.
02
The involvement of large and small scale spaces
In recent years, Ichijo Architecture has been paying attention to urban public spaces and responding to them through practice. Going back to life experiences before the age of 10, this current focus seems to be related to the environment of personal growth and childhood enlightenment. In the context of that era, the city seems to be still asleep, the type of space that can be moved is single but humane, it can be a playground, a pond, a hutong and other places, like the Jiyu Life Hall Project We are carrying such thinking and investment. Contemporary urban public space is richer and grander in dimension. For firms, no matter how big or small, as long as there is room for challenges, we are willing to integrate more than rational investment, but also should invest in the consideration of people's hearts.
▼ 9㎡ daily, Jiyu life grocery community transformation
Jiyu, with which we have been concerned about the urban design, neighborhood context is related, creating such a space is a kind of respect for the user, when the entire block was about a hundred shops, people did not pay much attention to the design of the space, the whole street shop style is similar, so the birth of the Jiyu space is particularly precious and different, so that many people see Jiyu, feel that a tiny space can also be very attentive, can carry many people's expectations for a better life, this is people's personal dream, It's also the group we care about.
A multiplication architectural firm not only creates small-scale space in the city, but also extends to the direction of large-scale space, such as the transformation of Yanhan Heights in OCT, in this space, the environment, nature, and the flow of people have been balanced and adjusted, the essence of this project is not only public and social space, we have also given it commercial functions, these functions around the texture of daily life, so that the building is no longer cold, so as to intimately close the relationship between people and space, which is also our original intention of design. Yanhan Heights and the original south and north areas of OCT are in a parallel state, and the planning and balance of this large-scale space has also stimulated more imagination of architects.

Kinetic energy, promote the generation of spatial emotions
People, mood and sorrow are the externalized expression of emotions, space will also produce emotions, and different spaces will produce diverse emotions. Architects to capture and understand the mood of the space, cleverly used in the design technique, at this time the architect needs to feel tailor-made like a tailor, polishing and carving in the place, then the space will naturally derive a unique emotion, the generation of this emotion and the architect's personal enthusiasm and space kinetic energy related.
People's behavior and thoughts are sometimes dominated by emotions, when people have a certain emotion, the first thing that comes to mind is an atmosphere, a venue, a place that has been visited and left a deep memory, which is the relationship between emotions and kinetic energy, which can clearly let us see the trajectory of a person's behavior.
04
The space and everyday life of the future city
Affected by the epidemic, people have begun to think about the possibilities of future urban space, we are more inclined to practice and read the present, we think that the future types of urban space will be diverse. In some cities such as the West and Japan, the density, infrastructure and small-scale streets of these cities have given birth to a lot of living space, and the emergence of this phenomenon is supported by the unity of urban management and consumption concepts, and it is also an expectation of the firm for the future urban space.
▼ Yanhan Heights
In the future, the proportion of urban building stock upgrading will gradually become larger, Shenzhen's current community commercial upgrading potential is huge, community commerce originally referred to supermarkets or stores in the community, and now it has slowly become an organized community business model, the volume will not be too large, but it is exquisite and plump enough.
In this epidemic, video conferencing can allow us to solve problems without leaving home, which shows that intelligence and convenience will also be a trend in the future, and people will pay more attention to efficiency and feelings the more they love. Because of the progress of the information age, the amount of information is also getting larger, and we must learn to make trade-offs in it and slowly adapt to the changes in the future space of the city. Architects and non-architects are increasingly concerned with the delicate relationship between space and everyday life, which is also the direction of future urban development.

A leaf house
Yiye House, in my heart is the source of a series of stories, rather than a single work, in the construction process of the Yiye House appeared in various episodes, let me continue to develop new ideas about the use of space, space is not only a carrier of function, but also a private space that can be left alone, sometimes we also need such a space to maintain our own sense of balance, a leaf house can play the role of a study and a living room.
▼ Ichiba House
For example, during the epidemic, occasionally returning to Ichiba House can give people a buffer space, reminding me of Miyazaki Hayao, who will occasionally run to his own house on the island alone, cook beef, make rice, and sit barefoot on the ground and smoke, which is how he looks for a relaxed state, and my way of relaxing may be to return to Ichiba House.
The relationship between the Ichiba house and the city is more like an open study or living room, a place where people can meditate and relax, but also experimental, it explores how people's life and work should be balanced. The Ichiba house has no façade and does not have any external form of the building, so the people who are close to it are generally two kinds of people, the owner of the house or his friends. It relies on a weak connection between the human medium and the city, thus acting as an interrupt, and friends who have seen or experienced it can't help but share this feeling with others. This is a space that people like, and it also enriches the diversity of urban spaces.
One of the ideas of the advice is multiplied by architecture
