大都市小叙事 Small stories from the big city

上海北外滩街道塘汉居委委托wutopia lab在毗邻北外滩的南浔路207号打造一个名为“学霸妈妈”的志愿者之家。“学霸妈妈”是居民区自治家园建设中的一个社区微更新项目。政府实施微空间更新的目的是改善居民生活品质，唤起居民对社区的热爱，以公众参与的形式培育群众对社区的归属感，并形成对其他居民区的示范效应，从而带动整个街道区域的品质提升。

The council of Shanghai North Bund Tanghan Street commissioned Wutopia Lab to construct a common space for the “tiger mums” of the local district.

这项目的建筑面积35平方，本来是一个上海居家养老网点，经营管理不善而几乎空置。由于隔着一条马路就是北虹高级中学，就有很多家长在课余喜欢借用这里交流心得，由此产生了“学霸妈妈”志愿者团队，帮来不及接孩子下课的家长暂管孩子，顺便帮孩子补补课。塘汉居委觉得可以把网点改建成一个居民共享的议事空间。志愿者家长们组织亲子互动、茶点手工、小课堂，还有可以摆放手工的展示橱窗。为居民区和学校的联建互动提供一个好据点。

The total area of this project only adds up to 35m2. Formerly a shopfront for at-home aged-care facilities online shop, the space was mostly empty due to poor management. As this building is located right opposite of Beihong Senior Highschool, many parents tend to gather and use this space to converse with each other, help each other pick up the kids and sneak in some casual tutoring, forming a voluntary “tiger mum” group within this small community. The Tanghan Street Council hopes to convert this shopfront into a communal meeting space that encourages the interaction of the parents and the students and introduce tea parties, workshops, and arts and crafts displays, revitalizing this poorly used space to provide a great converging space between the local community and the school.

设计可以改变一些东西 Change by Design

塘汉居委是个人口密集的老区，迄今还有许多住户使用马桶。我希望这个微小的项目能够传递一个信号。立面的动作要简单清楚。面对历经杂乱搭建但历史悠久的街区立面，我五秒钟就做了决定，用一个圆拱去控制整个立面，成为杂乱立面和街角的下句，最简单也是最有效。

The Alteration to the Façade is Clear and Simple. When facing the challenge to design along a messily constructed yet historically rich suburban streetscape, I made my decision in five seconds. By using an arch that dictates the whole façade, the façade becomes a contrasting next chapter to the existing disordered streetscape. It is the most simple and effective.

内部空间要看上去有些复杂。不规整的室内则分成3部分，边角空间是储藏和茶水。我继续用圆拱在室内形成视觉连续，和立面的圆拱重叠成层层叠叠的视觉效果，虽然小，但一眼看不透。

The Slightly More Complex Interior. The irregular site is separated into 3 areas, where the small spaces at the corners are used for storage and a kitchenette. The language of the arch is continued inside, and along with the arch of the exterior façade, a layered visual effect is generated such that even though the area is small, the space seems deep.

这个房子应该实现文脉上的超链接。如果地面有积水，结合倒影，这个圆拱会变成一个完整的圆，在视觉上可以和上海东方明珠形成呼应，仿佛这个旧区就不再孤独地被忽视了。这样这个微小的空间更新，就实现了在视觉空间上最大的借力打力。我说的这个信号就是任何存在于上海的历史遗产，无论现状有多让人焦虑，但设计可以在最细微的地方，顺应用户的需求，去创建一个意外的惊喜，一个负面的微空间最后成为积极的示范。

Contextual Super Connection. After the rain, the arch is reflected in the puddles on the ground. This is when the arch becomes a complete circle, resonating visually with the Oriental Pearl Tower, as if this neglected old district has become part of the modern Shanghai once again. Its visual effect has achieved its maximum potential, despite having such limited space.

新月映旧城 New moon shines the old town

摄影师抓住了冬雨的瞬间，让我们看到一轮圆月照耀着旧区，人们惊喜地簇拥在“学霸妈妈”前面，分明有了久违的自豪。给与旧区的居民，便利和舒适无疑是重要的，但尊严更是重要，因为这里有活的灵魂，一直在认真地倾听这城市的声音。

The photographer captured the building moments after a winter shower and the building, like a full moon, shines upon this old district. Locals gather in front of it, perhaps somewhat proud and hopeful. Convenience and comfort are both essential, but dignity shouldn’t be ignored, because dignity holds the essential human qualities and the spirit that listens to voice of the city.
