粤港澳-2019深圳花展，在深圳植物园竹园的三岔路口，一个颇似浪花的造型伫立期间，两旁排布种植了大片的花卉，高低相间，错落有致，仿佛是一片托起鲜花的海浪，引得游人纷纷驻足。上前细观，方才意识到，原来这浪花的造型，竟是由竹子编制而成！这就是建筑师谢军先生为这次花展精心创作的现代竹编公共艺术品“潮”。

Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao-2019 Shenzhen Flower Show, at the Sancha intersection of Zhuyuan, Shenzhen Botanical Garden, during the period of a wave-like shape, a large number of flowers were planted on both sides, high and low, and patchwork, as if it were a wave of flowers. , attracting visitors to stop. Looking forward, I realized that the shape of this spray was actually made of bamboo! This is the “Tide” of modern bamboo-woven public art created by the architect Mr. Xie Jun for this flower show.

《潮》，既可以指新潮，也可以想象成浪花席卷而来，勇猛而激烈地与岸边礁石拍打的画面。它代表的是一种大胆的创新与求变，在造型方面，大量地采用了极具现代感的曲线和弧线。在材料和工艺方面，我们采用了手编、麻绳捆扎、竹钉固定、放样模型等传统手法，同时也融入了3D打印、金属构件、玻璃、数控造型等新技术和新材料，让竹制品与现代技术接轨。

“Tide” can refer to new wave, or it can be imagined as waves that rushed and slammed against the reefs on the shore. It represents a bold innovation and change. In terms of styling, a lot of modern curves and arcs are used. In terms of materials and processes, we have adopted traditional techniques such as hand knitting, hemp rope binding, bamboo nail fixing, and lofting model. At the same time, we have incorporated new technologies and new materials such as 3D printing, metal components, glass, and numerical control modeling to make bamboo products. Connected with modern technology.

对于中国人，竹不只是一种材料，更多的时候，我们会植入一种人文情怀在里面。我国对竹的记载可追溯到新石器时代，我记得在仰韶文化遗存的刻画符号和殷商时期的甲骨文中就有了象形的‘竹’字。在诗经中也曾用‘瞻彼淇奥，绿竹猗猗’来称赞他人，到了唐宋时期，更是有大量的文人墨客吟咏过竹，元明清时期，更有我们都熟悉的郑板桥创作的《竹石》。可以说，竹的精神贯穿中国的历史文化，这种中空外直，不蔓不枝，刚正不阿，清廉高洁的精神是古往今来文人墨客的精神品格的象征，也是其他民族感受中国文化的一个门户，这一点在何明先生的《中国竹文化小史》中有过详细的著述。

For the Chinese, bamboo is not just a material. More often, we will implant a humanistic feeling in it. The records of bamboo in China can be traced back to the Neolithic Age. I remember that there is a pictographic ‘bamboo’ in the characterization of the Yangshao cultural relics and the oracle bones in the Yin dynasty. In the Book of Songs, I used to praise others, and in the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were a large number of scholars and literati. In the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, Zheng Banqiao, which we are all familiar with, “Bamboo Stone”. It can be said that the spirit of bamboo runs through the history and culture of China. This kind of hollowness is straight, not fragrant, and it is just right, the spirit of cleanliness and purity is the symbol of the spiritual character of the literati and the modern people, and it is also a gateway for other people to feel Chinese culture. There is a detailed writing in Mr. He Ming’s “Small History of Chinese Bamboo Culture”.

竹子在本质上是一种高效的结构材料：强度高，韧性大，并和钢铁一样具备拉张强度。分段的空腹结构，赋予其极为轻质同时又易弯成曲线轮廓的弹力特性。这些构造性能造就了竹子的材料特性。与木材相比，有着更强的弹力与柔韧性优势，且吸水膨胀率以及加热干燥收缩率都较小。

长久以来，建筑对于美观、实用、坚固三原则的追求从未停歇，但结构形式的系统性变革仍处于襁褓期。无节制地开采、滥用建筑材料带来的种种问题，人们正在自食恶果，而竹子这类生态环保的本土天然建材，优点便愈发突出：足以建造新型的整体性可持续利用的建筑结构，同时将地域文化、现代技术与实用性完美融合。

For a long time, the pursuit of the three principles of aesthetics, practicality and solidarity has never stopped, but the systematic transformation of structural forms is still in its infancy. The problems caused by uncontrolled mining and misuse of building materials, people are eating their own fruits, and the ecological and environmentally-friendly local natural building materials such as bamboo have become more and more prominent: it is enough to build a new type of holistic and sustainable building structure. At the same time, the regional culture, modern technology and practicality are perfectly integrated.

公共艺术强调的是‘社会性’和‘开放性’，它是多样介质构成的艺术性景观。人们心灵境界不断在提高，更多的人意识到破坏我们的赖以生存的家园必将付出沉痛的代价。让环境更美，让天空更蓝是我们大家的愿望。如何运用现代的设计理念，将‘竹’这种环保生态的原始材料和现代科技进行完美的结合，打造出更多符合时代审美观、经济适用的竹制当代公共艺术品，是我们长期的工作目标。

Public art emphasizes ‘sociality’ and ‘openness’, which is an artistic landscape composed of diverse media. People’s spiritual realm is constantly improving, and more people realize that it will pay a painful price to destroy the homeland on which we depend. Making the environment more beautiful and making the sky bluer is the wish of all of us. How to use modern design concepts to perfectly combine the raw materials of ‘Zhu’, which is eco-friendly and modern technology, to create more contemporary bamboo art works that are in line with the aesthetics and economy of the times. It is our long-term work aim.
