與社區共同建造的Cave Urban設計工作室

杰德·朗

Cave Urban 是一個由藝術家、建筑師和設計師組成的位于悉尼的跨學科工作室，他們通過創作大型公共裝置來探索藝術與建筑的交叉，重點關注社區參與、社區合作和生態設計。

Cave Urban 設計工作室的靈感來源于鄉土建筑實踐所蘊含的社會和文化儀式。他們開發了一種獨特的設計和建造方式，將建造大型、半永久的公共裝置的過程作為社區參與和知識傳播的載體。為了踐行聯合國可持續發展目標第12 項的“負責任消費和生產”的理念，Cave Urban希望通過使用本地采購的可再生和可循環材料（尤其是本地的竹材），來減少項目對生態環境的影響。該工作室并不尋求通過建筑形式來實現建筑的永久性，而是希望通過與相關人員的合作和教育賦能，將本地的社會和文化遺產融入到每個項目中。

Cave Urban 設計工作室對合作的關注體現在兩個層面：一是社區合作，通過師徒模式傳遞技能；二是技術合作，通過跨學科合作增長技術知識。澳大利亞是一個沒有竹工藝歷史的國家，因此Cave Urban 專門選擇用竹材進行建造。同時，使用竹子建造也有利于通過知識技能的交流、森林系統的保護和低碳建筑材料的使用來增強社區的韌性。

位于澳大利亞昆士蘭州伍德福德的項目就是Cave Urban 設計工作室利用竹子建造的一個試驗場。在過去的 10 年中，Cave Urban 邀請了王文志、約爾格·斯塔姆等國際專家，通過社區參與和技能共享，合作建設了多個重要項目。作為一種輕質天然材料，竹子非常適合作為入門級的教育工具讓人們接觸建造實踐，無論年齡、性別和技能高低，任何人都可以參與其中。

Cave Urban 設計工作室所創作的項目既是本地化的，也是國際性的。他們的作品直接回應本地環境，使用本地材料建造，與本地社區積極互動。他們在建造過程中與國際專家交流技術知識，并測試一些可以用于其他環境的創意。在專注于創作半永久性裝置作品的過程中，Cave Urban 認識到建筑形式并不是永久的，裝置的建造需要承擔其應有的責任：盡可能地降低作品的生態成本，并創造可以超越裝置物理壽命的社會和文化聯系。

Cave Urban is a Sydney-based multidisciplinary studio formed by artists,architects,and designers.Their practice explores the intersection of art and architecture by creating large-scale public installations,with an emphasis on community engagement,collaboration,and ecological design.

Inspired by the social and cultural ritual that is embedded within vernacular building practices,Cave Urban has developed a design and build methodology that utilises the construction of largescale semi-permanent interventions as a mechanism for community engagement and knowledge transfer.In alignment with SDG12: Responsible Consumption and Production,Cave Urban looks to limit the ecological impact of their projects through the use of locally sourced renewable and recycled materials,in particular self-harvested bamboo.Rather than seeking to create permanence through architectural form,Cave Urban looks to embed a social and cultural legacy in each project through the collaboration and educational empowerment of those involved.

Cave Urban's focus on collaboration occurs at two levels: community collaboration,sharing skills through a master/apprentice model and technical collaboration,developing technical knowledge through interdisciplinary partnerships.This is a direct response to working in Australia,a country with no history of bamboo craft and is a process that builds resilience through the exchange of knowledge and skills,as well as through the ongoing maintenance of forest systems and the use of low carbon building materials.

The Woodford site in Queensland,Australia,has served as a testing ground for this process.Over a period of 10 years,Cave Urban has invited international experts such as Wang Wen-Chi or Jorg Stamm to collaborate in the construction of ambitious projects made possible through community engagement and skills sharing.As a lightweight natural material,bamboo is well suited as an educational tool and introduction to construction practices allowing anyone to participate,regardless of age,gender,or skill set.

The outcomes of these projects are both local and international.The works created respond directly to place,using local materials and engaging with local community,while also exchanging technical knowledge with an international community of experts and testing ideas that can translate back to other contexts of use.By focusing upon the creation of semi-permanent work,Cave Urban acknowledges the impermanence of architectural form and the subsequent responsibility to minimise the ecological cost of a work and create social and cultural connections that extend beyond the physical lifespan of a structure.
