새로운 가로환경을 제안하다. 중국, 상하이 리테일샵이 밀집된 신천지 가로에 제안된 설치물은 보행자들의 다양한 움직임과 가로에 면한 리테일샵의 프로그램을 연결하는 매개체로 총 30미터의 길이에 걸쳐 구축된다. 설치물을 관통, 지나가는 보행자는 비틀어지고 왜곡된 외피에 투영된 자신의 움직임과 주변환경을 비추어 봄으로써 색다른 공간감을 체험하는 동시에 소비지향적인 공간속, 단순히 소비가 목적이 되는 환경이 아닌 하나의 문화공감대로 가로환경을 재구성 시킨다. 사람, 공간, 소비, 문화를 캡쳐하여 교묘하게 짜집기 한다. 그리고 그 결과물로 완성된 설치물은 비틀어진 왜곡면으로 도시를 다시 반사시킨다.

UNStudio has created a gateway installation for the xintiandi style retail mall in shanghai, part of the ‘RIBA shanghai windows project 2014‘.
located in a prominent position along the city’s madang road, the
design frames the entrance to the site, reflecting interactions that
take place between the city’s occupants and the urban fabric. taking the
form of an extended 30 meter corridor, the project transitions between
wall and ceiling, translating occupants movements into a series of
inverted reflections as they move throughout the space. the large scale
mirroring at each end of the installation acts as concentration points,
combining the effect into one moving image.

the installation is related to the culture of consuming, not with respect only to shopping, but to consuming images: images of our surroundings, of our city, of the buildings and the people around us and, of course, of ourselves,’ explained ben van berkel, co-founder of UNStudio. ‘we wanted to ‘dress up’ the public space as it were and to capture the public in this environment, almost in a kaleidoscopic catwalk – a place where you can see and be seen, but in surprising ways and within new perspectives of your surroundings.’
