2个女孩大楼是一个融合了艺术、摄影和建筑的混合用途建筑。该项目探索了这三个学科之间的关系,模糊了它们各自的界限,导致一种工艺以一种新媒介的形式与其他工艺的特点重叠和挪用。因此,摄影挪用了建筑的物质性,而摄影则转移到了第三维的建筑空间。建筑变成了摄影,摄影变成了建筑,而建筑则变成了建筑环境中的一个混合的城市人工制品。

The 2 Girls Building is a mixed use building that fuses art, photography and architecture. The project explores the relationship between the three disciplines and blurs their respective boundaries resulting in one craft overlapping and appropriating with the characteristics of the others in the form of a new medium. As a result photography appropriates architectural materiality and photography shifts into the architectural space of the third dimension. Architecture becomes photography, photography becomes architecture and the building becomes a hybrid urban artefact within the built environment.

KUD在设计过程中与墨尔本艺术家萨曼莎-埃弗顿合作,以确保整个项目的艺术形式的合作整合。埃弗顿的 “复古娃娃 “系列中的 “化妆舞会 “被特别挑选出来,因为它的主题是人们熟悉的地方,是内城传统家庭空间的代名词,更重要的是,它为公共领域提供了戏剧性。主要的流通空间是一个事实上的艺术画廊,展示着艺术作品,分割着办公室、仓库空间和住宅公寓。

KUD collaborated with Melbourne Artist Samantha Everton during the design process to ensure a collaborative integration of art forms throughout the project. The “Masquerade”, from Everton’s ‘Vintage Dolls’ series, that features on the building façade, was specifically selected for its familiar vernacular in its subject matter which is synonymous with inner city traditional domestic spaces and more importantly, for the drama and theatre it provides to the public realm. The primary circulation space doubles as a de facto art gallery with art works on display, dividing the offices, warehouse spaces and residential apartments.

这种合作注入了另一层复杂性;无意中交换和调换了建筑师对艺术家以及艺术家对建筑师的角色。联盟的边界被模糊了,重新定义了 “艺术家 “和 “建筑师 “作为一种表达方式。这种协同作用催生了一种混合类型,并确保了摄影-建筑-艺术的盛行。

The collaboration injected another layer of complexity; unintentionally exchanging and swapping the roll of the architect to artist and the artist to architect. The boundaries of the alliance were blurred, redefining ‘the artist’ and ‘the architect’ as one expression. This synergy spawned a hybrid typology and ensured that the photo‐archi‐art prevailed.
