在波尔图最具代表性的地区之一的建筑多样性中,由创意团队FAHR 021.3设计的Metamorfose非常突出。绿色的金属网填补了城市门户之一的空白,其影响是不可否认的。这种与城市的亲密对话的结果是绝对完美的,因为它将构成圣本托火车站周围地区的所有元素结合起来。

Amid the architectural diversity of one of the most representative areas in Porto, Metamorfose, by creative team FAHR 021.3, stands out. The impact of the green metal mesh filling the void by one of the city’s gateway is undeniable. The result of this intimate dialogue with the city is absolute perfection when bringing together all the elements that make up the area around São Bento train station.

挑衅正在进行中。在今天腐朽、破坏和遗弃的地方,Metamorfose已经找到了自己的位置。废墟,城市历史的一部分,现在是一个干预的区域,首先是想象力的区域。它吸引了人们的眼球,引起了人们的不适。它在波尔图创造了一个新的风景,并使一个曾经穷困的空间变得有尊严。

Provocation is on its way. Where today decay, destruction and desertion are what is left, Metamorfose has found its place. The ruin, part of the history of the city, is now an area of intervention and, first and foremost, of imagination. It engages the eye and induces discomfort. It creates a new scenery in Porto and dignifies a space that was once destitute.

6吨钢,28米长,11米高,5米深,近200个交叉点,都是不同的 – 这些数据构成了这个数字开发的金属网。一个在不规则性中发现其物理性的网状物,是人类手的副产品。根据创意团队的理念,在波尔图这样的城市中心,这种塑料的姿态突破了建筑的形式主义和规则,证明了挑衅和惊奇的意图。色彩的使用本身,默认为3D建模软件,是对其挑战本质的声明。

Six tons of steel, 28 metres long, 11 metres high, 5 metres deep and almost 200 intersections, all different – these are data that compose this digitally developed metal mesh. A mesh that finds its physicality in the irregularity that is a by-product of the human hand. In line with the creative team’s philosophy, the plastic gesture, which breaks free from formalisms and rules in construction, in a city centre such as Porto, puts into evidence the intent of provoking and surprising people. The use of colour itself, default in 3D modelling software, is a statement of its challenging essence.

这是Metamorfose对FAHR 021.3二人组来说唯一有意义的方式。在Porto Lazer推动的Locomotiva倡议的框架下,该团队提出了一个项目,总结了他们的挑衅性观点,反映了对波尔图最具特色的元素之一–空隙空间的新建筑和艺术方法。FAHR着眼于这些在整个城市反复出现的空间,并看到了干预和想象力的可能机会。

This is the only way Metamorfose would ever make sense for the duo FAHR 021.3. Framed by the Locomotiva initiative, promoted by Porto Lazer, the team present a project that sums up their provocative vision and reflects a new architectural and artistic approach to one of the most characteristic elements in Porto – void spaces. FAHR looks at these spaces, found repeatedly throughout the city, and see possible opportunities for intervention and imagination.

例外是挑衅性的。破坏是具有挑战性的。 城市和结构进行了对话。 蜕变被唤醒。可能的解释是无止境的,目的是达到的。

Exception is provocative. Disruption is challenging. City and structure strike up a dialogue. Metamorphosis awakes. Possible interpretations are endless, intent is attained.
