我们对SEESON旗舰店的改造位于西贡最重要的遗产轴线之一的Nam Ky Khoi Nghia街的一栋办公楼的底层。该街区以南圻会义街、Huynh Thuc Khang、Pasteur和Le Loi这四条中心街道为界,充满了城市沉积物,是不同时代的多层共存,包括法国别墅、共和国时期的建筑、商业建筑。

Our renovation of SEESON’s flagship store is located on the ground floor of an office building on Nam Ky Khoi Nghia street, one of the most important axes of Saigon’s heritage. The block, bounded by the four central streets of Nam Ky Khoi Nghia, Huynh Thuc Khang, Pasteur and Le Loi, is filled with urban sediments, the co-existence of multiple layers of various eras, including French villas, Republic-era buildings, commercial buildings.

建筑本身也是60年代和70年代南越现代建筑运动的象征,其特点是混凝土材料和合理、坚实的框架的结合,是现代主义语言和传统的砖顶细节之间的交织。

The architecture of the building itself is also emblematic of the Modern Architecture movement in South Vietnam in the 60s and 70s, characterized by the combination of concrete materials and a rational, solid framework, an interweaving between the language of Modernism and traditional brise-soleil details.

在这样的背景下,揭示和创造对话的工作,或为城市的记忆提供越来越少的开口,是该项目的建筑意图:恢复被时间的各种干预所改变的建筑的原始外墙;尽量减少会影响建筑主体结构的干预;在这个带有不同程度表面渗透的材料的错觉中,使用自然光作为主要元素。

In such a context, the work of revealing and creating dialogues, or the increasingly rare openings for the memories of the city to emerge, is the architectural intention of the project: to restore the original facade of the building which has been transformed by various interventions of time; to minimize interventions that would affect the main structure of the building; to use natural light as a main element in this mise-en-scène of materials that carry different levels of surface penetration.

我们的动机是在城市空间中创造一个突破口,使用声音和触摸,因为我们发现了一个记忆的维度;在光线穿过锯齿状或透明的表面时,捕捉到直接或散射的、明亮或柔和的闪光的摇摆;唤起身体的振动,因为它在虚拟和现实之间的梦幻世界里移动。

Our motivation is to create a break in the urban space, using sound and touch, as we uncover a dimension of memory; to arrest the vacillations of light that is either direct or scattered, brilliant or softly sparkling, as it moves through jagged or transparent surfaces; to evoke the vibrations of the body as it moves through a dream world between the virtual and the real.
