首尔城市弹球机,由希奇工作室设计。首尔城市弹球机 “是一个新的公共场所和景观,通过城市广泛的材料和纹理在视觉和物理上进行体验。户外弹球机利用博物馆的斜坡,以及由环保材料制成的物体,为城市提供了新的刺激。所提议的物品是使用通常构成城市的回收升级材料制作的。我们提出的材料,如重复使用的旧木头、生物塑料、耐腐烂的环保中密度纤维板等,是对我们城市在大流行病之后所面临的气候危机的具体对抗。

Seoul Urban Pinball Machine, by Studio Heech. ‘Seoul Urban Pinball Machine’ is a new public place and landscape experienced visually and physically through the city’s extensive materials and textures. The outdoor pinball machine utilizing the museum’s slope along with the objects made of eco-friendly materials provides a new excitement to the city. The proposed objects were made using recycled upcycled materials typically constituting the city. The materials we propose such as reused old wood, bioplastic, eco-friendly MDF resistant to decay etc. are tangible confrontations against the climate crisis our city is facing in the aftermath of the pandemic.

建筑坡度。首尔丸,首尔建筑与都市主义大厅的倾斜屋顶,是为了恢复首尔最古老地区世宗大道后面的历史城市背景而规划的。空旷的建筑坡度旨在让周围的城市结构被带入。

Architectural slope. Seoul Maru, the sloped roof of Seoul Hall of Architecture & Urbanism, was planned to revive the historic urban context of Seoul’s oldest district behind Sejong-daero. The empty architectural slope was aimed to allow the surrounding urban fabric to be brought in.

然而,由于规划模糊的家具和与相邻的首尔圣公会大教堂的停车场意外的水平差异,这个建筑斜坡无法被清楚地阅读。人们认为,”公共干预 “需要一个能够回忆起周边地区历史背景的建筑主张。这个项目是探索新的公共空间类型的实验,也是一个可以清楚地体验现有的物理倾斜平面的景观,而不是在首尔的历史区域建立辉煌的建筑形式或体积。

However, this architectural slope could not be read clearly due to the vaguely planned furniture and the unexpected level difference with the parking area of the adjacent Seoul Anglican Cathedral. It was believed that ‘public intervention’ needs to be an architectural proposition that can recall the historical contexts of the surrounding area. This project is experimentation to explore new types of public space as well as a landscape that can experiences the existing physical sloped plane clearly, rather than erecting splendid architectural form or volume in the historic area of Seoul.

城市游戏。物理模型 “建筑弹球机 “是在竞赛阶段制作的,作为在斜坡上创造一个新的公共空间和城市游乐场的实验手段。一个被发射的球在倾斜的游戏场地中上下移动,上面放置了印刷的图形和物体,表达了首尔的象征性场所和建筑。发射球的玩家成为弹球旅行活动的表演者,而观看的同事则成为观众并参与到这一表演中。此外,在已完成的9米x18米的巨型户外弹球机中,用户直接来到游戏场,然后与检测人的运动的物体进行游戏和互动。

Urban play. The physical model ‘Architectural Pinball Machine’ was produced during the competition stage as a means of experimentation for creating a new public space and urban playground at the slope. A launched ball travels up and down through the inclined game field with printed graphics and objects placed on it, expressing symbolic places and buildings of Seoul. The player who launches a ball becomes the performer of the pinball’s traveling event, and the colleagues who watch it become the audience and participate in this performance. In addition, in the completed 9mx18m giant outdoor pinball machine, users directly come up on the game field, then play and interact with the objects that detect people’s motion.

游戏场成为一个戏剧的舞台,参观者通过以自己的方式行走、跑步、跳舞、坐着和休息等行为,成为一种新的公共表演的参与者,被称为城市集体游戏。面向未来的材料仓库。该项目是通过与创意工匠、工程师、制造商、材料研究人员、家具制造商合作完成的。设计、生产和安装在不到两个月的短时间内进行,希奇工作室的制造者们参与了整个制造过程。从最初的设计阶段开始,可持续性就被视为一个关键问题。人们相信,可持续的生命力可以在搬迁到另一个地方时获得,而不是在首尔丸的三个月的安装后被处理掉。

The game field becomes a stage for a play, and visitors become participants in a new public performance called a collective urban play through the acts of walking, running, dancing, sitting, and resting in their own way. Material stores for the future: The project was completed through collaboration with creative artisans, engineers, makers, material researchers, furniture makers. The design, production, and installation took place in a short period of fewer than two months, and the Studio Heech’s makers participated in the entire fabrication process. From the initial design stage, sustainability was regarded as a crucial issue. It was believed that sustainable vitality could be obtained when relocating to another place rather than being disposed of after three months of installation in Seoul Maru.

这意味着项目的最终结果需要是可持续的、制作精良的产品,而不是只为三个月的临时安装而生产。为此,组件和接头的设计是为了便于组装和拆卸。几乎所有的元素都是预制的,并在现场安装,以减少对环境的影响和在施工现场产生的碳足迹。2.5厘米厚的高性能混凝土(UHPC)板,由于其重量和体积与强度相比很小,所以对环境的影响很低,是便于组装和拆卸的选择。

This meant that the final outcome of the project needs to be sustainable well-made products rather than being produced for the only temporary installation for three months. The components and joints were designed for ease of assembly and disassembly for this purpose. Almost all elements were prefabricated and installed on-site in order to reduce the environmental impact and carbon footprint generated at the construction site. 2.5cm thick high-performance concrete (UHPC) panels, which have a low environmental impact due to their small weight and volume compared to their strength, were a choice for ease of assembly and disassembly.

1米×2米的UHPC板和钢制下层框架是在杰川的工厂生产的,并在现场安装。此外,建议的对象是使用各种回收/循环使用的材料。在仓库里存放多年的结构性木梁(旧木材)被用作标识和家具的结构支撑。使用制药公司丢弃的鸭蛋黄的生物塑料物体,以及没有有害排放物,但也有足够耐用和稳定的质量在户外使用的环保中密度纤维板,被用作各种家具和物体的装饰材料。

The 1m x 2m UHPC panel and the steel lower frame were manufactured at the factory in Jecheon and installed on site. In addition, the proposed objects were made using various recycled/upcycled materials. The structural timber beams (old wood) that had been stored in the warehouse for many years were used as structural support for signage and furniture. Bio-plastic objects using a duck egg yolk that is discarded by pharmaceutical companies, and eco-friendly MDF boards that have no harmful emits but also have durable and stable enough quality for use outside have been used as a finishing material for various furniture and objects.

不是一个场地,也不是一个展馆” 首尔城市弹球机的想法来自于最初的问题,即在我们的城市从未经历过的大流行之后,公共空间和公共装置项目需要是什么样子。首尔城市弹球机被规划为一个新的公共空间、城市游乐场、公共家具和景观,在这里可以体验到首尔丸的现有物理坡度、各种材料和纹理。

‘Not a venue, nor a pavilion’ The idea of the Seoul Urban Pinball Machine was drawn from the initial question, what the public space and public installation project need to be like after the pandemic, which our city has never experienced. The Seoul Urban Pinball Machine is planned as a new public space, urban playground, public furniture, and landscape where the existing physical slopes of the Seoul Maru, various materials, and textures are experienced.

人们走到户外空间,以自己的方式享受弹球游戏,散步,并体验和接触由环保材料制成的物品。这是一种尝试,代表了我们的城市在大流行之后的新视角,并将首尔丸转化为一个公民社区分享其对城市复原力的信心的地方。首尔城市弹球机,将在三个月后被拆除、移动并重新安装,就像Masques项目一样,John Hejduck创造的特色建筑物体和装置在穿越柏林、汉诺威和兰开斯特等城市时继续叙述。我们期待着看到由城市弹球机书写的新的城市故事。

People go out to the outdoor space to enjoy pinball games in their own way, take a walk, and experience and encounter objects made of eco-friendly materials. This is an attempt to represent a new perspective of our city after the pandemic and transforms Seoul Maru into a place where the civic community shares its confidence in urban resilience. The Seoul Urban Pinball Machine, which will be dismantled, move, and re-installed three months later, like the Masques project, in which the characterized architectural objects and devices created by John Hejduck continue the narrative while traveling through cities such as Berlin, Hanover, and Lancaster. We look forward to seeing new urban stories that will be written by the Urban Pinball Machine.
