Urbanscape : Streetbeat Competition
競賽主題 JIAN ZHU JING SAI QING BAO JU
當我們未來的大城市每天都以熙熙攘攘的街道和高聳的摩天大樓來定義自己的時候，一個城市仍然渴望很多東西——一種身份。從21世紀開始，我們的生活方式和對城市定義的理解都在迅速改變。城市景觀是城市建成環境的表現形式。它不僅指建築形式的配置，而且還指間隙空間的元素。然而，我們今天看到的是不斷增長的摩天大樓，這些摩天大樓以壓倒性的態勢佔據了城市的主要記憶。
建築群可能決定了城市的形象，但公共生活決定了它的內部運作。本次比賽旨在扭轉城市家具在城市中發揮作用的局面。從改變他們的大規模生產的一塊實用性，以一個更周到的方面，他們的存在。為了讓他們更注重創意和實用性，在這些人和與家具互動的人之間建立更有趣的關係。
競賽挑戰 JIAN ZHU JING SAI QING BAO JU
城市景觀：Streetbeat（ 街邊長椅 ）是向前邁進的一步，它試圖將城市身份的概念和使城市充滿樂趣的家具結合起來。它的目的是創造連接點，使日常生活的城市像音樂音符那樣微妙。大流行過後，人們上街的意願大大降低，這意味著我們需要付出更多的努力
這裡的挑戰是為理想的城市創造一件或一系列家具，這些家具在概念/形式/顏色/設計上具有共同的特點，需要從城市中得到考慮。這些家具的位置也很重要，通過分析它們對城市有意義的關鍵點。
本次大賽的目標是催生出從城市身份而非工業便利中萌生出來的家具概念。

Urbanscape : Streetbeat Competition
PREMISE
As our future mega-cities are defining themselves every day with bustling streets and soaring skyscrapers, a city still craves for many things but mostly – an identity. The 21st century from its onset is rapidly changing how we live and how we perceive the definitions of a city rampantly. ‘Urbanscape’ is the manifestation of the built environment of cities. It not only refers to the configuration of built forms but also the elements that define interstitial spaces. However, what we see today is the progression of ever-increasing skyscrapers that dominate the memories of a city, overpowering smaller elements.
Built-mass may define the image of the city, but public life defines its inner workings. This competition is an endeavour to turn the tables on how urban furniture works in cities. From changing them to a mass-produced piece of utility to a more thoughtful in terms of their presence. To root them more on originality and utility, build more interesting relationships between these and the people who come in interaction with the furniture pieces.
BRIEF
Urbanscape: Streetbeat is a step forward that seeks to bind the concept of urban identity and the furniture that makes the city fun to be in. It aims at creating elements that connect the dots to make the daily life of the city groove like music notes in very subtle ways. After the pandemic the will to go out on the streets has reduced considerably it will take more effort
The challenge here is creating a single piece OR a family of furniture for the desired city with common features in concept/form/colour/design that needs to be derived from the city into consideration. The location of these pieces of furniture also matters, by analyzing key spots where they could be meaningful to the city as well.
The goal of this competition is to give birth to furniture concepts that sprout from the city’s identity instead of industrial convenience. This would be possible in the following three steps.
THE STREET BEAT
1. Choose a locality: The selected place should be an urban condition. The city selected should preferably be Your city, where you live or really acquainted with in terms of its working and qualities.
You can also choose a city which you always wanted to design for but to understand the energy of the city, the experience is always more helpful.
2. Establish the Rhythm: Use a piece of music or create an item of furniture that embraces music as its function entirely. You can pick a song, or a genre, or an album, and synthesize music qualities relevant to the place of choice. You can also pick an artist rooted to the place to make the design outcome more relevant to the place. And there are many ways you can include music in the furniture similar to above.
3. Create the furniture: The idea is to use music as an element to design The furniture pieces created, can be chosen from a broad category of street furniture categories described in the following sections. These can be chosen by preferences of the designer or its affinity/use/compatibility to the city.
There is no additional merit associated with the kind of choice of the categories but the design input of the participant and its merging from step one. You can use hybrid categories that may solve crucial spots of the city and at the same time define its image at large.
GOALS
Objective: Create a tangible/intangible piece of furniture that brings music to daily lives. You can pick anyone or multiple of these furniture typologies and develop a design based on the brief. The key qualities expected in the furniture pieces are:
space identification: Identify a space for your urban furniture in the city.
Modularity: Design a modular piece of furniture that is industrially replicable.
Space Identification: Identify a space for your urban furniture in the city.
Robust: Develop a furniture piece that can withstand years of use in the public realm.
Fun: Induce an element of fun within the furniture element through music in design or music and linked interactions.
