▎展覽介紹

公共空間是件不簡單的事，它不只關乎空間構成本身，還包含了空間的使用，以及城市與市民生活的相互關係。

然而今日的我們必須求變，由於公共空間牽扯的複雜性高，改變更成為一項艱難的任務。促成改變的因素有兩個重要關鍵，緊扣著將城市空間「行人徒步化」（Pedestrianization）的主要概念：首要是我們必須減少車輛使用；再者是推廣街道消費，以因應近期的社會經濟轉型與觀光業發展。

▎展覽介紹

公共空間是件不簡單的事，它不只關乎空間構成本身，還包含了空間的使用，以及城市與市民生活的相互關係。

然而今日的我們必須求變，由於公共空間牽扯的複雜性高，改變更成為一項艱難的任務。促成改變的因素有兩個重要關鍵，緊扣著將城市空間「行人徒步化」（Pedestrianization）的主要概念：首要是我們必須減少車輛使用；再者是推廣街道消費，以因應近期的社會經濟轉型與觀光業發展。

這項複雜的任務，有一項重要關鍵是，群體必須要在真正的硬體環境改變之前，就開始行走與使用公共空間。甚至，由於發展快速，文化與空間性的轉變應該要同時發生。

那該如何開始呢？策展操作與建築設計必須要結合，策展的企劃過程中必須要考慮到空間發展的目的性，而建築計畫則必須要納入策展思維。公共活動更必須要推廣公共空間的使用與探索，因此這類公共空間設計的過程，應該被公共而開放地展示，邀請市民進一步地了解城市發展的過程，並促進合作。

這就是衍序規劃設計一直所實踐，我們認為應該在台北完成的事，也是這場展覽中所主要呈現並推進的事。展覽中展出兩項由衍序規劃設計所策展、設計及執行的計畫，一項是台北舊城區步行化前導概念測試計畫的設計過程，另一項則是2016與2017年的台北白晝之夜。

若說這場展覽是空間「行人徒步化」（Pedestrianization）計劃的一部份，是因為它將行人徒步區的設計過程公眾化，那麼白晝之夜被放進這場展覽中則是因為它試圖揭露並擴展公共空間的潛能，同時也拓展了人們在城市中行走及活動的可能性。

▩ 谷居 Gu Ju  
「創意如水湧，匯集至谷間」
谷居GuJu 座落於迪化街一段14巷的末端，由谷汩文化經營，一樓為複合式展場，結合藝術、古董與書籍，並供應咖啡、酒水與甜點。
二樓為完整的展覽空間，不定期舉辦各式講座與展覽。
以策展出發，將其於生活實踐，期待能夠連結國際，為大稻埕帶來不同的風貌。

Public space is a hell of a thing. Indeed, it is made of the space, but also the use of the space, and the meaning in relation to the city and the life of the people.

Unfortunately, today we must change it. This is a very difficult task, due to the substantial complexity of public space. There are two reasons behind this change, that corresponds to the pedestrianization of our cities: the first is the need to reduce car usage; the second is the need to promote street shopping in the light of the recent socio-economical transformations and the development of tourism.

The complexities at stake demand that the collectivity starts walking and using public space before that an actual transformation takes place. Actually, since there is not so much time, the cultural and spatial transformations should happen together.

How could this be done? The curating and architecture must be combined. The curatorial programs must include spatial objectives and the architectural project should include curatorial aspects. Public events should promote the discovery and the use of public space, too. The process of public space design should be made public for to let the people understand and collaborate to the development of the city.

This is what we do at BIAS. This is what we think must be done in Taipei. Finally, this is what this exhibition showcases and participates in. It showcases the design process behind the test project for the pedestrianization of Old Taipei Walled City, and the happenings of Taipei Nuit Blanche 2017, both designed, curated, and executed by BIAS Architects.

If the exhibition is part of the pedestrianization project because it is an attempt to make it public, the Nuit Blanche is part of the exhibition because it is an attempt to unveil the potentials of public space, but also because it promotes new activities and walking in the city.

Greatly interested in the architectural and social aspects of public space, thus practicing design as well as curating, BIAS Architects cultivates a collaborative and empowering design methodology that is centered upon a continuous dialog between the firm and the local developers or partners. BIAS is devoted to finding new ways of thinking architecture, landscape, and the urban environment through experimental design methods and issue-based curating.
