爱西湖，爱杭州，爱设计
I love Westlake, Hangzhou and Design

“我对设计一直有着非常大的热情和激情”

“I have always been enthusiastic and passionate about design”

我是从小在西湖边长大，对杭州有着很深的感情。杭州在我看来非常有趣，非常美。我特别珍惜在这个城市生活中转角遇到惊喜时还能让自己置身于一个优美而诗意化的环境中的记忆。

我从小对于逻辑性和艺术性的东西都非常地感兴趣，我希望在这两者之间找到一个相对的平衡点。设计是一个很好的解决这两者之间交叉点的学科，我对设计一直有着非常大的热情和激情，我更愿意把自己定义成一个广义的设计师而不仅仅是建筑师。我希望在自己的有生之年能够去创造出一些被大家所记得住的东西，甚至当我和我们的团队离开这个事情的时候，他仍就能够留在这里，仍就能够带给大家一些快乐和美好的东西。

▼阮昊，Ruan Hao

I spent my childhood somewhere next to the Westlake, so I always have a soft spot for Hangzhou. It is an incredibly interesting and graceful city to me. I especially treasure the memory of encountering something unexpected and amazing while you emerge yourself within a poetic and graceful environment.

I have always been interesting in things that are logical or artistic since I was young, and I am hoping to find a relative balance between them. Designing is a profession standing between these two spectrum. That’s why I am so passionate and enthusiastic on designing. I would rather consider myself as a designer rather then an architect. I am hoping that I can create something that will last in people’s memory within my life times. They will keep bringing happiness and joyful memory to everyone even if my team and I are no longer in charge of these things.

关注当下，放眼整个产业链
Focusing on Contemporary Issues, and Keeping the Whole Industry in Mind

“我们给予自己的一种使命：希望能够通过设计和项目，以一种类似针灸的疗法，为城市带来更多的解题方法……我们希望探索整个设计行业的可能性。”

“We Provide us Our own Mission: We are hoping to that we can bring more diverse range of solutions to the issues of cities in an acupuncture manner…… we hope to explore the potential of the entire design industry.”

从零壹城市创立至今，我们一直关注在城市发展过程当中我们所生活的环境，所面临的各种各样的矛盾和问题。尤其是空间和人的生活方式上的问题。我们试图去在这个发展的城市中去寻找30年前和现在有什么样的不同。这30年的过程中，我们的城市发展着非常巨大的变化，在这种飞速的变化面前没有人会停下脚步去细细思考这里面存在的各种各样的问题，而这些问题现在正在逐渐地显现。我们给予自己的一种使命：希望能够通过设计和项目，以一种类似针灸的疗法，为城市带来更多的解题方法。而这些项目和设计的模式，也希望能够被推广到更多的城市当中去。

We are always focusing our attention on all kinds of issues of the environments we live that we encounter during the process of urbanization, issues in particular about space and human living. We try to find out the difference between what is like 30 years ago and the present in this developing city. During this 30 years, cities in our country have been developing and changing drastically. So drastic that no one will stop and contemplate the different kinds of issues that happened within the cities as the issues starting to emerge. We provide us our own Duty: We are hoping to that we can bring more diverse range of solutions to the issues of cities in an acupuncture manner. We hope that such projects and design modes can be introduced to many other cities.

除了对城市的关注以外，我们也很在意如何去打造属于零壹城市自己的设计产业链，所以我们的设计不仅仅有建筑，有室内，也会有产品、品牌、平面，包括软装设计等等。我们希望能够通过对整个设计产业的探索，和属于我们年轻化的方式去整合去探索新的可能性。

Besides focusing our attention on the cities, we are also thinking of how we will establish our own design industry for LYCS Architecture。 Therefore, our design not only includes architecture and interior design, but also industrial designs, branding, graphic designs, and soft furnishing designs, etc. We hope to explore the potential of designs to the entire industry, and to unify and to explore new possibilities in our own youthful ways.

公司构架
The Structure of Our Company

“扁平化，互联网化，自下而上，自我革命，更开放”

“Flat, Internet-based, bottom up, self revolutionary, and open-ended.”

零壹城市和绝大部分的设计事务所不同，他是一个非常扁平化和互联网化的公司。设计团队的创意体系自下而上。很多设计事务所设计的思维和概念是来自于创立事务所的几个大师。但是对于零壹城市而言，我们坚定不移地相信团队能够以自下而上的方式去涌现出各种有意思的想法，并且把这种想法能够最后付诸于实践。工作时，大家共享各种碎片化的信息并通过争论甚至于争吵，然后把所有的想法快速地记录到墙上，最后涌现出最精华的概念，而这个概念都不知道是出自于谁。这是真正的自下而上的体系，能够源源不断地产生新的思路和想法。任何一个人都有灵感枯竭的时候，而只有一个完善可以自我去迭代和新陈代谢的体系，才能够不断地涌现新的有价值的想法。

我们团队另外一个特点就是会一直不停地去做自我革新和自我革命。我们经常会在达到了一定的成绩之后马上静下来去思考下一步应该做什么，我们会为自己过去所做的一切工作进行非常详细而坦诚的反思。所有外界的困难和现实都是简单的，只有自我是最难突破的。

零壹城市一直在尝试着介入整个产业链，去进入整个更大的想法与创造当中，设计不是一个单纯的甲乙方的关系，我们能够以更好更开放的方式融入产业协作与价值创造体系中，我们才能够更有创造力的去为合作伙伴服务与合作。希望年轻有意思的设计师加入我们，一起来创造一个更大的平台，进行设计创新。

One thing that distinct LYCS from other designing firms is that it is a really flat and internet-based company. The system of creative ideas for our design team is bottom-up. Ideas and concepts of many design firms come from the few masters who founded their firms, but to LYCS, we have a faith that new ideas will emerge and be executed from a bottom – up system. During projects, we share different kinds of fragmental information, and via discussion and even argument, we quickly record those ideas on wall. As the most extracted idea eventually emerges, we don’t even know who is the first person came up with that. This truly is a bottom-up system that can constantly emerge brand-new ideas and proposals. It always occurs moments when one feels that his/her idea is drained. Only in a system that is able to do self-updating and evolution can new and valuable ideas constantly emerge.

Another unique aspect of our team is that we have been keeping doing innovation and self-revolutions. We always slow down to contemplate what we are doing the next steps as we accomplished something. We will also reflect what we have done in a really sincere and honest attitude. Everything hardship and reality is easy to overcome, but the nutshells of ourselves are hard to breakthrough.

LYCS has always been trying to involve in the entire industry, to participate in something larger than mere design. Designing industry is not just about relationships between the clients and the designers. Only when we are able to emerge in the system of industrial co-operation and value creation in a more refined and open-ended approach can we serve and co-operate more creatively for our partners. We welcome young and passionate designers joining us to establish a larger platform for innovation design.

设计方法
The Method of Design

“以用户行为为导向，永远把用户的需求放在第一位……所有项目最后的终点不一样，但是起点却都相同……一个设计若是能为当下的城市和当下城市的生活去提供一些更有趣更快乐更美好的东西，那就是一个成功的设计。”

“We are guided by user behavior, and always take the need of our clients in the first place…All projects lead to different ends, but they start similarly…… A design can be said as successful if it could bring something more interesting, happier, or wonderful into the contemporary cities and city livings.”

我们一直以用户的行为为导向而设计。这种设计方法是一种对于问题提出解决方式的设计方法，不仅仅拘泥于一个人或者一个小的团队，也不受限与某种艺术风格或个人脑海中的意向与艺术性表达，这种设计方法更多是以创造性的方式去解决问题，永远把用户的需求放在第一位。我们会做很多用户画像和用户研究，只有当对用户有了深刻的了解才知道现在现存的空间问题，核心需求是什么，以及核心需求所对应的深层次人性是什么，然后我们就能提出更有趣更创新性的想法，最终做出颠覆性的设计。所以不管是小尺度的猫桌，还是大尺度的建筑，以及我们后来做的各种项目，都是在尝试着以这样去进行设计。你会发现当我们不同尺度项目最后的终点不一样，但是起点却都是相同。这些设计被很好地串联在一起。同时我们希望我们的设计是快乐简单轻松的，我们不希望设计被赋予过多的解读和历史意义。我们认为一个设计若是能为当下的城市和当下城市的生活去提供一些更有趣更快乐更美好的东西，那就是一个成功的设计。

Our design is always guided by the behavior of users. It is a solution finding design approach that is neither restricted by individuals or small teams, nor limited by certain art styles or motifs and artistic expression in anyone’s mind. This design approach is more about finding creative solutions and putting the need of user in the first place. We will create personas and do a lot of research of our customers. Only when we have a deeper understanding of our customers can we figure out essence of the existing issues of spaces, core and the deeper human nature related them. After that we will bring up more Interesting and creative ideas that will eventually lead to ground-breaking designs. So regardless we are doing a small-scale desk for cats or larger scale buildings, or even projects later on, we try to design based on this approach. You will end up finding that though our designs are lead to different ends, they start from the same approach. These designs are well related. Meanwhile, we hope that our design is simple, innocent, and happy, so we do not want our designs to be given excessive amount of interpretation or historical value. We believe that a design can be said as successful if it could bring something more interesting, happier, or wonderful into the contemporary cities and city livings.

▼屋顶跑道小学设计介入过程，design process of the 2nd School of Hangzhou Future Tech City

▼上海宝业中心设计介入过程，design process of Shanghai Baoye Center

大家都知道我们的屋顶跑道小学项目，在那个项目后我们又有一个新的学校项目–杭州未来科技城第二学校。这个学校的整体设计方法和思路看似和屋顶跑道小学不同，但仍以孩子为出发点。因为我们坚信一个学校最终的样子不应该仅仅是这个学校的管理层和领导层来决定，也应该由这个学校的孩子们来参与决定。所以我们在最开始的时候找了好多小孩儿，让他们画出心中最理想的学校是什么样的，然后我们再把他们绘画中的这些小房子小街道还有小城镇的感觉，转化成了一个设计方案。最后这个学校由15个大大小小不同的小房子组合在一起，形成了不同的院落，营造出一个从幼儿园到小学再到初中的“小城”。

Everyone knows our project of primary school with roof top running track. We get a new school project after that — the 2nd School of Hangzhou Future Tech City. The general design approach of the school seems to be different from the Primary School with Roof Top Running Track, but it is still lead by needs of children. Because we have a faith that a school is not eventually decided by the school manager and the cadres, but also decided by the engagement of children in the school. So we found a few children in the very beginning, and asked them to draw out their ideal schools. And then we converted those feeling about little houses, streets, and towns in the drawings into a schematic design. Eventually, as fifteen different sizes of houses were put together, a variety of courtyards are created, and a “tiny-town” with a kindergarten, elementary school and middle school was built.

面面观之项目的故事
Overview of the story of the project

阮昊 Ruan Hao

“上海宝业中心在我们事务所的发展过程中是一个有里程碑性质的项目。”
“The Baoye Center in Shanghai is a mile-stone like project in our entire history of developments.”

上海宝业中心对我们而言非常特殊。从2012年9月开始概念设计，到现在已经五年多时间了。建筑主体已经全部完工，室内设计还在施工中。对我们而言这是非常有意义的一次尝试，在这个项目中我们将建筑，室内，景观，幕墙进行了整体一体化设计，实现了一个完成度相对比较高的设计尝试。比如我们建筑外立面的GRC幕墙有提前一年半到两年去做四个1：1的模型单元。然后经历一年多以后，我们发现最初的模型在风吹日晒了一年多后没有任何的变脏与变形，我们才放心地进行整个幕墙的装配式建造。整个设计过程当中进行了各专业的协调，付出了很多努力，做出了很多创新的解决方法。上海宝业中心在我们设计事务所的整个发展过程当中是一个非常有里程碑性质的项目。

我们现在也有另外一个新项目在施工，就是杭州之角。杭州之角比上海宝业中心更具有挑战性，因为杭州之角的体量和规模更大。在这个巨大的高层项目中，我们也进行着方方面面的一体化整体设计，希望最终能呈现给大家的是一个不管是从最大尺度，还是到最小的尺度，都很精细化、高完成度的作品。

The Project of Shanghai Baoye Center is a special for us. We initiated our conception design in September 2012. We having working on it for five years. The main structure of the building was completed, yet the construction of the interior is still ongoing. To us, the project is a rather valuable experiment. We practiced a holistic design approach in architecture, interior design, landscape, and the facade of the project, so that we achieved a rather high state of completion for the design of this project. For instance, for the GRC Curtain wall of the exterior façade of the building, four 1:1 modulated mock-ups were built one and a half to two years ago. We did not start building the installation of the entire curtain wall until we ensured that the original mock-ups neither got muddy nor transformed after exposing in natural environment for one and a half years. A lot of collaboration between different professions happened within the entire design process. We put a lot of efforts, and many innovative solutions are made. The Baoye Center in Shanghai is a mile-stone like project in our entire history of developments.

The Corner of Hangzhou is another new project that we are currently under construction. The Corner of Hangzhou is more challenging than the Shanghai Baoye Center for its larger scale and mass. We practiced a holistic design approach for all different aspects of this massive high-rising project. Hopefully we will bring a work of a high level of precision and completion in both the smallest scale to the largest scale to the public eventually.

“让使用者以一种全新又坦诚的方式面对自然。”
“Let the users experience the Nature in a sincere and innovative manner.”

上海宝业中心经历五六年，一个很有意思的地方，是虽然它看起来是一个项目，但我们在期间经历了至少3次迭代、做了“好几个”项目：第一次迭代是从一开始单纯的建筑设计到景观、幕墙等整体设计和把控；之后我们又开始建筑与室内、平面设计一体化设计；现在我们甚至将对一些空间的运营和经营提供策划案。期间项目里面的其他专业的负责人几乎全都换过，只有我们是一直从头到尾延续和把控整体的设计。比如外立面幕墙的GRC材料采用了数字化的手段进行优化，并做过非常多的实验和模块。

The process of Baoye Center of Shanghai lasted 5 to 6 years. One interesting aspect of this project is that although it looks like one design project, it has been iterating for at least three times during the process, and has a couple version of it: The first iteration began with developing a purely architectural design to a holistic control and design for both landscape and the exterior curtain wall; after that we apply the holistic design approach of architecture into the interior and the graphic design; right now we are even able to provide some proposal for the operation and management of some spaces. As almost everyone that are in charge of other aspects of this project changed, we are the only team that manage the entire design all the way the end. For instance，the structure of GRC material for the curtain wall of the exterior facades are optimized by digital tools, and are made through many experiments and modules.

我们现在还在做杭州桐庐的一个民宿。设计时我们把人的一些行为和体验放大了，比如有一个房间主题是露天沐浴，用意就是让使用者以一种全新但又最坦诚的方式面对大自然；有一个房间叫星空下，在里面躺在床上就能看到一片星空，等等整个设计用新方式来创造人与自然的互动体验。另外一个新项目是幼儿园，在这个项目中我们对幼儿园进行了重新的思考，去理解真正符合小朋友身体尺度和心理爱玩的需求引出一个概念叫小房子加大公园。我们把每一个教室做出一个个适合尺度的定制空间，然后把它们拆散放在整个场地中，而整个场地被我们做成一个大公园，孩子可以在这里进行完全不同的体验。

Now we are also working on a countryside renovation project in Hangzhou Tonglu. We enlarged the feelings of human experience and behavior as we are designing it. For example, one of the rooms ‘s idea is “Bathing Under the Heaven”. The idea behind that is to let the users experience the Nature in a brand-new and sincere manner. Another room is called “Under the Starry Sky”, within which you are able to have a view on the starry sky lying on bed. Many projects like them intend to create an interactive experience for both human being and the Nature. Another new project is a kindergarten. We intended to re-start our understanding of the typology of kindergarten in this project by truly understanding the children’s need of playing and the human scale of children. And that lead to a new concept that we call it “Tiny House + Big Park”. We transform each classroom into a custom space with adjusted scale, and sparsely place them into the entire site. As the entire site was made into a huge park, children can experience different activities in here.

“我们不断地讨论方案可行性，以验证设计效果。”
“We keep testing the feasibility of the project, negotiating the effect of design.”

V＋Lounge是一个很有意思很有挑战的项目。有意思是因为它是杭州难得的一块面向西湖高端会所，并且业主也希望设计能够越颠覆越好，有挑战是因为它是一个由办公楼改造成娱乐的项目，有诸多先天条件的限制。在这个项目中我们传承了“变化的曲面”的设计语言，利用变幻莫测的双曲面营造空间的神秘感和“水中穿越”的体验感。因为双曲面有较大的施工难度，在整个设计过程中，我们通过1：10的实体模型来验证方案的可行性，并加以灯光辅助，反复验证设计效果。

V＋lounge is a rather interesting and challenging project. It is interesting that it is one of the few lounges that directly facing to the Westlake in Hangzhou, and the client hope that the design could be as innovation as possible. The challenge part of it is that is a project for entertainment rebuilt from an office building, so it inherits many limitations from the very beginning. In this project we continue a design language calls “morphing curve surface” by using unpredictable double curvature to create the mystery of the space and the experience of “walking through water”. Because the construction of double curvature is rather difficult to execute, during the process of design, we tried 1:10 physical model to testify the feasibility of the project. With the help from artificial lighting, we are able to repetitively study the potential effect of our design.

“杭州之角所在的节点可谓城市重地。”
“The site of the Corner of Hangzhou could be the heart of the city.”

杭州之角的用地是杭州市中心最后的一块。用地处在西湖景观的把角，城市两条主干道和高架桥的节点，可谓城市重地。项目受到了场地很多的限制，包括旁边居民楼的限制，以及西湖景观的限高100米。但周边所有的楼都超过100米，我们并不希望项目淹没在高楼中，所以我们尝试把最初的两栋楼策略变成一栋大宽楼，最终让项目正面达到了100米×100米的体量，然后为了削减这种体量，我们在南侧和西南侧进行了斜切，这样既能联系场地流线，又能确保建筑70米以上的面直接望到西湖，同时也使得西南角的住宅区享受到更好的日照，采光，通风。杭州之角的建筑立面通过横向的遮阳板形成像纸张一样的效果，这种效果不光呼应业主的需求，同时在造型上实现局部撩起，跟室内空间进行结合指向城市节点。

The site of the Corner of Hangzhou is the last one in the downtown of Hangzhou. The site is located on the street corner of the Westlake scenery, and the juxtaposition between the two main roads the city and a viaduct. The project is limited many aspects of the site including the residential neighborhood besides it, and 100 meters height limit of the Westlake Scenery Area, but every building around it excesses this limit. We don’t want to let our project be obliviated among the jungle of high rising towers, so we try a approach that we change the initial two building into one larger one. Eventually the front façade of the building reach a dimension of 100 square meters. After that, in order to substract the volume, we diagonally cut the mass along the south and the south-west side so that not only does circulation of the site was put into the context, but also it ensures the façade above 70 metes face directly to the Xihu Lake. Meanwhile, that also allows the residential neighborhood enjoy a better sun-light and air circulation. The elevation of the Corner of Hangzhou achieves a paper-like effect by its horizontally arrayed sheding panels, which not only responde to the need of the client, but also achieve a partially lifted-up effect, and that corresponds with the interior spaces directing to the pivot of the city.

面面观之在零壹的一天
Overview: One day in LYCS

阮昊 Ruan hao

我每天过得挺不一样的，但其中有一个特点是，只要自己没躺在床上睡觉，都会以一种思考的方式去想一个问题，所以以一句话来说，我每天都是在思考当中度过的。

I live everyday differently, but each day shares a same factor: that is as long as I am not sleeping, I will always ponder something critically. Therefore, to sum up in one sentence, I spend my every moment of each day on contemplating.

詹远 Zhan Yuan

一天平均下来，我大概有两个小时是陪家人，两个小时在学习，三个小时是在工作或者学习的路上，四个小时是做一些跟公司管理相关的内容，五个小时睡觉，六个小时做跟项目相关的内容，其他时间就是吃饭、运动、休息等等。

Averagely, I spend two hours in a day being with my family, two hours learning, three hours in either learning or working, four hours doing something related to the management of the company, five hours sleeping.

何昱楼 He Yulou

一般每天会有三个小时用在项目会议，花两个小时做一些有意思的设计和思考，然后两个小时学习，其余的时间会做一些和自己爱好相关的事情和休息。

Normally I spend three hours each day on project meeting, two hours doing some interesting designs or thinking, then two hours studying, the rest of a day will be spent on doing thing my hobbies related and relaxing.

陈文彬 Chen Wenbin

每天大约有6到7个小时是设计和项目管理，然后两个小时时间是自我提升和学习，然后剩下的时间是陪伴家人。

I spend 6 to 7 hours each days for designing and management of projects, then two hours for self –improvement and studying, then I spent the rest of the days with my family.

面面观之眼中的零壹城市
Overview: What is LYCS in your eyes.

阮昊 Ruan hao

我眼中的零壹城市，是一支非常年轻而具有活力的设计团队，一直试图去寻找在城市当中的各种各样的问题，通过我们创新的方法去解决它。

The LYCS in my eyes is a youthful and energetic design team that always seeks to discover issues in cities and solve them by our innovations.

詹远 Zhan Yuan

我们有四个词作为我们的核心价值观，这四个词也是代表了我是怎么看零壹城市的，分别是愉悦、简约、轻盈和坦诚。愉悦就是我们做的设计，包括我们整个团队，希望能给人带来更多的快乐，而不是特别沉重或者让人感到压抑；简约是我们会去除不必要的装饰，去接近本质；轻盈不是说一个设计看起来特别轻，而是我们会寻找设计中的一个“甜蜜点”，在这个点上你可以用非常小的力气，去产生最大的效果；还有坦诚，就是无论我们做设计，包括他跟别人沟通，都是非常真诚和坦率的。

Four words I will use for our core value that represent how I view LYCS, which are pleasure, simplicity, lightness, and honesty. Pleasure is for the hope that the designs we do, including our entire team, bring happiness instead of heaviness or depression; simplicity is for the fact that we will eliminate unnecessary ornamentations to get closer to the essence of the design; lightness is not about the weight of a design, but about the point in our design that will generate the largest effect from the smallest effort; and honesty means that regard-less whether when we are doing designs or communicating with other people, we are always sincere and frank.

来震宇 Lai Zhenyu

我们一直在研究和关注：怎样通过设计改善年轻人的生活，使其更加舒适、更加有品质。与此同时，把项目的造价和成本降到最低，使更多的年轻人用相同的成本享受更美好的生活。

We have been researching and focusing our attentions on one issue: how to improve young people’s living via design so that they get more comfortable and more quality. Meanwhile, we try to reduce the budgets and prices of our projects to the lowest point so that more youngsters will enjoy better living with the same budgets.

陈文彬 Chen Wenbin

我们是一支年轻有激情的团队，这也是很多业主愿意选择我们的原因，就是因为我们的年轻所以我们并不会受到一些固有规则的束缚，并且我们还有创新能力。创新能力来自于我们的工作模式，我们并不是一个大师作坊，而是一个自下而上的创意体系，在这个体系里面，每个人都能充分发挥自己能力，充分表达自己的看法，只有这样好的想法和好的设计，才能够源源不断地涌现出来。我们另外一个特点是自我更新迭代的能力，我们并不会因为取得一些成就，而感到沾沾自喜固步自封，我们永远是将目光停留在问题和不足上面，每个人遇到事情我们都会尝试去更新，甚至是去颠覆自己原有的认知和理解，所以现在的我们和三年前的我们，已经发生了翻天覆地的变化。

We are a young and passionate team, and that is the reason why many clients are willing to choose us. That’s because we are young and not bounded by existing rules. We are also of creativity. This creativity comes from the working mode of us: we are not a star-architect studio but a bottom up creative system. Within this system, everyone can fully utilize his competence and express his own view. Only in a system like this, can good ideas and good design continuously emerge. Another quality of us is the capability of doing self-renewing: we won’t be contented on the achievement we have already accomplished and stop improving. We always keep our eyes on the drawbacks and issue. Everyone in our team try updating or even overturn his previous perceptions and understanding when encountering issues. Therefore, compared to what we were three years ago, we have challenged a lot.

面面观之看待全球化背景下的机遇和挑战
Overview: How we think about the challenges and opportunity globally.

阮昊 Ruan hao

我认为信息化带来的影响会远大于所谓的全球化和本土化，因为信息化本身所带来的连接，超越了地域性，而这种连接能够更快速地去融合并且去分辨出每一个地域的特点。所以我觉得我们应该对信息化去进行自己的思考。而我们一直认为设计的未来是一种微创新，设计的未来是设计模块和设计工具的组合。我觉得这种变革所带来的影响会远大于地域化和全球化所带来的影响。

I believe that the impacts of information technology is much more stronger than the so-called globalization or regionalization, because the connection of information technology it bring overcomes difference between regions. Such connection will fuse and distinct quality of each regions more swiftly. So I think we should exercise our own thoughts on information technology. We also believe that the future of designing is micro innovations, the future of design is the combination of design components and design tools. I believe that the impact of such change is way larger than the influence of regionalization or globalization.

▼以微小的错位对整体造成影响，influence the entity through small changes

詹远 Zhan Yuan

现在中国的城市环境正在经历剧变和洗牌，引发这种变化主要有三个原因：首先是我们整个的城市建设，由以前的大规模建设到现在的城市更新，也就是说我们不再有那么多全新的从一片白纸开始开发的项目，更多的是在既有的环境中，进行一种更新。第二个变化是技术的飞跃，计算机技术和算法的进步拓宽了我们认知的边界和避免了重复性劳动；云端协作让世界各地、不同专业的人能够跨越地理和时差形成团队共同进行一个项目；VR、AR和人工智能将会改变我们感知设计的方式。第三个变化，也是最重要的、是人的变化。我们现在的业主和使用者都越来越年轻化，而年轻化必然会带来三个升级：第一个是需求升级，设计不再是仅仅满足功能上的要求，设计要去创造更多的价值；第二个升级是审美升级，在未来仅仅把某种风格复制粘贴的设计将不会再有市场；第三个是体验升级，设计不再仅停留在好看或者好用的层面，而是它能够满足使用者什么需求、创造什么样的体验。

在这种变化下，未来的设计趋势一定会是：

第一种趋势是小而美+大平台。中国现在出现越来越多的小型事务所，这些小型公司规模不大但是各具个性和创新力，这样的团队在未来会越来越多。所谓的大平台是整合资源后的大型设计院，他们能把整个设计产业的上下游全都链接在一起。未来小而美的公司就像在大平台的航空母舰上一个个不同的战斗机，因为某个项目而组织协作在一起，完成之后又可以选择新的平台进行新的协作，就形成这样一个小而美跟大平台合作的新趋势。

第二种趋势，就是未来一定是具有创新性的设计才会有价值。现在我们进行的那些具有重复性、甚至具有一定技术性的工作，在未来会被计算机算法和人工智能轻松取代。而它们替代不了的是设计中创新和创造价值的部分。

第三个在我看来未来设计的新机遇，是设计的水平化，也就是设计领域的贯通和学科边界的打破。以前我们的设计更多以一种垂直划分的方式形成类别和壁垒，比如说建筑设计、室内设计，住宅建筑、办公建筑，等等，在不同的领域进行专业细分。未来设计的趋势是另一种维度的、以水平化的方式切分，而这种水平化是跟人相关。比如一个60多岁人跟一个20岁的人对住宅或者办公功能的需求是否会一样？这个需求一定是非常不同。因此人群带来的对于功能的需求差别，可能比由功能本身带来的差别更大。所以未来设计的边界将不再是垂直的，而会是水平的。设计要根据不同人群的需求进行设计，最终产生新的体验，新的功能，新的突破点。

The city environment of China is undergoing drastic changes and evolutions. There are three reasons that cause these changes: the first one is that the updating of our entire city is no longer based on development of projects from scratches, but updates based on existing contexts; the second change is the leaping of technology: the improvement of computer technology and algorithms expand the boundary of our perception and prevent us from doing repetitive labors; the cloud based cooperation makes people from different corner of the world, different background working on a same project as one team possible. VR, AR and artificial intelligence will change the way we perceive design. The third change, which is also the most important one, is the change of the people. Both our clients and users are getting younger and younger, and rejuvenation certainly will bring improvements in three aspects: the first one is the improvement of need: design has to create more value than merely satisfy the requirement of functions; the second improvement is the improvement of aesthetic: in the future, merely copying and pasting certain styles will never be recognized in the market; the third one is the improvement of experience: designing will no longer be just about appearance and function, but also about what kind of experience it brings to the users and what kind of need of the users it fulfills.

Under this change, the trend of future design must be:

The first trend is large platform + small and beautiful firms. China now emerges more and more small design firms. These small firms normally have their unique characters and creativity within a compact scale. In the future, this kind of firms will get more and more popular. The so-called large platform is the large design institutes after collecting enough resources. They can connect both the beginnings and ends in the design industry. The future small and beautiful companies will the role of different kinds of drones in the carriers of large platform. Small companies can organize and co-operate with each other for certain projects and find another platform for the new projects after the current ones are finished. And that emerges the trend of the co-operation between the intricate and large platform.

The second trend is that only designs of creativity will be valuable in the future. The repetitive jobs, even those with certain level of intelligence, will be easily replaced by computer algorithms and artificial intelligence in the future. And the parts that they cannot replace are the creative and value-creating parts of designs.

I think the third new opportunity in the future is the horizontalization of design, which means to link the profession in design industry to knowledge in other domains. In the past we divide different aspects of design into different categories, say, architectural design, interior design, residential architecture, and office building architecture, etc. Boundaries are created vertically within the design industry. The future of design will happen in another level of dimension, and separate horizontally, which is related to the people. For instance, we will ask whether a person in his/her sixty share the same requirement for residential house and office building to a person in his/her twenty. The answer will be that it must be very different. Therefore, the contrasts of needs that are brought from different people maybe larger than the differences between buildings with different programs. Therefore, the boundary of future design will no longer be made vertically but horizontally. The design will be based on different demography and created new experiences, new functions, and new breakthroughs.

在全球化的背景下，设计的更新发生着日新月异的变化，年轻化的事务所也如同雨后春笋般涌现。在这种背景下，我们持续以自我总结、自我迭代、自我更新、自我否定为前提进行创新。

Under the circumstance of globalization, the updating of designs changes drastically. Firms led by younger generations are emerging in a unbelievable speed. Under such background, we are continuously doing self-judgment, self- evolution, self-updating and self- rejection to guide our design.

我们的创新能力就是我们的核心竞争力。目前我们并不会操之过急，而是扎根杭州，立足中国，然后再放眼世界。

The core competiveness of us is our creative capacity. Right now, we will rather establish a decent foundation in Hangzhou and the whole China before looking into the world instead of hastily expanding.
