This is an office park in shanghai, and its public square was surrounded by four buildings. To make people feel released and free when coming out of the buildings, an outdoor furniture was built inside the square. The whole place is like an outdoor lobby. In this case the public square in the middle matches up with outdoor while lobby corresponding indoor. It’s a blend. 

在上海這處辦公園區內，屬于公共空間的廣場四周矗立四棟固定的建筑，而在廣場上，搭建一件“室外家具”，便使人們走出建筑來到廣場時，在建筑里被固化的行為在廣場上獲得釋放和變通。整個空間像是四棟辦公樓之間的一個“室外的大堂”，廣場場地對應“室外”，大堂對應“室內”，二者在此交融。

The project is something art setting. The entire work is conducted under an architectural way but not necessarily lead to an answer so architectural.

這是一個屬于藝術裝置類的項目，用建筑的工作方法，完成一個未必是建筑的答案。

The furniture holds a variety of behavior. People could work, rest, do group discussion. Based on the idea, long table was built. Long table is a quite unique item. In some villages, the custom of long table banquet remains still. People gather at a long table, eating and chatting, and it could last a few days or a week. In the scene, the setting of table and chairs is relatively fixed, but free combination of food, guests and human activities.

圍繞這件“家具”，人們可以進行辦公、休息、小范圍的討論等活動，它承載了多種行為的可能性。基于這個想法，“長桌”被建造出來。長桌其實是比較特別的物件，在一些鄉村，至今還保留著長桌宴的習俗，人們聚集在長桌旁，吃喝、聊天，而宴席往往持續幾天或者一周。位置和桌椅固定著，流動的是食物、客人、聊天的內容、活動等等。

In this project, the width of long table equals to the diameter of the stool which is 360mm. And it just meets the needs of placing a laptop. When the table height changes, it is easy to find a place to sit comfortably. When standing, people could find a right height to lean on, enjoying coffee. It also could be a perfect outdoor place for a small workshop. Long table presents mildly winding with its up and downs. People gets indoor co-working experience in this outdoor square.

在“廣場長桌”的設計中，桌子的寬度采納與凳子相同的尺度——360毫米，而這又正好滿足一個人使用筆記本電腦需要的地方。隨著桌子高度變化，它可以被當作凳子；可以作為桌子供單人使用筆記本電腦辦公；也有配合人站著使用的高度部分，可以四五個人站著進行小范圍討論、聊天、喝咖啡等活動。其外觀形態呈現蜿蜒轉圜、高低起伏。在室外的廣場讓人獲得在室內合作辦公的體驗。

Long table is made from common terrazzo. Especially combing with stainless steel, it guarantees practicality. And by touch of it, a sense of familiarity triggers because both material and the craft adopted is quite traditional. After Long table is set, trees join and they become part of the space. The greenery serves both as sunshade and gathering area for people.

材料的使用上，采納常見的水磨石，傳統的材料和工藝讓人產生熟悉感覺。將水磨石與不銹鋼結合，既保證了實用性，又使人們在接觸到熟悉的材料時感到溫暖。長桌搭建完成，樹木加入其中，成為空間的一部分，既提供遮陽功能，又可作為人的聚集點。

All the connection of plants, venue, and buildings are integrated by long table. And it also serves people for its physical function. Individuals finds his own location here. What’s more, individuals with their separated position links to integrity. Architecture and nature is treated with equivalent.

通過“長桌”處理植物與場地、與建筑之間的聯系，同時它又是為人服務的，滿足一般桌子的所有功能。個體的人在這里找到自己的一個位置，而多個“個體行為+獨立位置”連結起來，成為整體。建筑和自然被對等地對待。
