由郑默女士和马丁·米勒教授 (美) 于2015年创立, 总部设在纽约和北京, 是一个富有创作激情的国际化团队。工作室善于以集成化的参数化设计和数字建造为手段, 主张自然仿生及绿色生态的设计理念, 注重科技与艺术的结合, 并重视创新设计、尖端材料、工艺和科技的运用。

　　 MaoHaus是一个实验性的建筑立面, 目的在于探索历史文脉、材料的潜力、新的制造技术和特性在建筑中的体现。延续胡同的建筑尺度和简单的山墙形式, 新的建筑立面仿佛是进入胡同空间的一块流动的织物。这种流动性是通过常规的刚性材料来表达的, 以形式化的表达来质疑对物质的固有认知。除了起伏的造型, 表面的孔洞有助于滤光。在白天, 自然光线穿过孔洞进入前庭;在晚上, 精确调谐的光圈又呈现出毛主席的三联原型肖像。由于项目位于北京市中心的胡同小巷, 毗邻人民美术出版社, 这个车间曾经是毛主席现在标志性形象的主要制作地之一, 因此毛主席像在立面的艺术表达是对基地历史文脉的延续。

　　 立面结构利用超高强纤维混凝土的材料创造出新的建筑形式。4~7m高、2m宽和仅仅7cm厚的六个独立面板跨越立面形成外观, 未使用任何辅助结构或支持。每个面板作为一个单元体, 由大型数控塑造的模具完成。通过数字生成的流体动力学算法, 薄壁多孔曲面的曲率更能有效地将结构荷载传递到地基上。

　　 除减少整体结构的重量外, 横跨表面的孔洞阵列在设计中扮演了数个角色, 不仅是对图像和历史文脉的表达, 也是作为在狭小的胡同空间内与观者互动的一种手段。参观者在胡同里将得到非常不同的体验, 取决于他们的相对位置和访问时间。这也成为了设计的一个亮点:从正立面观看是一种图像嵌入的平面化外立面, 从其他角度观看则是流动的条幅在时间凝固时的不同状态。

　　 MaoHaus寻求在单独的设计表达中探索各种元素。通过新的材料创新, 该项目将传统建筑材料的表达推到了极致。为寻求多元化的设计, MaoHaus综合了材料极限、数字化定制和计算生成, 同时也实现了历史符号的衍生和基地文脉的表达。

　　 MaoHaus is an experimental façade piece exploring historical context, material potentials, novel fabrication and performative qualities within architecture.Taking the simple frame and edge condition of the existing structure, the façade enters the space of the hutong as a flowing fabric.This fluidity is expressed through the conventionally rigid material of con-crete questioning inherent perceptions of materiality through formal expression.Beyond the undulating form, the perforations of the surface serve to filter light, during the day, rays of sunlight enter the vestibule, and at night the precisely tuned apertures reveal a triptych of Chairman Mao’s prototypical portrait.The expression of Chairman Mao within the façade is a nod to the historical context of the site.The work is located in a Hutong alley in central Beijing adjacent to The People’s Art House Print Shop, this workshop was once one of the primary producers of the Chairman’s now iconic image.

　　 The structure of the façade leverages the material properties of ultra-high performance con-crete to create novel architectural form.Ranging from 4to 7 meters in height, 2 meters wide and a mere 7 centimeters thick, the 6 individual panels span the façade without the need for any substructure or support.Each panel is cast as a single unit from large CNC milled molds.Computationally generated through fluid-dynamics algorithms, the curvature of the thin porous surface serves to more efficiently carry the loads of the structure to the foundation.

　　 The array of apertures across the surface play several roles within the design, removal of weight for structural integrity, expression of imagery and historical context and also as a means of interacting with the user within the tight space of the hutong alley.In unison with the curvilinear surface, the apertures align themselves to a particular region in the space.Visitors to the site will experience and interact with the façade very differently depending on their relative position as well as time of visit.From certain vantages, the façade is per-ceptibly flattened revealing the embedded image, while from other points it may read as flowing banner frozen in time.

　　 MaoHaus seeks to explore various elements of deign within a singular expression.Looking to new material innovation the façade pushes the limits of what may be achieved from seemingly conventional architectural materials.Seeking a multifaceted design, MaoHaus exists as a synthesis of material properties, customized computational tooling and genera-tion with historical reference, context and expression.
