PATH BIFURCATION 小径分岔

The design draws its inspiration from Borges's "The Garden of Forking Paths," embodying the concept of making choices within space. It starts with the spaces between solid masses, which naturally form a network of branching paths, resembling alleyways. These are then enhanced by deliberate sculpting to create semi-open, duct-like spaces that offer a three-dimensional experience. To finalize the design, these artificially created spaces are outlined with a lattice of hollow grids, setting them apart from the original gaps and establishing a clear hierarchy between the primary and secondary elements.

设计名称源于博尔赫斯的小说,“小径分岔”意味着一种对空间的选择。作为基础,实体体块之间的间隙形成了诸多分岔的巷道形空间;进而通过人为切削,塑造更具三维体验感的半开放管道型空间;最后以镂空网格表皮标识人为切削而出的空间,与原本的缝隙空间加以区分,形成主次关系。
