插件更新城：废旧模型的再生城市，第19届威尼斯双年展 / 众建筑

 

 

当前城市经历着快速变迁——无休止的扩张、资源分配不均与发展失衡，使得中国及世界多地出现建筑景观破碎、空间失联甚至废弃的状况。面对这种转变，关键问题不再是建造更多，而是如何善用现有资源。众建筑正致力于探索如何将闲置空间与废弃建筑转化为城市再生的起点。

 

An era of rapid urban change, marked by relentless expansion, spatial inequality, and uneven development, has left many cities around the world fragmented, disconnected, or abandoned. As unchecked growth reaches a turning point, the question is no longer how to build more, but how to work intelligently with what already exists. People’s Architecture Office (PAO) responds to this shift by exploring how leftover spaces and obsolete structures can become catalysts for reactivation and regeneration.

第19届威尼斯建筑双年展中国馆策展人为马岩松， 策展以“容·智慧”（CO-EXIST）为主题。众建筑回应本次展览主题，重新构想了未来城市发展的全新图景。展区中央是一座构想中的城市模型，它由来自全国各地的废弃建筑模型拼合而成。这些被拯救的碎片组合成既充满想象又真实可信的城市图景，既承载着过去发展带来的空间影响，也折射出当下的现实矛盾。这个模型不代表任何具体城市，而是对普遍存在的碎片化现状的一种呈现。在这片城市图景中，绿色3D打印物件标注展示了”插件”策略的实际应用：在既有建筑内嵌入新结构，在现有空间上下加建新体量，通过连接构件创造新的活动路径与使用方式。

For Co-exist, the China Pavilion exhibition at the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale curated by Ma Yansong, PAO assembled a model of a speculative city made from discarded architectural models collected across China. These salvaged fragments are collaged into a fictional yet contextually grounded urban landscape that embodies the spatial consequences of past development and the contradictions of the present. Rather than depicting a single place, the model forms an imagined composite, a city of fragments. Within this terrain, interventions highlighted in green illustrate plugin strategies drawn from PAO’s real-world work: buildings inserted within buildings, new volumes added above or below existing structures, and connective elements that introduce new forms of circulation, infrastructure, and occupation.

周围展出的城乡实践案例，展示了该系统的广泛适应性。这些建成项目能够应对不同的环境条件与文化背景，将荒废场所转变为服务社区的活力空间。展区左侧通过一个分解模型，清晰展示了插件系统的组装逻辑。采用带卡锁的插件板，仅需单一工具即可快速组装，非专业人员也能胜任。这套系统既支持规模化生产，又能灵活适应不同场地的需求。这些实践都依托于众建筑研发的轻质预制建造系统——”插件系统”。与传统推倒重来不同，该系统注重顺应现有条件，通过精准、轻干预的方式为闲置空间注入新活力。

 

Renew City Plugins is presented alongside examples of built Plugin projects in both urban and rural contexts. These interventions are made possible by the Plugin System, a lightweight prefabricated construction method developed by PAO and produced by the Plugin House Company, a PAO spinoff. Instead of treating sites as blank slates, Plugins adapt to existing conditions, providing precise, low-impact architectural solutions that reenergize overlooked spaces.

该概念项目倡导的不是大拆大建，而是秉持再生理念：创造性利用现有资源，通过精准介入激活存量空间。这座构想城市既是一种隐喻，也是一个试验场，向我们展示：在现有条件限制下，同样能够创造出更具韧性、更加包容的城市未来。

 

▼模型收集-拆解与组装，Model collection – disassembly and assembly

 

 

 

Rather than advocating demolition or standardized redevelopment, the project proposes a regenerative approach rooted in creative reuse, architectural remnants, and strategic insertion. The speculative city becomes both metaphor and testing ground, illustrating how more resilient and inclusive futures can emerge by working within the constraints and opportunities of what is already there.

插件家系列项目，也同时在威尼斯美国馆与米兰三年展中展出。第19届威尼斯建筑双年展美国馆由彼得·麦基思（Peter MacKeith）、苏珊·秦（Susan Chin）和罗德·比格洛（Rod Bigelow）为策展人，展览主题为“门廊：慷慨之建筑”（PORCH: An Architecture of Generosity）；2025米兰三年展由斯坦法诺·博埃里（Stefano Boeri）和 尼娜·巴索利（Nina Bassoli）为策展人，展览主题为“不平等“（Inequalities）。

 

Plugin House projects are also featured at the U.S. Pavilion of the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale in Porch: An Architecture of Generosity, curated by Peter MacKeith, Susan Chin, and Rod Bigelow, and at the 2025 Milan Triennale in Inequalities, curated by Stefano Boeri and Nina Bassoli.
