项目摘要

This project examines and reinvigorates the playful tradition/techniques of the pop-up book as a new critical/creative tool in urban design/research. Each turn of the page enacts a critical moment of simultaneous construction/demolition and it is possible to consider the pop-up book and urban regeneration as analogous, using pop-up techniques to reinterpret a changing urban landscape, specifically the London 2012 Olympics site. The project re-defines the pop-up book focusing on its role as a 'structure of enchantment'(Montanero 93). Conventional history of the pop-up involves study of its instructional and entertainment formats, but my emphasis is on its lineage in mythical storytelling through which the structures of fairytales are built. The particular myth or 'structure of enchantment' examined and critiqued here is the utopian myth of progress inherent in the 'Olympic Story' as a large-scale urban regeneration project. Pop-up books are referred to as 'living models', 'moveable books' or 'metamorphoses' (Haining 79), through which narrative/structural animation take place. This project draws on my film and animation experience to develop the pop-up genre beyond conventional formats, exploring and comparing the temporal and narrational structures of the book with those of urban space. The pop-up form enables the visualisation of progress as ruin inspired by artist Robert Smithson's notion of 'Ruins in Reverse' (67) in which 'buildings don't fall into ruin after they are built but rather rise into ruin before they are built.' He describes the dilapidated 'Hotel Palenque'(69) as the ultimate form of this-structure undergoing constant and simultaneous decay and renovation. Because structures literally rise and fall with the turn of a page, the pop-up book is the optimum medium through which to explore the entropic aspects of a specific urban landscape undergoing ruination/renewal. Using this collapsible modelling technique I critique the idealised future projections of conventional architectural models, exposing the mechanisms of change and creating an unsettled landscape on the brink of major transformation. The fellowship's conceptual and practical timeframe follows the 3 stages of construction time (Olympic site built), event time (Olympics staged) and unfolding time (legacy begins). The notions of legacy and potential are key, as from ancient Olympia to a multi-layered industrial East End site this project looks at a history/understanding of ruination (Ginsberg 04,Picon 00,Makarius 04) as potential-opening up possibilities of change and alternative imagined futures.A series of 3 animated books (artefacts) finalised in 1 Olympic volume will be produced which aim to counteract/intervene in the effect of tabula-rasa urbanism-animating a structural landscape from visions of the past/present/future of this zone. The pages of these books comprise theatrical installations or 'constructed situations' built out of local histories/stories, documentation and projections, presenting a panoramic and choreographic view of the site's 'before','after' and 'in-between'. A further co-authored publication ('Structuring Enchantment') and conference will explore the parallel construction processes at work in the making of both books and site and examine the unfolding time of legacy. I choose to continue my interdisciplinary engagement with the London 2012 Games using the familiar and playful pop-up book medium to engage diverse audiences and collaborators from academia to local communities. I will explore/disseminate the stories and issues surrounding the Olympic site and legacy through workshops/seminars and the production and public launch/exhibition of the pop-up books and final 'making of' publication and conference. Reinventing the boundaries of a low-tech medium I combine the site-specific approach of my urban research practice with advanced model and animation skills to investigate this high-profile and contested regeneration site.

这个项目考察并重振了弹出式书籍的有趣传统/技术，作为城市设计/研究中的一个新的批判性/创造性工具。每翻一页都是同时建设/拆除的关键时刻，可以将弹出式书籍和城市重建视为类比，使用弹出式技术重新解释不断变化的城市景观，特别是2012年伦敦奥运会场址。该项目重新定义了弹出式书籍，将重点放在了它作为“魔法结构”(Montanero 93)的角色上。弹出式游戏的传统历史涉及到对其教学和娱乐形式的研究，但我强调的是它在神话故事中的血统，童话故事的结构是通过它来构建的。这里所审视和批判的特殊神话或“魅力结构”，是“奥林匹克故事”作为一个大规模的城市重建项目所固有的进步的乌托邦神话。弹出式书籍被称为“活生生的模型”、“可移动的书籍”或“变形书”(海宁79)，通过它们发生叙事/结构动画。这个项目利用我的电影和动画经验，开发超越传统格式的弹出式体裁，探索并比较书中的时间和叙事结构与城市空间的结构。这种弹出式的形式使人们能够将进展可视化为废墟，灵感来自艺术家罗伯特·史密森(Robert Smithson)的“反向废墟”概念(67)，其中“建筑物不会在建成后变成废墟，而是在建成之前就变成废墟”。他将破败的“帕伦克酒店”(69)描述为这种建筑的终极形式--结构经历了持续的、同时的衰败和翻新。因为建筑物确实是随着页面的翻转而起伏的，所以这本弹出式书籍是探索经历破坏/更新的特定城市景观的熵方面的最佳媒介。使用这种可折叠的建模技术，我批评了传统建筑模型的理想化的未来预测，揭示了变化的机制，并创造了一个处于重大变革边缘的不稳定的景观。该奖学金的概念性和实践性时间框架遵循3个阶段：建设时间(奥运场地建设)、活动时间(奥运会举办)和展开时间(遗产开始)。遗产和潜力的概念是关键，因为从古代奥林匹亚到多层工业东区遗址，这个项目着眼于对废墟的历史/理解(金斯伯格04，皮肯00，马卡里乌斯04)，作为潜在的-打开了改变和另类想象的未来的可能性。将制作一系列3本动画书(文物)，旨在抵消/干预塔库拉-拉萨都市主义的影响-从该地区过去/现在/未来的愿景中创造出一个结构景观。这些书籍的页面包括戏剧装置或由当地历史/故事、文件和投影构建的“构造情景”，呈现了该网站的“之前”、“之后”和“中间”的全景和编排视图。另一份联合出版的出版物(《结构魅力》)和会议将探索书籍和遗址制作过程中的平行建设过程，并审查遗产的展开时间。我选择继续我对2012年伦敦奥运会的跨学科参与，使用熟悉和有趣的弹出式书籍媒介来吸引从学术界到当地社区的不同观众和合作者。我将通过工作坊/研讨会、制作和公开发行/展览快闪书籍以及最终的出版和会议，探索/传播围绕奥运场址和遗产的故事和问题。我重塑了低技术媒介的边界，将我的城市研究实践的特定地点方法与先进的模型和动画技术相结合，调查了这个备受瞩目和有争议的再生地点。
