The Purpose of this gathering is to illustrate and confront different contemporary points of view on the constantly moving city of Shanghai. The conference will address the question of how to express a personal feeling and understanding of the world around us, through a chosen media, be it an object, a video or a sentence. The intention is also to undertake contemporary problems inspired by the slogan: ”Better City, Better Life”, such as ecology, are cities compatible with natural systems? Or, cultural heritage, how can we preserve our specificities?

The conference target will be the general public, more specifically, the students participating in the STREET MADE Design Workshop.

Conclusion

01. INTRODUCTION

Some say «Shanghai is not China». Some say Shanghai is the city of the future.

Shanghai is a contemporary city, a city in perpetual movement, building up and out day and night. The population, the architecture, the cuisine, illustrate the superimposition and accumulation of past and present influences.

Shanghai is a mix between ancient and new, between skyscrapers and traditional houses, between cars and bicycles. The city is filled with contrasts which provoke both a charming and uncomfortable feeling, projecting its beauty and strength.

The population of Shanghai takes over the streets and fills them with sounds, movements and objects. Some people work in the streets to earn money. To live, people develop their own tools, they develop street design, design to survive. They make their everyday life objects to cook, cut, sew, transport. Hybrid objects are exhibited in the streets, accumulated, stacked, assembled with function as only concern.

02.CONTENT

Shanghaï street made aims to show the city today: a precarious equilibrium, by putting forward the contrasts which create the energy and the unique atmosphere of this vibrant city.

The work focuses on four main aspects:

- INSPIRATIONAL RESSOURCE FOR CREATIVITY in all artistic fields. The goal of this project is to create applications, which witness our time through the analysis of systems created by the language of Shanghai street furniture.

- HISTORICAL APPROACH since its goal is to show today’s era, to freeze a moment of history in continuous change.

- ECOLOGICAL APPROACH since the players themselves apply a process involving material recuperation and recycling.

- SOCIAL APPROACH as we observe the skills developed by the people in need in order to complete their everyday actions: earn money, eat, clean…

01. 介绍

有人说上海不属于中国，她是一个电影《银翼杀手 Blade Runner》中的那个属于未来的超级都市。
上海是一座极具当代性的大都市，各个时代风格迥异的建筑与来自世界不同地域的人们相聚在此，直至今日仍然日夜兼程地堆砌这个非凡的工程。
上海是一个新潮与陈旧、高楼与棚户、跑车与自行车的混合体，这种高度的反差同时也产生令人敬畏的力量与美混合的魅力。
上海的居民独特的生活设计美学渗入他们生活的各个层面：
一些人为了生存努力赚钱，由此“设计”出种种好用的、奇特的物品和工具，用自己的方式对废弃物进行回收再生创造。

02. 内容

上海“街头制造”计划是展示变动中的“现在进行时”，在不确定中寻找平衡，是对这个不断生长中的独特城市的各种对立问题的探讨。本计划主要集中探讨四个方面的价值：

创意新思维：本计划通过对上海街区本身自存的创意美学系统分析，建立一种独特的创意语言；
历史见证：本计划重构这个独特时代的见证：是对一个即将消逝的变革时代的致敬；
生态学意义：可回收再生的生活态度具有生态学意义；
社会学意义：本计划通过对上海居民基本生活的细致观察：吃饭、洗衣服、赚钱……
