Project statement / English
This project originates from an interior design proposal for the adaptive reuse of Chatham Dockyard, a former naval shipyard shaped by layered industrial and military histories. Shifting from architectural design to photography and installation, the project draws on Michel Foucault’s concept of heterotopia, approaching the dockyard as a space where multiple temporalities and functions coexist.
Using small paper boat models combined with projected architectural drawings and archival imagery, the work constructs a speculative model-space. Informed by Jean Baudrillard’s notion of simulation, photography captures moments where model, projection, and physical site collapse into a single image, presenting the dockyard as an unstable space suspended between historical reality and imagined futures.
项目介绍 / 中文
这个项目始于一份关于查塔姆船坞适应性再利用的室内设计提案。这里曾是一座海军造船厂，工业与军事的历史层层叠加，留在同一片场地之中。后来，项目从建筑设计转向摄影与装置。我借助“异托邦”的概念，重新看待这个地方：不同的时间与功能，如何在同一空间并存。
纸船模型、投影中的建筑图纸与档案影像，共同搭起一个想象中的模型空间。摄影捕捉它们彼此交叠的时刻：模型、投影与真实场地仿佛落进同一幅画面，边界也随之变得不再稳定。于是，船坞像是停在两处之间——一边是留下痕迹的历史现实，一边是尚未到来的想象未来。
