Statement

重塑之亭》是一场关于塑料再造与价值重塑的常设展。它构筑了一个向所有人——学生、员工乃至更多群体——开放的半私密空间：人们可在此短暂休憩，或探索如何将塑料袋再造为一枚耳饰。此空间主要供食堂团队在漫长工时中放松身心，同时也旨在提升公众对塑料废弃物的认知。

Project Involvement

本项目源自Marcela Godoy教授主持的“中国再造”课程，致力于探索将废弃材料或产品转化为崭新且有价值之物的创新路径。通过小组协作服务特定中国社区，我们的目标是推出一套可持续的解决方案，为在地社区创造积极的社会效益，同时教育公众并提升其环保意识。我们的最终产品与原型均可被社区居民复刻，并有望推广至其他社区。

项目宗旨
《重塑之亭》是一项实验性计划，旨在将环境议题认知与社区服务实践相融合。项目首先直面塑料过度废弃的严峻现实——其污染后果将持续数百年，对地球生态与生命体造成长期伤害。团队通过举办"垃圾或珍宝"主题展览提升公众意识，为此后探索塑料废弃物的解决方案、服务Sproutworks食堂员工群体奠定了实践基础。
在明确问题本质与材料特性后，项目着力改善食堂员工在长时间轮班中缺乏适当休憩的困境。由于缺少专属休息空间，他们的日常工作面临额外不便。通过深度访谈与原型测试，我们最终研发了隔断屏风与DIY手工坊原创设计方案，旨在将B1层食堂角落转化为能让员工在重复劳作后舒适小憩的治愈空间。
更进一步，《重塑之亭》作为常设展陈空间，持续展示塑料再造的多元可能。它向全校师生开放，既传递塑料循环利用的环保理念，也倡导关注社区群体的互助意识。在这个为关怀而构筑的空间里，人们既可观赏由塑料蜕变的精巧制品，也能阅读我们服务社区的真实故事，感受善意编织的温度。

塑料隔断屏风

原型与技法 >

隔断需满足模块化与易复制的特性。我们实验了不同的塑料编织技法，最终选定利用建筑工地回收塑料条的“华夫格”编织法，因其兼具卓越稳定性与低材料、时间成本的优势。

常设展览——空间的多元使用可能

塑料手作工作坊 >

《重塑之亭》为Sproutworks员工开辟了一处崭新的休憩空间，同时通过展示塑料再造的多元方式，在校园内推广可持续文化。我们设计了一系列DIY手作工坊，不仅提供将废弃塑料袋转化为美观实用物品的独特方法，更成功激发了社区成员的兴趣，为他们的工作环境注入了别样的活力。这一项目蕴藏着广阔的可能性：与食堂员工及学生共同举办工坊、发起学生社团活动等。然而，最大的挑战也在于此：我们需要持续创造更多样化的设计，吸引更广泛的参与和关注，提升公众环保意识，并深度联动学生社团以实现持久影响力。
