上海外滩美术馆 Rockbund Art Museum

外滩建筑节（RAM assembles）是上海外滩美术馆发起的双年展项目，以建筑思考为核心，旨在探索建筑在塑造公共空间的过程中不断演变的角色。项目由馆长及首席策展人朱筱蕤构想并主导，首届外滩建筑节于2023年举办，以纪念洛克·外滩源项目的竣工，以及美术馆新大门与博物院广场的启用。

每届建筑节邀请一位建筑师或建筑思想家担任艺术总监，委托其为洛克·外滩源街区，特别是美术馆的露天入口——博物院广场——设计建筑介入作品，并策划一系列激活街区空间的公共活动。

朱筱蕤邀请曼谷建筑事务所all(zone)担任外滩建筑节2025艺术总监。以“上海野餐”为主题，all(zone)构想了一个灵活、开放的框架，在欢聚、创造与生态意识中重新激活未被充分利用的城市空间。项目借助轻量化可循环的搭建结构与适应性的公共项目，邀请上海的市民与访客以建筑师与设计师无法预见的即兴方式重新定义城市空间中的生活。


同一片天空下，共聚庇护之所

all(zone)设计的“同一片天空下，共聚庇护之所”奠定了“上海野餐”的基调。它呈现的并非传统意义上的建筑，而是一处庇护所——这是最为克制的建筑语言：简单的屋顶带来片刻阴凉、提供亲密感，让人们在共同空间中感受连接与欢愉。

它轻盈地悬浮于广场之上，为城市地表带来一丝柔软，也在露天场域中勾勒出一间有人情温度的“房间”。色彩明快、形态俏皮的结构，为城市注入温暖与好奇心，吸引人们前来停歇、交流、聚会与思考。它从“野餐”这一灵感出发，形成一处短暂而开放的公共场所——非正式、具灵活性，由参与者共同构成，容纳集体在场的可能。虽然只是短期呈现，但它可重复使用，整体设计轻盈、充满希望，且兼顾可持续性。“同一片天空下”不强加单一功能，而是邀请多种可能：聚会、休憩、表演、交谈——城市的日常节奏赋予其意义。如同野餐，它短暂而灵活，由到来的参与者及他们所带来的事物共同定义。它的设计并非追求永恒，而在于重复使用与共享——呈现建筑最轻盈、最慷慨的状态。

“同一片天空下”的篷顶周围呈现了四件城市介入项目，均在公开征集中以其对公共生活、气候韧性与文化记忆的深刻探索脱颖而出。每一个项目都提供独特视角，展示了亚洲及其他地区快速发展的城市如何通过社区、叙事与日常仪式被重新想象。

“触摸凉廊”

大卫·奇普菲尔德建筑事务所于2021年改造上海美丰洋行大楼时，在其侧立面增设了一道拱廊。“触摸凉廊”是基于这道拱廊的重新构想：一条低矮狭长的步道从面朝圆明园路的一扇封闭窗口“生长”而出，蜿蜒穿行于障碍物之间，最终占据并延展拱廊空间。这一临时构筑物作为真正意义上的社区空间唤醒了拱廊未被实现的公共潜力。步道与既有建筑保持着审慎的距离：二者足够亲近以产生对话，却绝不强加干预。在这个充满张力的间隙中，被遗忘的拱廊以静默姿态舒展——让未竟的构想变得可视，勾勒出可能存在过的轮廓，最终在曾经的缺席之处，留出一方可供徘徊的场所。

切线（Tangent Essays）是一个写作和设计实践并举的研究型团队。切线关心建筑和所有建筑声称、曾经声称或仍未声称的与其相牵连的领域，以及这些牵连本身。切线的成员包括安太然、罗旋、苏畅、王一凡、魏铭路、左嬴。

“温柔的回归”

本项目将人们忽视的小巷变为一片柔软的栖息地。苔藓覆盖的小丘缓缓浮现，仿佛时间放慢脚步；它们柔化巷道的硬朗边界，暗示一个不再急于前行的世界。这里弥漫着一种平静的侵蚀感、一种安静的颓美——仿佛城市终于吐出一口气，自然趁机缓缓渗透回来。

“温柔的回归”邀请人们停下脚步、仰躺休憩，或什么也不做。与城市的急速节奏形成鲜明对比，这里是一个静止的瞬间、都市节奏中的柔软插曲，建筑与自然的界限逐渐模糊。一片绿色的宁静沉淀而下，一种更古老、更具人性温度的东西悄然浮现。

蔚魄（Studio Vapore）是一家位于北京的小型设计事务所，工作内容涵盖建筑、室内、产品和平面设计。团队喜欢在不同领域之间穿梭，以有趣又认真的方式探索空间的可能性。事务所的项目从校园图书馆到公共装置，再到日常用品，类型多样，但始终关注一个问题：如何使空间让人感到更自在、更好奇，或者更愿意和他人产生链接。

“向上的水管”

工作建筑工作室将公共饮用水重新引入公共场地，唤回其在上海城市生活中的历史角色。公共水站作为关怀举动曾是市民生活与社区互助的重要部分，如今“向上的水管”再次以坦诚的姿态，赞美由水带来的分享与欢聚。

“向上的水管”也是对后工业时代基础设施、生产流程、空间关系等命题的回应。该方案尝试推动“被支配的空间”到“被取用的空间”的转化，让基础设施回归“可被真实使用”的状态——通过将水管从墙体中解放，赋予其物质性与仪式感；免费接水在此超越功能价值，促使人们在管道交错的间隙中孵化新型邻里关系。技术不再是支配与管控，而是成为建立人与城市关系的触点和通道。

工作建筑工作室（WWWorks）2024年成立于上海，是一间融合实践与研究的建筑工作室。其创始成员吴治达、王启泓，具有跨学科的教育背景以及多年的实践和教学经验。工作建筑工作室的工作尺度涵盖城市、建筑、室内、展览和产品，以求在不同视角下考察设计对象与本地文脉的互动关系，畅想公共空间、社会生产和生态系统的新联系。

“漫游之路”

“漫游之路”的四辆推车借鉴泰国文化中大胆的色彩元素，车体装饰精选中国网络市场的各类瓷砖，承载泰中传统动态交织的文化。每辆推车都有独特的“身份”，又共同组成了一组连贯且充满嘉年华气息的雕塑装置。

就实用功能而言，推车协助活动的后勤工作，提供茶饮、信息咨询以及舒适物品的借用。同时，它们又折射出泰中两种文化如何适应、重叠并重塑共享的实践，如摊贩文化、非正式休憩、茶道仪式和流动商业。推车在移动与静止之间转换，营造出不同的相遇节奏——供人停留、接受和反思的场所，共同构成了一种轻盈、可变且细致入微的关怀型基础设施。

炼金室建筑事务所（Alkhemist Architects）相信，“多元中的流动性”能够促成更美好的社会。设计不仅是一种美学实践，更是促进互动、交流与相互学习的实用工具。从流动摊车到城市庭院，炼金室建筑事务所致力于营造能够支持日常生活的空间，使差异能够共存、交汇并演化。

此外，一系列相呼应的公共项目将激活这些建筑结构，邀请人们以出乎建筑师与设计师预料的方式重新定义城市空间的栖居体验。五十余场活动同样由公开征集遴选，形式涵盖对谈、表演、露天放映与工作坊。美食、社群仪式和集体叙事将一齐为上海的居民和访客创造出一片倾听、交流与共建的场域——同时带来纯粹的乐趣。

RAM assembles is the Rockbund Art Museum’s (RAM) biennial festival of architectural thinking. Conceived and led by X Zhu-Nowell, the museum’s Executive Director and Chief Curator, the initiative explores architecture’s evolving role in shaping public space. The first edition was launched in 2023, celebrating the completion of the ROCKBUND construction project and the opening of the museum’s new entrance and Museum Plaza.

For each edition, an architect is appointed as the Artistic Director and tasked with developing a site-specific intervention in the ROCKBUND neighborhood, focusing on the open-air Museum Plaza. In addition to this spatial intervention, the Artistic Director curates a series of public programs that activate the broader ROCKBUND neighborhood.

For the 2025 edition, Zhu-Nowell has invited all(zone), a Bangkok-based architectural practice led by Rachaporn Choochuey, to serve as Artistic Director. Their concept of “Shanghai Picnic” proposes a flexible, open-ended framework that reactivates underused urban spaces through conviviality, creativity, and ecological awareness. By introducing light and reusable built structures and adaptive programs, RAM assembles invites Shanghai's citizens and visitors to redefine how urban space can be experienced—often in improvisational ways which architects and designers cannot fully predict.

Under a Common Sky, Sheltered to Gather

At the heart of the festival is all(zone)’s main structure:Under a Common Sky, Sheltered to Gather. It is not a conventional building, but a shelter, which is the most minimal gesture of architecture. A simple roof offering shade, intimacy, and a shared space of joy and connection.

Suspended lightly above the plaza, it softens the urban ground and creates a human-scaled room in the open air. Its colorful, playful forms bring warmth and curiosity to the city—inviting people to gather, rest, speak, and reflect. Inspired by the spirit of the picnic—informal, adaptive, and shaped by those who join—it becomes a temporary commons for collective presence. Though short-lived, the structure is reusable—light, hopeful, and made to continue. It does not impose a singular purpose, but invites many—gathering, lounging, performing, conversing—allowing the city’s daily rhythms to shape its meaning. Like a picnic, it is ephemeral and adaptive, defined by those who arrive and what they bring with them. Designed not to endure through permanence, but through reusability and generosity, it is architecture at its lightest and most generous.


Four Selected Participants for Urban InterventionThe central installation is joined by four selected urban interventions, chosen from the open call for their resonant explorations of public life, climate resilience, and cultural memory. Each offers a unique take on how growing cities in Asia and beyond can be reimagined through community, storytelling, and everyday rituals. “

In Search of a Loggia

The loggia of the Andrews & George Building sits on a secondary façade, facing an alley and courtyard rather than overlooking the street as tradition dictates. It feels like an incomplete architectural gesture, both inviting and constrained by historical context, spatial limitations, and pragmatic needs. In search of a Loggia imagines what this fragment might have become: a narrow, low platform that symbolically emerges from an unopened window on Yuanmingyuan Road and weaves through obstacles to occupy and extend the loggia space. This temporary structure extends itself as a quiet gesture: an unbuilt possibility made visible, tracing the outline of what could have been, and envisioning the loggia's unrealized potential as a truly communal threshold.

Tangent Essays is a research-driven collective where writing and design converge in thoughtful practice. Tangent Essays takes an interest in architecture and all the areas that architecture claims, has claimed, or has yet to claim to be in touch with. Members include An Tairan, Luo Xuan, Su Chang, Wang Yifan, Wei Minglu, and Birdia Zuo.

A Gentle Reclaim

A Gentle Reclaim transforms an overlooked alley into a soft retreat, where nature quietly begins to reclaim the city. Moss-covered hills rise gently from the ground, softening the alley’s hard edges. There’s a sense of calm erosion, a quiet decadence—as though the city has paused to breathe and nature has crept back in. Visitors are invited to pause, recline, and do nothing. In contrast to the city’s relentless pace, this space becomes a still moment. Here, the boundaries between built and grown blur. A green stillness settles in, and something older, more human, quietly emerges.

Studio Vapore is a small design studio based in Beijing with Italian roots and a multicultural team. Working across architecture, interiors, and product design, they like to explore how spaces can feel a little softer, a little slower, and a bit more human—especially in places where people learn, gather, or play.

Pipe UP!

WWWorks reintroduces public drinking water to the site, reviving its historical role in Shanghai’s civic life as a shared civic gesture. Public water stations, as a form of communal care, were once essential to citizens’ lives and neighborhood mutual assistance. Now, Pipe UP! celebrates water’s primal power to spark sharing and serendipitous encounters ocne again.Pipe UP! seeks to transform “dominated spaces” into “appropriated spaces,” reclaimed through civic engagement. Freed from walls and presented as freestanding sculptural installations, the water pipes gain material gravitas and ritual significance. Chance encounters between people receiving water among intersecting pipes foster a new kind of neighborhood relationship.

WWWorks, founded in 2024 in Shanghai, is an architectural studio that integrates practice with research. It works across scales—from urban design to architecture, interiors, exhibitions and product design—focusing on interactions between design and local contexts. Rooted in realism, it seeks to go beyond traditional methods while exploring new links among public spaces, social production, and ecological systems.

Ways to Roam

Designed to assist event logistics by serving tea, providing information, and lending comfort items, four carts are inspired by the dynamic interplay of Thai and Chinese traditional cultures—showing how these cultures adapt, overlap, and reshape shared practices such as vending, informal resting, tea rituals, and mobile commerce. Drawing on the bold colors of Thainess, various tiles sourced from Chinese online markets are applied to the carts’ surfaces, echoing this vibrant cultural dialogue. As the carts move between stationary and mobile, they generate different rhythms of encounter: places to pause, receive, and reflect. Together, they form a light, mutable, and attentive infrastructure of care.

Alkhemist Architects is a design studio founded by a group of designers who believe that a better society embraces fluidity in diversity. We see design not just as an aesthetic pursuit, but as a practical tool for interaction, exchange, and mutual learning. From carts to courtyards, we create spaces that engage everyday life while allowing differences to coexist, overlap, and evolve.

By introducing adaptive programs to activate these built structures, Shanghai Picnic invites people to redefine how urban space can be experienced—often in improvisational ways that architects and designers have not predicted. Also selected through an open call, over 50 events—spanning public conversations, performative interventions, open-air screenings, and a variety of workshops—gather both residents and visitors around food, community rituals, and collaborative storytelling, creating a space for listening, exchanging, and building new ways of being together—all while having fun.
