2019年,在L’Arsenal举办的大都会酒店展览会上,来自法国的设计机构Ciguë,打造了一间名为“明日之屋”的极简主义客房样板。“明日之屋”虽然只是一个设想,可它并不遥远,因为明 天已经近在咫尺,对酒店模式进行反思与重塑迫在眉睫。

A Room for Tomorrow is a minimalist hotel room prototype as part of the H?tel Métropole exhibition at the Pavillon de L’Arsenal, designed by cigu?. Concieving a room for tomorrow, but the tomorrow that is near, very near, the one for which there is a real urgency to react and reinvent the model.

从历史上来看,酒店是时代的产物,反映了某个特定时代的生活方式。当时代在加速前进的同时,酒店业的发展却变得迟缓,房间模式一成不变,无限被复制,只一味追求舒适度,而忘记了迫切需要反思的问题。就在此刻,成千上万的浴缸正在被注满水、清空、再重新注满。但是你有没有想过,这些水是从哪里来的呢?会去向哪里?这些问题正是这间客房原型所关注的,从中我们已经找到了答案,当把它们集合到一起,形成一个几乎不损失任何资源的循环时,一切都可以得到回收和改造。

Historically hotels have always been the reflection of their time, a sort of capsule of the way of living of a particular era. With our current times accelerating faster than ever, it however seems as if the evolution has wound down, the model has become almost stagnant and is being duplicated indefinitely with a quest focused more and more on comfort, perhaps as a way of forgetting that there is an urgency to react. Meanwhile, thousands of bathtubs are being filled, emptied and refilled as we speak. But where does this water come from? Where is it going? These questions have been the central point of this hotel room prototype, through which we aim to bring to light solutions that already exist, that when brought together create a loop where almost nothing is lost, everything is reclaimed or transformed.

这个房间被刻意简化成了一种极简的表达方式。一个可拆卸的橡木框架,一个用天然材料(大部分可回收)制作的试验平台,一整套系统组合在一起,可以节约标准客房日常用水量的70%。

The room is deliberately brought down to its most simple expression. A solid oak skeleton, dismountable, an experimental platform made of natural materials, recycled for the most part, staging a series of systems brought together to spare 70% of the water usually consumed in a standard hotel room.

露天卧室的屋顶上有两个敞口水箱,一个用来收集雨水,另一个用来储存经植物净化和活性炭过滤后的饮用水。浴缸和水槽与水泵和过滤系统相连通,由此可以对废水进行处理并补充到水回路中去。通过透明坐便器,可以看到人类的尿液和粪便被分开收集,并被转化成肥料和生物能量。

On the roof of the open sky bedroom are exposed two water tanks, one to collect rain water, the second to store the water made drinkable by the phytopurification plants and activated carbon filters. The bathtub and the sink are connected to a system of pumps and filters that treat and replenish the water into the loop circuit. The transparent toilet bowl shows the separate collection of human urine and feces, both transformed into fertilizers and biomass.

该项目要特别感谢Le Sommer环境公司的鼎力支持,最终将概念设计转化为方案的实施。通过充分展示那些平时被隐藏起来的东西,我们证明了解决方案是存在的,并可以此为出发点,对当下的生活方式进行更深层次的重新考量。

This project, conceived with the precious help of environmental engineering experts Le Sommer Environment, pleads for a reappropriation of these fundamental subjects by the concepters and contracters. By fully showing what we usually tend to conceal, we demonstrate that solutions do exist and can be the starting point of a deeper reassessment on our way of living.
