娛樂空間 Clubbing with Atmosphere - 林馬克 Mark Lintott

台灣的夜生活與其他國家有著明顯的差異,特別是像夜店、汽車旅館或KTV這樣的娛樂空間,它們跟時尚文化幾乎已經畫上等號。華麗炫目的空間設計、獨特的音樂節奏,加上意想不到的燈光驚喜,不但與國際潮流零時差,同時也呈現出在地文化混血、更勝一籌的態勢。在頂尖設計師的巧妙戲法中,娛樂空間不再汙名化,反而成為台灣大眾生活中最具時尚代表的生活場所。

There are notable differences between nightlife in Taiwan and other countries, especially in entertainment space as night clubs, motels or KTVs. The glamour interior design, unique music rhythm and unexpected dramatic lighting even represent fashion culture in Taiwan which is international as well as intertwined with local hybrid culture. As these entertainment spaces become the designers’ artistic works, they turn to be the most fashionable living locales for the public.

代表作品 Representative Work:WEGO Hotel Taipei Taiwan

薇閣精品旅館位於台北市郊兼備娛樂、旅館及美食餐廳性質的新興發展區。在台灣,這類源自於日本的休憩型旅館相當熱門,對於此類兼備娛樂性的旅館而言,房況的維持、客房服務及保全等特殊需求顯得格外重要。

各個房間提供不同用途及風格等需求,兼具如SPA水療、船屋及玻璃屋等房型或者閃耀奪目的浪漫風格。

林馬克設計工作室剔除汽車旅館一貫給予人的刻版印象,領導進入主流市場,並藉此為業者開拓更為寬廣的客源。

透過連結各樓層的汽車斜坡道為旅館主要入口,位於一樓大廳也因此更能保有顧客隱私,並經由電梯通往各房間。薇閣精品旅館總房數約150間,每房坪數大小為十坪至一百二十坪不等。

WEGO Hotel is located in one of the newly develped areas of suburbs of Taipei. The area is zoned for entertainment, hotel and restaurant usages.

The boutique hotel is a drive-in short-stay motel which is very popular in Taiwan with its origins from Japan. This type of motels is considered as “entertainment” hotels and requires a highly specific approach to maintenance, housekeeping and security.

Each room caters for different purposed and tastes from a “spa” type to a “boat house” to a “glasshouse”. Glamour and bling-bling are important factors as well as “romantic” element.

MLD regarded this as an opportunity to relinquish old stereotype of such motels and bring in wider base of customers.

The main entrance is via a car ramp which accesses to all floors. Other guests enter via the main lobby on the first floor which is discrete and private as well. They access the rooms via a room sized elevator from the first floor.

The boutique hotel contains approx 150 rooms ranging from 30m2 to 400m2.

角色公仔 engaging with figures - 張嘉倫 Mark Chang

透過潮流色彩的渲染,公仔的流行重新定義了玩具的價值,並扭轉了消費者對公仔產品的認知態度。台灣設計師藉由公仔做為創意傳播的新媒介,不但把藝術家不同領域的創意和才華同時展現給消費者;彙同台灣的文化延伸,也建構出與眾不同的傳播網絡。一隻隻經由角色設定過的公仔,是設計師表現創意的方式,同時也是一種對雕刻藝術的徹底顛覆。

Influenced by street fashion, the popularity of designer toys not only re-defends the value of toys, but also converts consumers’ perspective toward designer toys. Taiwan designers regard designer toy as a creative mass medium to present artists’ creativity and talents from different disciplinary as well as to build up a particular communication network. Each designer toy is an approach for designers to show their creativity, as well as a way for viewers to subvert traditional concept toward sculpture art.
