「三角四方」青年建筑師馬拉松論壇——深圳大學粵港澳大灣區創新設計實驗室啟動儀式（上）

2021年10月，深圳大學粵港澳大灣區創新設計實驗室（中文縮寫“大灣區實驗室”，英文縮寫"GBA Lab"）正式成立。實驗室是專注于粵港澳大灣區及全球城市化前沿問題的空間研究與設計機構，由深圳大學建筑與城市規劃學院特聘教授、博士生導師劉珩博士創建并擔任實驗室主任、學術主持。實驗室通過跨界跨學科的合作及以設計為導向的研究，結合實驗性的設計實踐、教學、展覽、出版和學術論壇等多種形式，探索回應前沿問題的空間創新及多種可能的解決途徑，旨在成為驅動建筑學可持續發展的引擎。

粵港澳大灣區包括香港特別行政區、澳門特別行政區和廣東省廣州市、深圳市、珠海市等在內的珠三角九市，是目前全球發展最快、經濟最發達和空間密度最高的地區之一。《粵港澳大灣區發展規劃綱要》明確了大灣區的戰略定位，即充滿活力的世界級城市群、具有全球影響力的國際科技創新中心、“一帶一路”建設的重要支撐、內地與港澳深度合作示范區、宜居宜業宜游的優質生活圈。

與此同時，經過了四十年史無前例的快速城市化歷程，大灣區很快進入了存量發展的階段，城市空間面臨新的挑戰。一方面，地域文化、基礎設施、空間發展與城市生活品質的關系需要被重新審視；另一方面，住房擁擠、交通堵塞、水源短缺、空氣污染、土地緊張及環境持續惡化等典型城市問題也日益加重。回應這些挑戰和問題、面對未來空間發展的不確定性和復雜性，成為大灣區實驗室設計創新的出發點。

城市在快速高效發展中產生的困局具有獨特性和典型性，也具有全球性和普遍性。以深圳和粵港澳大灣區為范式來對這些城市問題進行研究和解答，有全球性的借鑒意義。大灣區創新設計實驗室的成立具有重要的戰略意義：它是城市的智庫，是先鋒設計實踐的孵化器，也是國際學術交流的平臺。實驗室主任劉珩認為，“跨界、整合和創新”是大灣區實驗室的關鍵詞和特色，而“淡定、生猛和務實”是平臺的態度和個性；實驗室將扎實而真誠地持續推動研究設計方法論的實踐和落地，助力塑造可持續、人性化、多元活力的城市環境。

2021年12月10日下午，深圳大學粵港澳大灣區創新設計實驗室啟動儀式暨「三角四方」青年建筑師馬拉松論壇于深圳大學本原講堂召開。論壇由深圳大學建筑與城市規劃學院及粵港澳大灣區創新設計實驗室聯合主辦，本原設計研究中心協辦。在實驗室主任、學術主持劉珩教授策劃和召集下，粵港澳大灣區27位青年建筑師展開了一場密集緊湊的馬拉松演講和對談，通過對未來城市和建筑問題的探討，回應十個當下我們所面臨的問題，共同預言和想象未來的人居環境。

In October 2021, The Greater Bay Area Innovation Design Lab (The GBA Lab) of Shenzhen University is officially established. Founded by Dr. Doreen Heng LIU, director/academic chair of the GBA Lab and distinguished professor/doctorial supervisor at the School of Architecture and Urban Planning of Shenzhen University, the lab is a pioneer in spatial research and design for the current GBA and for global urbanization.The GBA Lab explores spatial innovation and the multiple possible solutions that are responses to front-line issues through cross-boundary and interdisciplinary approaches with design-oriented research methodology,combining experimental design practices, teaching, exhibitions, publications, and academic conferences. It aims to become an engine that powers the sustainable development of architecture.

The Greater Bay Area consists of Hong Kong SAR, Macao SAR, and nine cities of the Pearl River Delta in Guangdong Province, namely Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Huizhou, Dongguan, Zhongshan,Jiangmen, and Zhaoqing. Formed during different stages of history, this distinctive and diverse city cluster is currently one of the fastest growing, most economically developed, and spatially densest regions in the world. The “Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area” clearly defines the five strategic positioning qualities of the Greater Bay Area, which are: a vibrant world-class city cluster, a global technology and innovation hub, a giant pivot of Belt and Road (B&R), a showcase for in-depth cooperation between the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Macao, and a quality living circle for living, working and traveling.

At the same time, after forty years of unprecedented rapid urbanization, the Greater Bay Area is inevitably entering the stage of stock development and facing new challenges regarding urban space. On the one hand, the relationship between regional culture, infrastructure, spatial development, and urban living quality needs to be re-examined, while on the other hand, overcrowded housing, traffic congestion, water shortages,air pollution, land constraints, and environmental degradation, which are universal problems in global cities,have also become core issues of regional concern. The response to these challenges and to the uncertainty and complexity of future spatial development has become the starting point for the design innovations at the GBA Lab.

The predicament produced through rapid and efficient urbanization is not only unique and typical, but also global and universal. Using Shenzhen as a paradigm to study and address these urban problems is not only relevant to Chinese cities, but to other countries too. The establishment of the GBA Lab is of great strategic importance: it is a think tank for the city, an incubator for pioneering practices, and also a platform for international academic exchanges. Professor Doreen Heng LIU, director and academic chair of the GBA Lab, believes that “interdisciplinary, integraty and innovation” are the keywords and characteristics of the Lab,while “calm, vigorous and pragmatic” are the attitude and personality of the platform. GBA Lab will continue to promote the practice and implementation of research and design methodology in a steady and genuine manner, and foster the shape of sustainable, humane, diverse and dynamic future cities.

On December 10th, 2021, the Greater Bay Area Innovation Design Lab Launching Ceremony and the “Delta Four” Emerging Architects Marathon was held in the Benyuan Design Research Center Auditorium, Shenzhen University. The forum was organized by the School of Architecture and Urban Planning, Shenzhen University,with the Greater Bay Area Innovation Design Lab and the Benyuan Design Research Center. Professor Doreen Heng LIU convened 27 emerging architects from different cities in the Greater Bay Area and held an intensive marathon of speech and dialogue. The architects responded ten current issues we need to face through discussions on urbanism and architecture, and imagined possibilities of future living environment.
