STUDIO NOR
Our design practice is based on the fundamental belief that the essence of existence is the symbiosis of Things and their Interrelation. The Elements of a Relation and the Relation itself reinforce each other as reciprocal causation, neither of which can exist without the other, and the combination of the two is where meaning is produced. Therefore, we intuitively try to establish an appropriate Systematic Logic for each project as the basis of our design. NOR is considered as a Middle Way: neither this nor that, neither here nor there, neither bound nor free, neither Being nor Non-being. As an indefinite framework established accordingly, it negotiates contradictions in motion, creating an interpotentiation field where the energies of all elements are heightened in each other’s presence.
我们的设计实践基于一个基本认知，即存在的本质是「物」与「物间关系」的共生。「关系的对象」和「关系自身」互为因果、缺一不可，两者的复合才产生意义。因此，我们会直觉地为每个项目寻找适宜的「体系逻辑」，并以其为依托展开设计。「不，也」可以被理解为一种「中庸」：不如此，也不如彼、不在此，也不在彼、不受缚，也不自由、不有，也不无。作为一套模糊的中枢框架，它因势立体、以本哺支，运动地调和诸多矛盾，使它们形成互为拱扶的场域，令每个元素都因其他元素的存在而增益自身能量。
