Introduction
“The Field describes a space of propagation, of effects. It contains no matter or material points, rather functions, vectors and speeds. It describes local relations of difference within fields of celerity, transmission or careering points, in a word, what Minkowski called the world.”
Sanford Kwinter, 1986
“Field Conditions are bottom-up phenomena, defined not by overarching geometrical schemas but by intricate local connections. Interval, repetition and seriality are key concepts. Form matters, but not so much the forms of things as the forms between things.”
Stan Allen, Points + Lines, 1999
[1] Urban Condition in the Field - Deconstruct the Cultural Conflicts of Local Urbanism
As urban condition is one of the most complex systems in the physical world, hidden orders or rules exist under the surface of daily urban transitions. With the study of field, although it is hard to capture every detail elements affecting the urban condition, we can learn from certain urban elements which determine these orders systematically on the macro level. In a short-term behavior such as daily transition, physical built environment is the main factor to construct the urban field and groups of people are the units being affected. In a long-term development, these daily behaviors accumulate and finally turn into a culture, which is actually a field crossing spacetime.
Chinese traditional market is such a kind of fields crossing spacetime, and finally forms a urbanism culture. Along thousands of years, people in the living community have a habit to come to an open space and make trades with each other. Even in today’s Chinese cities, such kinds of space exist in every living communities, keeping forming a field affecting people’s daily life. However, new commercial system has comed since the economy reform from the last century, leading by the supermarkets and retailers, which have their own field and affect the original traditional market field continuously.
Urban fields build people’s daily behavior and life. As the modern field comes in and expand itself constantly, the traditional field, the traditional urbanism culture, is in danger during the urban development. While the modern commercial field is more systematical and efficient, the traditional field is more natural and tightly related to the construction of living community. It is the critical time to protect the old field from being replaced.
[2] Field as a Design Methodology - Reconstruct Transition between Fields in Reality
People don’t feel the urban environment with the macro perspective. The elders in the living community have no experience of the nearby commercial complex and the young people have no idea what the traditional markets like. This project explores how to deconstruct the local condition in a field system, but also how to reconstruct the fields and the transition between fields, the hidden facts, in the reality.
In this process, field is a method both to investigate and design. After field condition is represented in a structural system, this system can be applied directly to the reconstruction design. Within the field system, relationships of the field are able to well reconstructed and showed with a obvious form in the reality, which can be easily perceived by people groups. At the same time, the design is also served as a way to ease the conflicts between two urbanism cultures and give the old field a strong stand to protect it from the new one.

引言
“场域描述的是传播、效应的空间。它不包含物质或质点，而是函数、矢量与速度。它描述celerity场、传输场或轨迹点场内的局部差异关系，一言以蔽之，即闵可夫斯基所称的世界。”
Sanford Kwinter, 1986
“场域条件是自下而上的现象，并非由自上而下的几何图式定义，而是由错综复杂的局部连接所定义。间隔、重复与序列性是关键概念。形式重要，但重要的与其说是物的形式，不如说是物与物之间的形式。”
Stan Allen, Points + Lines, 1999
[1] 场域中的城市状况——解构本土城市主义的文化冲突
城市状况是物理世界中最复杂的系统之一，日常城市过渡的表面之下存在着隐藏的秩序或规则。通过场域研究，尽管难以捕捉影响城市状况的每一个细节要素，我们仍可从宏观层面系统性地学习某些决定这些秩序的特定城市要素。在诸如日常过渡等短期行为中，物质建成环境是构建城市场域的主要因素，人群则是受影响的单元。在长期发展中，这些日常行为不断累积，最终形成一种文化——实际上是跨越时空的场域。
中国传统集市就是这样一种跨越时空的场域，最终形成城市主义文化。数千年来，居住社区中的人们习惯来到开放空间彼此交易。即便在当今中国城市，这类空间仍存在于各个居住社区，持续塑造影响人们日常生活的场域。然而，自上世纪经济改革以来，以超市与零售商为主导的新商业体系兴起，拥有自身的场域，持续影响原有的传统集市场域。
城市场域塑造人们的日常行为与生活。随着现代场域进入并不断扩张，传统场域与传统城市主义文化在城市发展中面临危机。现代商业场域更系统、更高效，而传统场域更自然、与居住社区建构联系更紧密。保护旧场域免于被替代，正是关键时刻。
[2] 场域作为设计方法——在现实中重构场域之间的过渡
人们并非以宏观视角感受城市环境。居住社区中的长者对附近商业综合体缺乏体验，年轻人也不了解传统集市的样貌。本项目探索如何解构场域系统中的地方状况，以及如何在现实中重构场域及场域之间的过渡——那些隐藏的事实。
在这一过程中，场域既是调研方法，也是设计方法。当场域状况被表征为结构系统后，该系统可直接应用于重构设计。在场域系统内，场域关系得以良好重构，并以现实中易于被人群感知的明显形式呈现。同时，设计也作为缓和新旧两种城市主义文化冲突、赋予旧场域有力立足以抵御新场域侵蚀的途径。
