十年后，伦敦还能保持其创意与手工艺之都的地位吗？
随着教育成本与居住、工作空间租金的急剧攀升，伦敦正逐渐演变为市民生存的残酷战场。这座城市向来是创意人才的聚集地，但如今的经济压力已将"创造力"异化为只有负担得起教育费用、无需固定收入也能支付房租的人才能进入的行业。创意本不应与社会地位挂钩——它根植于人性之中，每个人都应享有探索、实验、排练与创作的机会。而实现这一切，我们需要更多可负担的空间。
《最低限度的道德》是一项批判性装置，一份不涉政治的社会希望宣言。灵感源自同名著作——西奥多·阿多诺1951年的经典作品，它审视并反思当下伦敦境况中的"受损生活"。
该项目提供蜂窝状的微型快闪空间，供设计师、雕塑家、画家、音乐家等各类创意工作者使用。这是为伦敦后院与间隙空间规划的方案愿景，每一处都将被艺术家临时占据。这些创作兼居住的工作室有望在伦敦闲置的公共或私人领域形成新型创意社群范式。
《最低限度的道德》探讨空间栖居的过程。每位艺术家将携带工具入驻，并有机会展示其技艺奥秘 “若他们愿意”。狭小空间将过滤非必要元素，只保留艺术创作的核心所需。
这更是一场社会实验，促进私人空间与公共用途的人际互动。伦敦住宅常见的绿地与后院往往遭荒废或滥用，该项目如同城市针灸，精准激活这些角落。
装置与周遭环境深度互动，通过精心设计的开口实现内外对话：
观察窗：优雅的垂直开合装置，营造"家"的亲切感，提供若即若离的窥视可能；
天篷门：可掀起的折叠开口，彻底暴露工作空间，在结构与环境间创造可栖息的过渡地带；
星空顶：让阳光自由倾泻的开口，维系着与苍穹星辰的永恒连结。
模块化钢架构筑出充满可能性的空白网格，用户可自行配置隔板、工作台、照明与帘幕。这个设计作品本身，正是对创意民主化的极致诠释。
Will London still be the capital of creativity, arts and crafts in 10 years’ time?
With the significant increase in educational fees and rental prices, both residential and work spaces, London seems to be heading towards an era of a relentless battlefield for its citizens.
London has always represented a hub for creative minds but recently these financial pressures have turned 'creativity' into an industry that can only be joined by people who are able to afford an education and pay the rent without a fixed work income. Creativity should not be linked to a social status. It arises inherently within people and therefore anyone should be granted the opportunity to investigate, experiment, rehearse and play. To do this we need more affordable spaces.
Minima Moralia is a critical installation, a manifesto of social hope with no political intention. Inspired by our namesake, T. Adorno 1951's masterpiece, it investigates and reflects our "damaged lives" in current London condition.
Minima Moralia offers tiny, cellular pop-up spaces to be inhabited by designers, sculptors, painters, musicians and other creatives alike.
Minima Moralia is a programmatic vision for London's backyards and interstitial spaces. Each of them will be temporarily occupied by artists. Workshop and live/work studio spaces have potential of creating new typologies for creative communities that would pop up in unused public or private spaces around London.
Minima Moralia investigates the process of inhabiting a space. Each artist will bring their tools and have the opportunity to reveal, if reckoned, the secrets of their craft. The tight space will filter out the unnecessary. Only what is essential to produce their art can be hosted and used .
Minima Moralia is a social experiment. It promotes human interaction and interconnection between private spaces and public use. London Housing typology often includes green areas and backyards, which are sometimes abandoned or misused. This project is a type of urban acupuncture that targets those places and effectively brings life into them.
Minima Moralia interacts with the context. The space allows a glimpse into the creative process and the crafting abilities that take place inside. Openings are designed to give a range of options to interact with the outside world:
The window: an elegant vertical unfolding opening with a "feel at home" quality. It is a subtle but direct contact with the external world allowing people to "take a peek."
The canopy: a folded opening that lifts to reveal one side of the workspace. It fully exposes the internal space and the activity happening within. At the same time it creates an inhabitable threshold between the structure and the surroundings.
The skylight: an opening where sunlight flows freely inside. It is a little glimmer of a constant connection with the stars and the sky above.
Minima Moralia is a design piece. Modular steel frame creates an empty grid with multiple potential for internal configurations. Shelves, desks, artificial lights and curtains can be provided to meet the user’s needs.
