這是42 Architects為Topshop倫敦總店發布會所作的空間布置。工程非常急迫，從概念到完成，只用了3星期時間。

 

“龍卷風”是黑色的PVC管形成的空間漩渦，上面可以掛衣服。這個PVC管連成一個整體，游客被其形體引導。里面布置一些白色構架放鞋子，飾物，化妝品。同時也為顧客提供座位。

 

這個主題也是工作室研究的中心，建筑師對身體與空間的關系非常感興趣。建筑可以對人的行為進行互動，可以刺激或促進某一個具體行為的產生。

 

42 Architects是2009由Johan Berglund 成立在英國倫敦的年輕事務所，在瑞士，英國，中東等多國擁有項目。Johan Berglund是英國倫敦UCL2005年最佳畢業生，得到多個獎項，作品多次被展出及出版。關于他們的更多信息請參見下方英文。

 TWISTER - Topshop Press Day Installation, London

4 2  a r c h i t e c t s
LONDON 2010

Johan Berglund of London-based 42 architects have designed a spatial installation for Topshop's
AW 11 press event in London, UK, working to an very tight timeframe of only three weeks from
concept to completion.

Twister proposes a spatial configuration built of swirls, swooshes, vortexes and eddys -
manifested as a system of hand formed black PVC coated tubes onto which garments can be
hung. Visitors are invited to follow the structure as it winds through the room, while encountering
concentrations of displayed garments along the way. The black tube also acts to bind the various
collections together into one thematic whole. Around the structure sits a second layer of smaller
white structures; benches and tables that hold shoes, accessories and makeup displays, as well
as acting as seats for visitors.

Twister continues themes currently being in our studio. We take a great interest in the
relationship between the body and space, with architecture acting as a mediator that can provoke
and promote very specific types of uses and movement patterns.

42
42 is a young architecture and design studio based in London, UK, established by Johan
Berglund in 2009. As a practice we are driven by the belief that architecture can enhance our
society through excellence in design, coupled with contextual sensibility and a strong
understanding of the social, cultural and environmental needs of our times.
The architectural output is driven by inventive ideas and strong concepts. We have established a
thorough research methodology within the office, which means that we are able to deal with most
types of projects and contexts without a pre-determined style. We enjoy grand ideas and bold
concepts, but we also value the small scale and the intricate, and put great emphasis on
achieving high quality detailing, atmosphere and materiality, regardless of the size of project and
budget. We are often part of projects from an early stage, where our competence and skills can
be used to help define the scope and brief of the project, assist with locating suitable sites for the
project, as well as help secure funding from public and corporate bodies.We undertake work in
sectors such as Arts and Culture, Commercial, Sports & Leisure, Residential and Public projects.
Our experience extends from one-off, carefully crafted interior fit-outs to large public buildings
and landscape projects in Sweden, UK and the middle east.
