关于作品
| 快乐街 Happy Street / 2010
2010年上海世博会荷兰馆“快乐街”是本届展览唯一一个全开放式的国家馆。临街而立的26座微型展馆分别代表着生活区、工作区、工业区等不同城市功能,并以一条长400米、宽5米的“8”字形街道有序贯穿,不仅巧妙地突破了城市规划的现有格局,实现了独立建筑间的自由“对话”,也为观众创造了一个更自由的活动场域。

About the lecture:
John Körmeling studied architecture at Eindhoven’s University of Technology. Architecture is something to which Körmeling gives the widest possible definition: it involves all sorts and sizes of space, starting with the space inside one’s head. Furthermore, according to him, cars and the infrastructure that accommodates them are the real determinants of a town's design. Körmeling's contributions to a city are artistic interventions and creative solutions to the urban fabric.
About John Körmeling:
John Körmeling studied architecture at Eindhoven’s University of Technology. Visual art, architecture, urban and rural planning, design… - Körmeling's designs and realisations cannot be classified into a single realm of thought. Architecture is something to which Körmeling gives the widest possible definition: it involves all sorts and sizes of space, starting with the space inside one’s head. Furthermore, according to Körmeling, cars and the infrastructure that accommodates them are the real determinants of a town's design. A town has to develop from its intersections; any town that turns its back on its roads becomes a ghost town. Körmeling's contributions to a city are artistic interventions and creative solutions to parking problems and traffic jams. For the Panorama 2000 project, Körmeling developed a ‘drive-in’ wheel for cars. Cars, clamped on the wheel, were lifted 100 feet into the air: no worry about a parking place as the visitor could see the exhibition from the air. Körmeling’s projects, some totally unrealisable, are never stripped of humour.
John Körmeling had solo exhibitions at De Pont, Tilburg (NL) and Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven (NL). In 2004, Körmeling had a major solo exhibition at the Power Plant in Toronto (CA), for which the notorious drive-in wheel was re-installed. John Körmeling also designed the Dutch Pavillion for the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai (CN). Known as ‘Happy Street’, the pavilion consisted of 26 elevated small buildings, designed after various Dutch architectural styles, along a main pedestrian strip that curves in a figure eight. Each house was a mini pavilion in itself, exploring themes such as energy, water, space and other urban issues to achieve a ‘Better city, Better life’.
