像⽂物保護店屋這樣的歷史⺠居是記憶的寶庫,擁有著⾃⼰的前世過往。MOD 通過在布萊路的Canvas公寓分層概念來探索歷史以及我們與過去、現在和未來的關係,模糊了空間和物體之間的界限。

Historic dwellings like conservation shophouses are repositories of memories, with previous lives and a past of their own. Ministry of Design explores history and our relationship with the past, present and future through the concept of layers in Canvas House at Blair Road.

MOD 在概念上⽤⼀層⽩⾊覆蓋了過去,並為未來提供了⼀塊畫布。這棟房屋有節奏地展⽰了它的部分歷史,有⽼⽊材的影⼦,也有⼀層層暴露在外的紅磚和複雜的舊家具細節。
Blurring the boundaries between space and object, MOD conceptually blanketed Canvas House with a layer of white that provides a canvas for the future, whilst revealing historical preservation in concentrated spots. The house rhythmically reveals parts of its past, with Shadows of old timber as well as Layers of revealed brick and intricate details of re-purposed and upcycled furniture.

與此同時,MOD 邀請遊客想像⼀個充滿夢想的未來,基於⼯作室創造的⼀幅霓虹燈⽂字作品,其中引⽤了 Thomas Jefferson 的⼀句話,概括了 MOD 對 Canvas House 的處理⽅法。這句話總結了這棟⽼房⼦的態度;Colin 解釋說:「這是⼀塊可以⽤來夢想未來的⽩⾊中性畫布,⽽不是對過去的⼤規模效忠。
At the same time, MOD invites visitors to imagine a future with Dream, a text-based neon piece that the studio created, with a quote by Thomas Jefferson that encapsulates MOD’s approach to Canvas House. The quote summarizes the attitude of the house; Colin explains, 「it is a neutral white canvas for the future to be dreamt upon, rather than a wholesale homage to the past.」
