Sydney-based social entrepreneur Andy Marks is pioneering a new 'Fix and Make' programme, centred around the concepts of anti-mass production and a reconnection between artisan and product. Pictured: Gerard Havekes feature wall. Photography: Ross Honeysett
总部位于悉尼的社会企业家安迪·马克斯(AndyMarks)强调说,我们需要找到方法收回对我们拥有的物品的控制权。他最关心的是,我们在追求新事物的过程中忽视了多少,以及为什么我们天生就想要不断地获得东西。他问道:“买东西真的能满足我们的需求吗?还是会造成更多的消费欲望?”你是如何激活关于消费和浪费的争论的?
在澳大利亚堪培拉的一家设计驱动的五星级精品酒店,输入房产开发商花蜜EFkarpidis,酒店酒店后面的共同所有者和创意思维。
它的建造和手工装配问题的本质是批量生产,因为它汇集了来自建筑、艺术、电影和设计背景的超过50个国家的顶级创意。
酒店的内部设施包括打捞和修复20世纪澳大利亚家具、手工制作的物品、独特的艺术品和定制的家具,以及一个由2000多件回收木材制成的壮观的入口楼梯,所有这些都传递着一种原材料的奢华和温暖的感觉。加上内置的电力和节能设备,再加上积极参与堪培拉的艺术活动,很明显,Efkarpidis的议程是关于共同努力、赞助和可持续性的(除了填满酒店的68间客房和31套公寓外)。
“Nectar给了我创造性的自由,让我设计一个项目,让人们聚在一起,质疑我们与对象的关系,并分享技能和想法,”Marks关于Fix and Make,这是一个为期12个月的活动,包括在酒店的研讨会和讲座。本月早些时候,来自神经科学、艺术、设计、工艺、教育、音乐和心理学等领域的60名国家和国际合作者将参加30多场活动,主要在酒店建筑群内举行。
通过修复和制作过程,我们可以更好地理解事物是如何工作的,并将这些知识应用到…中“解决我们自己的问题;控制我们自己的资源;打破我们对那些生产寿命有限的产品的制造商的依赖。”马克补充道。
活动包括重新使用和终止使用的材料,以及从车间和工厂地板的剪刀.营地家具将用掉落的树枝和可生物降解的塑料建造;用日本传统的漆器谈话涵盖了从心理解释强迫购买和囤积,到酒店的主要室内策展人揭示什么是‘价值’对他们。
怪怪的?是的。实用?可能吧。虽然新学到的技能是这项计划的一个额外奖励,但马克斯希望这个长期运行的项目能够鼓励重复访问,因此这些信息确实会被吸收进去。希望它们能激励我们重新利用材料,在当地生产,并通过将我们的残缺物排除在垃圾填埋场之外来减少浪费。我们相信,其他城市也有可能启动类似的讨论。
Held at Canberra's plush Hotel Hotel complex, 60 national and international collaborators from fields spanning neuroscience, art, design, craft, education, music and psychology will partake in over 30 events, held mostly within the hotel complex. Photography: Ross Honeysett
The build of the design-driven, five-star boutique hotel brought together over 50 of the country’s top creatives – so it seemed like the ideal location to host this year-long series of talks and workshops.

Hotel Hotel’s interiors comprise salvaged and restored 20th-century Australian furniture, hand-crafted objects, unique artworks and custom-made furnishings. Together these individually beautiful objects create a homely warmth hard to achieve in a hotel. Pictured: the hotel library. Photography: Ross Honeysett
Programme activities involve re-purposing pre-loved materials and offcuts from workshops. With any luck, completed products may eventually be reused at Hotel Hotel itself, adding to the community spirit of the place. Pictured: hotel room joinery. Photography: Ross Honeysett
Talks cover everything from psychological explanations for compulsive buying and hoarding, through to Hotel Hotel’s key interior curators revealing what constitutes ‘value’ to them. Photography: Ross Honeysett
Marks hopes that the long running program will encourage repeat visits, so the messages really sink in. 'Hopefully they’ll inspire us to re-use materials, produce locally and reduce waste by keeping our broken things out of landfill. We believe there’s potential for other cities to activate similar discussion.' Photography: Ross Honeysett
