本次“刨冰分享会”关注城市中的老旧水利基础设施，邀请与会者共同畅想更具韧性和实验性的公共空间，探索环境正义的未来。 讲者泰 · 卡彭特分享她的两个设计案例：“新消防栓” 将消防栓改造成饮用水站点，“集结地”将闲置空间转变为可促进环境再生的活体实验室与雨水花园。此外，来自工作建筑工作室的设计师将讲述为第二届外滩建筑节：上海野餐设计的公共水站“向上的水管”。
演讲结束后，嘉宾将围绕纽约、多伦多和上海三地的公共水利问题展开对话。活动现场提供上海传统刨冰 ,参与者通过共同品尝、分享的方式，探讨设计在城市中的角色及公众获取公共水资源的可能性。
Pipe UP！
WWWorks将公共饮用水重新引入公共场地，唤回其在上海城市生活中的历史角色。公共水站作为一种共享的公共关怀举动，曾是市民生活与社区互助的重要组成部分，如今Pipe UP！再次以坦诚的姿态赞美由水带来的分享与欢聚。
Pipe UP！同时也是后工业时代中对基础设施、生产流程、空间关系等命题的回应。基础设施是现代社会建构的技术体现，在城市中其功能导向的形式被人熟识却又被人忽略。方案尝试“被支配的空间”到“被取用的空间”的转化，让基础设施回归“可被真实使用”的本真状态——通过将水管从墙体解放为独立构筑物，赋予了其物质性与仪式感；免费饮水在此超越功能价值，作为平等参与的社交媒介，人们接水时的偶遇在管道交错的间隙中孵化出新型邻里关系, 使街区延展多象限的毛细血管。技术不再是支配与管控，而是建立人与城市的触点和通道。

工作建筑工作室
WWWorks 2024年成立于上海，是一间融合实践与研究的建筑工作室，工作尺度涵盖城市、建筑、室内、展览和产品，关注设计与本地的深度互动，试图在现实主义的日常实践中超越传统经验，畅想公共空间、社会生产和生态系统的新联系。
This talk focuses on engaging the public with the life of legacy water infrastructures as a means to collectively envision resilient, experimental civic spaces and an environmentally just future. Tei Carpenter of Agency—Agency, New York, discussed her design projects New Public Hydrant which transforms the fire hydrant into a site for clean drinking water and Staging Grounds, which turns a vacant urban space into a living laboratory and stormwater gardens for environmental regeneration. WWWorks, Shanghai, discussed their project Pipe UP!, a public water station designed especially for the second edition of RAM assembles: Shanghai Picnic. A lively cross-cultural dialogue around public water in New York, Toronto and Shanghai followed the presentations focusing on the role of design in cities and the opportunities for accessing public water.
Traditional local shaved ice was served and shared as a way to discuss water quality and to embrace the theme of “Shanghai Picnic.”
Pipe UP！
WWWorks reintroduces public drinking water to the site, reviving its historical role in Shanghai’s civic life as a shared civic gesture. Public water stations, as a shared public care initiative, were once an important part of citizens' lives and community mutual assistance. Now, Pipe UP! once again, celebrates water's primal power to spark sharing and serendipitous gathering.
Pipe UP! is a critical response to contemporary inquiries into infrastructure, production logics, and spatial hierarchies in the post-industrial era. Infrastructure is a technological manifestation of modern social construction, and its functionally designed form in cities is well-understood but often ignored. The design seeks to transform "dominated spaces" (governed by systemic control) into "appropriated spaces" (reclaimed through civic engagement), thereby restoring infrastructure to its primal truth: to be touched, turned, and trusted. Liberated from walls into freestanding sculptural installations, the water pipes acquire material gravitas and ritual significance. Here, free drinking water transcends mere utility to become a social equaliser. The chance encounter of people receiving water in the gaps between intersecting pipes has fostered a new type of neighbourhood relationship, extending the capillaries of the block in multiple quadrants. Technology is reimagined not as a tool of control but as an overt point of contact and access between us all.

WWWorks
WWWorks, founded in 2024 in Shanghai, is an architectural studio that integrates practice with research. It works across scales—from urban design to architecture, interiors, exhibitions and product design—focusing on interactions between design and local contexts. Rooted in realism, it seeks to go beyond traditional methods while exploring new links among public spaces, social production, and ecological systems.
