什么让一座城市更有人情味？在由激进工业化与现代化的推动下变得日益标准化的城市环境中，非正式实践活动（诸如街头摊贩等）标志着一种在中国、泰国等国家独特存在的社会与经济现象。这些实践展现出一种以“即兴”为出发点的工作、生活与运作方式——它们在与全球技术变革并存的同时，仍深深植根于我们自己的文化语境中。
借用“烟火气”这一词汇作为出发点——以油烟气和嘈杂声为代表的真实、日常、有人情味的生活氛围为题材，本次研讨会汇聚艺术家、建筑师、学者以及市集经营者，从多元视角共同探讨非正式实践的过去、当下与未来——将其视为一种包容地理、文化与生态多样性的集体智慧。
此次研讨会分为两个部分。第一部分是以“路边摊”为主题的讨论，邀请到为外滩建筑节2025：上海野餐的开放广场设计了别致的街头摊位的建筑师代表克莱蓬·乍耶内特拉（炼金室建筑事务所）；研究项目 Movable Feasts 的发起人 安娜·格林斯潘；Feral Bahn Mi 创始人蒋旖旎；以及活动策划人 德梦·吉特米特拉帕与周菲菲。第二部分则聚焦于艺术家和研究者毛晨雨的作品，特别是基于他在中国乡村的田野调查的实验性多媒体影像系列 Paddyfilm。这次对话将有由活动策划人周菲菲主持。
从街头美食到农业，从品尝到耕作，本次研讨会通过非正式实践的视角来重新审视我们如何通过集体智慧来为后工业时代的未来提供新的灵感与可能性。

周菲菲是一位出生于中国的空间与视觉设计师，空间设计工作室 terriStories 的创始人。她的创作探索工业化的建筑与自然环境在空间、文化与生态层面的影响。通过以叙事为基础的空间分析方法，她与社会科学家和自然科学家广泛合作，将经验性观察与科学研究转化为视觉化的呈现。
德梦·吉特米特拉帕是一位具有建筑与交互设计跨学科背景的空间设计师与艺术家。在英国工作与生活近十年后，她创立了 Fiction Practice——一家以叙事为驱动的空间设计工作室，常驻曼谷与伦敦两地。同时，她也是伦敦跨学科设计团体 X-cessive Aesthetics 的联合创始人，该团体致力于探索身份、影像与空间文化的边界。
安娜·格林斯潘是上海纽约大学全球当代媒体专业的副教授，同时担任该校人工智能与文化研究中心主任。她的研究聚焦于城市未来与新兴媒介，并在交互媒体艺术项目中教授媒介理论、技术哲学及城市研究课程。
克莱蓬·乍耶内特拉/炼金室建筑事务所由一群相信“多元中的流动性”能够促成更美好社会的设计师创立。我们认为，设计不仅是一种美学实践，更是一种促进互动、交流与相互学习的实用工具。从流动摊车到城市庭院，我们致力于营造能够支持日常生活的空间，使差异能够共存、交汇与演化。
毛晨雨，稻电影系列作者，长期在环洞庭湖区域工作，近年创建稻电影农场实体及筹划麋鹿大学项目。

What makes a city human? In an increasingly standardised built environment shaped by radical industrialisation and modernisation, informal practices, such as street vendors, mark a distinct social and economic phenomenon shared by countries like China and Thailand. These practices represent improvisational ways of working, living, and functioning that coexist with planetary technological transformations yet remain deeply rooted in our own cultural contexts.
Drawing from the title Yan Huo Qi - the “Qi of smoke and fire,” which evokes the bustling vitality of a place through the sizzle of woks, chatter, bargaining, and laughter, this program brings together artists, architects, scholars, and street vendor owners to collectively explore the past, present, and future of informal practices as a form of collective wisdom that embraces geographical, cultural, and ecological heterogeneity.
The event comprised two sessions. The first session featured a panel discussion on street food, including architect Kraipol Jayanetra (Alkhemist Architects), part of the team behind the street vendors designed specifically for RAMa’s open square; scholar Anna Greenspan, creator of Movable Feasts, a digital humanities project mapping Shanghai’s street food; Yini Jiang, owner of Feral Bahn Mi; as well as co-curators Dream Chittmittrapap and Feifei Zhou. The second session focused on the work of artist and researcher Mao Chenyu, particularly his experimental multimedia series Paddyfilm that documents his fieldwork in rural China, and was moderated by co-curator Feifei Zhou.
From street food to farming, from eating to growing, the symposium re-examined how informal practices can inspire visions and possibilities of a post-industrial future through collective wisdom.
Artists and Guests Intro
Panel 1: Feifei Zhou; Dream Chittmittrapap; Anna Greenspan; Kraipol Jayanetra (Alkhemist Architects); Jiang Yini
Panel 2: Feifei Zhou; Mao Chenyu
Feifei Zhou is a Chinese-born spatial and visual designer, and the founder of spatial design studio terriStories. Her work explores spatial, cultural, and ecological impacts of the industrialised built and natural environment. Using narrative-based spatial analysis, she collaborates extensively with social and natural scientists to translate empirical observations and scientific research into visual representations.
Dream Chittmittrapapis a spatial designer and artist with a multidisciplinary background in architecture and interactive design. After nearly a decade in the UK, Dream founded Fiction Practice, a narrative-driven spatial design studio based between Bangkok and London. She is also the co-founder of X-cessive Aesthetics, a London-based interdisciplinary design collective exploring the boundaries of identity, image and spatial culture.
Anna Greenspan is Associate Professor of Global Contemporary Media at NYU Shanghai. She is also a Director of NYU Shanghai's Center of Al and Culture. Her research focuses on urban futures and emerging media. Anna teaches courses in media theory, philosophy of technology and urban studies in the program for Interactive Media Arts.
Kraipol Jayanetra/Alkhemist Architects is a design studio founded by a group of designers who believe that a better society embraces fluidity in diversity. We see design not just as an aesthetic pursuit, but as a practical tool for interaction, exchange, and mutual learning, From carts to courtyards, we create spaces that engage evervday life while allowing differences to coexist, overlap, and evolve.
Mao Chenyu, author of the Paddy film series, has long been working in the Dongting Lake region. In recent years, he established the Paddyfilm-Farm and initiated the Elaphurus davidianus University project.
