“构型”是建筑和城市空间塑造中的一个基本问题。然而，功能主义、商品化和消费主义、大规模生产等诸多因素常常影响了对“构型“本体意义的探讨。在历史的纵深中，形态——物质实体的存在，和形式——建筑类型的范式，往往展现出比功能和潮流更加恒久的价值。它们不仅定义了城市肌理的物理框架，也铸造了集体记忆与个体生活的精神载体，在物质与非物质、宏大叙事与个体体验之间构建桥梁。这些复杂要素之间的交织关系赋予了形态在功能和商品属性之外的“未见”之物，也是类型学（typology）和形态学（morphology）的讨论对象。
如今，媒体融合和AI技术发展带来了形式的易产和挪用。AI开始以一种几乎全新的方式“构型”：基于可视形态库的没有束缚的“创新”，让“构型“开始失去其背后的意义集成。这种新的方式正在重塑形态和城市、历史的关系，冲击我们对文化、经济的思考与反馈。那么，空间实践中还留有类型学讨论的空间吗？建筑师和大众要如何探索形态背后的“未见”？个体如何确立在构型背后的立场？
《构型：未见形态》旨在创建一组对于建筑作品的观察装置，由类型学的核心元素——廊、台、阶、塔、帘、龛、梯等原型转译生成，为展品、作者和观众创造出既具体又抽象的场域，让那些朦胧、未完全显现之物展现，并引发互相之间的对话和解读的迭代。探索潜意识和具象之外的“未见”。
The making of form is a fundamental question in architecture and urban space. Yet functionalism, commodification, consumerism, and mass production often overshadow discussion of form in its own right. Across history, physical configurations and architectural types have often demonstrated values more enduring than functions or trends. They define the physical framework of the urban fabric while carrying collective memory and individual lives, connecting the material and the immaterial, broad narratives and personal experience. These interwoven relationships give form qualities that remain unseen beyond its function and commodity value, opening a field of inquiry for typology and morphology.
Today, media convergence and advances in AI make forms easier to produce and appropriate. Drawing on vast repositories of visible forms, AI generates seemingly unrestricted innovations through an almost entirely new process of form-making, in which the accumulated meanings behind a form can become detached from it. This shift is reshaping the relationship between form, the city, and history, challenging how we understand and respond to culture and economics. Is there still room for typological inquiry in spatial practice? How can architects and the public explore what remains unseen behind form? How can individuals establish their own position within the process of form-making?
Beyond Form: Unseen Forms proposes a series of devices for observing architectural works. These devices reinterpret fundamental spatial types: corridors, platforms, steps, towers, curtains, niches, and stairs. They create settings that are at once concrete and abstract for exhibits, their authors, and visitors, allowing what is indistinct or not yet fully apparent to emerge. Through dialogue and successive readings, the exhibition explores the unseen beyond conscious perception and tangible form.
