在北京现代化的城市中心,你还能找到由胡同和四合院组成的低矮的旧城区。对于胡同居民们来说,胡同的意义不仅仅是这些单层建筑群体本身的庄严美感,还在于邻里之间早就建立起来的那种社会关系。从胡同到高楼是一个旨在记录北京正在消失的胡同的项目。这里刊登的图片,是从胡同到高楼项目正在建立的影像档案的一部份,图片都是由胡同里的居民和该项目的支持者拍摄的。 In the modern city center of Beijing, you can also find the low, old town with alley and courtyard. For alley residents, the meaning of the alley is not only the solemn beauty of these one-story buildings themselves, but also the kind of social relations long established between neighborhoods. From the alley to the tallest building is a project designed to record Beijing’s disappearing alley. The pictures published here are part of an image archive that is underway from the alley to the high rise project. The pictures are taken by residents of the alley and by project proponents.
