Dailun SONG
● 城市八部研究员，《城市中国》新媒体课题主持，上海浦东新区科幻协会会员

His individual work that recorded the community life of Jiaxing Road in Shanghai was exhibited in the 2019 Shanghai Biennale.

奀坊
Unform
● Unform（奀坊）是城市八部的深度战略合作机构，是一家以文字、图像、建筑为媒介进行城市研究和创作的工作室，曾在《城市中国》开展多个专题研究。Unform认为，所有表达形式（form），都包含由其自身结构、层次、语汇等建立的一套意义系统，当代城市研究总难避免游戏于意义系统中而忘记了寻找意义本身——如愚见指月，观指不观月；计著文字者，不见我真实。Unform试图穿过不同形式语言，立足此时此地，捕捉转译城市中未显化、无形态、非定义的重要事物和关系。
● Unform is a partner studio of URBAN LAB 8 that studies urbanisation and contemporary cities through text, image and architecture. Unform believes that behind all forms – all that is created, manifested, present – is a greater consciousness and unity that is unknown, unborn, unmanifested, and unformed. Transpassing the forms of language, image and space, Unform seeks to, in its urban studies, discover and share the ephemeral other than the timeless, life instead of truth, as and only as a witness of the greater unity.

在完成学业返回国内后，海外观察成员也逐步成为中国城市规划、城市设计、建筑、景观、古建筑保护、城市文化等领域的新生骨干力量。
