阿联酋宝格丽展亭

BVLGARI Pavilion，宝格丽展亭是由久负盛名的奢侈珠宝品牌为2012年阿布扎比艺术展（Abu Dhabi Art 2012）建造的临时装置。 客户的期望是是创造"大胆、出乎意料，但又植根于宝格丽传统"的空间。因此该项目既要包含宝格丽的风格和创意的形态，又要成为"现代神话"的象征。

The BVLGARI Pavilion is a temporary installation commissioned by the prestigious luxury jewellery brand for Abu Dhabi Art 2012.  The client’s brief was for the creation of space that was “audacious, unexpected, yet anchored in BVLGARI’s heritage”. The project was required to be both representative of BVLGARI’s style and its creative ideologies, whilst being emblematic of a “modern mythology”.

解构平凡的事物，再将其转化为壮观的艺术品，这是团队的设计理念。从这个意义上来讲，最终成品需要展现出近乎残忍的真挚，以便在形式上实现自我支持，则无需考虑单独的内部结构。因此，建筑形式需要不仅仅作为一个装饰性的表面。但要实现这一目标，需要仔细分析材料和施工技术。

The reapproriation of something mundane and transforming it into something magnificent became the starting point for our design concept. In this sense a certain brutal honesty was desired in the final outcome so that the form was a self supporting entity in itself without the need for a separate internal structure; therefore the form was not merely a decorative veil. To achieve this however required careful consideration and analysis of both material and construction technique.

经过一段时间的设计和实验，团队选择了以亚克力管为基础的设计。亚克力管是一种"现成的"产品，具有固定的长度和直径。虽然它们具有多种用途，但很少被用作主要的建筑元素。团队通过将它们紧密地包装在一起，不仅能够形成组件，而且还提供结构刚性。就像宝石原石一样，通过切片和分割，平滑和抛光，产生了新的空间和环境条件，将材料开发出非凡而独特的用途。在试图创造一种全新的空间体验的同时，团队同时让它依循宝格丽的传统建造，以唤醒人们对宝格丽传统的记忆。团队通过挖掘和雕刻使其形成拱门，拱廊和圆顶。除了通透的效果外，这种方式还以其优雅而又空灵的形式，为建筑创造了独特的外观。

After a period of extensive prototyping and experimenting a design based upon the packing of acrylic tubes was devised. Acrylic tubes are an “off-the-shelf” product that comes in set lengths and diameters. Although they have a diverse range of uses they are rarely used as principal architectural elements. By packing them close together not only do they begin to form mass but also provide structural rigidity. Much like the rough gemstone the concept was to slice and cut, smooth and polish the form to result in new spaces and environmental conditions, to reinvent the material as something extraordinary and unique. Whilst attempting to create a wholly new spatial experience the team was also keen for it to simultaneously be something completely familiar, evocative of BVLGARI’s heritage. In this way it was decided to form arches, arcades and cupolas through the excavation and sculpting. As well as being exposed and translucent this method provided a recognizable enclosure and intimacy all be it an ethereal sensation of it.

项目总共由2272个亚克力管组成，它们之间有大约10，000个单独的连接点，总重量接近6吨。在白天，展馆展示和操纵不断变化的阳光条件，但在夜间，展馆将提供另一种体验，光线将像水一样流过结构，为游客不断隐藏和揭示展亭的各部分。

In total the design consists of 2272 tubes with approximately 10,000 individual connections between them with a final weight of nearly 6 tones. During the day the pavilion plays and manipulates the changing conditions of the sunlight however at night the aim was to provide an alternative experience in which the light flowed through the structure like water constantly hiding and revealing different parts of the pavilion.
