佛山·《飞船》

《飞船》是一个文化装置，将艺术和建筑交织在一起，重新诠释了中国农村的传统和象征。这件作品是广东省佛山市南海区组织的“桥山艺术——南海艺术场”文化项目的一部分，该项目涵盖了八个传统村落。这个雄心勃勃的项目汇集了来自15个国家的数百名艺术家、建筑师和创意人士，他们设计了73个临时装置，翻译了这些社区的历史、传统、自豪感甚至历史竞争。

Flying Boats is a cultural installation that weaves together art and architecture to reinterpret the traditions and symbols of China’s rural villages. This work is part of ‘Art at Qiaoshan - Art Field Nanhai’, a cultural programme organised by the Nanhai district in Foshan, Guangdong Province, which covers eight traditional villages. This ambitious project brings together hundreds of artists, architects and creatives from 15 countries who have designed 73 temporary installations that translate the history, traditions, pride and even historical rivalries of these communities.

在本期中，中心主题是“像水一样”，Sordo Madaleno与WUA工作室合作，很荣幸地被选为位于广东南海的“飞艇”提案。

In the current edition, the central theme is ‘be like water’, and Sordo Madaleno, in collaboration with WUA Studio, was honoured to be selected with his proposal ‘Flying Boats’, located in Nanhai, Guangdong.

“飞艇”背后的概念

THE CONCEPT BEHIND ‘FLYING BOATS’

设计灵感来自标志性的龙舟赛，其象征意义和传统深深植根于当地文化。这些船展示在一座曾经生产丝绸的建筑中，是这项工作的概念起点。

The design is inspired by the iconic dragon boats race, whose symbolism and tradition is deeply rooted in the local culture. These boats, displayed in a pre-existing building that once housed silk production, served as the conceptual starting point for this work.

“一个物体或地方的存在和记忆承载着几代人积累的智慧。了解这些船只和这个空间产生的原因对于尊重和重新解释它们的历史至关重要，尤其是在水的中心主题下。”

--Fernando Sordo Madaleno，合伙人，Sordo Madeleno

‘The pre-existence and memory of an object or place holds the accumulated wisdom of generations. Understanding the reasons that gave rise to these boats and this space was essential to respect and reinterpret their history, especially under the central theme of water.’

— Fernando Sordo Madaleno, Partner, Sordo Madaleno

情感和象征之旅

AN EMOTIONAL AND SYMBOLIC JOURNEY

分析了龙舟的多种用途、工艺、维护，最重要的是，它们所代表的强大情感。龙舟的生命可以分为三个主要阶段：

The multiple uses of dragon boats, their craftsmanship, their maintenance and, above all, the powerful emotional charge they represent were analysed. The life of a dragon boat can be divided into three main stages:

1.维护：在长时间不活动期间，船只会在水下“休眠”，这是一种保护木材并延长其寿命的传统过程。

1.Maintenance: During long periods of inactivity, the boats ‘sleep’ underwater, a traditional process that protects the wood and prolongs their life.

2.休息时间：比赛前的时刻，当船只平静地漂浮，等待转弯时。

2. The break: Moments before the competition, when the boats float calmly, waiting for their turn.

3.比赛：在节日期间，赛艇队在运河中互相挑战速度，给人一种船在水面上“飞行”的印象。

3.The competition: Teams of rowers challenge each other’s speed in canals during festivals, creating the impression that the boats are ‘flying’ over the water.

飞行船装置将这三个阶段转化为一种视觉语言，邀请游客通过在建筑的每一层上使用光线和反射来体验感觉和视觉错觉：

-底层：一个模拟水下环境的封闭空间，让人联想到维护和休息的阶段。

-第一级：漂浮在水面上的感觉，反映赛前休息。

-第二层：一个悬挂的空间，与外面的自然形成对比，再现了船只在全程比赛中的速度和活力。

The Flying Boats installation translates these three stages into a visual language that invites the visitor to experience sensations and optical illusions through the use of light and reflections on each level of the building:

-Ground floor: An enclosed space that simulates being underwater, evoking the stage of maintenance and rest.

-First level: The sensation of floating on water, reflecting the pre-competition break.

-Second level: A suspended space that recreates the speed and dynamism of the boats in full race, in contrast to the nature outside.

Sordo Madaleno+WUA工作室以“飞船”为主题，不仅向龙舟的丰富传统致敬，还建立了过去与现在的对话，创造了一个结合历史、象征和情感的空间。

With ‘Flying Boats‘, Sordo Madaleno + WUA Studio not only pays homage to the rich tradition of dragon boats, but also establishes a dialogue between past and present, creating a space that combines history, symbolism and emotion.
