2016年,洛桑鸟类学俱乐部(COL:Cercle Ornithologique de Lausanne)在Préverenges收购了一个面向Île aux Oiseaux(”鸟岛”)的小木屋,这是一个2001年从湖中开垦出来的人工生物圈,现在被列为官方自然保护区。它的位置与Venoge河的天然河口相连,Venoge河是一条流入日内瓦湖的河流。这里是候鸟在瑞士的主要停留地之一,主要是由于其在罗纳河谷轴线上的独特地理位置。从非洲来的鸟儿在这里停留,然后再前往北极苔原的遥远的夏季住处。

In 2016, the Lausanne ornithology club (COL: Cercle Ornithologique de Lausanne) acquired a small cabin facing Île aux Oiseaux (“Bird Island”) at Préverenges, an artificial biotope reclaimed from the lake in 2001 and now classified as an official nature reserve. Its location is connected to the natural estuary of the Venoge, a river that flows into Lake Geneva. This is one of the main stopping places for migratory waders in Switzerland, primarily due to its unique geographic situation in the axis of the Rhône valley. Birds arriving from Africa stop here before moving on to their distant summer quarters in the Arctic tundra.

新的鸟岛之家(Maison de l’Île aux Oiseaux)位于该岛对面,地理位置优越,旨在提高公众和该地区学童对自然保护、气候以及人类活动对候鸟停留地损失的影响的认识。

Ideally located opposite the island, the new Maison de l’Île aux Oiseaux (bird island house) aims to raise awareness among the public and the region’s schoolchildren of issues around nature protection, the climate and the impact of human activities on the loss of stopover sites for migratory waders.

模拟建筑/结构。鸟岛屋的建筑从鸟类世界的优雅中获得灵感(树枝、鸟巢、羽毛)。它的结构是由坚固的垂直木板组成,不用胶水就可以组装,这些木板被弯曲形成一个花边结构,暗示着鸟巢的张力和精致。支撑屋顶的卵石板贯穿整个建筑,装饰着内部的天花板。在内部,参观者发现一个基本的、温暖的空间,覆盖着浅色的天然松木,与建筑的深色框架形成对比。

Analogue Architecture / Structure. The architecture of the bird island house draws inspiration from the elegance of the bird world (twig, nest, feather). Its structure is composed of solid vertical boards, assembled without glue, that have been bent to form a lacework structure of ogival elements suggesting the tension and delicacy of a nest. The ogival boards that support the roof run across the building, ornamenting the internal ceiling. Inside, visitors find a basic, warm space, covered with a light-coloured natural pine wood that contrasts with the darker framework of the building.

屋顶的尺寸很大,有很大的屋檐。它由薄的交叉层压板形成的木材层组成,并覆盖着黑色的锌层。薄木层的叠加减轻了通风、开放的屋顶结构,创造了一种悬浮和运动的印象–屋顶形状的曲线更突出了这种效果。屋顶的轻盈形式也有一个脚印的设计,以便它能在这块土地上非常古老的苏格兰松树之间滑动。通过这种方式,展馆与周围的环境非常敏感地融合在一起,不会对原有的生态系统造成干扰。

The roof is generously sized, with large eaves. It consists of layers of wood formed of thin cross-laminated panels and covered with black zinc cladding. The superposition of thin layers of wood lightens the airy, open-to-view roof structure, creating an impression of suspension and movement – an effect accentuated by the way the roof shape curves. The light form of the roof also has a footprint designed so that it slips between the very old Scots pine trees standing on this plot of land. In this way the pavilion blends very sensitively with its surroundings, causing no disturbance to the pre-existing ecosystem.

亭子像一只鸟一样站在湖边,用精致的金属脚站在地面上,这种方式反映了它在湖边的处境、水、时间和旅行。这些镀金的、闪亮的脚可以保护岛屿之家免受恶劣天气的影响。房子的主要入口是通过一个大的、弯曲的坡道,将亭子向湖边的人行道延伸,伸向岛对面的游客。它由许多垂直的木板组成,并在金属脚上凸起,就像一个木制码头,其弯曲的形状和对比强烈的色调让人联想到涉水者的尾巴。混凝土基座界定了潮湿的土地和高于地面的木材之间的过渡。

Standing by the lakeside like a bird, the pavilion is raised above the ground on delicate metal feet in a way that references its lakeside situation, water, time and travel. The gilded, shining feet protect the Maison de l’Île from bad weather. The main entrance to the house is via a large, curved ramp that extends the pavilion out towards the lakeside walkway, reaching out to visitors who are opposite the island. Made up of many vertical boards and raised on metal feet like a wooden pier, its curved shape and contrasting shades are reminiscent of a wader’s tail. A concrete base defines the transition between the damp earth and the wood raised above ground level.
