隐形谷仓是一个特定场地的设计方案,它通过将景观投射到结构命题上,对场地的景观进行重新整合。一个谷仓形状的木质结构在其表面贴上了反光膜。这个经过镜面处理的傻子被放置在小树林的中间,反映出它周围的环境:不同种类的树木和植物、天空、地面和场地的季节性变化。城堡在其封闭的小树林中的反射使其结构顺利地融入大自然。贯穿荒地的切口使游客可以进入、离开和绕过这个结构。隐形谷仓是一个愚蠢的建筑,它在自然界中失去了人造的建筑存在,但却为用户增加了新的体验和互动。

Invisible Barn is a site-specific design proposal that re-contextualizes the landscape of the site by projecting the landscape on the structural proposition. A barn shaped-wooden structure is sheeted with reflective film on its surfaces. This mirror-finished folly is placed in the middle of the grove and reflects its surrounding environment: different species of trees and plants, sky, ground and the seasonal changes of the site. The reflection of the folly within its enclosed grove allows the structure to smoothly assimilate into the nature. The incisions that penetrate through the folly allow visitors to maneuver in, out, and around the structure. Invisible Barn is a folly that loses its man-made architectural presence in nature but adds novel experience and interaction to the users.

隐形谷仓被放置在小树林的核心位置,位于场地的通道上。在小树林的周围,有十几棵大小相近的树,彼此之间的间距相等。由于树木的大小和位置的相似性,镜面上的投影与人们在没有愚公移山的情况下看到的相似。这种视觉错觉模糊了愚公移山和场地之间的感知边界,使愚公移山在自然界中消失和不可见,重构了场地的景观。

Invisible Barn is placed in the core of the grove which lies on the passageway of the site. Around the circumference of the grove there are a dozen of trees in similar size and equal spacing from one another. Due to the similarity of its size and placement of the trees, the projection on the mirrored surface is similar to what people would see without the folly. The visual illusion that blurs the perceptual boundary between the folly and the site, allows the folly to be disappeared and invisible in nature, reconstructing the landscape of the site.

谷仓的形状是一个瘦长的平行四边形,以躲避密集的树木。斜面的门洞有不同大小和深度的开口,意味着窗户和门。穹顶上的这些实体和空隙,反射膜和胶合板框架的开口,突出了这些开口。这创造了一个视觉上的把戏,即有框的开口是漂浮在小树林的空气中。通过这些开孔,游客感知到真实和镜像景观之间的微妙差异,了解丛林的深度和场地上的其他艺术装置。这些孔隙可能暗示着观景框、通道和长椅,参观者打算在身体和视觉上与它们互动。此外,反射性护套是镀铝的聚酯薄膜,在200-400纳米的波长范围内有超过90%的紫外线反射率。虽然人类无法识别这种紫外线反射,但鸟类可以感知到,这样可以防止它们碰撞到结构上。

The barn is shaped as a skinny and long parallelogram to elude the dense trees. The beveled folly has openings with various sizes and depths that connote windows and doors. These solid and void on the folly’s envelope, reflective film and plywood-framed opening, accentuate the openings. This creates a visual trick that the framed openings are floating on air in the grove. Through these apertures visitors perceive the subtle differences between the real and the mirrored landscape, understanding the depth of the grove and other art installations over the site. The apertures may suggest viewing frames, passages, and benches and visitors are intended to interact physically and visually with them. In addition the reflective sheathing is aluminized polyester film which has more than 90% of UV reflectivity in the range of 200-400nm wavelength. Though human does not recognize this UV reflection but it is perceivable to birds so that prevents them from colliding onto the structure.

该结构是由2×4木墙骨和覆膜组成的,在那里铺设了麦拉尔镜面薄膜。木框件与埋在地下的混凝土基座上的压力处理过的木墩相连。建议采用现场和非现场的混合施工方法。预制的墙壁、地板和胶合板开口框架可以由两三个人搬到现场,在那里组装部件。

The structure is comprised of 2×4 wood studs and sheathing where the mylar mirror film is surfaced. Wood framed piece is connected to pressure treated wood pier on concrete footing buried underground. A hybrid construction method with on and off-site is suggested. Prefabricated walls, floors and plywood opening frames can be moved by two or three people onto the site where the components are assembled.

在雕塑和建筑的交汇处,”隐形谷仓 “在本质上失去了它的建筑形状,但通过两个学科之间的材料和建筑技术的重叠,鼓励参观者与它互动。作为一个静态的结构,愚公移山利用其物质性和现场环境,从现有的景观中引出一个新的场景。随着人们开始远离、走向和进入愚人节,使用者会慢慢认识到小树林中的一个空间,它反映了公园的景观,并使之充满活力。

At the intersections between sculpture and architecture, Invisible Barn loses its architectural shape in nature but encourages visitors to interact with it through overlapping in materials and building techniques between the two disciplines. As a static structure, the folly uses its materiality and the site context to draw a new scene derived from the existing landscape. As people begin to move away, toward and within the folly, the users will slowly recognize a space within the grove that reflects, mirrors, and animates the landscape of the park.
