迷宫游乐场建在Palácio das Mangabeiras的花园里,这是巴西米纳斯吉拉斯州州长的旧居。自2019年起,该宫殿成为一个开放给公众参观和表演的公园。迷宫是公园永久公共空间的一部分,也是临时展览线路的一部分。

The Labyrinth Playground was built in the gardens of Palácio das Mangabeiras, the former residence of the governor of the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Since 2019, the Palace has become a park open to public visitation and shows. The Labyrinth is part of the park’s permanent public spaces and is also part of the temporary exhibitions circuit.

凭借其众多的木质支柱,该项目提出了一个充满乐趣和迷宫的地方。不慌不忙的游客可以在它的柱子中迷路;儿童(和成人!)可以爬上金属栅栏;无论谁从远处观察它,都会看到一个有时封闭、有时开放、有时半开放的物体。

With its many wooden pillars, the project proposes a playful and labyrinthine place. Unhurried visitors can get lost among its pillars; children (and adults!) can climb the metal grate; and whoever observes it from afar sees an object that is sometimes closed, sometimes open, sometimes half-open.

但是,迷宫并不是为了从远处看,它也不是一个遥远的雕塑:它邀请每个人进入它,并体验–身临其境–其元素的纹理和规则性与不规则性之间的游戏。它也是一个探索将两种类型合二为一问题的装置:丛林健身房和迷宫。这两个元素交织在一起,创造了一个复杂的楼梯、管道、支柱、柱子和梁的排列。

But the Labyrinth is not meant to be seen from afar, nor is it a remote sculpture: it invites everyone to enter it and experience — immersively — the textures and the game between regularity and irregularity of its elements. It is also an apparatus that explores the problem of joining two typologies into one: the jungle gym and the labyrinth. These two elements intertwine and create a complex arrangement of stairs, tubes, pillars, posts, and beams.

从描述上看,迷宫有55根非洲桃花心木柱子,在六个走廊两侧。在南北方向,它们很宽,通道很容易;在东西方向,它们很窄,通道比较困难。柱子上方是由1 ¼英寸金属管组成的空间网格,这就是丛林健身房。

Descriptively, the Labyrinth has 55 African mahogany pillars that flank six corridors. In the north-south direction, they are wide and the passage is easy; in the east-west direction they are narrow and the passage is more difficult. Above the pillars is the space grid of 1 ¼” metal tubes, which is the jungle gym.

这些管子被涂成洋红色,这是绿色的互补色(公园里的植物和背景中的Sierra do Curral的绿色)。绿色和洋红色在迷宫、色轮和大自然中相互补充。

The tubes were painted magenta, which is the complementary color of green (the green of the plants in the park and the Sierra do Curral in the background). Green and magenta complement each other in the Labyrinth, the color wheel, and nature.
