在今天的城市中，有吸引力的居住场所越来越少。而当涉及到这些生活空间时，负责任地使用资源是一个日益紧迫的问题。MINI与纽约建筑师SO-IL合作，为这一双管齐下的挑战提出了一个富有远见的解决方案。装置 “MINI LIVING – Breathe “是对资源意识的前瞻性诠释，在紧凑的占地面积内共享城市生活。”MINI品牌战略和业务创新主管Esther Bahne解释说：”MINI LIVING – Breathe对传统的生活概念提出了质疑，并为城市地区未来的挑战引入了一种创造性的问题解决方法。”该装置展示了当我们不仅将房屋视为居住的空间，而且将其视为我们环境的一个积极组成部分时，会发生什么情况–它对环境和居住在那里的人起到了积极的作用。”

Attractive places to live are in increasingly short supply in today’s cities. And when it comes to those living spaces, the responsible use of resources is an issue of gathering urgency. MINI has teamed up with New York architects SO – IL to present a visionary solution to this two-pronged challenge. The installation MINI LIVING – Breathe is a forward-thinking interpretation of resource-conscious, shared city living within a compact footprint. “MINI LIVING – Breathe calls into question conventional living concepts and introduces a creative problem-solving approach for future challenges in urban areas,” explains Esther Bahne, Head of Brand Strategy and Business Innovation MINI. “The installation shows what happens when we view houses not only as a space in which to live, but as an active part of our environment – one which plays a positive role for the environment and the people living there.”

MINI LIVING – 呼吸：生活，再创造。
与MINI坚持的 “创造性地使用空间 “和 “最小化足迹 “的原则相一致，该装置在以前未使用的50平方米的城市地块上创造了一个有吸引力的生活区，最多可容纳3人。一个模块化的金属框架构成了MINI LIVING-Breathe的基本结构，一个灵活的、可透光的外皮创造了内部和外部之间的界限。总共有六个潜在的房间和一个屋顶花园为个人的实现提供了空间。

MINI LIVING – Breathe: living, reinvented.
In keeping with MINI’s adherence to the principles “Creative use of space” and “Minimal footprint”, the installation creates an attractive living area for up to three people on a previously unused 50-square-metre urban plot. A modular metal frame forms the basic structure of MINI LIVING – Breathe, and a flexible, light-permeable outer skin creates the boundary between inside and outside. A total of six potential rooms and a roof garden provide space for personal fulfilment.

在一楼，一个厨房区作为空间和社会的接口，与装置周围的区域–即世界的外部–相通。它欢迎客人，使人们聚集在一起，并鼓励他们相互接触。它上面是各种生活区，分布在三层，提供了一个诱人的放松和工作场所。睡眠区、一个潜在的湿润区域和屋顶花园充实了装置的上部。各个生活区由透光的纺织墙分隔。这种透光性使其他房间的人能够看到人影和动作，并创造出一种联系和团结的感觉。但是，如果愿意的话，它也给予住户一种隐私感。

On the ground floor, a kitchen area acts as a spatial and social interface with the area around the installation – i.e. the outside of the world. It welcomes guests, brings people together and encourages them to engage with one another. Above it are various living areas, spread over three levels in all, which offer an inviting place to both relax and work. Sleeping areas, a potential wet area and the roof garden flesh out the installation’s upper reaches. The individual living areas are separated by light-permeable textile walls. This translucency allows people in other rooms to make out silhouettes and movements, and creates a feeling of connectedness and togetherness. But it also grants residents a sense of privacy, if preferable.

迷你生活 – 呼吸：房子是一个活跃的生态系统。
然而，该装置提供的不仅仅是一个有吸引力的生活空间。”我们对MINI LIVING – 呼吸采取的方法远远超出了纯粹的生活概念，”MINI LIVING的创意负责人Oke Hauser说。”我们把这个装置看作是一个活跃的生态系统，它为居住在这里的人们的生活和体验以及城市的微气候做出了积极的贡献，这里通过对生命所必需的资源–即空气、水和光–的智能使用来描绘。”

MINI LIVING – Breathe: the house as an active ecosystem.
However, the installation offers more than an attractive living space: “The approach we took with MINI LIVING – Breathe extends far beyond purely a living concept,” says Oke Hauser, Creative Lead of MINI LIVING. “We view the installation as an active ecosystem, which makes a positive contribution to the lives and experiences of the people who live there and to the urban microclimate, depicted here by the intelligent use of resources essential to life – i.e. air, water and light.”

MINI LIVING – Breathe装置增强了城市地区的微气候。
它灵活的外皮有一个特殊的涂层，可以过滤和中和空气。此外，屋顶花园使用活力十足的产氧植物，以进一步改善空气质量和城市的微气候。外皮也是半透明的。它用日光照射装置，确保室内有一个明亮和愉快的气氛。屋顶上的一个智能结构可以收集雨水，以便以后使用，例如从水龙头取水。该结构是可移动的、可适应的。它被设计成可以被拆卸并安装在另一个地方。织物是可以互换的，并且可以替换成适合不同气候的织物。

The MINI LIVING – Breathe installation enhances the microclimate in urban areas.
Its flexible outer skin has a special coating which filters and neutralises the air. Plus, the roof garden uses vigorous oxygen-producing plants to further improve air quality and the urban microclimate. The outer skin is translucent, too. It floods the installation with daylight, ensuring a bright and pleasant atmosphere inside. An intelligent construction on the roof collects rainwater to be used later and taken from a tap, for example. The structure is mobile and adaptable. It is designed to be disassembled and installed at another location. The fabric is interchangeable, and can be replaced with one that performs appropriately to different climates.

“迷你生活-呼吸 “使其居民与环境直接接触。通过使生活成为一种积极的体验，该装置鼓励参观者面对我们将资源视为理所当然的倾向，”SO – IL的负责人Ilias Papageorgiou补充说。

“MINI LIVING – Breathe brings its residents into direct contact with their environment. By making living an active experience, the installation encourages visitors to confront our tendency to take resources for granted,” adds Ilias Papageorgiou, Principal at SO – IL.
