亚特兰大独特的城市景观因其丰富的树木而闻名。Murmuration是High Museum of Art的一个临时装置,直接回应了Renzo Piano设计的Piazza的建筑。使用鸟类迁徙的镜头,它反应了亚特兰大与自然界的关系。

Atlanta’s singular cityscape is celebrated for its abundance of trees. Murmuration, a temporary installation for the High Museum of Art, responds directly to the architecture of its Renzo Piano-designed Piazza. Using the lens of bird migrations, it reacts to Atlanta’s relationship with the natural world.

当客人穿过广场时,他们被一个悬挂在钢架上的充满树叶的网罩所包围,让人联想到整个地区的树冠。我们与亚特兰大的工程师Uzun & Case合作,开发了一个悬挂在六根杆子上的金属框架,并以农用网包裹,从而使该装置具有形状。雕塑式的安排呼应了鸟的形态,一群鸟,瞬间悬浮在半空。天幕上散布着大量的喂鸟器、座椅和其他有趣的元素,以鼓励互动、观察和认识。这种体验旨在激发围绕生物多样性、灭绝和同居的对话。

As they cross the Piazza, guests are enveloped by a foliage-filled mesh canopy suspended from a steel framework, evocative of the tree canopies found throughout the region. We worked with Atlanta-based engineers Uzun & Case to develop a constellation of metal frames suspended from six poles and wrapped in agricultural netting, which gives the installation its shape. The sculptural arrangement echoes the form of a bird murmuration, a flock of birds, momentarily suspended in midair. The canopy is strewn with ample birdfeeders, seating perches, and other playful elements to encourage interaction, observation, and awareness. The experience is designed to spur conversations around biodiversity, extinction, and cohabitation.

城市的树冠提供了阴凉,净化了空气,并有助于减少雨水径流。为亚特兰大创造一个可持续的未来包括保持或增加树木的数量。在其标题和概念中,Murmuration也直接倡导对鸟类的保护工作,质疑它们的损失和我们未来环境的条款。

The city’s canopy provides shade, cleans the air, and helps reduce stormwater runoff. Creating a sustainable future for Atlanta includes maintaining or increasing the number of trees. In its title and concept, Murmuration also directly advocates for conservation efforts toward birds, questioning their loss and the terms for our future environment.

该结构在运往亚特兰大之前,在墨西哥制造并完全竖立起来。因此,这个装置可以在未来的地点拆除和重新安装,并创造自己的迁移路径。

The structure was fabricated and fully erected in Mexico before being shipped to Atlanta. As such the installation can be deinstalled and reinstalled in future locations and create its own migratory path.
