一个美丽的建筑装置，加上一个令人联想到澳大利亚内陆盐湖的粉红色池塘，作为NGV国际的Grollo Equiset花园的2021年建筑委员会的获胜者被揭晓。由墨尔本的建筑公司Taylor Knights和艺术家James Carey组成的团队设计的这个名为pond[er]的装置，为游客提供了一个在夏季降温的空间，并思考他们与环境的关系。
A beautiful architectural installation, replete with a pink pond evocative of Australia’s inland salt lakes, has been revealed as the winner of the NGV’s 2021 Architecture Commission in the Grollo Equiset Garden at NGV International. Designed by a Melbourne-based team comprising architecture firm Taylor Knights in collaboration with artist James Carey, the installation, entitled pond[er], offers a space for visitors to cool off during the summer months and reflect on their relationship with the environment.
参考罗伊-格拉斯爵士在NGV国际的原始设计中的露天庭院，这个建筑和景观装置包括两个关键的设计元素：一个本土植物体和一个水体。水体的颜色是粉红色的，直接参考了维多利亚州的许多内陆盐湖，并强调了水作为自然资源的稀缺性、重要性和政治意义。该装置还包括与本-斯科特花园设计公司联合设计的维多利亚野花床，这些野花在整个装置的不同时期绽放，旨在强调我们自然生态的美丽、不稳定性和时间性。
Referencing Sir Roy Grounds’s open-air courtyards in the original design of NGV International, this architecture and landscape installation comprises two key design elements: a body of indigenous plants and a body of water. The body of water is coloured pink, making direct reference to the many inland salt lakes in Victoria and highlighting the scarcity, importance and political implications of water as a natural resource. The installation also includes beds of Victorian wildflowers, designed in association with Ben Scott Garden Design, that bloom at different times throughout the installation seeks to highlight the beauty, precariousness and temporality of our natural ecology.
作为一个成为NGV花园一部分的空间，而不是一个独立的建筑物体，池塘[er]邀请观众通过一系列相互连接的人行道和无障碍平台移动。参观者可以沉浸在植物和水的空间中，并对其进行探索，甚至可以走下去，涉足粉红色的池塘。
Envisioned as a space that becomes part the NGV garden rather than a separate architectural object, pond[er] invites audiences to move through a series of interconnected walkways and accessible platforms. Visitors can immerse themselves within and explore the spaces of flora and water and can even step down and wade through the pink pond.
为了响应2021年的竞赛大纲，为该项目选择的材料都是在当地采购和制造的，并且在可能的情况下，打算在拆除后由各种土地护理、土著和社区团体分发和使用，包括Willam Warrain土著协会。
In response to the 2021 competition brief, the materials that have been selected for the project are locally sourced and manufactured, and, wherever possible, are intended to be distributed and used again by various Landcare, Indigenous and community groups upon deinstallation, including the Willam Warrain Aboriginal Association.
每年的年度委托都是通过一个两阶段的全国性竞赛来选择的，其中建筑师或多学科团队被邀请提交一个吸引人的临时结构或装置的设计，以激活NGV的Grollo Equiset花园，墨尔本伟大的公民和文化空间之一。
Each year, the annual commission is selected via a two-stage national competition, in which architects or multi- disciplinary teams are invited to submit a design for an engaging temporary structure or installation to activate the NGV’s Grollo Equiset Garden, one of Melbourne’s great civic and cultural spaces.
