交织（Interwoven）是一个临时装置，位于纽约市地标性的Flatiron公共广场，在两个月的推出过程中，有200多万路人到访。该装置是在疫情爆发18个月后设计的，旨在庆祝在公共空间再次与我们的社区相交的乐趣。该装置的灵感来自于交叉路口的动态几何形状，形成Flatiron大厦的形状和美国的文化编织挂毯，装置是一组展开的抛物线拱门，勾勒出城市的标志性景观，同时提供休息、玩耍和聚会的场所。

Interwoven is a temporary installation sited on the landmark Flatiron Public Plaza in New York City, where it was visited by over two million passersby during its two month launch. Designed after eighteen months of the pandemic, Interwoven celebrates the joys of once again intersecting with our community in public space. Inspired by the dynamic geometry of intersections that form the Flatiron Building’s shape and America's woven tapestry of cultures, the installation is an unfolding set of parabolic archways that frame iconic views of the city and offer places to rest, play, and gather together.
互动体验Interactive Experience
当两个人同时穿过匹配的拱门时，同步的灯光和悦耳的声音就会被激活，邀请游客加入到一种有趣的共享体验中。一群游客可能会一起触发音乐，随机的游客可能会碰巧激活传感器，从而在公共场所的陌生人之间建立独特的联系。连接 LED 照明和扬声器的传感器系统贯穿结构，创造了这种神奇而意想不到的效果。同时邀请音乐家们以装置的主题进行创作，这些音乐作品随后被设置为装置中同步灯光的效果。
When two people cross matching arches, synchronized lights and melodious sounds are activated, inviting visitors to join in a playful shared experience. Groups of visitors might work to trigger the music together, and random visitors might happen to activate the sensors by chance, creating a unique connection between strangers in a public space. A sensor system connected to LED lighting and speakers was woven through the structure, creating this magical and unexpected effect. Musicians were invited to respond to the theme of the installation, including several original compositions which were then set to synchronized lighting effects in the installation.
社区参与和社会影响Community Engagement & Social Impact
该装置的互动故事墙由网格上的背光纸制成，邀请参观者分享对提示的回应:“我梦想一个我们可以一起生活的世界……”由此产生的叙事变成了声音的拼凑，记录了这个充满挑战但充满希望的时刻。这个标语是由青年研究员从一个由社区领导的代际倡议中挑选出来的，该倡议的重点是通过美丽和欢乐让人们参与到纽约市的公民生活中。
The installation's interactive story wall, made of backlit papers on a grid, invites visitors to share responses to the prompt: “I dream of a world where together we can…” The resulting narratives became a patchwork of voices documenting this challenging yet hopeful moment. The prompt was selected by Youth Fellows from a community-led, intergenerational initiative focused on engaging people in NYC’s civic life through beauty and joy.
交织装置由创新的材料制成，可承受大量公众使用
和纽约冬季的恶劣天气。我们公司寻求以不同寻常的方式使用普通材料，在该装置中，我们从建筑之外寻找灵感。中央长凳由致密的抗菌软木制成，软木由 100% 后工业回收的软木颗粒制成，上部面板由半透明聚丙烯网制成，通常用于农业应用，基础树脂面板由消费后回收材料制成。该结构的色调是一套有趣的节日风格，在赤红、苔绿和藏红花黄色中，我们呈现了一种更自然、更平静的传统冬季色彩。
Interwoven is constructed of an innovative palette of materials built to withstand heavy public usage and intense New York winter weather. Our firm seeks to use common materials in uncommon ways, and in Interwoven we looked outside of architecture for inspiration. The central bench is constructed of dense, anti-bacterial cork made from 100% post-industrial recycled cork grain. The upper panels are constructed of a translucent polypropylene netting typically used in agricultural applications. Base resin panels are constructed of post-consumer recycled content. The structure is a playful set of holiday hues; in terra cotta red, moss green, and saffron yellow, we presented a more natural, calming palette of traditional winter colors.
除了上面列出的环境材料考虑因素外，建筑师还为该结构的未来做了精心规划。临时设施通常在项目结束后立即送往垃圾填埋场，相反，我们为这个装置规划好了它以后的用处，这要求所有组件都能轻松安装和拆卸，所有与地平面的连接都能轻松适应不同的位置，所有零件都能轻松分解成适合小型卡车的尺寸。在设计过程中，我们还为该结构确定了第二个位置，目前我们正在将交织装置搬迁到康涅狄格州纽黑文的一个新滑板公园。
In addition to the environmental material considerations listed above, we carefully planned for an afterlife for the structure. Temporary installations are often disposed of immediately after their program ends and sent to a garbage landfill. Instead, we set out to design the project to have an afterlife, which required that all components were designed to be easily installed and de-installed, all connections to the ground plane could easily adapt to different locations, and all parts could easily be broken down into sizes that could fit in a small truck. During design, we also identified a second location for the structure, and we are currently in the midst of relocating Interwoven to a new skate park in New Haven, Connecticut.
