Rotating and tilting ReActor house accommodates two artists for five days

在纽约北部，一对艺术家建造了由一根柱子保持平衡的住宅，并居住在里。住宅可以旋转和倾斜，让住宅里的人移动到地面。

Ward Shelley和Alex Schweder在OMI Art Center建造了这个可居住的ReActor 结构，它位于Ghent镇附近的哈德逊山谷。

这个建筑——据测量有44英尺（13.5米）长，八英尺（2.5米）宽——固定在一个混凝土柱上，离地15英尺（4.6米）。

A pair of artists built and lived in this house balanced on a pole in upstate New York, which spun around and inclined as they moved around it during their week-long residency.
Ward Shelley and Alex Schweder built the inhabitable ReActor structure at the OMI Art Center, which is located in the Hudson Valley near the town of Ghent.
The sculpture – which measured 44 feet (13.5 metres) long and eight feet (2.5 metres) wide – sat atop a concrete column, raising it 15 feet (4.6 metres) off the ground.

柱上的铰链连接能让整座建筑倾斜并围绕中心点旋转，建筑随着居民的重量转移。

该平衡结构由木框架和落地窗组成，外观让人联想起现代住宅，比如菲利普•约翰逊在康涅狄格的玻璃房。

该项目设计的主题——木材：从结构到外壳 ——为了证明材料使用的不同可能性。

“在建筑师和设计师的手中，原材料的使用提供了对无限的可塑性和正式的可能性的初步认识，”Architecture OMI的负责人Warren James说。

A hinge connected to the column allowed the entire piece to tilt and rotate around a central point as the weight of its inhabitants shifted.
The balancing structure comprised a wooden frame with floor-to-ceiling windows, with a look reminiscent of Modernist houses like Philip Johnson's Glass House in Connecticut.
The objective of the exhibition – Wood: From Structure to Enclosure – was to demonstrate the different possibilities for the use of this material.
"The use of primary materials in the hands of architects and designers offers a glimpse at endless plastic and formal possibilities," said Architecture OMI director Warren James.

每位艺术家拥有对称的生活空间。每一半的“房子”，包括基本的烹饪设施，中央的浴室由两位住户共享。

这两人把这种艺术形式称为“社会关系建筑”。两位参与者都在这个住宅里住了五天，处于公众的视线里。

每位参与者在其中度过他们的一天，建筑的平衡会产生微妙的变化而影响到对方。

“该结构会因为居住者的活动、外部的力量和室内的条件而旋转，使建筑和它的居民之间产生明显的亲密关系，”艺术家说。

Symmetrical living spaces occupied by each artist. Each half of the "house" included basic cooking amenities, and a central bathroom was shared by both occupants.
The duo calls this art form "social relationship architecture". Both participants lived in the sculpture for five days, in full view of the public.
As each participant went about their day, subtle changes in balance directly influenced the other.
"The structure rotates in response to its inhabitants' movements, exterior forces, and interior conditions, making visible the intimate relationship between architecture and its inhabitants," said the artists.

这座旋转和倾斜的房屋于2016年6月27日展出，并于5天后在2016年的6月31日结束。

“开展Architecture OMI活动是为了促进建筑、艺术与景观相互交叉项目的研究，”根据基金会的说法。

它为艺术家和建筑师提供了在其广袤的土地上建造设施的机会。该基地包300英亩的农田，森林和湿地。

类似大规模的艺术设施也能在该区域中被发现。Storm King艺术中心就在纽约市的周围，每年会迎来知名艺术家，比如Richard Serra、Maya Lin和Andy Goldsworthy，在它的土地上建造艺术装置。

The performance in the spinning and tilting house opened 27 July 2016 and ended five days later, on 31 July 2016.
"The Architecture OMI program is conceived to facilitate projects exploring the intersection of architecture, art and landscape," according to the foundation.
It provides artists and architects with the opportunity to build installations on its vast tracts of land. The site encompasses 300-acres of farmland, forests and wetlands.
Similar large-scale art installations can be found elsewhere in the region. The Storm King Art Centre, just outside New York City, annually welcomes well-known artists such as Richard Serra, Maya Lin, and Andy Goldsworthy to build art installations on its land.
