Austin+Mergold, Maria Park & Cornell University build city of dreams from metal grain bins in New York

装置‘Oculi’由美国建筑实践公司Austin+Mergold LLC，Maria（玛利亚）公园工作室和康奈尔大学联合开发，旨在促进建筑和设计团体的可持续性思维，要求他们对用于其工作的材料进行再利用。该结构由七个金属谷仓组成，现设立于纽约州长岛。

Developed by American architecture practice Austin+Mergold LLC, Maria Park Studio and Cornell University, the ‘Oculi’ installation aims to promote sustainability-oriented thinking amidst the architecture and design communities, requiring them to dispose or reuse the materials utilized for their works. The structure comprises seven metal grain bins and is set on Governors island in New York.

Austin+Mergold 和 Maria Park（玛利亚）公园的合作，抬升的Oculi——其原型是有40年历史的金属谷仓，来自俄亥俄州德尔普斯的一个农场——装置用一系列形成阴影的方式追踪太阳的轨迹，形成通透的天空框景。内部墙壁被涂上了白天天空的颜色，以吸引观看者在建筑物下面漫步，发现内壁和天空的色调成为一体的时刻。

Austin+Mergold and Maria Park’s field of Elevated Oculi – made from 40-year-old metal grain bins procured from a farm in Delphos, Ohio – frames unobstructed views of the sky while tracking the path of the sun with a range of shadow patterns. The interior walls are painted with colors of the daytime sky, inviting viewers to wander below the structure to find a moment when the tones of the paint and sky become one.

作为美国农业工业时代的文物，这些罐子被以不同的方式重新设计，与罗马中世纪的居民所重新占领的古代帝国遗迹不同。谷仓是我们当代的‘Spolia’（掠夺），是一种被重新利用的建筑化石——同时也是一种未来的资源，一种对过去的思考，一种城市和乡村生活之间的联系。

As artifacts of the American agro-industrial age, these bins have been repurposed in ways not unlike how medieval inhabitants of Rome reoccupied the remains of the ancient empire. The grain bin is our contemporary ‘Spolia’, a repurposed building stone — at once a resource for the future, a contemplation about the past, and a connection between urban and rural life.

“本项目的设计理念源自谷仓与绝大多数当代建筑的不同，其大多是为拆卸而设计的，” Jason Austin 和Aleksandr Mergold解释道。装置利用了工业时代的另一种产品——Unistrut System单支柱系统（1926年获专利）——将这些谷仓罐重新建造成环状组合的状态，从地面上升高抬起，就得到了从农田到现象学和日光空间的转变。

‘The project relies on the idea that the grain bins, unlike the vast majority of contemporary buildings, are designed for disassembly,‘ explain Jason Austin and Aleksandr Mergold. Using another product of the industrial age, the Unistrut System (patented 1926), the bins were re-erected as a field condition of rings, elevated above the ground, transforming them from agrarian into phenomenological and helionomical spaces.’

谷仓罐被拆装后，将会被改造成一个位于纽约中心的试验性建筑集群。在那里，谷仓罐的内部会映射出纽约夏季天空的颜色。

Following de-installation, the bins will be reconstructed as an experimental housing cluster in central New York. There, an interior view of the bin will occasionally reveal a color of a New York city summer sky.
