科学咖啡图书馆 · 应用科学之探究空间

非常感谢

Appreciation towards Anna Wigandt for providing the following description:

该项目旨在创造一个学习型的环境。当今时代，酒吧和咖啡厅的内部装饰多种多样，但其共性都是营造舒适的氛围。该项目则一反常态，它没有吸引人的休闲区域（甚至有时会刻意回避）。其设计意图是营造获取知识的环境，吸引对应用科学感兴趣的年轻人。

To create a place that will carry educational purposes. Nowadays, there are so many bars and cafes with diverse interiors. As a rule, their interiors appeal on emotional state by creating cozy atmosphere. This project lacks the idea of attracting a person into a comfort zone (which sometimes should be avoided). The idea of this space is in consolidating the process of knowledge acquisition and in involvement of young people interested in the applied science.

其理念是将公共空间与工作空间合为一体，为在此学习的年轻人提供更好的交流和互动的平台。模块化的桌子可以组合成用于讲座的几何方形桌台。该设计是开普勒“神秘的宇宙”理论的简单模型。

The idea is to combine public and working spaces and to help to increase the level of involvement of young people in the process of self-education. During the lectures, the modular table will be arranged into the one geometric pattern. The idea came from Kepler’ Mysterium Cosmographicum – the geometrical basis of the universe represented by regular polygons bound in one inscribed and one circumscribed circle at definite ratios. But in this case, the table is just a projection of that model.

咖啡厅内的灯具采用化学试管制成；提供私人物品储存柜和自助咖啡。此外，还有八个不同学科的书柜，分别为：土木与环境工程、造船、机械工程、设备工程、航天工程、化学工程、核能科学与工程及生物工程。

我觉得激发人们的科学兴趣十分有趣。也许，这个独特的设计能够通过科学知识的分享衍生出实际应用，带来新的技术和发明。

I find it very exciting to stimulate people’s interest in science. Perhaps, this particular design will be helpful in sharing existing scientific knowledge to develop practical applications, which will latter result in new technologies or inventions.

Interesting facts about the design process:

首先，咖啡厅内的主要元素是特意为该项目设计并制作的吊灯“Angewandte Chemie”（德语应用科学的意思）。这款吊灯看起来很像经典的枝形水晶灯，但是我用普通的化学试管取代了水晶灯。悬挂试管的框架由黑金属制成。

设计这个项目时，我偶然看到了一本1973年出版的前苏联杂志《科学与生活》，里面有一篇关于碳丝灯发明的文章十分有趣，让我看到了碳丝灯无与伦比的艺术美感。一个个介绍物理学家及其发明的故事深深吸引了我，如有伟大的俄罗斯科学家 Alexander Lodygin 于 1872 年发明了白炽灯泡，他提出了在大城市中推广这项发明的宏伟项目，并获得了专利。但投机活动让这个项目最终以失败告终。而爱迪生 1879 年才创立爱迪生电力照明公司销售白炽灯。

由于试管的尺寸太小，因此无法运用这些灯泡。除此之外，白炽灯更耗电，价格更高（$20 以上）。所以，最后我决定将试管涂成白兰地色和紫红色，里面采用 LED 灯照明。

First of all, the key element of this place is the lustre which was designed and then manufactured especially for this project. It is called Angewandte Chemie which stands for applied chemistry in German. As you can see it resembles the classic-look crystal chandeliers, but in my case, “crystals” are replaced by simple chemical tubes in a rigid frame made from black metal. There should have been gradient colored liquid instead of LEDs. But then I decided to keep this idea for another project.

While I was working upon this project, I’ve came across a soviet magazine called “Science and Life” published in 1973. There was an interesting article about the first carbon filament lamp. I found their aesthetics breathtaking. I was fascinated by stories about the physicists and their inventions. Thus, for example, I’ve discovered a great Russian scientist Alexander Lodygin, who invented the first incandescent lamp in 1872. Lodygin proposed large-scale projects on the coverage of large cities, and received patents for the method to develop lighting in 10 countries. But there was a speculation around this, which subsequently ruined project. Edison came to this only in 1879.

Now these lamps look like this (pictured below). As you know, now they became very popular among designers!

I couldn’t use them in my project because they are considerably bigger in size than the dimensions of the tube, and they consume larger amounts of electricity. Besides, their cost varies from $ 20 and up. So, I’ve found a solution to color tubes in shades of cognac and fuchsia and place LEDs inside the tubes.

The engineering part was made by 3 people including me. Now this lighting product is hanging in a club called Tipografia 5 in Chisinau, Moldova.
