椭圆亭

徘徊和作用于内与外，光与影，开放与封闭之间，Ellipsicoon为来访者提供了一处难得的平静处所，供人闲暇小憩，安静阅读，独自沉思，与人交谈等活动。Ellipsicoon是一处沉静心灵的静谧之所，让人获得短暂的尘世逃脱和身心的释放。

Inside-outside, light and shade, open and closed, the Ellipsicoon offers a tranquil space for either solitary moments of rest, reading or contemplation, or a cocoon-like theatre for conversation and communication. The Ellipsicoon pavilion is a space for the mind, for moments of ephemeral escape, for rumination or for simply being.

该装置经由数字化设计，再由技能娴熟的手艺人亲手编织。其连续的外表面全部采用百分百可回收高密度聚乙烯（HDPE）打造。

Designed and developed digitally, then handwoven by highly skilled craftsmen, the continuous sculptural surface of the pavilion is constructed from strands of 100% recyclable high-density polyethylene (HDPE).

结构的弯曲随着其体量的升高而向内收缩，使圆形开口同时具有内外双面性，让人在被连续编织曲面包裹的同时，感受到自身和凉亭与周围自然环境的紧密相连。

The curved sides of the structure taper inwards as they rise, enabling the rounded openings to facilitate moments of being simultaneously both inside and outside – physically and intimately connected to the surroundings and to nature, whilst wrapped and enclosed by the soft, continuous curves of the woven structure.

凉亭略高于地面，其内部为来访者提供了封闭和半封闭式的下沉坐席，以及沿着凉亭外围而设的曲面坐席。不同尺度的椭圆形开口在为凉亭内部提供照明的同时，也将不同方位的户外景色围框在内。

Upon crossing the threshold the user stands slightly above ground level, after which a sunken seating area offers enclosed and semi-enclosed space, with built in seating that follows the fluid contours of the space. Here differently proportioned elliptical openings frame views to the surroundings whilst providing daylight to the interior.
