彩绘城市庇护所·纽约公共空间激活装置 Dikhroos

如果我们透过一块蓝色玻璃板看事物，就算天空灰暗，景色苍白，我们肉眼所见的一切也如同沐浴在阳光之中—— 歌德《颜色论》

Dikhroos是一个公共空间的激活装置，它被设计为一个能够以各种形式组装的便携式的帐篷。根据不同的光照环境，它将令使用者置身于一个持续变化的彩色空间。帐篷的造型象征着流浪生活（尤其是中亚一些特殊地区）的庇护所，它们由手编的牦牛毛绳和几根竹杆搭建而成，十分易于装配和运输。

“If we look through a blue pane of glass, everything afterwards appears in sunshine to the naked eye, even if the sky is gray and the scene is colorless”. — Goethe, Theory of Colours

Dikhroos is a public space activator conceived as a portable tent adaptable to different modes of assembly. It engages the users through its properties of a chromatic space that constantly changes depending on the condition of light. The tent typology is symbolic of housing and sheltering for the nomadic life, especially in specific regions of Central Asia. These tents are held up using hand spun yak wool rope and a limited number of wooden poles. They are easy to assemble and light to transport.

Architensions设计的帐篷原型是为Java Studios举办的Greenpoint Open Studios 2017而设计，设计师研究了如何通过竹竿来支撑一个简易的组合物，同时重新思考如何为帐篷打造一个能够遮阳避雨的薄膜。这层薄膜充当了一种介质，能够在庭院或任何城市的公共空间内，令使用者与周边环境产生联系。它为人们观察现实以及与现实的互动提供了不同的方式。3M公司为其生产了二向色性的乙烯基薄膜。这一全新复合材料所具有的光学性质使其能够在抵挡雨水和阳光的同时，产生多种多样的色彩效果。除此之外，该薄膜还能过滤掉97%的紫外线，尤其适合放置在夏天。

Architensions reimagines the tent typology for Greenpoint Open Studios 2017 hosted by Java Studios, studying a simple assembly of bamboo poles to maintain the idea of an easy and fast aggregation of elements and at the same time rethinking the protective layer of the tent which needs to provide shelter from the rain and the sun. We treated the layer as an intermediate material through which the user will relate to their surroundings, whether it is a courtyard in an urban environment, or other public spaces within our cities. In our design this layer offers different ways of seeing or interacting with reality and it has been identified with a dichroic film produced by 3M applied on a vinyl sheet. This newly made composite panel is capable to perform the action of protecting from the rain and can also function as a shading device, producing a wide range of colorful effects and reflections as a result of its optical properties. Furthermore the film is able to filter 97% of the UV radiation from the sun making it a perfect for the summer.

“二向色性”一词来源于希腊语中的“dikhroos”一词，义为“双色的”，一般涉及能够将光束分解为两种波长的光学装置。在该项目中，二向色性的薄膜随着观察者的位置以及光照角度不断发生颜色上的变化，从而在地面上投射出彩虹色的动态表面。使用者能够从空间内部或周围体验到各种不同的情境，多彩空间中的视觉感受将与现实中的色彩形成互补。

The word dichroic is derived from the Greek dikhroos, meaning two-colored, and relates to any optical device which can split a beam of light into two beams with differing wavelengths, giving a dynamic look to these iridescent surfaces which changes colors depending on someone’s position or light angles transforming the tent in a chromatic space. The user will be able to experience many different conditions, according with the change of light during the day or its relative position within the space or its surroundings. Seeing through a chromatic space will give the possibility to reveal the complementary colors of reality.

这一8×8英尺的模块结构顶部有多个小面，是为了排泄雨水而设计。竹子作为环保材料只需要简单的捆绑和固定便能够轻松地与3D定制打印的连接件相适应。该模块可根据不同的功能和集会需要以不同的方式进行装配。

The basic 8’by 8’modular structure is designed with a faceted roof as a strategy to eliminate rain water. Bamboo was preferred because it’s a green material and it allows for simple peg & ties joints and can easily fit into custom 3D printed joints. The module allows for different configurations and modules assembly depending on the function and the type of gathering.

四方形的帐篷不断刺激着景观之中的观察者，彩色的屋顶如同昆虫的美丽翅翼。用约翰·伯格的话来说：“观察造就了围绕着我们的事物，我们用语言来解释这一世界，但语言永远不能驳回我们被它围绕的事实。”Dikhroos通过产生具有冲击力的自然现象，在公共空间和观察者之间建立了一种强大的联系。

The four follies with the function of stimulating“seeing”of the users will sit on the landscape with their iridescent faceted roofs like an insect with beautiful colored changing wings. In the words of John Berger “seeing establishes our place in the surrounding world, we explain that world with words, but words can never undo the fact that we are surrounded by it”. Dikhroos with its powerful natural phenomena will establish a strong link between public spaces and its visitors.
