从该地区几千年前的土方工程到19世纪发展起来的通航运河和铁路网络，哥伦布的制造业和制造传统深深植根于这座城市的历史和地形记忆中。在工业革命的鼎盛时期，哥伦布遍布着数百家商店和工厂，生产从牙签到机车等各种工业产品。哥伦布周围的城镇，特别是那些被称为“黑钻石社区”的城镇，为这座城市的伟大制造业提供了原材料和燃料。位于城市制造业中心的“制造者纪念碑”突显了High Street作为该市制造业中心的地位，并对当地不断发展的工业与城市景观表达了尊敬与赞扬。

From the region’s indigenous earthworks dating back thousands of years to the sprawling network of navigable canals and railroads developed throughout the 19th century, Columbus’ tradition of making and manufacturing is embedded within the city’s historical and topographical memory. At the height of the Industrial Revolution, Columbus was flecked with hundreds of shops and facilities producing everything from toothpicks to locomotives. The towns surrounding Columbus, particularly those referred to as black diamond communities, provided the raw materials and fuel that powered the city to greatness. Situated within this manufacturing epicenter, THE MAKERS MONUMENT memorializes High Street’s position as a maker hub and celebrates the region’s ever-evolving landscape.

从外观上看，伸展的晶体结构以碎片的形式从地球上延伸出来，与当地众多的沉积矿床相呼应。蕾丝一般的表面，由一组环环相扣的图案组成，从木马到斧头再到哨子，不同的图案描绘了在城市范围内制造的各种产品形象。光线透过镂空的图案轮廓形成不同的光影，代表了一天中不断变化的时光，让人们不禁联想到城市的工业生产历史，同时反映了High Street沿线充满活力的工业活动。“制造者纪念碑”邀请观众靠近并观察其表面的钢格结构，让人们亲手解开当地工制作传统和当前制作实践之谜。

Extending from the earth in a tectonic fragment, the outstretched crystals nod to the region’s many accumulated deposits. Its lace-like surface, an assembly of interlocking cutouts ranging from rocking horses to axes to whistles, diagrams the vast collection of items made within the city limits. Light seeps through its perforated silhouette in varying patterns that shift throughout the day, recalling the city’s production history while reflecting the vibrant activity along High Street. THE MAKERS MONUMENT invites viewers to investigate its steel latticework, considering the puzzle of objects that influenced the region’s handcrafted lineage and its current practices of making.

艺术目标 Artwork Goals

从设计之初，“制造者纪念碑”就注定要成为街景中的标志性艺术品。该作品落在Short North街区与南部大学城的交汇处，旨在展现出充满活力的地区氛围，激发当地的凝聚力。该艺术作品高度关注High Street的制造业历史，突出了该地区独特的制造文化，同时也成为了街景中的变革元素。

From its inception, The Makers Monument was meant to be a signature artwork in the landscape. It was intended to celebrate the dynamic location, at the confluence of the Short North neighborhood and the southern University District and inspire togetherness. Since the Artwork focuses on High Street’s maker history the artwork highlights the regions unique maker culture while acting as a transformative element in the streetscape.

大胆的造型是“制造者纪念碑”设计的关键性元素，这对纪念性作品来说是必不可少的，而本作品又不乏接地气的感觉，与场地融于一体。强烈的棱角形式从地面和人行道上拔地而起，有意营造出“不和谐”的印象，但同时穿孔结构立面和微妙的反射表面又使该艺术品在感官上与周围环境相连。“制造者纪念碑”大胆地展示了哥伦布制造业文化的丰富性，同时又强调出作品的在地性，与周围街景紧密联系在一起。

Boldness was a key element in the design of the Maker Monument however it was essential for the monumental work to still feel grounded and integrated into the site. The strong angular form protruding spectacularly from the ground and over the walkway is intentionally jarring but simultaneously the perforated structural façade and subtly reflective surface allows the artwork to feel connected to the surrounding environment. The Makers Monument makes a bold statement about the richness of Columbus maker culture but also feels tailored and connected to the streetscape.
