加拿大冰河之上的“天空盒子”

inFuture Projects注意到冬季的加拿大草原天空具有令人惊叹的美感，于是他们利用成一定角度的镜面铝板，将天空景色引入到温尼伯（Winnipeg）冰冻河道上一座可移动的展亭中。

Recognizing the sublime qualities of the Canadian prairie winter skies, inFuture Projects have used angled planes of mirrored aluminum to draw the sky into a mobile pavilion on Winnipeg’s frozen river trail.

温尼伯冰冻河道长10km，保持着吉尼斯世界最长自然冰冻滑雪道的纪录，在冬季，有超过30万游客到这里体验冰雪河道。设计师目的是结合社交媒体和令人叹为观止的加拿大草原天空，吸引并建立与游客的联系。展亭内部映射着上方的天空，非常恰当地被称为“Skybox”。

Winnipeg’s frozen river trail holds the Guinness World Record for the longest naturally frozen skating trail in the world, at 10 kilometers long. Over 300,000 visitors experience the trail during the winter season. The designers aimed to engage and connect visitors using the combination of social media and the breathtaking Canadian prairie skies. Fittingly, the pavilion is known as “Skybox” as the interior is filled with the sky above.

Skybox使用45度角的镜面铝板将天空景象反射到展亭内，这块抛光铝板折叠成与整个展亭宽度相同的长椅。一块垂直的镜面铝板与反射天空的铝板相对，映射出游客坐在云层之中的影像。黑色的雪松外表与光线充足的室内形成对比，这是冰冻河道上一处隐藏的视觉惊喜。

Skybox uses 45-degree planes of mirrored aluminum to reflect the sky into the pavilion. The angled plane of polished aluminum is folded to form a bench which runs the full width of the pavilion. A mirrored vertical plane stands opposite of the reflected sky, allowing visitors to see their reflection sitting amongst the clouds. A blackened cedar exterior contrasts the light-filled interior, concealing a visual surprise along the frozen river trail.

Visitors are encouraged to upload their Skybox images through social media, recording the ever-changing prairie skies to a publicly accessible digital archive. The pavilion’s size was limited to the 8’x14′ prefabricated steel skid which allows it to glide along the frozen river. Winnipeg’s winter temperatures can drop below -50°C (-58°F), and to reduce time outdoors, Skybox was constructed in prefabricated 4’x8′ modules in a small workshop.
