香港飘浮圣诞展亭

建筑师团队AaaM于今年圣诞在香港PMQ元创方庭院策划及设计了一个独一无二的圣诞展亭。在这个现代主义建筑物里，集当代艺术、设计与古迹活化共冶一炉的氛围下，随风晃动的绚丽气球，任意飘游，在没有雪景的香港，为公众带来飘飘冬日的另类城市风景。相对于现今高度商业化的香港，各大购物中心都争相以大型圣诞装置粉饰一番，而AaaM今年则为这创意地标设计了一个17米 X 11米的半透明海浪形轻型结构，悬挂于7米高庭院之上。海浪形云朵在展庭上空，尤如云浮腾动，外围则利用轻薄半透明鱼丝交织围网，飘移不定的缤纷氦气球，随微风在网内跃起降下，与参观者在这自由空间交流互动。

AaaM Architects designed a Christmas pavilion within the courtyard of a modernist heritage building in Hong Kong Central where color balloons could float freely within the space. In lieu of Christmas tree commonly seen in other commercial venue in the city, a 17m x 11m semi-translucent wave-like structure was hung 7-meter high above the open courtyard of former Police Married Quarters, now a Creative Hub. The wave-like cloud forms an enclosure underneath where thousand-meter of fishline were weaved to form a translucent barrier around the pavilion. Helium and air infilled balloon of vivid color were kept freely dancing in the wind within the space while visitors could experience and interact with the gently floating balloons around them.

网布常用于卷帘，其穿透特性配合阳光折射，串成动人流线。建筑师团队利用万米半透轻柔颜色网布条构成海浪形云朵，连绵起伏的简洁飘逸形态结合阳光折射，灯光投影及几何形状的重力支点设计，并以不同密度分佈，让日光穿透其中。设计亦融合幻灯投射，瓣瓣幻光，梦幻悦目，编织日夜迥然不同的城市风景。透过匿藏于幻光贝壳的吹风机，百多个色彩缤纷的氦气在空间内飘移游动，公众更可以即场彩绘气球, 发挥创意的同时也可参与塑造展览体带来最简单亲切的欢乐氛围。

Largely made from vinyl mesh commonly used for roller blind, the lush color of translucent mesh strips were arranged to form a compact mass where their density were meticulously manipulated to create gradual visual changes in response to natural light porosity, projection coverage and the weight of geometrical shape. Lighting projections were installed to give an ever-changing glow on the hanging cloud at night while natural light penetrates through the cloud to the open playground in the daytime. Hundreds of Helium and air infilled balloon were placed in the pavilion with different color theme during Christmas holidays, and visitors were invited to draw on them and let theirs float into the space. A glowing shell-like translucent wind blower was also installed to keep the air flowing and generate the movement of the floating balloons inside.

AaaM建筑设计工作室联合创办人陈树仁先生表示：“一如我们过去的公共空间设计，团队希望结合建筑艺术、灯光效果与日常科学小知识，在元创方创造一个自由自在的互动交流场景。这种互动是开放，多维度，多面向的，它不单是人与建筑装置的互动，而更多的是人与人之间的互动关系。我们期待这种互动能让大家慢下脚步，放下日常，随心想象，并沉淀在这愉悦的气氛中。”

“With the idea of combining architectural design and lighting effect together with primary school science, we hope to create a stage of freedom for imagination and interaction. Within this space, the interaction is open and multi-dimensional, and that people could slow down their pace, let go of their routine and immerse into the festive mood of Christmas,” said Shuyan Chan, the co-founder of AaaM Architects.

在“飘浮圣诞展亭”展览期间，亦会变身成为开放式表演场景，为不同形式的表演提供最佳舞台,当中包括手风琴与中国拉弦乐器胡琴乘联演出，为参观者带来更丰富想像，释放无尽快乐。

The pavilion will also accommodate various performances of different themes including a joint performance of piano accordion and Chinese “Huqin” a bowed string instrument.
