彩虹森林丨美国丨Office Kovacs

彩虹森林是一项位于美国佐治亚州雅典市的公共性永久互动装置。该项目由36根细长且色彩鲜艳的柱体组成，按网格排列。每一根“树”均由标准的8英寸×8英寸×8英寸光面混凝土砌块堆叠而成，高度达12英尺。彩虹森林源于一种普遍存在的混凝土砌块建造方式，每根柱体的每一个立面均被赋予不同的色彩。

Rainbow Forest is a public and permanent interactive work that is sited in Athens, Georgia. Consisting of a grid of 36 slender brightly colored columns, each “tree” of Rainbow Forest is constructed out of a standard smooth finish 8” x 8” x 8” concrete masonry unit that is stacked 12’ tall. Rainbow Forest is generated by the ubiquitous building method of concrete block construction and each face of each column is a different color.

这些柱体以网格方式组织，形成一个可供人们漫步、休憩、野餐的空间，同时也框取了通往奥科尼河绿道的景观视线。通过涂覆一系列明亮色彩，彩虹森林不仅与周边自然环境形成互补，也为影像拍摄提供了富有表现力的背景。

Arranged in a grid they will create a space to wander through, lounge, have a picnic as well as frame views of the Oconee Rivers Greenway. Painted a range of bright colors, Rainbow Forest also provides a backdrop for images that compliments the natural surroundings.

对日常建筑材料与施工技术的运用，不仅使该作品能够在佐治亚州雅典市的气候条件下以较低维护成本长期存在，同时也彰显了建筑与艺术在公共领域中重新想象日常生活方式的潜力。

The use of everyday building materials and techniques not only creates a work that can last in the weather conditions of Athens, Georgia with minimal maintenance, but also celebrates the role that architecture and art can have in reimagining the everyday life of people in the public sphere.
