Vermilion Sands在一行大树和自然生长的绿色植物下面，它为和谐艺术节的组织者解决了很多问题。尽管这个棚子最初仅被当作一个新奇的公共场所，它还有为人们遮蔽阳光的作用。棚内包括一个综合喷雾系统，既能为屋顶植物补水还能为下方提供凉气。这260块模块中的每一块都是由套有种子和肥料混合物的土工布构造的钢结构形成。这些模块是都在西温哥华Millennium公园前的温床里培育而成的。此项目名字来源于英国小说家詹姆斯·巴拉德的一系列短篇小说作品。Vermilion Sands指的是当代建筑设计的“杂交”性质，由此举出了自然创造和人工建造之间的依存关系。Vermilion Sands是巴拉德小说中对于未来世界描述的现实体现——一个充满自然与人工结合的景观世界。

Traveling beneath an array of large trees and naturally occurring greenery, Vermilion Sands solved numerous problems for the organizers of Harmony Arts Festival. Although the canopy served primarily as a stunning social space, it also provided shelter from the sun. The canopy included an integrated misting system, simultaneously hydrating the living roof while cooling the space below. Each one of the 260 modules was formed of a steel frame sewn into a geotextile fabric coated with a complex cocktail of seeds and fertilizer. The modules were grown offsite in a nursery prior to their installation in West Vancouver’s Millennium Park.

The project received its name from a series of short stories by English novelist JG Ballard. Vermilion Sands refers to the hybridized nature of contemporary architectural design, illustrating the inseparability of natural and artificial products. Vermilion Sands serves as a physical manifestation of the future described in Ballard’s stories – a world populated by the marriage of natural and artificial creations.
