由国际设计创意事务所CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati与建筑师Italo Rota合作完成的项目 —— “感知能量”，于2022年米兰设计周上亮相，该艺术装置将城市植物园变身为一座充满奇幻氛围的能源公园。设计利用500米数字弯曲铜管，创造了一条感知路径，在这里，人们可以探索不同形式的可持续能源生产和消耗过程。该项目是设计周INTERNI Re.Generation展览的一部分。项目中所使用的铜由世界上最大的铜材料生产商之一KME提供。“感知能量”装置将向公众开放至2022年6月13日。

At Milan Design Week 2022, international design and innovation office CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati and architect Italo Rota unveil a project that turns the city’s Botanical Garden into an energy park. “Feeling the Energy” makes use of 500 meters of digitally bent copper pipe to create a sensorial path where people can explore different forms of sustainable energy production and consumption. The project is developed for Plenitude as part of the Design Week’s INTERNI Re.Generation exhibition. The copper is provided by KME, one of the world’s largest producers of this material. “Feeling the Energy” will be open to the public until 13th June 2022.

该装置旨在邀请人们在米兰历史悠久的植物园中漫步，园内共分为六个区域，分别为：能量旋转木马、花园管弦乐队、领先标志、动力振动、阳光下的百叶窗，以及太阳能花园。这些装置能够向人们直观地展示出阳光、风以及人们的运动是如何产生出能量的。在白天，装置能够吸收并贮存产生出的清洁能源，然后在夜晚利用这些能源照亮整个植物园。此外，装置产生出的能源还为水雾器提供动力，在为花园小径提供清凉的同时，滋养植物园中的植被。

The installation invites people to wander through Milan’s historical Botanical Garden, in a sequence of six main stages: Energy Carousel, Garden Orchestra, The Leading Logo, Powering Vibrations, Blinds in the Sun, Solar Garden. These make it possible to directly experience how energy can be produced from the sun, wind, and people’s movements. Each step features a different object, all made of copper. The installation harvests and stores energy during the day, using it to illuminate the Botanical Garden in the evening. It also powers water vaporizers that will cool the garden pathways while at the same time nourishing the vegetation.

踏入植物园中，一个宏伟的旋转装置首先映入人们的眼帘，在这里，人们可以直观地体验到运动所带来的能量。随后，游客们将从一系列“门洞”下方穿过，这段路程将伴随着意大利巴洛克作曲家安东尼奥·维瓦尔第的著名《四季》交响曲片段，该曲段原声由米兰交响乐团巴罗卡弦乐合奏团演奏。展览路径上还包含有一座巨大的“风铃”，邀请着人们来亲自演奏。此外，门廊隧道中还设有由彩色有机光伏板构成的隔断，漫步其间的人们可以自行将其打开或关闭。而树冠上的传感器则可以探测到人的存在，并激活薄雾装置，为人们提供清凉。

Visitors access the Botanical Garden and immediately discover a majestic carousel where they can experience the energy in motion. After that, people can walk under a series of portals that plays sequences from the renowned Four Seasons symphony by Italian baroque composer Antonio Vivaldi, performed by the Ensemble Strumentale la Barocca of the Symphony Orchestra of Milan. The exhibition path also includes a giant vibraphone which people are invited to play. Moreover, a tunnel with colored diaphragms laden with organic photovoltaic panels can be opened or closed by those wandering through it, while a canopy features sensors that can detect people’s presence and activate a cool mist.
