海湾项目包括两个不同的互动装置，由The Urban Conga为佛罗里达州萨拉索塔市海湾保护协会的新海湾公园创作。设计工作在公园设计开发的早期阶段由社区参与推动。Urban Conga与设计了公园新区域的Agency Landscape and Planning合作，在第二阶段建设期间增加了这两个可互动的装置，以激发海滨的社交时刻。每个装置都利用景观、人的运动和演奏在海湾沿线激发社会连接。两件作品成为空间内的公共地标，都与周围的环境拥有独特的联系。装置的灵感来自于萨拉索塔海岸附近的海量珊瑚礁，他们像是被冲上海岸的独特珊瑚单体。

The Bay project consists of two different playable installations created by The Urban Conga for the Bay Conservancy’s new Bay Park in Sarasota, Florida. The designs for the work were driven by community engagement conducted in the preliminary phases of the park’s design development. The Urban Conga worked with Agency Landscape and Planning, who designed the new segment of the park to add two playable opportunities to serve as moments of social activation along the waterfront during the construction of Phase Two. Each installation utilizes the views, movement, and play to spark social connection along the bay walk. Both pieces become communal landmarks within the space, each uniquely relating to the surrounding context. Each of the installations was inspired by the large number of coral reefs that reside off the Sarasota coast, and were designed to appear as if they were two unique pieces washed up on the shore.

第一个装置名为“门户”，是一个流线型的社交秋千椅，框定出萨拉索塔湾的不同景观。在昼夜交替的时刻，太阳正好处于作品的圆形透视中。环环相扣的曲线形式构成了人行道旁的一个宽敞的集聚空间，人们可以坐在一起，或成群结队，共同欣赏日落的景色，谈论变迁的环境，甚至举办一场野餐。

The first installation, titled ‘Portal’, is a swinging social bench with a flowing form that frames out different views of Sarasota Bay. During the equinox, the sun sits perfectly within the work’s circular forced perspective. The interlocking curved forms are designed to frame a more ample gathering space along the walkway where people can sit and come together as a larger group to take in the sunset views, converse about the changing area, or even have a picnic.
