1 多人合力建造一座完整的泡泡屋/It takes a crowd to make a full Bubble Building.
泡泡屋是世界上最輕巧、最短暫的建筑,它全部由肥皂泡制成。泡泡屋促使人們?nèi)邮趾徒煌?,因為它只有在游人親自、集體動手建造時才會出現(xiàn)。泡泡屋由16個六邊形水池組成;這是水泡擠在一起時的天然形式。這些鋼水池在一起形成了35m2的反射面。游人可以穿上橡膠靴,小心地踏在上面。那是一種超現(xiàn)實的景象,仿佛人們在水面上行走。這座建筑本身是無法直接看到的;只有幾個把手控制著秘密。當每個人都站好自己的位置,拉起鋼架時,就會在一瞬間創(chuàng)造出瞬時的奇觀。巨大的彩虹色泡泡墻從地上升起,猶如用流動的玻璃造出的水立面,而且永不重復。一旦泡泡消失,無論童叟都會意猶未盡:重建,然后再重建。
雖然這座建筑是臨時性的,但所體現(xiàn)的建筑主題卻是紀念性的。它能讓人觸摸到建筑和重建的永恒循環(huán)。反復消失的泡泡暗示著經(jīng)濟的危機及其對房地產(chǎn)業(yè)乃至建筑的影響。在這個思路上,泡泡屋也與集體建造的新形式有關,因為建造一個單元至少需要兩個人。參加的人越多,建筑就越大。
來此參觀的游客可以照下泡泡,使他們自己的紀念版永久保留。社交媒體上的泡泡屋層出不窮。這座建筑真正的美就在這些照片中:記憶。泡泡屋歸根結底是關于美的。鹿特丹哲學家伊拉斯謨曾說“人就是肥皂泡”。生命稍縱即逝,曇花一現(xiàn)更美麗,因為她只存在于一瞬中。所以盡情享受吧?。ㄉ袝x 譯)

The World's Most Temporary Pavilion
The Bubble Building is the world's most delicate and temporary pavilion,made entirely of soap film. It instigates action and interaction, as it only appears when visitors build it themselves, yet collectively. The Bubble Building consists of 16 hexagonal shaped ponds; a form found naturally in clustered bubbles. Together, the steel ponds add up to 35m2of reflective surface. Visitors can carefully tread on here, wearing rubber boots. It's a surreal image, as if they are walking on water. The building itself is nowhere to be seen just yet; only a few handle bars hint at what needs to be done. Once everyone positions themselves and pulls up the steel frames, the pavilion shows. It is an instant spectacle. Immense iridescent soap walls appear, like a wafer thin facade of fluid glass, each time different. Once the bubble pops, what remains is the enthusiasm in young and old to do it again. And again.
While the building is temporary, the architectural themes it refers to are monumental. It makes tangible the eternal cycle of building and rebuilding. Additionally, the popping bubble alludes to the economic crisis and its effects on the real estate sector and consequently, architecture. Continuing this thought, the Bubble Building is also about emerging new forms of collective building, as it takes at least two persons to erect one cell of the pavilion. The more people join in, the larger the pavilion can potentially become.
Visitors of the pavilion are invited to eternalize their own momentary version of the pavilion in a bubble snapshot. With the aid of social media numerous different bubble buildings are joined. It is in these pictures that the true beauty of the pavilion is found: the remembrance. As ultimately, the Bubble Building is about beauty. Rotterdam philosopher Erasmus once said "homo bulla est", or "man is a soap bubble". Life is ephemeral. It is said that a temporary experience is more delightful, because of the fact that it is only temporary. So enjoy it to the fullest!

評論
青鋒: 表面看來,如果我們以維特魯威的三原則為準繩的話,泡泡建筑幾乎在各個方面都代表著建筑的對立面。堅固與實用自然無需解釋,美觀在維特魯威看來意味著和諧與穩(wěn)定的比例,泡泡的易變當然也是對這種古典美學理念的挑戰(zhàn)。設計者談到了這個裝置能夠讓人們產(chǎn)生的深刻聯(lián)想,比如泡沫經(jīng)濟,比如人生無常。但這不太可能是人們建造起泡泡時真正感受到的。在人們臉龐上我們看到的是驚奇與快樂,可以如此輕松地創(chuàng)造出一個奇觀,也無需為它的破滅感到惋惜。這倒是提示我們?nèi)绾螡M足人們輕松成為“建筑天才”的需求,或許新近發(fā)展的VR(虛擬現(xiàn)實)技術將有助于打開這一市場。
袁野: 看似常規(guī)的幾何形式城市景觀竟是令人意想不到的大“玩具”——眾人攜手創(chuàng)造出陽光下色彩斑斕的巨大肥皂泡,之后的回味如同一則詮釋瞬間與永恒主題的童話或寓言。也許這預示著未來的“建筑”模樣——既然沒有真正的所謂“永遠”,生命也不過歷史的瞬間,建筑何嘗不可以如肥皂泡般“臨時”,亦如肥皂泡般妙不可言。
Comments
QING Feng: If judged by Vitruvian Triad, the bubble building represents the opposite of architecture at the first glance. Not to mention firmness and utility – two of the three Vitruvian principles for good architecture–the bubble building is clearly a challenge to the third classical concept – beauty, based on the eternal harmony of proportion. The designer puts emphasis on the various associations the bubbles create in our minds, such as the economic bubble and the vicissitude of life. We can only speculate about the thoughts of the visitors who build the bubbles, but what we can actually see on their faces is amazement and pleasure. Here, it is so easy to create an instant spectacle, and there is no need to be sorry when the bubbles pop. The Bubble Building sends a message of people's desire to build something themselves without much effort. Probably, modern VR technology can help to establish a market in this new sector.
YUAN Ye: A seemingly normal geometric form in the urban landscape is an unexpected big "toy" –the Bubble Building, consisting of huge colorful bubbles created collectively by a group of people, and just like a fairy tale or a fable reminding us of the transience of time. It may herald a future building pattern–since there is no so-called "forever", and human existence is only a brief moment in the great cycle of life, building can be "temporary": nice to look but as fleeting as soap bubbles.
