来自英国诺丁汉艺术家Wolfgang Buttress的分享:

2015年米兰世博会英国馆是一个充满创意的超级铝制“大蜂巢”，其由诺丁汉艺术家Wolfgang Buttress和曼彻斯特建筑事务所BDP合作设计，然后由位于约克郡的公司Stage One建造而成。三个组合在建筑行业均获得过奖项荣誉，可谓强强联手。

英国馆是受到英国一种用于监控蜂窝健康的高科技蜂箱的启发设计而成，堪称一个英式创意发挥的极好例子，商业和科学被结合在一起用于解决全球性的挑战。英国是活跃繁忙的“蜂巢区”，在这里今日一些最严峻的挑战获得了解决办法，并得以与世界分享。







The stand-out UK Pavilion is designed by Nottingham-based artist Wolfgang Buttress and Manchester-based architectural practice BDP. It is constructed and manufactured by York-based company Stage One. All are award-winning British talent.

Inspired by scientific research and ground-breaking UK technology which monitors the health of beehives, the UK Pavilion is a great example of how UK creativity, business and science can be combined to solve a global challenge. The UK is a hive of activity where solutions to some of today’s greatest challenges are developed and shared with the world.









游客循着蜜蜂舞步的路线，穿越漫游过一系列景观。体验始于穿越果园的旅程，然后是野花草地，再往前是一个巨大的铝制蜂巢。蜂巢内，听觉视觉双管齐下，使游客的体验进一步强化，这种听觉视觉效果模仿了真实英式蜂巢内的运动。

英国馆里的英式食物由英国皇室供货许可证持有人和饮食提供商Mosimann’s提供，早餐、午餐和晚餐菜单均有变化。帝亚吉欧是独家酒品供应商。

英国馆的合作赞助商是捷豹路虎和英国航空。











The visitor follows the dance of a bee, travelling through a series of landscapes. The experience starts with a journey through an orchard, followed by a wildflower meadow and on to a giant aluminium beehive. Within the hive the visitor experience is further compounded by audio and visual effects, responding to movements within a real UK beehive.

British food on the UK Pavilion is showcased by Royal Warrant holders and caterers Mosimann’s, who will be offering changing breakfast, lunch and dinner menus. Diageo are the exclusive spirit providers.

UK Pavilion partners are Jaguar Land Rover and British Airways.

















Wolfgang Buttress – UK Pavilion artist and creative leadWolfgang Buttress creates simple, elegant and contextual sculptures which seek to define and celebrate a sense of place. Stepping out of the cacophony of the modern world, the artworks seek to establish a connection to something timeless and elemental. Increasingly, he has drawn inspiration from nature, collaborating with experts to explore and interpret scientific discoveries. Such collaborations enable something of the timeless mystery of nature to transpose into art.Elegance is achieved through integrated structural analysis, allowing the sculptures to be refined and reduced to an essential form. It is fundamental to his practice that artworks engage with their context and landscape. Over the last 20 years he has worked and collaborated with many renowned Architects, Landscape Architects and Structural Engineers including Lyons, LDA, Gillespies, BDP, GROSS MAX, Conran & Partners, Simmonds Studio, Price & Myers, Arup and Ramboll.Wolfgang has created sculptures on four continents, and has won an array of awards including the International Structural Steel Award for projects under ￡2million (2013) and was the first western artist to win the prestigious Kajima Gold Award in Japan for ‘Space’ (2014).
