加拿大蒙特利尔的艺术家Linda Covit在麦吉尔大学健康中心入口处创作了一个名叫Havre的艺术雕塑。
来自Linda Covit对gooood的分享。
MUHC（麦吉尔大学健康中心）是全世界一流的学术健康中心之一。这家新医院2015年4月将在Glen场地开业。它是一个再开发项目，将会制造三处场地里最先进的设备。Havre于2014年11月完工，是分布于新MUHC医院建筑群的11个公共艺术委任项目中最大的一个，也是魁北克政府融合艺术于建筑1%政策实行到现在得以实现的最大委任项目。
The MUHC (McGill University Health Centre) is one of the world’s foremost academic health centres. The new hospital, opening in April 2015 at the Glen site, is the redevelopment project that will create leading-edge facilities in three sites.
Havre was completed in November 2014, the largest of eleven public art commissions spread throughout the new MUHC hospital complex and the largest commission of the Quebec government’s Integration of art to architecture 1% policy realized to date.
建筑场地位于入口地面，设计目标包括对于路上交通和附近火车上的通勤者而言位置显眼，吸引人们进入这片有许多公共花园的景观优美的区域，并使其成为医院的一个代表性象征。一方面Havre被规划进这片广阔区域，但它又保留了一种更为个人化的体验。外形像“雕塑的怀抱”，它欢迎病人、参观者、员工和行人通过三道“门”进入这件艺术品内，提供了一种个性化体验。
Sited on the entranceway grounds the objectives included being highly visible to road traffic and to commuters in the nearby trains, drawing people into the landscaped site with its many public gardens, and becoming an iconic symbol for the hospital. While scaled to the immensity of the site Havre also retains a more intimate experience. Conveyed as a “sculptural embrace” it welcomes patients, visitors, staff and passers-by into the artwork through three "doors", offering a personal experience.
白天，自然光线透过这件艺术品，投映出阴影的图案，这些图案随不同时刻、日期和季节发生着变化。夜间，每三十分钟，三道连续光线以微弱的蓝/蓝绿色调持久洒向艺术品，这些颜色让人联想起空气（天空）和水，这些都是生命的基本元素。
During the day natural light projects patterns of shadows through the artwork, transforming with the hours, days and seasons. During evening hours three sequences each thirty minutes long bathe the artwork in subtle shades of blue / blue-green, colours that evoke both air (sky) and water, elements essential to life.
