在今年的伦敦设计节上，艺术家Camille Walala在利物浦街车站后面建了一座色彩鲜艳的充气城堡，以帮助城市工人减压。

法国艺术家为Broadgate的交换广场设计了安装装置，该广场位于城市的车站后方。它的存在给每天路过广场的通勤者或是那些在午餐时间放松的人，增加了一些生活乐趣。

The French artist designed the installation for Broadgate's Exchange Square, which is located behind the station in the City. Her aim was to add fun to the daily routine of commuters who pass the square each day, or those who relax on the steps facing at lunch time.

Walala告诉Dezeen记者，“我只是想象在城市里工作的人们可能有点紧张，所以他们的想法是做一些事情，在这里他们可以出来闲逛。”

她补充说：“最初，我想做一个巨大的压力球，因为我想，如果人们想要来，他们只是想放松一下，然后挤点什么。我想做一些相当柔软的物体。”

"I just imagined people working in the city maybe they are a bit stressed so the idea was to do something where they can just come and hang out," Walala told Dezeen.
"Originally I wanted to do like a big, giant stress ball because I just thought that if people want to come and they just wanted to have a relaxing time and just squeeze something," she added. "I wanted to do something quite soft."

Walala别墅让人想起童年的充气城堡，尽管它没有膨胀的底座。

该设施邀请路人穿过四个拱门之一，触摸其巨大柔软的身体。四个充气的图腾状结构标志着草地广场的角落。

Villa Walala is reminiscent of childhood bouncy castles, although it doesn't feature an inflated base.
Instead, the passersbys are invited to walk through one of its four archways and touch its giant soft shapes. Four inflatable totem-like structures mark the corners of the grassed square.

乙烯基材料是典型的Walala风格，由混合条纹、圆圈和体块组成，共有七种不同的颜色。该项目共花费1200平方米的乙烯基来进行安装。

Typical to Walala's style, the vinyl material is patterned with a mix stripes, circles and blocks, in a total of seven different colours. It took 1,200 square metres of vinyl to create the installation.

版画也延伸到包括周围的小路，以及单色条纹和彩色对角线图案的相邻台阶。

2009年，Walala毕业于布莱顿大学的纺织品设计专业，之后在伦敦东部建立了自己的同名工作室。

Prints are also extended to cover the surrounding paving and adjacent steps in a mix of monochrome stripes, and colourful diagonals.
Walala graduated with a degree in textile design from the University of Brighton in 2009 before setting up her eponymous studio in east London.

今年早些时候，她用她标志性的彩色风格，在伦敦现代画廊里创造了一个迷宫。其他项目包括在Shoreditch用印花图案设计的一栋建筑，以及设计一系列孟菲斯风格的家居用品。

Walala别墅是今年伦敦设计节的标志性项目之一，该设计节将于2017年9月16日至24日举行。Sam Jacob和MINI已经联手打造了另一个——一座带图书馆的微型住宅。

Earlier this year, she used her signature colourful style to create a labyrinth inside London's Now Gallery. Her other projects include covering a building in Shoreditch with prints and designing a collection of Memphis-inspired homeware.
Walala's Villa Walala is one of the Landmark Projects of this year's London Design Festival, which runs from 16 to 24 September 2017. Sam Jacob and MINI have teamed up to create the other – a micro home with attached library.
