LA architects设计的流浪猫之家
LA architects design shelters for homeless cats

由专筑网姚小俊，李韧编译

一些装饰性的植物、一个包装盒或者是一大团麻绳，这些看似琐碎的东西经过洛杉矶建筑师和设计师们的一番改造，就成了美轮美奂的流浪猫之家。

在洛杉矶，每年都举办FixNation募捐活动，FixNation是一家动物慈善机构，这13个流浪猫之家的设计也正是来源于此。

这些设计作品将在网上拍卖，然后为该动物慈善机构募捐资金，让该机构有足够的资金为野生猫、流浪猫进行绝育手术。

在洛杉矶，为流浪猫进行绝育手术很有必要，整个洛杉矶流浪猫的数量在一百万到三百万只之间，是美国流浪猫数量最多的城市。

A pouf packed with plants, a faceted flat-packed hideaway and a big ball of twine are among the shelters that Los Angeles-based architects and designers have created for the city's stray cats.
The 13 outdoor shelters were created as part of the annual Giving Shelter fundraiser for FixNation – for the Architects for Animals charity based in the city.
The designs will be auctioned online to raise money for the organisation, which offers spay and neuter services to feral, abandoned and stray cats.
The cause is particularly important in Los Angeles, which has one of the largest amounts of homeless cats in the US, estimated between one to three million.

Abramson Teiger建筑事务所设计的“白色管道”

Abramson Teiger建筑事务所设计了一个大版本的管道形猫窝，这个猫窝由中心相互交叉的三根白色管道构成。猫可以从管道的一端钻到另一端，并在其中随意翻滚。

White Jack by Abramson Teiger Architects
Three white tubes criss-cross at a central point to form this shelter, which Abramson Teiger Architects designed as a bigger version of the pronged toys known as Jacks. In this take, cats can walk up the holes in the tubes to tip them over.

Abramson Teiger建筑师事务所设计的“毛线球”

Abramson Teiger建筑师事务所设计的第二个猫窝类似于毛线编织的大球，球上有一个圆形的开口，猫可以通过这个开口进出。在猫窝的底座上也缠绕着毛线，多出来的一段毛线也成为了猫咪的玩具。

Ball of Twine by Abramson Teiger Architects
Abramson Teiger Architects' second shelter resembles a large ball of woven string punctured with a circular opening for cats to clamber inside. A length of left-over material wraps the base for them to play with.

CallisonRTKL

CallisonRTKL建筑事务所设计的猫窝被称为猫的“教堂”，它由尖屋顶、彩色的玻璃窗和一个微型的迪斯科球构成。铺着地毯的斜坡从后方延伸至前方的睡眠区域。

Described as a "cathedral" for cats, CallisonRTKL's design includes a pointed roof, colourful glass windows and a miniature disco ball. A carpeted ramp leads up from at the rear into a sleeping nook fronted with a big triangular opening.

D3 Architecture

D3建筑事务所采用的材料全部是一些废旧的物品，睡眠区域悬挂在猫窝的中央，由外部金属框架上的悬线所固定。设计师将废弃的金属空调风管环绕并扭曲，为猫咪设计了玩耍的迷宫。

Sourcing trash materials from alleyways, D3 Architecture has looped and twisted an abandoned metallic air-conditioning duct to create a passageway for cats. A bed is suspended in the middle and held up by suspension wires attached to the outer steel frame.

Meow Miaow by ES-EN-EM

这个团队的设计借鉴了折纸的要素，猫窝使用三角形的胶合板拼接而成，相邻的两块胶合板之间使用铝合金钢琴铰链连接，这个橙色的多面结构空间可以住进很多猫咪，与此同时，猫窝还可以折叠，方便来回移动。

A number of cats can occupy the space inside this faceted orange structure, which is made up of plywood triangles joined by aluminium piano hinges. The team based the structure on paper origami, designing it to be flat-packed and easily moved elsewhere.

Flora-Gato by Formation Association, Terremoto Landscape and Arktura

设计师将西班牙青苔和韩国青草填充在再生塑料骨架之间，设计出了这款“Flor-Gato”。它具备了双重功能，一是为猫咪提供住所，二是为慈善组织的志愿者提供座位。

Spanish moss and Korean grass are packed in between recycled plastic ribs to create Flor-Gato, which has a dual function of providing shelter to cats and a seat for the charity's volunteers.

HKS建筑事务所设计的“我们不能和谐相处吗？”

HKS建筑事务所设计的猫窝是由板条组成，它的形状像从中间切开的半条鱼，鱼肚子的一端形成猫窝的入口，另一端逐渐变窄，形成鱼尾，高低不同的三个鸟巢竖立在鱼形的猫窝上方。

Can't We All Get Along by HKS
Three bird houses sprout from the slatted wooden frame of HKS Architects' cat den, which is shaped like a fish. It is sliced in half to create the entrance on one side, and tapers towards the end to form a tail on the other side.

HOK

全球著名建筑设计公司HOK建筑师事务所设计了这款猫窝，他们使用白色粘衬的管堆叠并包裹在一起，形成了7个可供猫咪睡觉的小窝。同时使用仿木纹的材料包裹在管子的外面，无论在哪里，这个小窝都为猫咪提供非常牢靠的保护。

Global firm HOK has stacked and wrapped white felt-lined pipes to create seven cosy sleeping chambers for kittens. Faux wood is placed on the exterior of the tubes to protect them and make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Knowhow Shop

这个外面覆盖着微小的瓦片、棱角分明的猫窝是由Knowhow Shop建筑事务所设计，猫窝两端的开口形状不一致，底座上覆盖了羽毛。

Kollin Altomare建筑事务所设计的“猫赢了，猫赢了！”

在Kollin Altomare建筑事务所的设计中，蓝色半“W”形状的结构固定在木制的环形平台的两侧，同时，一对木头斜坡也通向这个平台，平台的中心竖有一个竿，猫咪通过斜坡爬上平台后就能抓到这个竿。

Cat's Win! Cat's Win! by Kollin Altomare Architects
Two halves of a blue "W" sandwich the circular structure in Kollin Altomare Architects' design. A pair of ramps lead up from either side to the central wooden platform, where cats can scratch a material pole.

Unfurled by Perkins+Will

Perkins+Will建筑事务所设计的这个螺旋状的猫窝使用了一系列的木栅格，这个猫窝由许多零部件组成，可以进行不同形式的组合。

Perkins+Will built this coil-shaped shelter using a series of wooden grids. The structure comes as a kit of parts and can be reassembled in different ways.

Stantec

Stantec建筑事务所受到了拱形猫背的启发，设计了这个猫窝，两个弯曲的胶合板组成了框架，中间的红色绳子不但可以拉紧木框，还可以让小猫玩耍。地面上铺设的白色人造毛皮则是小猫的床。

The arch of a cat's back informed Stantec when shaping the two curved plywood frames that make up this shelter. Red string is pulled taut between the wood for the cats to play with, while a faux fur white bed is set below for sleeping.

Catosphere by Standard Architecture

标准营造建筑事务所设计的猫窝由球形的混凝土壳组成，混凝土被铜制的四个腿托起来，中央部分被回收的木材制成的百叶窗分割成两半，天气炎热时可以打开百叶窗通风，天气寒冷时则将其关闭。
