在伦敦Somerset House的圆顶装置
Pollution-filled domes installed at London's Somerset House

之前前往伦敦萨默塞特府（ Somerset House ）参观的游客，可以体验到全球不同城市的空气污染环境，该艺术装置由艺术家Michael Pinsky创作。

这个为地球日创作的装置由五个相互连接的圆顶组成，这些圆顶在萨默塞特府（ Somerset House ）的庭院内形成一个环。每个圆顶都模拟了不同城市中的空气污染环境。

Visitors to Somerset House in London have been experiencing the air pollution of different global cities, inside a series of domes created by artist Michael Pinsky.
The installation, created for Earth Day, is made up of five interconnected geodesic domes that form a ring in the courtyard of Somerset House. Each of the domes contains an atmosphere that simulates the levels of pollution found in a different city.

游客进入一个圆顶空间，其中充有挪威海岸Tautra半岛非常纯净的自然空气。

在这之后，使用者可以在整个装置中循环体验伦敦、北京、圣保罗和新德里的空气。

Visitors enter a dome that contains the very pure air experienced in Tautra, the peninsular on the coast of Norway where the project originated.
From this dome they can circulate through the installation to experience what the air is like in London, Beijing, São Paulo and New Dehli.

现今世界上许多重要城市的空气污染水平不断上升，许多设计师正在尝试解决这个问题。米兰设计周的展览展示了隈研吾等设计师尝试解决空气污染问题的设计概念，去年Daan Roosegaarde设想了一种能清洁污染空气的自行车。

Pinsky在伦敦创作了这个装置，表达了每天城市中的空气污染程度，他认为空气污染完全可以避免。

With levels of air pollution rising in many of the world's major cities, numerous designers are looking to address the issue. An exhibition at Milan design week showcased concepts to reduce air pollution by designers including Kengo Kuma, while last year Daan Roosegaarde envisioned a bicycle that would clean polluted air.
Pinsky created the installation in London to highlight the levels of air pollution people living in a city experience daily – something he describes as entirely avoidable.



“在伦敦，空气污染每天都会影响我和我的家人，但这完全可避免。” Pinsky告诉Dezeen记者，“例如步行和骑自行车方式等简单策略，就能够产生巨大的变化。”

“很多父母仍然开车送孩子到学校，但在这一路上，汽车尾气已经污染了我们的街道，这对孩子们也会造成健康影响，这些污染气体未经过滤，直接进入他们的肺部。”

"Pollution affects my family and I every day in London. And unlike many cities in the world, London's pollution is entirely avoidable," Pinsky told Dezeen. "Simple policy changes prioritising the pedestrian and the cyclist would make an enormous difference."
"Many parents still drive their children to school, polluting our streets at exactly the time that children are out on the streets. Children have not yet learnt to breath through their noses so much of the pollution reaches their lungs unfiltered," he said.

在挪威空气研究所（Norwegian Institute of Air Research）专业技术专家的帮助下，穹顶中的“空气环境污染”非常安全，不会对人体造成伤害。

它们源于城市中的各种污染源头，十分接近城市的具体环境。

The atmospheres created in the climatically controlled domes, which are safe to experience, were created with technical expertise from the Norwegian Institute of Air Research.
They each approximate the specific environments of the cities, which were chosen because they suffer from very different types of pollution.

Peter Pinsky的设计目的是改变人们对消费主义和气候变化的看法。

他说：“我希望人们发自内心地参与解决污染问题，我们通过圆顶装置对环境污染问题进行挑战，同时整顿消费廉价商品的观念。”

这些装置由伦敦一家名为Build with Hubs的设计公司开发，该公司开发了一套可与当地材料相结合的部件，用于建造圆顶。该项目的材料来自挪威，这些装置原先也在挪威建造，运用的是本地回收的挪威云杉。

Pinsky designed the installation to change people's perceptions of consumerism and climate change.
"I want people to engage with the issue of pollution viscerally, to challenge the notion that we alway need to travel in our private bubble whilst consuming cheap goods from the east," he said.
The structures were made by a London-based design startup called Build with Hubs, which has developed a kit of parts that can be combined with local materials to create geodesic domes. For this project the joining elements were brought from Norway, where the installation was previously built with locally recovered Norwegian Spruce used to create the spans.

“我认为自己有责任站在专业的角度去考虑环境污染对人们的影响，这个问题无关地域。”Pinsky继续说道。

“我特别感兴趣的是与BuildwithHubs合作，因为当地材料通过运输再组装，这样能够使这个项目更加生态环保。”

该装置已于2018年4月22日地球日在萨默塞特府（Somerset House）投入使用，并于近日结束展览。这些圆顶装置现在放置在仓库中，正在计划组织世界各地的展览。

萨默塞特府（Somerset House）也是去年地球日环保主题装置的展览场地，该装置由John Gerrard设计，是一个模拟黑烟的旗帜，作为气候变化的象征。

"I do think that we all have a responsibility to consider the impact our profession has on others, whether it be locally in London, or globally," continued Pinsky.
"I was particularly interested in working with BuildwithHubs, as it is more ecological to transport only the complex bits of a structure and then source the simple parts locally."
The installation opened at Somerset House on 22 April 2018, Earth Day, and finished today. The domes will now be placed in storage, with plans being formed to take the exhibition around the world.
Somerset House also installed an environmentally themed installation for last year's Earth Day – John Gerrard created a simulated flag of black smoke as a symbol of climate change.
