英国设计师Es Devlin重新设计了典型的住宅销售展厅，通过使用三套装置来宣传BIG建筑事务所为纽约设计的扭转塔楼。

装置分别是一个巨大的曼哈顿椭圆形模型、一个倒转在水池中的建筑模型，以及环绕的视频投影。Devlin通过这三种装置来吸引业主购买位于切尔西的XI住宅，该项目目前正在建设中。

她与BIG建筑事务所创始人Bjarke Ingels合作创建了12000平方英尺（1115平方米）的展厅，该展厅不久将向项目周边的公众开放。

近日，在Netflix纪录片系列的“设计艺术”篇章中，Es Devlin和Bjarke Ingels分别描述了他们所做过的项目：Ingels介绍了他最著名的一些建筑物，而Devlin则描述了她为Beyoncé、Katy Perry和The Weeknd等表演者设计的舞台布景。

British designer Es Devlin has rethought the typical residential sales gallery, using a trio of installations to promote a pair of twisting towers that architecture firm BIG has designed for New York.
A giant oval model of Manhattan, a building model rotating over a pool of water and a wraparound video projection are the devices Devlin has employed to help entice potential buyers of residences in The XI – currently under construction in Chelsea.
She teamed up with architect and BIG founder Bjarke Ingels to create the 12,000-square-foot (1,115-square-metre) gallery, which will soon open to the public a few blocks away from the development, in the Meatpacking District.
The duo both featured in the recent Netflix documentary series Abstract: The Art of Design, in episodes where Ingels explained some of his best-known buildings and Devlin described her stage set designs for performers like Beyoncé, Katy Perry and The Weeknd.

HFZ Capital Group的开发商Ziel Feldman十分欣赏Es Devlin的创意，并在XI展厅开始了合作。

Ingels在画廊的新闻发布会中说道：“当Ziel提出这个建议时，我说‘如果这对Beyoncé来说足够好的话，那对我来说就足够了’”。他后来告诉Dezeen记者：“我们必须把标准定得高一些”。

Devlin说，她是以局外人的身份接触了这个世界豪华公寓的项目。

她告诉Dezeen记者：“我从外部的角度来看它，并想‘你通常会如何描述那些不存在的东西’。”

They ended up collaborating on The XI Gallery after a thumbs up from the project's developer HFZ Capital Group, founded by Ziel Feldman.
"When Ziel suggested it, I said 'well if it's good enough for Beyoncé, it's good enough for me'," said Ingels during a press tour of the gallery. "This is definitely setting the bar a little higher," he later told Dezeen.
Devlin said she approached the project as an outsider to the world of luxury condo sales.
"I came at it from an outside point of view, and thought 'how would you normally describe something that's not there?'" she told Dezeen.

设计师重新解释了那些用于沟通而并未用于项目建设的三样工具：环境模型、建筑模型和文本。

Devlin认为“保持与传统表现手法相当接近的方式，并试着让每一个人参与进Bjarke的作品之中，就像我在项目中所运用的其他元素一样——不论是歌剧还是我可能合作的歌手唱的歌词都可作为素材进行利用。”

在她的三个装置中的第一个被称为“鸡蛋”，其展示了一个巨大的下曼哈顿城区模型放置并将其放置在在下凹的位置。

位于哈得逊河（Hudson River）十号和十一号大道之间的XI住宅开发区，位于模型的前部和中部，而城市中的其他部分则向两侧弯曲。天花板上设置了镜子，可以将模型反射成鸡蛋形状。

The designer then reinterpreted three typical tools used to communicate an unbuilt project: the context model, the building model and the glossy brochure.
"Staying rather close to that paradigm of a triptych of information, but trying with each one to embrace the work of Bjarke as I might with any other primary source – be it an opera, or the lyrics of a singer that I might work with," Devlin said.
The first in her trio of installations is called Egg, and displays a huge scale model of Lower Manhattan laid over a concave shape.
The XI development, located on the Hudson River between 10th and 11th Avenues, sits front and centre of the model, while the rest of the city curves away up the sides. A mirror above reflects the composition to form an egg shape.

“当Bjarke第一次看到它时，他尝试通过观察来找出其最好的视角，”Devlin说。“它使用一系列视角来关注正在建造的建筑物，并将几何形状融入其中。而这不是自然而然地生成的，是通过一系列的推导得出。”

投影映射照明以不同的颜色和各种阴影效果来凸显模型——由Devlin伦敦工作室设计，并由Michael Kennedy在纽约建造。

在视频中，一只手出现并开始在城市景观中画线，它代表着建筑师。

“虽然这是一种抽象的描述，但实际上我认为，当你体验‘一个城市’时，只有身处其中才能感受的更加真实。”Devlin说。

"When Bjarke first saw it, he was looking at it and working out the perspective of it," said Devlin. "It uses a series of perspectives in order to focus on the building that's being made, and flow the geometry over this form. Which it's not naturally inclined to, at all."
Projection-mapped lighting illuminates the model – designed in Devlin's London studio and built in New York by Michael Kennedy – in different colours and with various shadow effects.
At one point during the looped video, a giant hand begins drawing lines across the cityscape to represent the architect.
"Although it's an abstraction, I actually think it's more true to how you feel when you experience [a city]," Devlin said. "The peripheralisation of everything."

这位设计师去年在伦敦国家剧院创作的Ugly Lies the Bone中使用了类似的设计手法。

在XI展厅，她的第二个装置名为“纸、石头、玻璃、水”。人们可以通过观看电影的方式来了解Ingels的项目设计理念，而不是BIG的虚拟漫游方案。

当他说话时，动画、草图和项目的细部都会抽象地呈现在黑暗房间里。

“为了让人们更好地在虚拟环境中参观感受即将建成的住宅。”Devlin说。“我们设想制造虚拟环绕声效来提供更好的体验感。”

The designer used a similar technique for the set of the play Ugly Lies the Bone, which she created at London's National Theatre last year.
At The XI Gallery, her second installation is named Paper, Stone, Glass, Water. Instead of a virtual walk-through of BIG's scheme, visitors can watch a film in which Ingels talks through his design ideas for the project.
As he speaks, animated sketches and abstract representations of the project's travertine facade and bronze window frames appear across the screen, which wraps three sides of a dark room.
"In the spirit of how do you give a virtual tour of something that doesn't exist yet, what does exist is the thinking," said Devlin. "So let's give a virtual surround-sound tour of how the idea came about."


最后，XI扭曲塔的模型在水面中缓慢旋转／Finally, a scale model of the twisted towers slowly rotates above a reflecting pool

这个系列的最后一部分是一个舞蹈：这个复杂的大型模型展示了它的扭曲形态、文化街区和中央庭院。

该模型放置在高架反射池上方，并慢慢旋转，从各个角度展示建筑物的复杂几何形状。 Ingels告诉Dezeen记者——这些结构是以“相互融合”的方式而形成的。

“作为雕塑的本身，你如何展示那个雕塑？”Devlin认为“反射和旋转在可以展示的更加全面。”

XI画廊位于Little West 12街25号，将于2018年5月14日向公众开放。Eleventh也将于2019年底完工。

The final piece in the series is Dance: a larger scale model of the complex that shows its twisting towers, cultural block and central courtyard.
The model is placed atop an elevated reflecting pool, and slowly rotates to show off complex geometries of the buildings from every angle. Ingels told Dezeen that the structures are shaped in "mutual courtesy" for one another's views.
"The object itself as a sculpture, how do you display that sculpture?" said Devlin. "In reflection and in rotation seemed to me kind of obvious."
The XI Gallery is located at 25 Little West 12th Street and will open to the public 14 May 2018. The XI, also known as The Eleventh, is due to complete late 2019.
