由建筑工作室Lipinski Lasovsky Johansson（LIJA）设计的项目“Victoria Pragensis”旨在强调珍贵而脆弱的药用植物遗产文化，以及它们在公共空间和城市设计中的作用。设计同时也向世界上最大的睡莲Victoria Amazonica致敬，这种植物由捷克植物学家Thaddaus Haenke于1801年首次发现。该装置由近千座漂浮在悬浮白盆中的植物组成。

The aim of ‘Victoria Pragensis’ designed by architecture studio Lipinski Lasovsky Johansson Architects (LLJA) is to emphasize the precious yet fragile cultural heritage of medicinal plants, and their role in the context of public spaces and urban design. Paying tribute to Victoria amazonica, the world’s largest water lily, first discovered in 1801 by Czech botanist Thaddaus Haenke, the installation consists of almost a thousand of plants set in levitating white pots.

“绿色植物被认为是衡量生活质量的标准，人们在城市中选择地点时往往会将植物纳入考虑因素之一，”LLJA团队解释道。Victoria Pragensis 是城市空间中的一种临时景观——它由近千种植物组成，创造了绿色的软轮廓。它们与相邻的国家剧院的形成了鲜明对比，极大地改变了广场的面貌。

‘Greenery is perceived as an indicator of the quality of life and is often considered when selecting a specific location within a city,’ explains LLJA team. Victoria Pragensis is a temporary landscape within urban space — it consists of nearly thousand plants forming together green soft contours. They contrast with adjacent buildings of the national theatre, changing drastically the face of the square.



这个绿色装置是由LLJA的Juras Lasovsky与Haenke和布拉格国家剧院合作建造，是一个从方形网格演变而来的迷宫，可以将游客引到完全被植物所包围的中心部分。单一的装饰草占据了整个装置，这为药用植物创造了舞台，这些植物由于其特殊的作用而在医学上被普遍使用。我们鼓励参观者在游览过程中发现它们，以更多地了解它们的外观和药用功效。

Created by Juras Lasovsky of LLJA in collaboration with Haenke and national theatre in Prague, this green structure becomes a labyrinth evolving from the square grid, leading the visitor to its center where the plants absorb them entirely. One single type of decorative grass dominates the whole installation, creating a stage for medicinal plants that are commonly used in medicine for its specific effects. visitors are encouraged to discover them in the installation in order to learn more about their appearance as well as functions.



所有的植物都被随机地插入到高高低低的框架装置中。装置自身提供了类似于叶子的树枝树干。整个悬浮地形下降到中心，那里是整个装置的最低点，形成了一个形象化的草地。设计者希望通过Victoria Pragensis装置鼓励参与者在生活、工作和休闲中更好地利用公共空间。

All plants are inserted into the installation on a random basis and at various levels depending on the height of each frame. The construction itself provides a certain analogy to trunks in a wood carrying branches with leaves. The whole levitating topography descends towards the center of the installation where its level is at the lowest point, creating an allegoric meadow. With Victoria Pragensis, the authors encourage the audience to make use of public spaces they perceive as a vital part of our place for living, work, and leisure.
