Geometric Gardens

“花园不是自然，是人工作品。我将花园定义为复杂版本的农耕、植物艺术品。”– C.Th. Sørensen

我曾为Het Nieuwe工作室构思了以C.Th. Sørensen创作的系列几何花园为主题的小型展览。

‘A garden is not nature; it is a work of man. I would like to define the garden as a sophisticated form of farming, a perfection of agriculture.’ – C.Th. Sørensen
For Het Nieuwe Instituut I’ve curated a mini expo on the Geometric Gardens by C.Th. Sørensen.





几何花园位于丹麦海宁艺术博物馆附近的森林之中。这座花园是丹麦景观设计师C.Th.Sørensen（1893–1979）于1956年的设计作品。但直到1983年，设计师们才开始研究花园的原始大小，并为了纪念丹麦景观设计师协会成立五十周年，设计师们开始对花园进行建设。

The Geometric Gardens are located in a forest clearing near the Herning Art Museum in Herning (DK). The garden was designed in 1956 by Danish landscape architect C.Th. Sørensen (1893 – 1979) but wasn’t realised in its original size till 1983, when the Association of Danish Landscape Architects constructed the garden to commemorate their 50th anniversary.



整座花园由九个几何体组成，一个十一米长的圆盘形态，六个周长为十一米的多边形，一个圆形和一个椭圆形。整座花园环绕着8米高的鹅耳枥木篱笆，随时间流逝，花园的样貌也会发生改变。在春天，萌芽的叶子是新鲜的绿色，在夏季，树篱颜色变深，变得更加繁茂，秋天树叶变黄，并逐渐脱落，露出树枝。

The composition consists of nine geometric shapes; an eleven meters long disc, six polygons with eleven meters long sides, a circle and an oval. The whole garden is planted in hornbeam hedges up to 8 meters high, changing the appearance throughout the year. In spring the budding foliage is a fresh green, during summer the hedge colours a darker green and becomes fuller. In autumn the foliage turns brown and leaves start to drop, revealing the structure of the branches.



探索几何园林感觉就像穿过一系列的房间，它们以鹅耳枥木作为墙体，将草地当作地板，而天空则是天花板。这些房间之间的空间形成迷宫一样的结构，有时会将人引导进另一个房间，有时则将人引导出去。

Exploring the Geometric Gardens feels like walking through a series of rooms, with hornbeam for walls, grass for a floor and the sky for a ceiling. The spaces in between these rooms form a maze like structure, sometimes leading to another room, sometimes leading out of the structure.



这个Pop-in型的展览主要展出由Christina Capetillo提供的照片，同时还展出了由Joost Emmerik制作的花园模型。

这个小展览是是Dissident花园项目的一部分。Het Nieuwe工作室借此项目表达对于自然和文化之间相互抗争的最新表达形式的关注。该项目由五个展览和一系列讲座和辩论构成，对自然与文化共存形式的发展进行质疑和探索。展览展示了设计师、建筑师和艺术家的有力贡献，引起人们对人与自然的关系、有机材料的创新利用以及技术对人们生活和环境的影响的思考。

The pop-in expo was composed of photos by Christina Capetillo, a plan in vinyl on the floor combined with a model made by Joost Emmerik.
The pop-in expo is part of the programme Dissident Gardens, Het Nieuwe Instituut focuses on the most current expressions of the classic struggle between nature and culture. The programme includes five exhibitions and a series of lectures and debates. It questions and investigates the most current manifestations of the classic struggle between nature and culture. The exhibition presents influential contributions from designers, architects and artists that allow us to reflect on our current relationship with nature, living-material innovations and the impact of technology on our lives and our environment.
