韩国艺术家Do Ho Suh在伦敦市的一座天桥上复制了他童年时候的家。

这座建筑被命名为“伦敦桥之家”，它是一座传统的韩国民居，位于横跨在Wormwood街的人行天桥上，这里位于利物浦街车站附近的双车道。

这一简单的结构形式与附近的高层建筑形成了鲜明的对比。这座韩国小屋的特色包括：弯曲的山墙屋顶，木材框架，砖墙和百叶窗。

小屋的其中一堵墙悬挂在桥的边缘，就好似它随时可能会坍塌一样。

South Korean artist Do Ho Suh has built a replica of his childhood home and installed it above a road in the City of London.
Called Bridging Home, London, the installation sees a traditional Korean dwelling built on top of a pedestrian bridge spanning Wormwood Street, a dual carriageway located near Liverpool Street station.
The simple, decorative structure offers a striking contrast to the high-rise buildings that dominate the area. Its features include a curved gable roof, a timber frame, brick walls and shuttered windows.
One of the house's walls is hanging over the edge of the bridge, suggesting that the makeshift structure could collapse at any moment.



Do Ho Suh通过这座模型房子，旨在表达伦敦的移民历史，并反映出他自己从一个国家搬到另一个国家的经历。

Do Ho Suh以前的项目如The Passage/s——通过设计一系列的通道来涵盖建筑的主题，这些通道代表了他曾在生活中所处的所有不同的地方。

他解释说：“对我来说，建筑不仅仅是空间。它同时也不仅仅是物理上的，而是涵盖了隐喻的和心理上的。”

“在我的作品中，我想勾勒出无形的能量、历史、生活和记忆的特质。而‘伦敦桥之家’来源于我的经历，我希望更多的人可以感受到。”

By modelling the design on the house he grew up in, Do Ho Suh's aim is to make a statement about the migrant history of London, as well as to reflect his own experience of moving from one country to another.
It builds on themes covered by previous projects such as The Passage/s, which saw the designer create a sequence of passageways that represented all the different places he had occupied in his life.
"For me, a building is more than just space. It is not only physical but also metaphorical and psychological," he explained.
"In my work I want to draw out these intangible qualities of energy, history, life and memory. While Bridging Home, London comes from personal experience, I hope it is something a lot of people can relate to."



在接下来长达6个月的时间里，这座小屋将会安置在那里，它是“城市雕塑”的一部分，在这里到处可见的广场雕塑和节目。该活动每年举办一次，主办方会委托全城的特定地点放置艺术品。

“Do Ho Suh’s 的作品——伦敦桥之家，是他在伦敦最重要的作品之一。”策展人Fatoş Üstek介绍到。

“这个意料之外的小屋触发了游客的驻足和观赏，它将路人带到了遥远的土地上，最重要的是，这件作品激发了人们对家、归属和曾经记忆的感受，并让他们产生共鸣。”

The installation will remain in place for at least six months. It forms part of Sculpture in the City, a programme that sees sculptures pop up all over the Square Mile, and Art Night, an annual initiative that commissions site-specific artworks all over the city.
"Do Ho Suh's Bridging Home, London is an ambitious commission, one of his most significant in the United Kingdom to date," said Fatoş Üstek, the curator for the installation.
"This unexpected apparition triggers a hiatus and a detournement, taking passer-bys to lands far away. Most importantly the piece activates feelings of home, belonging and remembrance that will resonate with viewers on their individual journeys."
