Ice Breakers Public Art Winter-Wonderland Returns to Toronto

由专筑网王沛儒，李韧编译

对多伦多的海滨区来说，冬天并不是旺季。尽管如此，一年一度的设计竞赛“破冰者（Ice Breakers）”目的在于吸引人们回到户外，在冰封的港口安装上庆祝冬天的装置。今年的获奖设计作品目前正在展出，中心主题是“信号传输（Signal Transmission）”。

连续三年，多伦多港口和滨水商业改善区（WBIA）合作举办这个展览。在数以百计的国际设计作品中，一些优秀作品脱颖而出，其中包括一个被灯光照亮的星光之屋、万花筒般的镜子和钟声拱门，这些作品将于2月24日展出。

那么，请欣赏下列的获奖装置。

Winter is hardly the high season for Toronto's waterfront. Nevertheless, the annual design competition Ice Breakers aims to draw people back to the outdoors, populating the frozen harborside with installations celebrating the winter. This year's winning designs are currently on show, centering around the theme "Signal Transmission."
For a third year in a row, Ports Toronto and the Waterfront Business Improvement Area (WBIA) partnered to produce this 2019 exhibition. Out of hundreds of international submissions, the winning designs include an illuminated starlight house, kaleidoscopic mirrors, and arches of bells, now on display until February 24.
See all five winning installations with descriptions by the architects below.







“Chroma Key Protest”/ Andrew Edmundson（加拿大，多伦多）

25个木制浮标固定在土地里，每个浮标都有一只向上伸出的手臂，上面举着一块明亮的绿色色度标志。单独来看，浮标看上去像是一种新的海洋标志，但作为群体，它们就像一群有组织的抗议者，占据着公共空间。绿色的目的是投射游客自身，似乎在诉说，在这种情况下，重要的不是原因，而是行为本身。

‘Chroma Key Protest’ / Andrew Edmundson (Toronto, Canada)
"Twenty-five wood buoys are anchored in a basin, each with an arm extending upward and holding a placard of bright chroma key green. Individually, the buoys could be mistaken for a new kind of marine marker, but as a group, they resemble an organized group of protestors occupying a public space. The green color used is the same as Green Screens, allowing viewers to project their own cause onto the protest. In this way, it's not so much the cause that matters, but the act itself."





Tweeta-Gate / Eleni Papadimitriou和Stefanos Ziras（希腊，雅典）

在你完成安装的过程中，会出现大量的网关大门，让人想起世界各地的各种传统建筑风格。”这是一次短暂的旅行，它弥合了数字、有形和视听之间的鸿沟，共同分享了家的时间、内容和地点的体验。这些门由黄色的木头和金属连接而成，从远处就能看到，并召唤游客与之互动。铃铛安装在装置的不同的门上，路人、游客、甚至是风雪都能将它们唤醒。

Tweeta-Gate / Eleni Papadimitriou and Stefanos Ziras (Athens, Greece)
"As you make your way through the installation, a plethora of gates emerge reminiscent of various traditional architectural styles from around world. A short trip bridging the gap between the digital, tangible and audible ecumenically shared experiences of when, what and where is that which we call home. Made from yellow painted wood and metal connections these gates can be seen from afar and beckon you to interact with them. Bells are mounted on the different gates of the installation and can be activated by the people passing through or by wind or snow falling on them."







Connector / Alexandra Griess and Jorel Heid（德国，汉堡）

连接器是一种有趣、交互式的通信设备，其基础是早期的通信技术，那时电缆还在地面上铺设。连接器缺少操作员，通信变成了一场游戏，对话得以保留，但谁会回应或接收到语言信号却仍然是未知。

Connector / Alexandra Griess and Jorel Heid (Hamburg, Germany)
"The Connector is a playful, interactive communication device based on the beginnings of telecommunications where cables were still laid above ground. The Connector lacks an operator, so communication becomes a game; the conversation can be searched but who responds or receives the verbal signals is not immediately apparent."









Stellar Spectra / Rob Shostak和Dionisios Vriniotis（加拿大，多伦多）

恒星光谱是光的场所，来自恒星的信号分裂成两个雕刻般的星光室，即水域旁侧温暖和凉爽的灯塔。太阳是距离地球最近的恒星，其光线叠加在一起构成光谱，充斥着整个空间。

Stellar Spectra / Rob Shostak and Dionisios Vriniotis (Toronto, Canada)
"Stellar Spectra is a place of light, the signal from the stars split into two sculptural columns of starlight rooms: warm and cool lighthouses by the water. As the sun, earth's closest star, shines from above, it refracts through the filters. Together the shafts create a spectrum of light. The cascade of colours spreads throughout the spaces and onto the stargazers."







Tripix / Ryerson大学（加拿大，多伦多）

随着科技的不断进步，社交媒体开始改变人们体验建筑的方式。建筑不是一种对空间条件的欣赏，而是一种非常具有视觉感受的艺术，游客通过各种媒体渠道在屏幕上观看和体验。这些设计以望远镜为概念出发点，通过多面反射的室内空间结合光线。室内千变万化的效果让人联想到形象驱动的社会现状。

Tripix / Ryerson University (Toronto, Canada)
"With constantly developing technological advances, social media is beginning to change the way architecture is experienced. Rather than being an appreciation of spatial conditions, architecture is being seen as a very ocular-centic art - to the viewed on screens and experienced through various media outlets. This design brings the idea of the ocular-centric experience of architecture to light through the faceted reflective interior condition. The kaleidoscopic effect of the interior is reminiscent of an image-driven society."
