红色激光照射下范斯沃斯住宅的几何形态
Geometry of Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House illuminated with red lasers

设计师IkerGil和Luftwerk在密斯·范德罗的范斯沃斯住宅上投射了红色激光栅格，以突出建筑物的几何形状和历史痕迹。

所用的设备是由MasStudio的Gil和Luftwerk设计的激光几何显示器的二代版本，它以前安装在巴塞罗那馆。

该项目的设计者希望通过几何照明的形式，连同巴塞罗那音响设计师OriolTarragó的声音作品，将有利于帮助人们了解建筑物与场地之间的关系。

Designer Iker Gil and Luftwerk have projected a grid of red lasers across Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House to highlight the building's geometric form and its history.
The installation is the second iteration of the Geometry of Light laser-display designed by Mas Studio's Gil and Luftwerk, which was previously installed at the Barcelona Pavilion.
Its designers hope that the geometric lighting, along with a sound piece by Barcelona-based sound designer Oriol Tarragó, will help people understand the building's relationship to its site in Plano, Illinois.



Gil对Dezeen记者说：“这些因素共同创造了对范斯沃斯住宅及其特殊位置的新展示。”

这次的设计揭示了该建筑的历史和早期的景观遗迹，揭示了房屋结构与河漫滩、场地地形和不再存在的树木之间的内在几何学关系。

"Together these elements provide a new interpretation of the Farnsworth House and its extraordinary location," Gil told Dezeen.
"The intervention uncovers the forgotten history of the site and remnants of earlier landscapes by revealing the underlying geometries that relate the structure of the house to its river floodplain, site topography, and key trees that no longer exist."



该项目是芝加哥建筑双年展设备展示的一部分，范斯沃斯住宅之前连续三天通过激光照亮的方式，凸显建筑的结构形式。

同时，该装置还被安置在场地上，以引起人们对原先位于该地区的三棵树的关注，以及也引发人们关注Fox河洪泛区的五级洪水。

Each of the lasers, which illuminated the house for three days early this month as part of the installation that coincided with the Chicago Architecture Biennial, was located to show the house's structure.
They are also placed to draw attention to three trees that were previously located on the site and the levels of five floods that have reached the house, which is built within the Fox River floodplain.



“装置重点表达了定义房屋内部模块、露台、平台等处的结构设计，帮助了解与环境相关的要素。”Gil解释。

他继续说：“这同时也是一种方式，让人们去思考那些无法看见、但却对建筑造成一定历史影响的因素。这些因素包括了已经不在的树木以及对建筑产生威胁的洪涝灾害。”

"The installation highlights the structural elements that define the modules of the inside of the house, the terrace, the platforms…and it helps to understand those elements in relationship to its surroundings," explained Gil.
"It is a way to consider those elements that are invisible but that have shaped the history of the house, from the trees that no longer exist to the flooding levels that challenge its preservation," he continued.



装置的激光形式有多种组合方式，突出了建筑中的个别元素，当你只欣赏整座房子时，这些元素很难被发现。

例如，仅使用水平灯光才能展示的房屋与河流，以及洪水的关系。

Throughout the installation the lasers were turned on in different combinations to highlight individual elements that can be hard to appreciate when you can see the whole house.
For example only horizontal lights were used to show the house's relationship to the river and the flooding which occurred.





Gil希望这个装置能让人们以一种新的方式看待这座著名的建筑。

他说：“总的来说，重要的是要理解像范斯沃斯住宅这样的历史建筑，它可以不断地被重新阐释，并且有着丰富的指导意义。它们领先于当时那个时代，我们应该继续审视和重新诠释它们。”

Gil hopes that the installation will allow people to look at the well-known house in a new way.
"Overall, it is important to understand that historic buildings like the Farnsworth House can be continuously reinterpreted and still teach us many lessons," he said. "They were ahead of their time and we should continue to revisit and reinterpret them."



密斯于1951年为Edith Farnsworth设计了这套单人度假别墅。它被认为是现代主义风格的一座重要建筑，并于2006年被指定为国家历史地标。

建筑坐落在河流附近，曾多次被洪水淹没，分别是在1996年、1998年和2008年。2014年，人们提出了一项建议，即在房屋下设置水压装置，防止洪水进一步对建筑产生破坏，但这一建议尚未落实。

Farnsworth House was designed by Van der Rohe as a one-room holiday home for Edith Farnsworth in 1951. It is considered a key example of the International style and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2006.
Set near a river the house has been flooded on numerous occasions including in 1996, 1998 and 2008. In 2014 a proposal to raise the house on hydraulic jacks to prevent further flood damage was made, although this has yet to be implemented.
