Pavilion for the Kingdom of Bahrain Expo 2020 Dubai / Christian Kerez

这座位于迪拜的展馆占地面积为900平方米，高度为23米，柱子和梁在水平和垂直方向上连接着建筑空间，不过在这个项目中，柱子全方位地延伸向远方，它们穿透了墙体和天花板，似乎延伸向建筑外部，而柱子布置的几何形态相互错落构成了窗洞。

Text description provided by the architects. The pavilion in Dubai consists of a hall with a floorplan area of ​​900 m2 and a height of about 23 m. Columns and beams ordinarily articulate architectural space horizontally and vertically, but here the columns spread out unfathomably in all directions. They penetrate walls and ceilings and end outside the building. The placement of the windows and the window reveals in the thin perimeter planes is a pure consequence of the geometrical arrangement of the columns.







与此同时，光源形成了承重结构，并且加强了周边墙体和柱子之间的联系，倾斜的柱子在空间中彼此呼应，相遇的位置便相互焊接，也大大减少了其相对于空间实际尺寸的屈曲长度，这就是说，直径为11厘米的标准钢材就能够支撑整个空间，内部的墙体由14厘米的U型框架搭建而成，共同构成了独立的结构体系。

At the same time, this source of light forms the load-bearing and stiffens the connection between the surrounding walls and the columns. The slanted columns meet repeatedly in space and when they do, they are welded together. This drastically reduces their buckling length in relation to the actual dimensions of the space, which means that the room can be supported and stiffened solely by filigree standard steel profiles with a diameter of 11 cm. The walls are built with frames made of 14 cm thin U-profiles. Together, they work as one singular structural system.





轻薄的柱子较为密集，但是它们从整个空间中穿过则显得非常轻盈，空间布局十分简约，支撑结构体系均匀地分布在空间之中，但整体又呈现了开敞的状态，除此之外，密集的柱子区域则与无支撑的开放区域交替出现。

While the thin columns seem extremely dense in overview, it is quite surprising how light and sparingly placed they appear, on walking through the built space. At first glance, the supporting structure deceptively looks as if it were evenly distributed throughout but vistas open up repeatedly across the entire expanse of the space. In addition, areas of densely spaced columns alternate with open areas that are completely free of supports.



整个大厅中的开阔景观通过多种多样的视角得以表达，人们的视线会沿着柱子向各个方向延伸，很好地感受了空间的高度和广度，看到墙体甚至远方，围墙的框架覆盖着轻薄的铝板，其边界构成多重反射，外部覆层也通过略微弯曲的表面得以反射，表达了轻薄的框架网格。

The many open vistas throughout the hall are complemented by an infinite variety of additional views as the eye is repeatedly drawn up along the supports into the height and expanse of the room to the walls of the hall and beyond via the light slits. The frames of the enclosing walls are clad in thin, malleable aluminum panels, dissolving the boundaries into multiple reflections. The panels of the exterior cladding also reproduce the thin frame grid underneath through the reflections of the slightly cambered surfaces.



就大多数建筑而言，结构的唯一目的就是支撑建筑，但是在这种情况下，结构则拥有了空间的定义作用，其意义与作用不再单纯，并不只是支撑的目的，这种不同寻常的未来主义空间效果并没有明确地提及巴林国，但是表达了开放的相关区域，比如Muharraq古老宫殿的典型平面布局，它们的内向起居空间，以及巴林密集的不规则传统装饰体系，除此之外还有先进的技术。

In most buildings, the support structure serves the sole purpose of shoring up the building, but in this case, it becomes a space-defining, architectural event and a spatial experience that cannot be readily deciphered. It is not illustrative. This unusual, futuristic, spatial effect does not refer explicitly to the Kingdom of Bahrain, but allows open fields of association, for example, the floor plan typologies of old palaces in Muharraq, their introverted living spaces, to the dense, irregular, traditional ornaments in Bahrain, but also to state-of-the-art technologies such as those used in Formula 1.





巴林文化与文物管理局在H.E. Sheikha Mai Bint Mohammed Al-Khalifa与Noura Al Sayeh的指导下，将这座建筑与Anne Holtrop的米兰世博会建筑联系在一起，他们认为，建筑不仅仅是一种符号，它更重要的是能够给人们传达独特的空间体验，这座展馆将在巴林的现代商业中心得以重建，更好地表达了可持续精神。

The Bahrain Authority of Culture and Antiquities, under the direction of H.E. Sheikha Mai Bint Mohammed Al-Khalifa and her director Noura Al Sayeh, relates this building to Anne Holtrop’s building for the World’s Fair in Milan, for they are convinced that architecture is not only important as an object-like symbol but above all that it should give visitors a unique architectural and spatial experience. This pavilion will be reconstructed in Manama, the modern business center of Bahrain, entirely in the spirit of sustainability.
