MODU户外公共空间装置落脚北京奥林匹克公园——北京空气质量的晴雨表

MODU的competition-winning户外空间创建了一个视觉体验的场所,以提高人们对北京持续性的空气质量问题的关注。

最近这组户外空间安装在北京的奥林匹克公园，来作为第五届中国国际建筑双年展的展品。5000平方米的英尺馆（ sq.ft pavilion)作为城市公共空间和北京空气质量晴雨表——在这里记录每天的天气预报。

这样的户外房间目前安装在北京奥林匹克公园之前（2013年11月)曾安装在六个不同的城市。

Although MODU was recently re-established, its principals Phu Hoang and Rachely Rotem have won previous competitions like the 2010 Art Basel Miami Beach competition.

"Along with the weather report, daily readings of air particulate contaminant have become part of everyday urban life in Beijing. On most days, pollution creates a dense fog that transforms the city with an unsettling palette of colors—from dull grey to off-white and yellow-beige. On the occasional day of better air quality, urban forms suddenly materialize “out of the fog.” The concept of a city that disappears and reappears is central to the public experience of Outdoor Room."

"Inside the pavilion, a large elliptical roof opening provides a visual measure of the air quality. On days of good visibility, the roof void frames clear views of the Olympic Observation Tower and beyond to the National Stadium. On days of poor air quality, the landmarks virtually disappear from sight."

"The design of Outdoor Room precipitated the concept of the 'room in the city' and its converse, the 'city in the room.' Viewed from the Olympic Park, the “room in the city” does not attempt to recreate the urban boundaries that separate polluted outdoor air from conditioned and filtered indoor air throughout Beijing."

"From within the public space, the openings between the fabric panels frame a 'city in the room.' This 'city in the room' offers changing views of the Olympic Park and the air that surrounds it."

"The glossy translucent fabric panels both reflect and transmit the color hue of the polluted air enveloping the city—from blue to grey to yellow."

"The torque geometry of the fabric panels reflects the colors differently, especially when viewed from different vantage points within Outdoor Room. All of the fabric panels were recycled from nearby exposition tent structures in the Olympic Park, highlighting existing environmental opportunities even in Beijing."
