Jean Couvreur 设计工作室在里昂的“Lyon City Tomorrow Festival”明日城市节上揭晓了他们令人耳目一新的作品：Banc Frais 白色混凝土长凳。

Jean Couvreur design studio unveils a refreshing bench for the public space at the Lyon City Tomorrow Festival.

▼作品外观，the refreshing piece of work

Banc Frais 长凳中集成了一个小型的水泵系统，可以在表面形成微型喷泉。白色混凝土材料的孔隙度保证了水体干净、澄澈。就好像普罗旺斯地区被雨水打湿的屋顶瓦片一样，这种技术是完全自然地，只需要水来润湿长凳的表面。

Banc Frais is a bench with a small water surface supply by an integrated pump system. Made of white concrete, its porosity and inertia retain the freshness of the water. Like the roof tiles of Provence homes that are watered, this technique is perfectly natural and consumes only the water needed to moisten the bench.

Banc Frais 是对一个巨大体块的优雅诠释，表现出了材料的纯粹性：在混凝土体块中雕刻出精细的凹槽，好像被水自然腐蚀的结果。从泉眼中心涌出的水流在空气中慢慢蒸发。

Like a block cut in the mass, Banc Frais is the pure expression of the material’s capacities: a volume of raw concrete, delicately dug in the center, as if the water had eroded it. From its center springs the source of a water which evaporates gradually.

而到2050年，全球变暖可能导致气温上升1〜2度，城市中心聚集的建筑群放大了这一现象，使公共空间的热量感受更加明显。

While global warming could lead to a 1 to 2 degree increase in temperature by 2050, the development of city center buildings amplifies this phenomenon and contributes to the sensation of heat in public spaces.

在以前，喷泉除了用为饮用水的供给场所之外，还为村庄的广场提供卫生干净的交流场所，成为了市民聚集的空间。Banc Frais 旨在鼓励游人围绕着这个城市家具开展具有自发性、创新性的活动。这个令人耳目一新的长凳会变成城市中的绿洲，公共空间中的沃土。

In the past, fountains provided hygiene and freshness to village squares, in addition to collecting drinking water. They were also spaces around which people gathered. Banc Frais aims to encourage spontaneous uses such as gatherings around the village fountain. Fresh Bench acts as an urban oasis, a fertile island.

项目除了提供技术上的示范，还试图发展简单、低成本的城市项目。使古老的的手工艺焕发了新的活力。

Beyond the technical demonstration, the project aims to highlight simple and inexpensive initiatives, from small to medium scale projects. It valorizes archaic principles and techniques often forgotten or too little exploited.
