本项目由地产公司SoLa Impact发起，该公司的目标是通过保护、更新、创造高质量的经济适用房，振兴洛杉矶少数族裔社区，使社区恢复活力。自2015年以来，SoLa已经收购了1500栋住宅单元，并准备在大洛杉矶地区继续开发、建设和修复另外1300栋新的住宅单元。目前SoLa Impact公司持有三个房地产基金会，并负责管理运营其中的200多栋建筑。

SoLa Impact’s mission to preserve, refresh, and create high-quality affordable housing has revitalized Black and Brown communities throughout Los Angeles. Since 2015, SoLa has acquired 1,500 units and is currently in the development, construction, and rehab on another 1,300 new units in the greater Los Angeles area. SoLa Impact currently owns and manages 200+ buildings across its three real estate funds.

“建设高质量的经济适用房，并对社区进行高标准的运营与维护”作为SoLa公司的宗旨，与当地机会区（opportunity zone）立法委员会的想法高度契合，这也为“蜂巢”校园的创立创造出绝佳的机会。作为全美第一座机会区（opportunity zone）内商业校园，“蜂巢”真正代表了该区立法会的精神，校园的诞生激励了少数民族企业和当地企业家，切实回应而不是忽视了他们的期望。

The company’s primary initiatives—building and maintaining high-quality affordable housing developments—were naturally aligned with the Opportunity Zone legislation when it was created, which provided an avenue for SoLa to develop The Beehive campus. As the nation’s first Opportunity Zone business campus, The Beehive truly represents the spirit of that legislation, as the campus was born from a desire to uplift, not uproot, minority-owned businesses and local entrepreneurs.

该雕塑作品落成后，立即成为了SoLa Impact “蜂巢”园区中的焦点，将周围的游客汇集到一起。当人们走进雕塑内部向外看时，它则变身为校园开放空间的景观画框。这座精致的雕塑作品轻巧地置于地面之上，顶部的壳体结构相对于两则厚重得多。随着高度的增加，“蜂巢”单元中的光圈也逐渐增大，这种设计在减轻雕塑自重、改善内部采光的同时，也在地面上创造出有趣的光影效果。

The sculpture functions as the focal object at SoLa Impact’s Beehive campus, gathering visitors around it. While standing underneath, it frames the view toward the open space on campus. The sculpture delicately rests on the ground; the shell is dramatically thicker above. Apertures progressively increase in size towards the top, lightening the experience within sculpture while creating shadow play on the ground.

设计的核心理念旨在以具象化的方式探索“力”的平衡。自体支撑的拱门形态犹如一枚巨大的“马尼拉钱币”，这种结构是在各个“蜂巢”单元的悬链线引力和平面力平衡作用下达成的。雕塑的内侧结构提供了支撑力，而外侧则决定了雕塑的整体形态与结构的刚度。

The design is the result of a delicate balance of forces within a physics simulation. The arch is created by outwards forces mimicking the voluminous Manilla shape balanced with catenary gravitational forces and planarization forces acting on the individual shapes. The interior shell is self-supporting, while the outer pieces buttress the form and provide rigidity.

总体上来看，雕塑由一系列六边形“蜂巢”单元镶嵌而成，但也有一些“蜂巢”采用了五边形或七边形的形式。完全对称的“蜂巢”与歪斜的“蜂巢”组合在一起，为雕塑赋予了别样的丰富感。这座重达3785磅（约1.71吨）的雕塑由497个独特的部件组成，每一个部件都足以承受另一个部件的重量。镶嵌的组合形式则象征着来自独特个体元素之间的组织力量。

Tessellated hexagons form the sculpture, but some shapes have five sides and some seven. Some are askew while others are perfectly symmetrical. A total of 497 unique pieces form the sculpture weighing 3,785 pounds, and each piece is strong enough to hold the other’s weight. The tessellation symbolizes the organizational strength derived from individual, unique elements.

“马尼拉币在西非曾被用作通用货币，但后来与奴隶贸易有关。在许多方面，它都可以被认为是最初的‘黑色经济货币’。我们的目标是将蜂巢的概念与最初的西非货币形象融合在一起。马尼拉币象征并承认了奴隶制的痛苦过去，但在我们的解读中，它则代表了黑人企业家的精神。目前在西非，仍有很多人热衷于收集马尼拉币，尤其是在我的祖国尼日利亚，它代表着一种美丽和价值。”

“Manilla(s) were used in West Africa as a form of general currency, but later became associated with the slave trade. In many respects, it was the original ‘currency for the black economy’. Our goal was to fuse the honeycomb concept with the original West African currency. It recognizes the painful past of slavery, but in our interpretation, reclaims the original purpose of Manillas as a representation of black entrepreneurship. Manillas are still collected in West Africa, particularly in my home country of Nigeria, to represent a thing of beauty and value.”
