Appreciation towards Dubbeldam Architecture + Design for providing the following description:

基奇纳-滑铁卢地区曾经是安大略省制造业的主要中心，如今则转型为加拿大不断发展的热门科技社区。这里汇集了雅虎、谷歌，以及其他主要科技公司的新办公室，此外还有数百家初创企业，该区域距离多伦多仅有一小时的车程，堪称加拿大发展最快的经济体之一。单就基奇纳市中心的核心地区而言，大量改造仓库与新建建筑的落成，就已经证明了这里对新企业和总部设在多伦多的大公司来说具有巨大的吸引力。

Once a major hub for manufacturing, the Kitchener-Waterloo region is now a hot spot for Canada’s growing tech communities. With newly opened offices of Yahoo, Google, and other major tech players, as well as hundreds of start-ups, the area located an hour’s drive from Toronto is home to one of the fastest-growing economies in the country. Kitchener’s downtown core alone, comprised of a mix of converted warehouses and new buildings, has proven to be attractive for new businesses and satellite offices for major companies based in Toronto.

本项目坐落于国王街（King Street）某座新建筑的大堂中庭中，由Dubbeldam Architecture + Design事务所设计，是一件专门为场地创作的装置艺术品，旨在体现该地区丰富的制造业历史及向新兴科技中心转型的雄心。“二元光谱”装置有三层楼高，由悬挂在650根丝线上的8000个不同直径的彩色圆盘组成。

For the lobby atrium of one of these new buildings on King Street, Dubbeldam Architecture + Design created Binary Spectrum, a site-specific installation that embodies ideas drawn from the region’s rich history of manufacturing and its transformation to a burgeoning tech hub. Rising three stories, it is constructed from 8,000 coloured discs of varying diameters suspended from 650 wire cables.

“‘二元光谱’探索了有形的制造对象（制造业）与无形数字领域之间的‘阴阳’关系”建筑师Heather Dubbeldam说，“重复的圆盘暗示了科学中发现的数字化过程和分形模式，同时创造出具有亲人尺度的空间效果。”

“Binary Spectrum explores the yin-yang relationship of tangible fabricated object (manufacturing) with a representation of the intangible digital realm,” says architect Heather Dubbeldam. “The repetitive discs suggest digital processes and fractal patterns found in science, and they are used to create a spatial effect with a human scale.”

装置为该建筑的大堂中庭赋予了动态的环境氛围，让游客们在漫步的过程中与装置形成互动。当人们在两层的空间内走动时，垂直的丝线轻轻地摆动，使雕塑栩栩如生，反映了建筑内使用者们的动态与能量。从不同的角度看，装置呈现出不同的图案效果，为人们带来步移景异的新鲜感官体验，无论是从外部，还是从作品的下方或上方，游客们都能够以独特的方式参之互动。

The atrium is transformed into a dynamic environment where visitors can experience the installation’s kinetic properties. As people move in and around the space on two levels, the vertical cables softly sway, bringing the sculpture to life and reflecting the buzzing energy of the building’s inhabitants. Myriad patterns can be viewed from different perspectives and provide a new sensory experience with each angle – whether seen from the exterior, from below or adjacently from the upper floor, visitors can engage with the installation in unique ways.

悬于空中的彩色丙烯酸圆盘以相近的尺度与渐变的颜色充满了中庭上方的空间，吸引着人们走进建筑。“光谱”两端的对比也通过之间渐变的色彩而变得柔和：暖红色和冷蓝色与大堂家具融合并产生共鸣，大堂内的蓝色沙发是专门根据本作品的色调选择的。为了达到更理想的空间效果，设计师在大厅内以异型家具规划出一处明确的休闲空间，为人们提供了多角度欣赏装置作品的场所。

Comforting in their familiar shape and colours, the suspended circular coloured acrylic discs fill the space and draw people in from the street. The contrast created by two ends of the colour spectrum is softened through the gradient between them: warm reds and cool blues merge and resonate with the lobby furniture, specifically sourced to coordinate with the installation’s bluish tones. For spatial effect, the faceted furniture is arranged to create a defined resting space within the larger lobby and a multiplicity of vantage points from which to view the installation.
