城市蜂箱是一个社区性的项目，旨在强调传粉昆虫的重要性和它们在可持续环境中的重要作用。设计师希望通过建筑与设计的方式将这一理念很好地传达出来。

The Urban Beehive Project was created with a vision to establish a community project that highlights the importance of pollinators and their role in a sustainable environment. We knew that this story could be told in a very impactful way through architecture and design.

该项目中包含两个示范性的蜂箱，鼓励公众通过亲身实践去了解蜂蜜的生产过程，并学习有关授粉和养蜂的知识。蜂箱被放置在夏洛特敦最大的城花园PEI Farm Centre，这里常常举办各类农业及社区性的活动，理想的环境十分有利于吸引蜜蜂，同时也为附近小路上经过的游客提供了优美的视野。

The project features demonstration bee hives that encourage a hands-on-approach to bee education, allowing the public to see how honey is being produced and to learn about pollination and the industry of beekeeping. The hives are housed in Charlottetown’s largest Urban Garden – the PEI Farm Centre – which hosts a range of agriculture and community-related activities. This is an ideal setting for a landscape that offers plenty of bee-friendly pasture as well as beautiful vistas for visitors who are passing by on the adjacent trail.

蜂巢被设置在一个独立的、形如雕塑的结构当中，兼具了教学和审美的双重意义——不仅为大众提供了学习平台，还作为公共艺术品吸引着人们前来观察和创造。人们可以透过两个窗口（分为成人和儿童高度）观看在树脂玻璃巢内工作的蜜蜂，或者在“着陆平台”观察它们的进出。蜂箱以本地生产的木材打造，是一种可持续的材料，极少量的螺丝锚固方式使其对土地的影响降至最低。

The hives are placed in individual sculptural structures that act both functionally – to provide a learning platform for the public – and aesthetically – to act as engaging public art that draws people to the site and creates a destination for bee education. The public can look inside the two windows (one child height and one adult size window) to see the bees working inside the plexiglass hive. They can also watch the bees exit and enter the hive at the bee landing pad as they bring the pollen into the working hive. The hives are constructed with wood, a locally available, sustainable material and are secured in place by helical anchors that make minimal impact on the land.

项目的第二部分名为“Plan Bee”，是一个由边长为3英尺的六边形体块搭建的30’ x 15’的三层露天剧场。六边形的形状使剧场的边缘很好地融入了景观环境，其间还种植了蜜蜂喜欢的花卉。再往上一阶，六边形的轮廓提供了理想的平台，可供多人聚集和就坐。

Plan Bee – Phase II of the project, features a three-tiered 30’ x 15’ amphitheater made up of 3’ hexagon blocks. The playful shape of the hexagon allows for a variegated edge on the amphitheater that integrates into the landscape and permits bee-friendly flowers to weave into the structure. On the upper levels, this saw-tooth effect provides terraces for the seating of small groups on all sides of the hex.

剧场的后方背景是一系列垂直摆放的六边形，从平台上方升起约9英尺的高度。每个六边形都符合了人体尺度，可供孩子们像蜜蜂一样在“蜂巢”中攀爬玩耍。部分“蜂巢”还充当了说明性的标牌，即使养蜂人不在现场，也可以通过图解来向公众解释授粉的复杂过程。剧场周围环布着草坪，孩子们可以从不同的高度爬上“蜂巢”。

Attached to the back of the amphitheater is a series of vertical hexagons that rise up 9’ above the platform. The vertical pieces were designed to act as human-size hexagonal combs allowing children to burrow inside a hex-shaped cell – just like a bee. The large combs also act as a framework for graphic interpretation signage that educates the public on the many complexities of pollinators when the beekeeper is not present on site. The structure is surrounded by playful grass berms so children can climb up into the combs at different levels.

城市蜂巢项目为夏洛特敦带来了一个充满活力的多功能蜂场，它既是休闲设施，也是雕塑、花园和鼓励实践的学习工具。更为重要的是，它证明了设计在社区发展以及环境保护中发挥的重要作用。

The Urban Beehive Project has created a dynamic and multi-functional apiary destination in Charlottetown. The project has become a play structure, a sculpture, a garden as well as a tool for hands-on learning. More importantly for us, it has become an example of how design can play an important role in our community, our development, and our environment.
