Appreciation towards FUTUREFORMS for providing the following description:
在21世纪，创作公共艺术与建筑意味着什么？随着城市日益数字化，建成环境与塑造我们生活的算法之间的边界正在逐渐消融。这一转变正在被一个“数字工艺”的新时代所定义——一个利用计算逻辑超越大规模标准化的过程。通过将计算机视为大师级工匠的工具，建筑不再是一个静态的物体，而是一种特定场地的介入，像城市领域的活跃参与者一样对其环境做出响应。
What does it mean to create public art and architecture in the 21st century? As cities become increasingly digital, the boundary between the built environment and the algorithms that shape our lives is beginning to dissolve. This shift is being defined by a new era of ‘Digital Craft’—a process that utilizes computational logic to move beyond mass-standardization. By treating the computer as a master artisan’s tool, architecture is no longer a static object, but a site-specific intervention that responds to its environment like a living participant in the urban realm.

站在这一运动前沿的是总部位于湾区的设计工作室FUTUREFORMS，由Jason Kelly Johnson和Nataly Gattegno领导。凭借超过二十年的经验，该工作室已成为通过实验、参与和趣味性来激活公共空间的领军力量，巧妙地将复杂的计算转化为触手可及、令人惊叹的城市地标。
At the forefront of this movement is the Bay Area-based studio FUTUREFORMS, led by Jason Kelly Johnson and Nataly Gattegno. With over 20 years of experience, the studio has become a leading voice in activating public spaces through experimentation, engagement, and play, masterfully transforming complex computation into tangible, awe-inspiring landmarks.

开创性公共艺术：Orbital与Weatherscape
Groundbreaking art: Orbital and Weatherscape
该工作室近期完成的两个项目，有力地诠释了科技如何与公共空间交汇，从而在人与环境之间建立深层联结。在旧金山Mission Bay的OpenAI总部（原Uber总部）入口广场上，FUTUREFORMS安装了Orbital。这座被构想为当代花园凉亭的结构，巧妙地将复杂计算转化为一座可触可感的城市地标。该雕塑由数千个数字化定制的铝制和钢制元件组成，提供了双重体验：高度反射的穿孔不锈钢外表面，以及艺术家称之为“花园生灵”的温馨内舱。
Two of the studio’s recent projects serve as powerful examples of how technology intersects with public space to foster a profound connection between people and their environment. At the entrance plaza of the OpenAI Headquarters (formerly Uber HQ) in Mission Bay, San Francisco, FUTUREFORMS has installed Orbital. Conceived as a contemporary garden folly, the structure masterfully transforms complex computation into a tangible urban icon. Composed of thousands of digitally crafted bespoke aluminum and steel elements, the sculpture offers a dual experience: a highly reflective, perforated stainless steel exterior and an intimate, glowing interior sanctuary that the artists describe as a “Creature of the Garden”.

在德克萨斯州埃尔帕索，该工作室完成了Weatherscape——一座为新建的埃尔帕索儿童博物馆设计的70英尺×40英尺的雕塑感遮阳顶棚。它不仅仅是一个遮阳结构，更是一个沉浸式环境，被设计为一座“奇观的活实验室”。它将阳光、风和水的能量转化为动能和水雾，使沙漠中无形的自然力量变得可见，并可被各个年龄段的参观者互动体验。
In El Paso, Texas, the studio has completed Weatherscape, a 70′ x 40′ sculptural canopy for the new El Paso Children’s Museum (“La Nube”). More than a shade structure, Weatherscape is an immersive environment designed as a “living laboratory of wonder”. It channels sun, wind, and water into kinetic energy and mist, making the invisible forces of the desert visible and interactive for all ages.

探索“之间”：CCA的METAXIS展览
Exploring the “In-Between”: METAXIS at CCA
当这些永久性装置定义了城市天际线之时，该工作室的内部创作过程正在一场大型个展中呈现：METAXIS：理念与物件的合集，正在加州艺术学院（CCA）校园画廊展出，展期至2026年3月20日。展览的名称源自希腊语“metaxi”，意指一种“之间”的状态——同时属于两个领域。METAXIS提供了一个难得的机会，以最原始的形式见证工作室的演变。展览的结构如同一场工作室探访，画廊中展出了超过20件模型、3D打印原型以及2015年至2025年间创作的思辨性物件。
While these permanent installations define city skylines, the studio’s internal creative process is currently the subject of a major solo exhibition: METAXIS: A Collection of Ideas and Objects, on view at the California College of the Arts (CCA) Campus Gallery through March 20, 2026.The exhibition takes its name from the Greek word metaxi, referring to an “in-between” condition—belonging to two realms at once. METAXIS offers a rare opportunity to see the studio’s evolution in its rawest form. Structured like a studio visit, the gallery features over 20 models, 3D-printed prototypes, and speculative artifacts created between 2015 and 2025.

“METAXIS探索的是在’之间’发生的一切：在理念与物件之间、空间与观看方式之间，”Nataly Gattegno表示。“展出的作品在感知与想象、内部与外部、在场与缺席之间自如流动。”
“METAXIS explores what happens in between: between ideas, objects, spaces, and ways of seeing,” says Nataly Gattegno. “The exhibited works move fluidly between perception and imagination, inside and outside, presence and absence.”

通过将过程模型与更完整的作品并置展示，展览展示了FUTUREFORMS如何将来自多个学科——艺术、建筑和计算设计——的知识与工具汇集在一起，重新思考我们如何想象和建造。
By presenting process models alongside more finished works, the exhibition illustrates how FUTUREFORMS brings together knowledge and tools from multiple disciplines—art, architecture, and computational design—to rethink how we dream and build.
