Appreciation towards HCCH Studio for providing the following description:

双螺旋编织装置位于上海一座新落成的石库门风格的商业街区入口。它既是开业展览的一部分，也构成了鲜明的面向城市的门廊。它既具有怀旧元素，又呈现出科幻的未来感。

The double helix weaving installation is located at the entrance of a newly built Shikumen-style commercial district in Shanghai. It is part of the opening exhibition and also serves as a striking gateway to the city. It combines nostalgic elements with a futuristic sci-fi aesthetic.

该街区以辐射周边社区的特色餐饮为主，场地布局紧凑，不具备创作大型落地装置的条件。我们建议将装置悬吊于主要人行通道上方，以代替常规的广场雕塑或入口拱门。

The district primarily serves nearby community and features local foods. Considering its compact layout, a hanging installation is proposed above the main promenade instead of a plaza sculptures or entrance arches.

装置由两条被弯弧的双螺旋构成X形钢网架，并通过钢索悬吊于两侧青砖饰面的山墙上。它形同上海传统早餐中的老油条（一种将面团拧在一起之后油炸的食物），又像迎接龙年的巨兽。曲面在空间中连续翻滚，不分正反，提供了各个朝向和标高流动变幻的视角。

The installation consists of two curved double helices that form an X-shaped steel frame, suspended from steel cables on the gable walls. It resembles a Shanghai traditional breakfast staple, youtiao (a fried dough twist), or a dragon-shaped monster welcoming the Lunar New Year. The surface rolls continuously in space, providing a flowing and ever-changing perspective from various directions and levels of the district.

装置的主体由1300个椭圆形亚克力双面发光圆环组成。它们与钢结构之间的连接借鉴了传统编织纹理（常被上一代人用来制作简易包袋），由最常见的5cm宽的编织扎带柔性连接在一起，通过缝纫交叉点固定发光环的位置。径向的编织工作和穿线工作都在现场手工完成。

The ‘scale’ of the dragon is composed of 1,300 elliptical acrylic double-sided illuminated rings. Their connection to the main structure is inspired by traditional weaving patterns (often used by the previous generation to make tote bags). Rings are flexibly connected together through the most common 5cm wide weaving straps, and their positions are fixed by sewing detail on straps’ intersection. Weaving and threading work are all handmade on site.

连续翻转的曲面、绿色与橙色的织带、放大的手工节点，映衬着狭窄的巷弄和青砖红瓦。人流穿行其下，共同构成既复古又魔幻的都市情境。

The continuously rolling surfaces, green and orange woven straps, and enlarged handcrafted nodes contrast with the narrow alleyways, grey bricks and red tiles. People passing under the lighting helices, constitutes a retro and magical urban scene.
