阿姆斯特丹灯光节信息亭的设计灵感源于2016年的节日主题：仿生学，其旨在模仿自然现象去解决复杂的人类问题。设计受到深海世界的启发：生活在黑暗环境下的深海生物通常通过发出生物荧光：通常是催眠脉动光作为互相吸引和沟通的机制。这个神奇生动的深海世界形成了此次兼具雕塑感和功能性的亭子。

The inspiration for the design of the Amsterdam Light Festival info booth pavilion originated from the theme of this year’s festival, biomimicry: the imitation of natural phenomena for the purpose of solving complex human problems. The design is specifically inspired by the deep sea world, where living organisms counteract the darkness of their environment by employing bioluminescence – often hypnotic pulsating light – as an attraction and communication mechanism. This magical vivid world formed the starting point for the sculptural, yet functional pavilion.

Eye_Beacon即是一个吸引人的景点，也是灯光节的售票信息亭。其坐落于阿姆斯特丹蓝桥的西侧，毗邻阿姆斯特尔河，它是连接“水彩”运河参观路线和“灯光”陆地参观路线的交叉点。Ben van Berkel说道：“Eye_Beacon与深海生物相似利用生物荧光作为信号吸引游客和传达信息，其精心编排的灯光序列提醒游客其作为雕塑和灯光节信息中心的双重功能。亭子的一部分悬浮于阿姆斯特尔河上方，连接两片对开结构的扭转体强调了灯光节水陆两条参观路线的交叉点。”

The Eye_Beacon serves as both an attraction point and a ticketing/information booth for people visiting the festival. Located on the western side of the ‘Blauwbrug’, next to the river Amstel, the pavilion acts as a connection between the ‘Watercolour’ canal route and the ‘Illuminate’ land route.Ben van Berkel: “Similar to deep sea creatures that use bioluminescence to signal, attract and inform, the Eye_Beacon uses choreographed light sequences to alert visitors to its dual function as both a sculpture and an information point for the festival. Along with the effect of the pavilion partially overhanging the Amstel River, the twist that connects the two halves of the structure emphasises the crossing point between the land and water routes of the festival.”

结构上，两个立方体通过扭转的表面彼此相接。250块面板各有各的尺寸，因此需要用参数化的方式去优化这些面板以确保其制造和安装的顺利进行。在拉伸结构内部的聚焦LED灯光投影出渐变的颜色变化，外表面的灯光也随之起舞。在与MDT-tex的合作下，各个拉伸结构单元通过纺织布相连形成了亭子的表面，表面的开口纹理让人们能瞥见室内的景致。 MDT-tex设计了2d和3d的纺织单元来连接两个扭转的立方体，其备俱张力的单元体块使亭子更像一个雕塑。

For the structure, two cube forms are connected to one another by twisting surfaces. This results in 250 panels with uneven dimensions and therefore required the parametric optimisation of these surfaces to ensure efficient fabrication and installation. Focused LED projections present gradient color changes on the inside of the tensile structure, resulting in a constantly changing composition of light and colour. Materialised in partnership with MDT-tex, all surfaces of the pavilion are constructed from tensile textile modules that together create a pattern of openings and reveal glimpses of the interior. MDT-tex designed 2d and 3d textile units which enable the twisting connection of the two cubes, resulting in a sculptural form strengthened by its components.

MDT-tex 董事总经理及业主Markus Müller-Feist表示：“UNStudio和 MDT-tex的合作项目结合了MDT-tex多年来积累的专业经验，成功的设计出以革新先进的纺织工程制作的新形式建筑。其形式发展的过程和对当代技术可持续材料运用的演变标志了两家公司之家卓越的合作成果。”受到Ben van Berkel双重功能概念的启发，MDT-tex已经开始设计可照明和收集水的立面系统。

Markus Müller-Feist, Managing Director / Owner MDT-tex, “The collaboration between UNStudio and MDT-tex, combined with the expertise that MDT-tex has built-up over the years, led to the development of new forms that required innovative and advanced textile engineering. The evolution of the form-finding and technical translation to contemporary future orientated sustainable materials marks the ‘twist’ within this outstanding partnership”. Inspired by Ben van Berkel’s dual function concept, MDT-tex’ facade system is already designed for the future use of lighting and water harvesting systems.
