“组装瑞士性” （Fabricating Swissness）是由瑞士-美国事务所Architecture Office设计的多媒体装置，于今年9月16日至10月31日在首尔东大门广场上举行的2021年首尔建筑与城市双年展上展出，旨在探讨建筑与基础设施之间潜在的协同作用。

Fabricating Swissness is a multimedia installation designed by Swiss-American design firm Architecture Office, led by Nicole McIntosh and Jonathan Louie. It will be exhibited at the 2021 Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism from September 16 through October 31, 2021 at the Dongdaemun Plaza in Seoul, Korea, as part of the Thematic Exhibition, which explores the potential synergies between architecture and infrastructure.

该装置是一个有着4个立面的铝制脚手架结构，尺寸为2m x 2m x 3.6m。这个立体结构旨在通过具有本地特征的图像、音频和纪念品来解释“瑞士性”（Swissness）的概念和New Glarus地区经典的木屋风格。

Fabricating Swissness is a four-sided aluminium scaffold structure measuring 2m x 2m x 3.6m that illustrates the notion of “Swissness” and the Swiss chalet style in New Glarus, Wisconsin through vernacular imagery, audio, and memorabilia. It is a three-dimensional representation of the village’s efforts to appear Swiss.

珊瑚色的漆面是对瑞士国旗的标志性红色的现代演绎。小屋结构支撑着由瑞士主题的Gebr Faller火车套装组件改装而来的等比例模型。立面上展示着由Brian Griffin在New Glarus地区拍摄的6张照片，以及瑞士总领事馆的Benedikt Wechsler与建筑师Will Gallaher进行的一次关于瑞士美学的音频访谈。

Painted coral, a contemporary interpretation of the iconic red color of the Swiss flag, the occupiable structure supports scaled-up model parts translated from Swiss-themed Gebr Faller Modellbau train kits. Surrounding these are six photographs of New Glarus by Brian Griffin and audio interviews exploring the aesthetics of Swissness with Benedikt Wechsler of the Consul General of Switzerland and architect Will Gallaher.

采访录音中夹杂着从瑞士传统民间音乐中提取出的元素，并由ARUP的声音设计师Paul Chavez借助各种数字转换工具进行重组。装置中使用的媒介、材料和物品共同传达了一些会普遍被视为“瑞士特征”的概念。

The interviews are mixed with alpine sounds derived from traditional Swiss folk music and reconstructed through a variety of digital transformations by sound designer Paul Chavez of Arup. Together, the media, materials, and ephemera are semi-autonomous entities that together convey concepts commonly understood as Swiss.
