“HANA SO”展览空间是为了纪念 Akane Teshigahara 成立 90 周年而设计的。Akane Teshigahara 是日本一所花艺学校。为了能充分展现出空间的独特性，由 Isamu Noguchi 设计的多层岩石花园入选为展览举办地。

A space designed for the “HANA SO” exhibition held by Akane Teshigahara, fourth head (= IEMOTO in Japanese) of the Sogetsu school of Ikebana, to commemorate their 90th anniversary. A tiered stone garden created by Isamu Noguchi has been chosen to serve as the exhibition venue, and to make the most of this unique space was the essential part of the design.

通常情况下展览中的作品是整个空间的重点，会提前决定展出的内容。但是在这个特殊的场合，客户希望扭转这种做法，使空间变为整个设计的灵感来源，然后在创造出适合展厅的作品。这组名叫 ikebana 的作品由 0.5 mm厚的镜面不锈钢钢板制成，切割成连续菱形型态。

Normally, the pieces for exhibitions are decided in advance, and the space is designed to accentuate those elements. But for this special occasion, the client proposed to reverse the approach by using the design of the space as an inspiration and to create the ikebana pieces that would be exhibited there. 0.5mm thick stainless steel sheet with a mirror finish was cut into pieces shaped like collections of linked rhombuses.

每一条“镜面常青藤”经过折叠被布置在空间中，反射着周围的环境。之间的空隙中隐约透露出隐藏在作品下面的石头花园，并且展示出 ikebana 花朵的颜色和轮廓，产生万花筒一般的视觉效果。

Each piece was then individually fitted to overlay the stone garden in order to create an “ivy of mirrors”. The ivy would reflect the surroundings while also revealing glimpses of the texture and appearance of the stone garden beneath it, and the diffused reflections of the colours and outlines of the exhibited ikebana flowers would produce a kaleidoscopic visual effect.

为了给这个空间增添额外的层次，石头花园和 ikebana 鲜花的结合形成了和谐的观感，好像花朵轻轻地在石头花园中盛开。

The addition of this extra layer between these two works – the ikebana flowers and the stone garden – would create a harmony between them, as if the flowers were gently enfolding the stone garden.
