Heatherwick Studio于近日揭幕了其最新项目：一座动力温室，位于西萨塞克斯郡Woolbeding花园的边缘地带。该花园归英国国家信托基金会所有，其所在庄园有着十分悠久的历史。

Heatherwick Studio has unveiled its latest project, a kinetic Glasshouse set on the edge of the National Trust’s Woolbeding Gardens, part of an historic estate in West Sussex.

这座能够展开的结构成为了新花园中的焦点，体现了古代丝绸之路对今天的英国花园所产生的巨大影响。玻璃温室由十个钢制的“萼片”构成，并配置了玻璃和铝材立面。这些萼片完全打开需要花费4分钟，最终会形成一个141平方米的王冠形状的空间。

This unfolding structure provides the focal point to a new garden that reveals how much the ancient Silk Route has influenced English gardens of today. It features ten steel ‘sepals’ with glass and aluminium façade which take four long minutes to open, creating an immense 141m2 space in the shape of a crown.

在与Woolbeding慈善组织以及国家信托基金的合作下，Heatherwick Studio为项目提出了极富创意的方案，其设计灵感来源于维多利亚时代的观赏玻璃容器。采用最先进技术建造的结构不仅兼具功能性和防护性，同时也为新的丝路花园提供了迷人的装饰元素。

Conceived in collaboration with The Woolbeding Charity and the National Trust, the Glasshouse draws inspiration from the spirit of Victorian ornamental terrariums. It deploys cutting-edge engineering to provide a functional protective structure while at the same time offering a beguiling, decorative element to the new Silk Route Garden.

在温暖的时节，玻璃温室的“萼片”会借助液压机制充分打开，为植物带来光照和新鲜空气；在寒冷的日子里，结构将会保持封闭，为内部的亚热带物种提供庇护。

On warm days, the Glasshouse opens its ‘sepals’ using a hydraulic mechanism to allow the plants access to sunshine and ventilation while in colder weather the structure remains closed providing shelter to a collection of subtropical species.

Thomas Heatherwick表示：“它是一个场所，也是一个充分展开的建筑。当人们穿过优美如画的花园，他们将会发现这处神奇的存在：随着温室缓缓打开，宝石变成了一座王冠。”

“这也正说明了我们需要不断地创造令人振奋的过去。将当代发明编织到历史环境的肌理之中，并由此树立让二者相互对话的信心。”

Thomas Heatherwick said: “This is a place and a project that literally unfolds. You step through this bewitchingly beautiful garden and discover an object that starts like a jewel and ends like a crown, as the Glasshouse slowly unfurls.”

“I think it also speaks of our need to keep creating amazing pasts. Weaving contemporary inventions into the fabric of historic settings and having the confidence to let each one speak to the other.”

丝路花园环绕着温室，带领游客们踏上包含12个阶段的旅程。途经的景观受到了古代亚欧贸易路线的影响——在当时，丝绸等商品在这里进行交换，并有大量的植物品种被首次带入英国，例如迷迭香、薰衣草和茴香等等。

蜿蜒的小径使游客能够行走于丝路的12个截然不同的区域，期间可以观赏超过300种植物：从地中海常绿植物到稀有的毛蕊花，再到如今盛行于英国的香味馥郁的高卢月季（最初是由商贩从波斯引入欧洲）等等。

The Silk Route Garden surrounding the Glasshouse invites visitors on a 12-step journey through a landscape influenced by the ancient trading route between Asia and Europe where commodities such as the eponymous silk were exchanged and along which many plants species were brought back to Britain for the first time, such as rosemary, lavender and fennel.

A winding path allows visitors to move through over 300 species and twelve distinct regions of the Silk Road. From Mediterranean evergreens where visitors can enjoy a rare variety of Mullein (Verbascum sp.) grown from a seed brought here by a friend of Woolbeding Gardens, through to the richly scented Gallica roses, now so popular in England but originally introduced to Europe by traders from Persia.

温室内部保存着罕见的偃毛楤木（Aralia Vietnamensis）标本，同时也为生长在伞形树、木兰和香蕉周围的柔软蕨类植物提供了荫蔽。

The Glasshouse itself shelters an impressive, rare specimen of an Aralia Vietnamensis which provides shade for a collection of tender ferns growing alongside umbrella trees, magnolias and bananas.

Woolbeding慈善组织发言人Mark Woodruff表示：“Heatherwick设计的温室不仅代表着最前沿的设计与工程技艺，它还重新发现并恢复了Woolbeding的一部分历史。”

“这座温室例证了当代设计的最高成就。穿越山脉、干旱的土地和高原牧场，它将来自中国西南部的亚热带植物安置在丝路的尽头，为英国的园艺历史书写了丰富与辉煌的篇章。”

“Heatherwick的玻璃温室将与William Pye的水雕塑以及Philip Jebb的新古典主义景观小品一起，为所有来到（被Disraeli称为）’这片土地上最可爱山谷’的游客带来充满喜悦、美与乐趣的体验。”

“This Heatherwick Glasshouse represents the cutting edge of technical design and engineering but it’s also a restoration of something that is part of Woolbeding’s history,” says Mark Woodruff of The Woolbeding Charity.

“It stands as a crowning achievement in contemporary design, to house the flora of sub-tropical south-west China at the end of a path retracing the steps along the Silk Route, from temperate Europe and across mountains, arid lands and high pastures that brought the plants from their native habitat in Asia to come to define much of the richness and glory of gardening in England.

“Joining the William Pye water sculpture and Philip Jebb’s noble neo-classical folly, both monuments to the fallen great trees that they succeeded, the Heatherwick Glasshouse and new Silk Route Garden imbue Woolbeding with even more delight, beauty and pleasure for all who come to what Disraeli called ‘the loveliest valley in the land’.”

英国国家信托基金花园与公园部门主管Andy Jasper补充道：“信托基金的花园和公园同时关乎过去与未来。Heatherwick的玻璃温室恰如其分地提醒着我们去关注当今的花园与历史园艺遗产之间的联系，而其本身也成为了我们对于明天的承诺与信念的象征。”

“Woolbeding项目是顶尖技术与园艺设计相结合的绝佳案例。与Heatherwick StudioStewart Grimshaw以及整个项目团队的合作是一段鼓舞人心的经历，我们希望它也能为我们的游客带来启发。”

Andy Jasper, Head of Gardens and Parks for the National Trust adds:

“The gardens and parklands of the National Trust are as much about the future as they are about the past. The amazing Heatherwick Glasshouse in the new Silk Route Garden is a fantastic example of this – a wonderful reminder of the historic horticultural legacy we are all so connected to in our gardens today, and simultaneously providing a symbolic reminder of our commitment to and belief in tomorrow.

“The Woolbeding project has been an incredible example of technical and horticultural design brilliance. It’s been fantastic working with Heatherwick Studio, with Stewart Grimshaw and the whole project team, and it’s been an inspiring journey that we hope will equally inspire our visitors. It is a chance not only to discover the many stories of owners, gardeners and designers who left their mark, but also experience the excitement and wonder of new designs and ideas.”
