这是2012年伦敦奥运会特拉法加广场临时信息亭方案。

建筑师认为奥运会的运动员夺冠瞬间是绝无仅有的时刻。为了让观众感同身受这一神圣时刻。建筑创造了一个扭曲现实的时间停止点。这里包含各种不确定的情感。5个高高架起的五环形成水幕，里面的空间未知。游客需要挑战自己，鼓起勇气进入前面的空间。一旦进入，游客的感官将被改变，水幕如同一个过滤层。此外重大比赛和精彩片花也可投影的水幕上。整体构架简单轻盈，水可以实现循环利用，夏天还会喷出清凉的水雾。

这个设计会是伦敦奥运的一个独特部分，这是公众参与的新形式：游客在接受挑战，进入未知的参与同时，与奥运会所宣扬的精神有异曲同工之处。

MIND THE GAP
LONDON 2012
OLYMPIC GAMES INFORMATION PAVILION

Mind the Gap is a temporary information pavilion for the London 2012 Olympic Games, located in Trafalgar Square in the heart of London.

Every athlete talks of a feeling – an experience – that can be defined as the moment of truth. This is the moment on the track and diving block before the sound of the gun, the second before a penalty kick, the moment before the whistle.

It is this moment when the decision has been made and there is no turning back. It is a moment that only lasts a fraction of a second, but during which time stands still, the hopes of millions and the weight of history upon you, the moment you have been preparing for your entire life.

We want visitors to the London 2012 Olympic Games pavilion to experience this feeling, this moment of truth. We have created a space that forces the visitor to take a step into the unknown, embodying the point of no return where reality is distorted and time stops.

We want to create a space that captures the complex emotions of uncertainty, anguish, emotion, and agitation, wrapped up in a threshold that must be individually broken in order to complete the experience.

To capture this moment we created an elevated circular structure composed of five intertwined rings. From each ring falls a curtain of water, producing a threshold that visitors have to cross, presenting each person with the challenge to take a step into the unknown.

Once the threshold has been crossed, visitors enter into a sensory space that is completely different than before. The water here acts as a filter that modifies our perception, our senses are heightened and altered in the interior. The water curtains will also act a projection screens for all the major events and highlights.

The construction is light and simple, a ringed steel structure that holds the hoses and faucets and the vertical supports that keep it elevated. All water is collected at the bottom and pumped back up and there will be plenty of refreshing mist for hot days.

Mind the Gap will be a unique part of London 2012. It will force a new form of public engagement, asking visitors to accept the challenge, recognize the moment, and participate in a heightened sense of collectivity that is at the heart and spirit of the Olympic Games.
