Appreciation towards The Urban Conga for providing the following description:

海湾项目包括两个不同的互动装置，由The Urban Conga为佛罗里达州萨拉索塔市海湾保护协会的新海湾公园创作。设计工作在公园设计开发的早期阶段由社区参与推动。Urban Conga与设计了公园新区域的Agency Landscape and Planning合作，在第二阶段建设期间增加了这两个可互动的装置，以激发海滨的社交时刻。每个装置都利用景观、人的运动和演奏在海湾沿线激发社会连接。两件作品成为空间内的公共地标，都与周围的环境拥有独特的联系。装置的灵感来自于萨拉索塔海岸附近的海量珊瑚礁，他们像是被冲上海岸的独特珊瑚单体。

The Bay project consists of two different playable installations created by The Urban Conga for the Bay Conservancy’s new Bay Park in Sarasota, Florida. The designs for the work were driven by community engagement conducted in the preliminary phases of the park’s design development. The Urban Conga worked with Agency Landscape and Planning, who designed the new segment of the park to add two playable opportunities to serve as moments of social activation along the waterfront during the construction of Phase Two. Each installation utilizes the views, movement, and play to spark social connection along the bay walk. Both pieces become communal landmarks within the space, each uniquely relating to the surrounding context. Each of the installations was inspired by the large number of coral reefs that reside off the Sarasota coast, and were designed to appear as if they were two unique pieces washed up on the shore.

第一个装置名为“门户”，是一个流线型的社交秋千椅，框定出萨拉索塔湾的不同景观。在昼夜交替的时刻，太阳正好处于作品的圆形透视中。环环相扣的曲线形式构成了人行道旁的一个宽敞的集聚空间，人们可以坐在一起，或成群结队，共同欣赏日落的景色，谈论变迁的环境，甚至举办一场野餐。

The first installation, titled ‘Portal’, is a swinging social bench with a flowing form that frames out different views of Sarasota Bay. During the equinox, the sun sits perfectly within the work’s circular forced perspective. The interlocking curved forms are designed to frame a more ample gathering space along the walkway where people can sit and come together as a larger group to take in the sunset views, converse about the changing area, or even have a picnic.

整个项目成为一个可编程的海滨社区空间。当一个人坐在或躺在漂浮的长凳上，注视着海水并前后摆动，会觉得自己似乎独自漂浮在海面之上。长凳的曲线设计提供了各种开放式的、可供四至五人坐下的社交互动。

The entire piece becomes a programmable community space along the waterfront. As one sits or lays on the floating bench and stares into the water while swaying back and forth, they begin to feel like they are floating on the water in solitude. The curved design of the bench provides a variety of open-ended social seating interactions for up to 4-5 people at a time.

长凳内衬使用可持续Kebony木材，结构体则由可回收不锈钢制成，经久耐用。该装置成为人们与周围景观联系的门户，并思考我们对环境的影响以及海平面上升如何极大地影响佛罗里达海岸。

The bench is lined with a highly sustainable Kebony wood, and the structure is made from recyclable stainless steel for durability. The installation becomes a portal for people to connect with the surrounding landscape, and to think about our environmental impact and how sea-level rise is dramatically affecting the Florida coast.

第二个装置名为“珊瑚鼓”，是一组可以演奏或用作座位的定音鼓。珊瑚礁触须的端头是被调到不同音高的鼓。所有的鼓都可以用手演奏，就像康加鼓一样，较小的珊瑚单体则成为座位，也可以在坐着的时候演奏。鼓的不同间隔和高度便于所有人无障碍使用。该作品利用运动和声音在空间内创造出一种公共连接。它变成了即兴演奏、舞会和其他社交聚会的场所。

The second installation, titled ‘Drum Coral’, is a series of tuned drums that can be played or used for seating. Each end of the tentacles of the reef is a drum tuned to a different pitch. All of the drums can be played with your hands, much like a Conga drum, while the smaller coral pieces become seats that can also be played while seated, much like a Cajon drum. The various spacing and heights of the drums help create easier accessibility for all to play. The work uses movement and sound to create a communal connection within the space. It becomes a space for spontaneous jam sessions, dance parties, and other social gatherings.

该作品完全由可回收铝制成，并涂上环保粉末涂层。与“门户”一样，这这个作品关注于将人们与周围环境联系起来，同时利用演奏引发关于气候变化的公开对话，促进人们更深刻地意识到自身对环境的影响。

The work was created entirely from recyclable aluminum, painted with an eco-friendly powder coat. Like Portal, the work focuses on connecting people to the surrounding environment, while promoting greater awareness of their impact through the utilization of play to spark open conversations on climate change.
