该装置位于比利时Sint-Arnolduspark公园的天主教森林中，由雪松板组成，是一个承接雨水的雕塑，也是一个小型舞台。它坐落在山上，是天然的露天剧场，可以用来举办露天表演。它是Contrei Live艺术之路在Flanders西南地区的16个大地艺术装置之一，促使游客反思水在景观中的重要性。

The Rain Amplifier is a cedar-clad rain sculpture and stage, situated in the Catholic forest environment of Sint-Arnolduspark, Belgium. Located on a hill that acts as a natural amphitheatre, the stage is designed to host open-air performances where the dome acts as a sculptural backdrop. The project is part of the ‘Contrei Live’ Arts trail which includes 16 land art interventions in the region of South West Flanders that invite visitors to reflect on the importance of water in the landscape.

19世纪末，这里的环境经历了几次奇迹般的愈合后，Sint-Arnolduspark公园建立。基地的治愈力量来自公园里的天然泉眼，通过喷泉向公众开放，使得公园成为朝圣地。这里建造了众多历史构筑物，包括天主小教堂、人工洞穴、具有乡村特色的水泥桥、一系列池塘和一个骑兵十字架，喷泉也是其中之一。

Sint-Arnolduspark was established at the end of the 19th century, after the occurrence of several miraculous healings on the site. The healing powers of the site were attributed to a natural water spring in the park which was made available to the public through the creation of a fountain. This established the park as a pilgrimage destination. The water fountain is one of many historical objects that were built in the park, including Catholic chapels, artificial grotto structures, rustic cement bridges, a series of ponds and a cavalry cross.

雨放大器将装置与水元素融合，通过表演吸引游客，为他们提供了新焦点。同时，雨的作用是促使游客反思自己与雨的关系，以及雨在社会和自然中的角色。2020年四五月份是比利时自1833年以来最干旱的月份，据气候变化的预测结果显示，在不久的将来，极端干旱和极端降水天气将在比利时更为普遍。

The Rain Amplifier finds itself amidst this eclectic amalgamation of follies and water elements. The project provides a new focal point by attracting visitors to its performative function. At the same time, the rain effect is intended to encourage the visitor to reflect on their relation with rain and the role rain plays in society and nature. In 2020, May and April have been the driest months in Belgium since 1833. As a predicted effect of climate change, both moments of extreme drought and extreme precipitation will be more common in Belgium in the near future.

这座雕塑借鉴了公园内的天主教建筑，形似一半穹顶，内部装饰复杂且富于表现力。穹顶内部设置人工雨洒装置，通过隐秘相连的管道和喷嘴组成的网络系统实现。穹顶放大了水声，使游客可以在周围环境中体验动感的声音效果。雪松具有较强的防水性能以及木材的丰富色调，因此被用作保护层。

Geometrically the sculpture resembles a half dome with an intricate and expressive ornamental interior as a reference to Catholic architecture that exists in the park. Within the dome, an artificial rain shower is produced through a network system of hidden interconnected tubes and nozzles. The amplification of the sound of the water is a result of the dome form, creating a dynamic soundscape to be experienced in its environment. Cedar is used as cladding because of its high water-resistant performance and the rich variety of colour tones of the different timber elements.

雨放大器既是一个雕塑，为反映人类与雨的关系提供了空间，提醒我们历史文化的意义，以及应对气候变化的相关挑战的重要性，也是一个通过音乐和表演来庆祝降雨的场所。

Rain Amplifier is a sculpture that provides the space to reflect on rain and our relation to it. It reminds us of its historical-cultural significance and the importance of addressing contemporary challenges related to climate change. It is a place to celebrate rain through the means of musical or theatrical performance.
