等建筑的装置切片马（The Flatland Horse）重新解读了青铜骑马像，将其转化为八匹替身马。人们可以攀爬、触摸、坐靠，也可以从中穿行。长久以来，骑马像总是独自矗立、不可触碰，象征着权力、威严与胜利。本项目设想：这看似唯一的形象，其实是无数次修改与拼合的结果。层层剪辑之后，只留下官方定版：马头来自替身A，马尾来自替身B，前腿来自替身C。切片马拆开定版，让替身们各自登场，讲述这段幕后故事。

Studio Deng’s The Flatland Horse reimagines the equestrian monument as a cast of playful doubles that visitors can climb, touch, sit on, and pass through. The equestrian statue has long stood as a solitary, untouchable symbol of imperial power and civic gravitas. The project proposes that this apparent singularity is in fact the result of countless takes and revisions, edited until only the official version remains: a head from Double A, a tail from Double B, a foreleg from Double C. Studio Deng disassembles the figure into eight doubles to tell this behind-the-scenes story.

从纪念碑到游乐场
From Monument to Playground

每个替身的主体都是一片扁平的胶合板轮廓。只有它为最终成片贡献的那个部位，如鬃毛、马腿或马头，保留了具象的形态，并以柔软的体量呈现。每个替身还承担一项日常公共功能：长凳、座椅、桌子、门、滑梯、镜子、亭子或玩具。马匹走下基座，不再是承载他人历史的纪念物，而成了一个个独立的角色，邀请人们触摸和使用。

Each double is a flattened plywood silhouette that retains, in soft volume, the one body part it contributed to the final cut, such as a mane, a leg, or a head. Each also takes on an everyday public use as a bench, seat, table, gate, slide, mirror, pavilion, or toy. Rather than disappearing into a single monumental figure, the doubles become individual characters that invite touch and use.

在主题为IN[FLUX]的2026西雅图设计节上，等建筑作为获选团队之一，于8月15日至16日在联合湖公园（Lake Union Park）建造并展出了其中两匹替身马。门框马（Gate Horse）是一座拱门。胶合板轮廓在顶部叠合，马腿向两侧张开，围合出一条通道，西雅图的天际线透过马身的负形显现出来。游客从马的步幅之下穿过，一个个成了马的“裙下之臣”。过去仰望纪念碑的空间关系，就这样被戏谑地改写。

For the 2026 Seattle Design Festival, themed IN[FLUX], Studio Deng was selected as one of the winning teams to build and exhibit the first two doubles at Lake Union Park on August 15 and 16. Gate Horse stands as an archway. Its plywood profiles are held apart and its legs spread wide, framing a passage and letting the Seattle skyline appear through the horse’s negative space. Passing beneath the horse’s stride becomes a playful echo of looking up at a monument.

滑梯马（Slide Horse）借用了桥的结构逻辑：胶合板桥面架设在A字形腿部框架之间，一侧连接楼梯，另一侧连接滑梯。马头低垂，仿佛在饮水，顺势形成下行的滑道；马鬃则构成两侧的护栏。两件装置都把马的身体转译为胶合板平面。远看是熟悉的马形，近看则趋于抽象。马腿和鬃毛以棕色雪尼尔织物塑造，柔软的绒面随形起伏，保留具象特征。

Slide Horse borrows the structural logic of a bridge: a plywood deck spans four leg frames, connecting a staircase on one side to a slide on the other. The horse’s head, lowered as though drinking, shapes the descending slide, while its mane forms the side barriers. In both installations, the equine body is translated into plywood planes, familiar from a distance and abstract up close. A single body part takes on volume in brown chenille, its textured surface suggesting the undulation of mane or muscle.

两匹属于所有人的马
Two Horses for Everyone

两天里，两匹马把数千名游客带进了一片马的奇幻乐园。孩子们骑在滑梯马毛茸茸的背脊上，或顺着滑梯而下，滑到反光的落地垫上。大人们在滑梯马旁的荫凉处歇脚，也有人抱着自家的狗一起滑下。在门框马前，游客们从拱门下穿过，拍下被它框住的城市和往来的人群，或是停下来抚摸、拥抱柔软的马腿。从蹒跚学步的幼儿、青少年到祖父母辈，人们在两匹马之间来回走动，周围的场地成了一片共享的游乐场。

Over two days, the two horses drew thousands of visitors into a horse fantasyland. Children climbed the shaggy back of Slide Horse, sat along its ridge, and slid down onto a reflective landing pad. Adults rested in the shade beneath its span, and some slid down with their dogs in their arms. At Gate Horse, visitors walked through the arch, photographed the city framed within it, and, most often, touched and hugged the soft chenille lining the inside of its legs. Toddlers, teenagers, and grandparents moved between the two horses, turning the ground around them into a shared playground.

装置并不试图取代纪念碑。它追问的是：公共符号可以由谁使用，又如何成为人们共享的场所。

The installation does not set out to replace the monument. Instead, it asks who gets to use public symbols, and how these symbols can support shared space.

两件装置均采用3/4英寸（约19毫米）厚的13层桦木胶合板，由设计团队自行切割、打磨。滑梯马预先组装为三个单元（滑梯段、中段和楼梯段），以钉子、螺栓和L形角码连接，便于现场快速安装。柔软的身体部位由雪尼尔织物制成，这种材料更常见于浴室地垫。织物绷紧包覆在1/2英寸（约13毫米）KT板拼成的华夫格骨架上，骨架再固定于胶合板。雪尼尔成本低、可水洗，为坚硬的几何形体带来温度。设计节结束后，两匹马被拆卸、打包，运到西雅图以东Issaquah的一处庭院重新组装。青铜骑马像在原地伫立百年，替身们则已奔赴下一个片场。

The two installations were built from ¾-inch, 13-ply birch plywood, cut and sanded by the design team. Slide Horse was preassembled in three units (the slide, the central section, and the stairs) with nails, bolts, and L-brackets for quick installation on site. The soft body parts were made by stretching chenille, a material more often found in bathmats, over a waffle framework of ½-inch foam core panels attached to the plywood. Low-cost and washable, the textile brings warmth to the hard geometry. After the festival, both horses were unbolted, flat-packed, and reassembled in a courtyard in Issaquah, east of Seattle. Where a bronze equestrian statue stands still for a century, the doubles move on to the next take.
