加拿大Papa通道

方舟

Papa通道是一次国家“公共艺术与景观一体化”比赛中的获奖作品，这次比赛是由加拿大国家首都委员会举办的。项目坐落在魁北克的加蒂诺地区，从渥太华经过亚历山大铁桥也可以进入这个通道。在处于渥太华那一侧的铁桥旁的国家画廊的前部有一个暗指路易丝·布尔乔亚的作品“妈妈”的图标。项目与邻近的“端庄”公寓大楼对齐，融入了周围的环境之中，并在考虑到Allumettieres林荫大道中央位置的同时引进了宽松的左右对称形式。这为在最开始作为城市和公园通道的项目提供了一个骨架。

在项目场址的东南角有一堵高14.4米的玻璃墙。接着就一直螺旋向下到了场址的西北部，高度也变成了2.4米。与它的折叠的几何结构相呼应的是远景也被戏剧化了，空间谱系也被制定了下来。场址的前部是公共的，是城市和公园的象征性通道。它就是一个繁忙的交通岔路口。场址的后部是私人的，是对“慢”的一种回应，充满了街区生活的住宅特色。透明彩色玻璃上的垂直条纹强调了建筑结构的高度和形式。因为项目朝南的定向，每到了天气晴朗的时候，有色的光线就会穿过墙壁进入场址中。

“Papa” was the winning submission in a national “public art and landscape integration” competition held by Canada’s National Capital Commission. Situated in Gatineau, Quebec, the work is accessed from Ottawa via the Alexandra Bridge.Alluding to Louise Bourgeois’ iconic “Maman” situated in front of the National Gallery on the Ottawa side of the bridge, the work is aligned with a neighbouring apartment block of “modest” quality, anchoring it to its context and introducing a loose form of bilateral symmetry with respect to the centre of Boulevard des Allumettieres. This creates a framework for a work that in the first instance intends to perform as a gateway to the city and to its park.

A glass wall reaches a height of 14.4m at the southeast corner of the site. It then spirals downward until it reaches a height of 2.4m at the northwest interior of the site. In concert with its folded geometry, perspective is dramatised and spatial hierarchy is established. The front of the site is urban, the symbolic gateway to the city and to the park. It performs at the “fast” scale of a busy traffic intersection. The rear of the site is intimate, a response to the “slow”,residential character of neighbourhood life.Vertical stripes of transparent coloured glass accentuate the structure’s height and form. Because of its south orientation, a dramatic wash of coloured light is projected through its walls and on into the site on sunny days.
