彩色“岩石”结构装置 – Le rocher très percé

这是一个置于土质、岩石、矿物和植物景观中，脱离了背景，带有水生色彩的结构。从远处看过去，它的象征意义和大小会显得尤其突出，仿佛夏天沉积在Grand-Métis的一个满是穿孔的岩石。游客可以触摸、攀登并享受这个经过重新诠释后，通常不可触摸的地区象征符号，可以在这样一个自然和喜庆的环境中绕圈、攀爬，甚至是躺上去休憩。它延续了Reford Gardens原本所提供的文化和自然景观之间的相互尊重的对话环境。

Removed from its context, a structure with aquatic colours is found in an earthy, rocky, mineral and planted landscapes. Often seen from a distance, imposing because of its symbolism and size, a very pierced rock is deposited in Grand-Métis for the summer. The visitor is invited to touch, climb and enjoy the reinterpretation of this normally untouchable icon, symbol for an entire region. Here, one can circle round, climb and even lie down on this contemporary remake in a natural and festive environment. The project continues the respectful dialogue between the cultural and natural landscapes offered by Les Jardins de Métis / Reford Gardens.

回忆缤纷翅果童年 – Les hélicoptères

该项目旨在引导游客记住这大自然中的嬉戏和美丽时光，并关注当地槭树生态。用人造的颜料和材料模仿真实豆荚制作豆科植物种子，唤起人们心中对其美丽、形态和功能的关注。

成千上万色彩缤纷的翅果被定格在他们生命中最活跃的时刻，以令人着迷的的魅力，唤起游客的怀旧之情。人们会想起他们小时候常以玩这种种子为乐，也会向同游的小孩展示如何操作。触摸、旋转、观察、探索，记得在这个秋天邀三五好友一起来玩耍。“我们希望这将激发游客在未来继续接触自然的兴趣。”

The project invites visitor to remember the playfulness and beauty of nature and to celebrate the life cycle of the native maple tree. Les hélicoptères mimics the action of real seed pods with artificial colors and materials in order to call attention to its beauty, form and function.

Thousands of colourful samaras are frozen in time in their most animated moment of life to evoke enchantment and nostalgia for visitors. Adults will remember how they used to play with the seeds and show their younger counterparts how it is done. Touch, spin, examine, explore, and remember to play with the real one come autumn. “We hope this will spark interest in the visitors to continue to engage with natural objects in the future.”

一起“兴风作浪”吧 – Making Waves

在物理学中，物体的动能是由于运动而在其内部积聚的能量。基于这个概念，我们团队想要展示两个个体的运动是如何通过建立、扩展和倍增动能来创造出壮观的色彩波动。游客在玩跷跷板的过程中，会惊讶地发现原本一项平淡无奇的活动怎么会产生如此新奇和令人兴奋的效果。

跷跷板上缠绕着一条弹性的橡胶皮带，皮带上贴着轻质铝条。当跷跷板上下移动时，皮带就会扭曲转动，铝板跟着振动，动能就会从粉红色辐射延伸到蓝色。如果提高跷跷板的运动速度和频率，还会产生更多的能量和更壮观的波浪效果。

我们的装置需要个人的动能参与，才能展示出其全部潜力，所以，它的颜色、形状和熟悉的跷跷板组件加强参与者之间的互动。动能创造的奇妙色彩和动态让每个参与者都能以自己的方式“兴风作浪”。

In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy built up within it due to its motion. Building upon this idea, our team wanted to show how the motion of just two individuals could build up, expand, and multiply kinetic energy to create a spectacular wave of colour. Visitors are invited to play on a seesaw but will be surprised at how a familiar activity can have such unfamiliar and exciting results.

The seesaw twists a flexible rubber belt onto which lightweight aluminium bars are affixed. As the seesaw moves up and down, the belt twists and turns, and a wave of kinetic energy radiates from pink to blue as the aluminum planks oscillate. Increasing the speed and frequency of the seesaw’s movements result in more generated energy and more spectacular waves.

Our installation requires the kinetic energy of individuals to reach its full potential; and so, its colours, shape, and familiar seesaw components emphasize the invitation for interaction. The fantastic displays of colour and movement created by kinetic energy allows each participant to “make waves” in her or his own way.

景观“和声” – Paysage euphonique

在音乐领域，“谐音”是指悦耳和谐的声音组合。在这个花园中，设计师在游客与景观的关系上施加了一种张力：明亮的颜色会影响参观者的生理感受，圆锥的形状也会放大声音。这些装置在展示场地元素的同时，也为游客提供了玩耍的空间。

大地：在挖洞和感知小型爬行动物和腐殖质气味的过程中，与大地直接亲密互动。风：通过两个交错的移动扩音器，声音乘着风四处传播。天空：当我们把头放进这个巨大的开放圆锥体，将自己与其余元素隔离开来，一切又归于平静。从聆听沉思到表达我们的狂野灵魂，这里的每一个装置都旨在促进人们的和谐交流。

Euphony, in the field of music, refers to a pleasant and harmonious combination of sounds. In this garden, designers put tension on the relationship of visitors to the landscape: the colours bring about a physiological change in them while the conical shapes amplify the sounds. These playgrounds reveal the elements of the site and invite the visitors to play there.

Earth: in direct contact with the ground, we burrow and sense the small creeping beasts and the smell of humus. Wind: two interlaced mobile loud-speakers broadcast the sounds from one place to another.

Sky: everything is calm. Our head enters an immense open cone isolated from the rest of the elements. Each of these devices invites the whole spectrum of communication, from contemplative listening to the expression of our wild soul.

森林密室 – Réflexions colorées

这是一个由半透明的等边三角形(20 x 20 x 20英尺)构成的私密庭院般的封闭空间，该装置既创造了森林的框架，又增强了游客对森林的感知。

装置内部玻璃的颜色建立了一种清晰的空间感，而它的半透明表面创造了一种令人惊叹的感受，参与者的感受会随着光线条件和自身相对树木的位置和与玻璃角相交角度的变化而变化。

从外部来看，这个装置是可以被物理理解的，但它的反射感知特性把它变成了一个神秘的物体。该装置已于2003年在国际花园节进行了首次展览。

A semi-reflective equilateral triangle (20 x 20 x 20 ft) provides an intimate, courtyard-like enclosure that both frames and intensifies the perception of the forest.

Within the enclosure, the colour of the glass establishes a sense of spatial definition, while its semi-reflective surface creates surprising perceptual readings that change with the conditions of light and the visitor’s position towards trees and angles at which glass corners meet.

From the outside, the installation is physically understood, but its receptor quality transforms it into an enigmatic object. This installation was originally created for the 2003 edition of the International Garden Festival.
