CLOUDS AND HORIZON （云与地平线）| OXO Architects

Some fields are blessed by the gods.   

有的地方得到了神的祝福。

Some are magical places that pay tribute to the horizon.

有些是向地平线致敬的神奇地方。

Their skylines are marked by celestial verticals.

他们的天际线以竖向天体为标志。

Their rivers bring a fresh touch so pure that they are blessed.

他们的河流带来清新的感觉，如此纯净，以至于他们受到祝福。

The weather is unpredictable, but often radiant.

天气变幻莫测，但常常是阳光灿烂的。

Under the eyes of St. Mary, benevolent patron of the city since its origins.

在圣玛丽的眼中，她是这座城市自诞生以来的仁慈守护者。

Places abounding of perspectives that enhance the faraway landscape.

地方丰富的视野，增强了遥远的景观。

Places for which cathedrals stand like mountains.

大教堂像山一样耸立的地方。

In these places, the challenge is to structure, to write, to build by the   side of the water. It is about revealing distant reliefs, valuing nature, highlighting the skyline, emphasizing the context or prolonging biodiversity.

在这些地方，挑战在于在水边构建、书写和建造。它是关于揭示遥远的浮雕，重视自然，突出天际线，强调背景或延长生物多样性。

Contextual architecture, by contrast or symbiosis tries to answer essential questions of present times: how to exist, how to be in Strasbourg on the banks of the Rhine? How to make Strasbourg appreciative of its other slope? How to create new functions and new architecture by the water’s side? How to reveal the place, its horizons, its trees, its waters without contradict its context? How to create lasting activities?

相比之下，语境建筑或共生试图回答当今时代的基本问题：如何存在，如何存在于莱茵河畔的斯特拉斯堡？ 如何让斯特拉斯堡欣赏它的其他坡度？ 如何在水边打造新功能、新建筑？ 如何在不与既有环境相矛盾的情况下揭示这个地方、它的地平线、它的树木、它的水域？ 如何创造持久的活动？

It is about the future and about new working conditions we think   when proposing a resilient, connected architecture that inscribes itself delicately into the landscape and nurtures the pleasure of simply being in a place. We have imagined a place open to the world, but linked to nature, where the user and his well-being are at the heart of our reflection and creation.

它关乎未来，关乎我们在提出一种弹性的、相互连接的建筑时所考虑的新工作条件，该建筑将自己巧妙地融入到景观中，并培养仅仅在该地方的乐趣。我们设想了一个向世界开放但又与自然相连的地方，使用者及其福祉是我们反思和创造的核心。
