British architecture studio Asif Khan has revealed the entrance gateways to the Dubai Expo 2020, woven from carbon fibre to create 21-metre-high mashrabiya-style lattices.
The three Expo Entry Portals are all 30 metres long and sit on top of bridges spanning roads around the site of the next World Expo, which is to be held in Dubai and opens 20 October 2020.
英國建築工作室阿西夫·汗（Asif Khan）透露了2020年迪拜世博會的入口通道，該通道由碳纖維編織而成，形成21米高的mashrabiya風格的格子。
這三個世博會入口門戶都長30米，位於橫跨下一屆世博會場地的道路上的橋頂上，下一屆世博會將在迪拜舉行，並將於2020年10月20日開幕。
Asif Khan designed the portals as part of the four miles of public realm the studio has designed for Dubai Expo 2020. The 173-day-long event expects to welcome 25 million visitors.
Guests will enter through one of the 21-metre-high gateways and walk between two screen walls underneath a latticed canopy.
阿西夫·汗（Asif Khan）將門戶設計為工作室為2020年迪拜世博會設計的四英里公共區域。這一為期173天的活動預計將吸引2500萬遊客。
來賓將通過21米高的通道之一進入，並在格子的頂棚下的兩扇屏風牆之間行走。
At the end of the Expo Entry Portals two 10.5-metre-wide doors open on to a tree-filled courtyard.
The doors, which can be bolted in place, can be opened just a little when foot traffic is minimal or be flung wide open for events such as the opening ceremony and New Years Eve celebrations.
在世博會入口門戶的盡頭，兩扇10.5米寬的門通向一個樹木茂盛的庭院。
這些門可以用螺栓固定，在人流量最小的情況下可以將其打開一點，也可以將其敞開以進行諸如開幕式和除夕慶典之類的活動。
Mashrabiya is a traditional architectural element across the Arabic-speaking world, encompassing latticed screens often showcasing intricate and complex geometric patterns that shade exterior windows and balconies.
Asif Khan, who founded his eponymous practice in 2007, took a typical mashrabiya and folded it to create the long gateway.
Mashrabiya是講阿拉伯語的世界中的傳統建築元素，包括格子屏風，這些屏風常常展示出複雜而復雜的幾何圖案，遮蔽了外部窗戶和陽台。
阿西夫·汗（Asif Khan）於2007年創立了自己的同名律師事務所，他採用了一種典型的混合醬，並將其折疊起來以創造長久的門戶。
“I wanted to create a mashraybiya like no other, for it to be impossibly thin and impossibly light,” Khan told.
“There was only one material that is capable of performing like that, and that is carbon fibre.”
Khan告訴他：“我想創造一個與眾不同的mashraybiya，因為它不可能太薄，也不可能太輕。”
“只有一種材料能夠像那樣發揮作用，那就是碳纖維。”
Khan’s studio pioneered a new kind of carbon fibre technique to create the entrance gates, with the help of a specialist manufacturer and an aircraft engineer.
Khan的工作室在專業製造商和飛機工程師的幫助下率先開發了一種新型的碳纖維技術來製造入口大門。
Carbon-fibre ribbon, formed of thousands of ultra-thin carbon fibres, was wrapped around a rotating arm that doubles as formwork in a 3D-weaving process.
由數以千計的超薄碳纖維形成的碳纖維帶被纏繞在旋轉臂上，該臂在3D編織過程中可以作為模板。
These columns of latticed carbon-fibre were then craned into place and bolted to the bridges.
The design was engineered precisely to make the lattice as thin as possible while also able to span tens of metres and support itself. Despite their size, the doors can be pushed open by just one person.
然後將這些格子狀碳纖維柱吊到位並用螺栓固定到橋上。
該設計經過精確設計，可以使晶格盡可能地薄，同時還可以跨越數十米並支撐自身。 儘管門很大，但只能由一個人將門推開。
“It’s insanely light. The lightness mixed with the strength of the material allows you to span much further with less materials,” said Khan.
“Things that look like they shouldn’t be able to support themselves horizontally can. It looks like it should be way thicker than it is, and that’s part of the magic.”
Khan表示：“它真是令人難以置信的輕巧。它的輕巧與材料的強度相結合，使您可以用更少的材料進一步跨越。”
“看起來好像他們不應該能夠水平支撐自己的東西可以。看起來好像應該厚得多，這就是魔幻的一部分。”
The pattern, which has a shifting geometry when viewed from different angles, was determined by the complex equations required to balance the desired shading, air flow and dimensions.
Breezes can pass through the holes in the lattice, which produces a dappled shade that visitors will pass through on their way into the Expo 2020 site. Dubai is a hot, desert country where temperatures can rise to 35 degrees Celsius in October.
當從不同角度觀看時，具有變化的幾何形狀的圖案由平衡所需陰影，氣流和尺寸所需的複雜方程式確定。
微風可以穿過格子中的孔，這會產生斑駁的陰影，遊客將在進入2020年世博會現場時通過。 迪拜是一個炎熱的沙漠國家，十月份的溫度可能會升至35攝氏度。
Taking a traditional element of design and pushing it to the limit of technology is part of the spirit of the World Expo, said Khan.
“Expo is as much about innovating and showing the future as it is giving people a chance to understand the place,” he said.
“When you get to these moments when you can combine these two things you can suggest some kind of new regional aesthetic, which I see as exploring.”
汗說，採用傳統的設計元素並將其推向技術極限是世博會精神的一部分。
他說：“世博會不僅是創新和展示未來，還給人們提供了一個了解這個地方的機會。”
“當你將這兩件事結合起來的時候，你可以建議一種新的區域美學，我認為這是在探索。”
Dubai Expo 2020 will showcase work from architects and designers from around the world. The Dutch pavilion will feature a tower of plants that will create its own microclimate, while ES Devlin’s design for the UK pavilion will project poems written by artificial intelligence into space.
Asif Khan’s previous work includes a pavilion for the Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games in South Korea that was coated in Vantablack VBx2.
2020年迪拜世博會將展示來自世界各地的建築師和設計師的作品。 荷蘭館將設有一個植物塔，這些植物將創造自己的微氣候，而ES Devlin為英國館設計的設計將把人工智能編寫的詩歌投射到太空中。
阿西夫·汗（Asif Khan）的先前工作包括為韓國平昌冬季奧運會設計的展館，該展館塗有Vantablack VBx2。
