Architect Jaimie Shorten will install six singing shark sculptures in a London canal after winning this year’s Antepavilion competition organised by the Architecture Foundation.
Titled SHARKS!, this pavilion will consist of six model sharks containing audio equipment. Positioned to look like they are leaping from the murky Regents Canal, the sharks will sing and give lectures on architecture and urbanism.
在贏得今年由建築基金會組織的Antepavilion競賽后，建築師Jaimie Shorten將在倫敦運河上安裝六隻鯊魚雕塑。
這個名為“鯊魚！”的展館將包含六個裝有音頻設備的模型鯊魚。 鯊魚的位置看起來好像他們正在從朦朧的攝政運河上跳躍，他們會唱歌並講授有關建築和城市主義的講座。
Shorten’s winning design is a tongue-in-cheek comment on Hackney Council’s decision to serve enforcement notices against two of three previous Antepavilions, which references a well-known planning battle over a large shark embedded in the roof of a terrace near Oxford.
The annual Antepavilion competition, held by the Architecture Foundation (AF), invites participants to design an experimental pavilion that demonstrates an “anti-authoritarian impulse”.
“This year’s Antepavilion contestants had to contend with two quite challenging requirements,” said AF director Ellis Woodman.
“First, the structure had to be located on pontoons in the canal and second it had to respond to the planning battle that the Antepavilion programme has provoked,” he told Dezeen.
肖特的獲獎設計是對哈克尼議會決定對前三個Antepavilions中的兩個進行執法通知的決定的嘲弄性評論，後者引用了著名的關於在牛津附近的露台屋頂嵌入大鯊魚的計劃戰。
由建築基金會（AF）舉辦的一年一度的Antepavilion競賽邀請參賽者設計展示“反威權主義衝動”的實驗性展館。
AF主任Ellis Woodman說：“今年的Antepavilion參賽者必須應對兩個非常具有挑戰性的要求。”
他告訴Dezeen：“首先，該結構必須位於運河的浮橋上，其次，它必須對Antepavilion計劃引發的計劃戰做出回應。”
The Antepavilion project dates back to 2017, when PUP Architects built a sneaky rooftop micro home disguised as an air duct on top of a warehouse as the inaugural pavilion.
The following year, an inflatable performance venue called AirDraft was constructed on a barge by architects Thomas Randall-Page and Benedetta Rogers. Last year Maich Swift Architects built Potemkin Theatre, a wooden tower on another part of the warehouse roof.
Antepavilion項目的歷史可以追溯到2017年，當時PUP Architects在倉庫的頂部建造了一個隱蔽的屋頂微型房屋，偽裝成通風管，作為首個亭子。
次年，建築師托馬斯·蘭德爾·佩奇和貝內塔塔·羅傑斯在駁船上建造了一個名為“ AirDraft”的充氣表演場地。 去年，邁奇·斯威夫特（Maich Swift）建築師在倉庫屋頂的另一部分建造了Potemkin劇院，這是一座木塔。
The fourth Antepavilion will draw on the council’s reaction to these predecessors and the story of the Headington Shark – a fibreglass shark that appears to have crashed through the roof of a terraced house in Headington, Oxford.
Oxford’s city council tried to remove the shark sculpture, designed by sculptor John Buckley, because it had no planning permission. However, it was allowed to remain following a local campaign.
第四屆Antepavilion大會將藉鑑市議會對這些前任的反應以及Headington鯊魚的故事。HeadingtonShark是一種玻璃纖維鯊魚，看起來像從牛津Headington的一棟排屋的屋頂墜落一樣。
牛津市議會試圖刪除由雕塑家約翰·巴克利（John Buckley）設計的鯊魚雕塑，因為未經規劃許可。 但是，它被允許保留在當地競選活動之後。
“Russell Gray who owns Hoxton Docks and initiated the Antepavilion programme was also responsible for the installation of a World War II Russian tank on Mandela Way in Southwark which, much to Southwark Council’s annoyance, has now stood there for over twenty years,” said Woodman.
“So I think Jaimie’s proposal resonated strongly with him,” he added.
“Of course, the project is challenging to expectations of what a pavilion is but all the jury were impressed by the precision of the response to the physical and cultural context.”
伍德曼說：“擁有霍克斯頓碼頭並發起Antepavilion計劃的羅素·格雷還負責在南沃克的曼德拉大道上安裝了第二次世界大戰的俄羅斯坦克，這使南沃克委員會感到不安，現在已經在那里呆了二十多年，”伍德曼說。 。
他補充說：“所以我認為傑米的提議引起了他的強烈共鳴。”
“當然，這個項目挑戰了人們對館子的期望，但是所有評審團都對對自然和文化環境做出的精確反應印象深刻。”
Shorten, a partner at London studio Barker Shorten Architects, initially planned for the sharks to be clustered in a tableau reminiscent of artist Théodore Géricault’s 1819 oil painting The Raft of the Medusa, which depicts the survivors of a shipwreck menaced by sharks.
In light of the coronavirus pandemic sweeping the globe, Shorten suggested the sharks could be separated to demonstrate social distancing measures.
Sponsored by property developer Shiva, Antepavilion’s winning architect receives £25,000 to execute their design. The construction of the fourth Antepvalion could be delayed due to coronavirus, the AF has warned.
Fans of shark-related design can also enjoy photos of a $100,000-a-night hotel room decorated with Damien Hirst artworks of sharks preserved in tanks of formaldehyde.
倫敦工作室Barker Shorten Architects的合夥人Shorten最初計劃將鯊魚聚集在一個畫面中，讓人聯想到藝術家ThéodoreGéricault的1819年油畫《美杜莎的筏》，描繪了鯊魚遭受海難的沉船倖存者。
鑑于冠狀病毒大流行遍及全球，肖特恩建議可以將鯊魚分開以展示社會疏遠措施。
由地產開發商Shiva贊助，Antepavilion的獲獎建築師將獲得25,000英鎊來執行其設計。 AF警告說，由于冠狀病毒的緣故，第四次Antevalvalion的建造可能會推遲。
與鯊魚相關的設計迷們還可以欣賞每晚10萬美元的酒店房間的照片，這些房間裝飾有保存在甲醛罐中的鯊魚的達明安·赫斯特（Damien Hirst）藝術品。
