Studio Weave has built an arched greenhouse as part of London Design Festival, which is filled with plants that it predicts will soon be able to grow outdoors in the UK due to climate change.

Named Hothouse, the pavilion was created to draw attention to rising temperatures caused by climate change, which will allow many tropical fruits to be grown outdoors in London in the next 30 years.

作為倫敦設計節的一部分,Studio Weave建造了一座拱形溫室,裡面盛滿了一些植物,據預測,由於氣候變化,這些植物將很快在英國的戶外生長。

館名為Hothouse,其創建目的是引起人們對氣候變化引起的氣溫上升的關注,這將使未來30年倫敦許多熱帶水果可以在戶外種植。

“We wanted to talk a little bit about how London is getting warmer,” Studio Weave director Je Ahn told Dezeen. “The idea is to show the types of plants that we will be able to easily grow in our gardens by 2050.”

“It’s not meant to be doom and gloom,” he continued, “it’s meant to remind people of the relationship we have with nature – we want people to engage with the structure and the plants.”

Studio Weave導演Je Ahn告訴Dezeen:“我們想談談倫敦的變暖情況。” “這個想法是要顯示出到2050年我們將能夠輕鬆地在花園中種植的植物類型。”

他繼續說:“這並不意味著厄運和憂鬱,這是在提醒人們我們與自然的關係-我們希望人們與建築和植物互動。”

Built as part of this year’s London Design Festival – which is one of the few major design events to go ahead this year after many were cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic – the greenhouse-like structure is located in Redman Place near the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford.

The structure pays homage to the area’s previous history as an edible fruit-growing hotspot.

Its planting was designed by landscaper Tom Massey and includes numerous tropical plants such as guava, avocado, pomegranate, mango, sugarcane and pineapple.

作為今年倫敦設計節的一部分而建造的–溫室結構位於伊麗莎白女王奧林匹克公園附近的雷德曼廣場,這是繼因冠狀病毒大流行而被取消後,今年為數不多的幾項主要設計活動之一。 在斯特拉特福。

該結構向該地區的先前歷史致敬,成為可食用的水果種植熱點。

它的種植是由園藝師湯姆·梅西(Tom Massey)設計的,包括許多熱帶植物,例如番石榴,鱷梨,石榴,芒果,甘蔗和菠蘿。

“I live in Homerton, next door to Stratford, and knew that the Lea Valley had the world’s largest density of greenhouses in the 1930,” said Ahn.

“This area supplied a huge amount of exotic fruits, like grapes and cucumbers – that was in my mind.”.

安恩說:“我住在斯特拉特福德隔壁的霍默頓,知道里阿河谷擁有1930年全球最大的溫室密度。”

“在我心中,該地區提供了大量的異國水果,例如葡萄和黃瓜。”

The seven-metre tall structure was made from a series of galvanised-steel arches that are supported by steel tension cables.

“We wanted to create something with an organic feeling that seems to be growing out of the ground,” explained Ahn.

“It has the optimum shape for achieving the climate we wanted; tall in the middle with entrances at either side that allow it to draw hot air up to the top, which can be released if it gets too hot.”

這座七米高的結構由一系列鍍鋅鋼拱形結構製成,並由鋼拉力電纜支撐。

“我們想創造一種看起來像是在自然發展的有機感覺,”安恩解釋說。

“它具有實現我們想要的氣候所需的最佳形狀;中間高,兩側各有一個入口,可將熱空氣吸到頂部,如果溫度過高,則可以將其釋放。”

As the pavilion was designed during the coronavirus pandemic, the London-based architecture practice was aware that most people would not be able to go inside, so it needed to be engaging from the exterior.

To ensure this, Studio Weave enclosed the greenhouse with transparent CNC-cut recyclable plastic to make the plants as visible as possible. At night the pavilion is lit up to draw attention to the planting.

由於該展館是在冠狀病毒大流行期間設計的,因此總部位於倫敦的建築實踐意識到大多數人將無法進入室內,因此需要從外部參與。

為了確保這一點,Studio Weave用透明的CNC切割可回收塑料將溫室封閉,以使植物盡可能地可見。 晚上,涼亭被照亮,以引起人們對種植的關注。

“We knew that not too many people would be able to go inside, so we made sure people could engage with the plants from the outside,” explained Ahn.

“We made the covering from the clearest material we could find – it’s a large version of an Edwardian Terrarium.”

“我們知道不會有太多的人可以進入室內,因此我們確保人們可以從外面與植物互動,”安恩解釋說。

“我們用最清晰的材料製作了封面,這是愛德華時期玻璃容器的大版本。”

Hothouse was built with no permanent foundations and was designed to be demountable. It will remain in Stratford for the next year before being dismantled and moved to an, as yet undetermined, permanent location.

Studio Weave has built numerous pavilions across London. Recently it built a “typical terraced house” to give views over the construction site of a new design district in Greenwich and a colourful water-tank pavilion beside River Thames next to the US embassy.

溫室的建造沒有永久性基礎,並且設計為可拆卸的。 它將在明年保留在斯特拉特福,然後拆除並移至尚未確定的永久地點。

Studio Weave在倫敦各地建造了許多涼亭。 最近,它建造了一座“典型的聯排別墅”,可以看到格林威治新設計區的建築工地,以及美國大使館旁泰晤士河旁邊的彩色水上涼亭。
