OMA与Inside Outside合作设计了“Ethar – 向慷慨致敬”这一景观项目，这是一片由柱子围合成的场地，柱身刻有阿拉伯学者、科学家和思想家的故事，形成了一个象征着慷慨与知识的纪念性景观。如今，这个装置已经成为迪拜城市景观的一部分，彰显着阿拉伯联合酋长国独特的慈善捐赠文化。

OMA and Inside Outside have collaborated on a design for “Ethar – Honoring Generosity”, a field of columns engraved with stories from Arabic scholars, scientists and thinkers, unified in a monumental landscape embodying generosity and knowledge. The installation celebrates the unique culture of charitable giving in the United Arab Emirates with a physical installation that is part of the urban landscape of Dubai.

1680根三角形铝柱像磁场一样排列，指向装置中心的矩形广场。行走其中，游客首先在边界处遇到一片矮小的柱子，随着柱子逐渐升高，内部形成戏剧性透视效果的街道，最后到达中心开放的公共广场。柱子的密度营造出一种宜人的微气候，遮光设施进一步加强了这种效果，通过这种方式，景观装置成为一个充满趣味的社交空间。这些柱子采用100%可回收的铝材制成。

1,680 triangular shaped aluminum columns, arrayed like a magnetic field, point towards a rectangular Plaza in the heart of the installation. Walking through, visitors first encounter a field of small pillars at the boundary of the site, which further inwards turns into a street with dramatic perspective effects as the columns grow taller, opening up in a public square in the center. The density of columns creates a pleasant micro-climate further enhanced by shading devices through which the installation will become a playful social space. The ambition is to make these columns out of recycled aluminum, a building material that is 100 % recyclable.

在夜晚，一道亮光逐渐由宽变尖，由冷变暖，加强了柱列景观的动态感。一排排不锈钢照明设施构成广场形态，突显设计动感。

At night, a spectacle of illumination enhances the dynamics of the column landscape with lights gradually shifting from wide to sharp and cold to warm. Rows of stainless steel lightning fixtures mark the plaza, and enhance the gesture of movement in the design.

“Ethar – 向慷慨致敬”景观装置将设置在朱梅拉海滩（Jumeirah Beach）上，但它也适用于不同的环境：将几组柱子散布在城市的几个关键位置，作为阿联酋文化的象征。项目强调人才和教育的重要性，并且在政府主要慈善组织的资助下实施。每根柱子筹集的资金将用于支持阿联酋以教育为重点的慈善机构。Ethar项目由YBK集团的Yasser Bin Khediya先生发起，迪拜Ethar基金会负责执行。

“Ethar – Honoring Generosity” will be located on Jumeirah Beach, but it’s character can also adapt to different contexts: groups of columns can also be dispersed throughout the city, appearing in key urban locations as a symbol for Emirati culture. The project emphasizes the importance of valuing talent and education, and will be realized under the patronage of leading governmental charity organizations. Funds raised by the sponsoring of individual columns will be used to support charities with a focus on education in the UAE. Ethar is initiated by the YBK Group, Mr. Yasser Bin Khediya, and will be carried out by the Dubai based Ethar Foundation.
