“梦之柱（Pillars of Dreams）”是一个轻质的地标式展览亭装置；其开放式的空间体量看似是由空气填充而成的，实则是由一个连续的超薄铝制结构表皮围合并支撑起来的。该装置的表皮共有两层，拥有迷宫般的独特形式，在天篷较为宽敞的位置设置一系列开口，并在双曲率表皮的接缝处、或是双曲率表皮分化为九个空心柱的位置逐渐收缩。

▼展览装置构建过程，buildup process of the Pillars of Dreams

Pillars of Dreams is a landmark pavilion and lightweight structure; its open volumes appear to be filled with air, but they are held up by a continuous structural skin in ultra-thin aluminum. A labyrinth of unique parts unfurl across the surface in two layers, which produce openings over the broader expanses of the canopy and contract where the double-curvature meets in seams or resolves into nine hollow columns.

展览空间的白色外表皮隐藏了其内部丰富的颜色。内部的蓝色透过白色外表皮上的开口显露出来。从远处看，整个展览装置结构呈现出一种柔和的色调，但是人们仍然可以看到起内部渐变的色彩。街道上的行人们会被其独特的外观而吸引，但只有当他们近距离观察的时候，才能了解这个结构。而随着行人因为好奇心慢慢走近这个展览亭装置，他们所看到的颜色会逐渐变深，最终被空间内部的丰富色彩而包围。

The white exterior face shrouds the saturated coloration on the interior. Openings in the veil suggest the the energy inside, where cross-laminated stripes in a set of bright hues peek out from the interior. From a distance, the structure strikes a soft tone, but the viewer can still register the pulsing glow of the gradient within. It catches the eye from the street, but must be approached to be understood. The intensity of color grows as one nears the pavilion and finally envelopes the viewer upon entry—curiosity rewarded.

这种复杂的表皮在装置内部的下方空间中营造出一种极具动感的氛围。内部空间色彩丰富，阳光不仅在这里创造出迷人的光影效果，其投射出的光带也为人们提供了一系列休闲空间——人们可以沿着装置的长边悠闲地散步，也可以借助错列的支撑柱进行一场捉迷藏的游戏，或者就坐在天篷下，享受片刻的宁静时光。

The complex skin generates a dynamic atmosphere in the space below. The atmosphere within, full of color and dappled light, inspires curiosity, collegiality, and a renewed spirit of place. Graphic shadows and projected light patterns lend magic to a casual stroll along its length, a game of tag around staggered legs, or a restful moment seated under the canopy.
