由艺术家 Olafur Eliasson 和建筑师 Sebastian Behmann 领导的 Studio Other Spaces (SOS) 推出了Common Sky，这是一个由玻璃和镜子组成的天篷，包围了Seymour H. Knox大楼的庭院。共同的天空既是一座雕塑，也是一座建筑结构，提供了一个免费向公众开放的空间，反映了博物馆对二十一世纪包容性艺术机构的愿景。

Studio Other Spaces (SOS), led by artist Olafur Eliasson and architect Sebastian Behmann, introduces Common Sky, a canopy of glass and mirrors enveloping the courtyard of the Seymour H. Knox Building. Both a sculpture and an architectural structure, Common Sky provides a space that is free and open to the public, and that reflects the museum’s vision of a twenty-first-century art institution of inclusion.

《共同的天空》是对天空的共同庆祝。玻璃屋顶就像一个镜头，邀请人们与周围的环境建立联系，同时将大气中短暂的特质纳入视线中：季节的变化、斑驳的光线和云层。交替的镜子和透明玻璃板强调物理运动作为塑造空间的一种手段，使参观者在作品中可见，并促使他们共同创造碎片化的内部和外部视角。镜子的不同角度投射出复杂的、千变万化的反射，当人们在下面的庭院中走动时，它们会呈现出意想不到的景色。

Common Sky is a celebration of the sky as common. The glass roof acts as a lens, inviting people to connect with their immediate environment, while bringing the ephemeral qualities of the atmosphere into focus: the changing seasons, the dappled light, and the cloud formations. The alternating mirror and transparent glass panels emphasize physical movement as a means to shape space, making visitors visible within the work, and prompting them to co-create fragmented inward and outward perspectives. The various angles of the mirrors cast complex, kaleidoscopic reflections that frame unexpected views as people move around the courtyard below.

“《共同的天空》是一种动态的、雕塑般的表达，结合了几何语言和有趣、诗意的方法，”艺术家兼 SOS 联合创始人奥拉维尔·埃利亚松 (Olafur Eliasson) 说。“作为一件艺术品，它让你对外面的世界、对布法罗周围的环境敏感。它让你注意到那些难以衡量的事物，以及那些依赖情感和你积极参与的事物。如果你不这样做参与其中，什么都不会改变。”

"Common Sky is a dynamic, sculptural statement that combines a geometric language and a playful, poetic approach," says Olafur Eliasson, artist and co-founder of SOS. "As an artwork, it sensitizes you to the world outside, to the surrounding environment of Buffalo. It draws your attention to things that are difficult to measure, and to things that depend on emotion and on your active involvement. If you don't get involved, nothing will change."

天篷的几何形状形成了穿过庭院的轨迹，从屋顶边缘的三角形图案到中间的六边形图案。在横截面中，屋顶结构有两层，由交替的镜面覆盖。这些反射阳光并最大限度地减少热量增益，这对于环境原因是必要的。因此，六边形和三角形的分布也有助于平衡屋顶的打开和关闭。尽管近一半的表面是封闭的，但空间感觉开放且通风。该结构在一个偏心支撑点处弯曲并延伸至地面，保持空间的不对称性。这座漏斗状的柱子标志着一棵 20 世纪 60 年代种植的孤独山楂树曾经矗立的地方，唤起了人们对过去的纪念。这一特征的存在意味着屋顶结构不需要在建筑物上强加新的支撑系统。它还增加了动感，就像空心的树干一样，吸引外部元素——无论是雨、雪、树叶还是光。

The geometry of the canopy forms a trajectory across the courtyard, from a triangular pattern at the roof’s edges to a hexagonal pattern towards the middle. In cross-section, the roof structure has two levels, which are covered by alternating mirror surfaces. These reflect sunlight and minimize heat gain, which is necessary for environmental reasons. The distribution of hexagons and triangles thus also serves to balance the opening and closing of the roof. Even though nearly half of the surface is closed, the space feels open and airy. The structure curves and reaches down to the ground at a single off-center point of support, maintaining an asymmetry of space. This funnel-like column marks the spot where a lone hawthorn tree, planted in the 1960s, once stood, evoking a memorial to what came before. The presence of this feature means that the roof structure need not impose a new support system on the building. It also adds movement and, like a hollow tree trunk, draws the outside elements in – whether rain, snow, leaves, or light.

“该结构形成了独特的设计，考虑了布法罗 AKG 艺术博物馆的所有周围元素，包括公园和邻近的建筑物，”SOS 建筑师兼联合创始人 Sebastian Behmann 解释道。“我们创作了一件特定地点的艺术品，放大了现有的情况，并将其与现代庭院的理念相结合。我们希望游客喜欢这个新的空间，每个人都可以全年、在任何天气条件下进入，无需门票，并且可以举办公共活动的地方。”

"The structure forms a unique design that takes into account all of the surrounding elements from the Buffalo AKG Art Museum, including the park, and neighboring buildings," explains Sebastian Behmann, architect and co-founder of SOS. "We created a site-specific artwork that amplifies the existing situation and combines it with the idea of a modern courtyard. We hope visitors enjoy this new space that is accessible to everyone all year round, in all weather conditions, without a ticket, and where public events can be held."

Studio Other Spaces 设计了Common Sky，以在历史博物馆和邻近的特拉华公园之间建立联系。受布法罗市强烈的天气模式和弗雷德里克·劳·奥姆斯特德 (Frederick Law Olmsted) 设计的郁郁葱葱的公园的启发，它努力用该场地固有的非古典建筑元素来形成空间，同时也尊重原有的建筑风格。Seymour H. Knox 大厦由 Gordon Bunshaft 设计并于 1962 年竣工，其严格的现代主义风格与 Common Sky 的有机形状相得益彰，与周围景观的形式相辅相成，如树木、蜿蜒的小路、云彩和阳光。

Studio Other Spaces designed Common Sky to create a connection between the historic museum and the adjacent Delaware Park. Inspired by the intense weather patterns of the City of Buffalo, and the lush park designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, it strives to form space with non-classical architectural elements that are already inherent to the site, while also honoring the original architecture. The strict modernism of the Seymour H. Knox Building, designed by Gordon Bunshaft and completed in 1962, is complemented by Common Sky’s organic shape, which rhymes with the forms found in the surrounding landscape, such as the trees, winding paths, clouds, and shafts of sunlight.

天篷的每个元素都是专门为布法罗 AKG 艺术博物馆开发的，与 ArtEngineering 的工程师 Herwig Bretis 和彼得斯堡的钢铁建筑商 Hahner Technik 合作。

Each element of the canopy was developed especially for Buffalo AKG Art Museum, in collaboration with engineer Herwig Bretis from ArtEngineering, and Petersberg-based steel constructor Hahner Technik.

该项目于 2019 年启动，是 OMA 建筑公司 Shohei Shigematsu 的新总体规划的一部分。这是博物馆 160 年历史上最重要的校园扩建和发展项目。

“Seymour H. Knox 大厦由 Gordon Bunshaft 设计，于 1962 年竣工，是现代主义建筑的著名作品，”布法罗 AKG 艺术博物馆 Peggy Pierce Elfvin 馆长 Janne Siren 说道。“奥拉维尔·埃利亚松 (Olafur Eliasson) 和塞巴斯蒂安·贝曼 (Sebastian Behmann) 以及 Studio Other Spaces 的团队与 Common Sky 一起创作了一件艺术品，旨在纪念和庆祝 Bunshaft 的建筑愿景，同时激活诺克斯大厦的拉尔夫·C·威尔逊 (Ralph C. Wilson, Jr.) 城镇广场作为一个充满活力的中心”

Initiated in 2019, this project is part of the new master plan by Shohei Shigematsu of the architectural firm OMA. It is the most significant campus expansion and development project in the museum’s 160-year history.

"The Seymour H. Knox Building, designed by Gordon Bunshaft and completed in 1962, is a renowned work of modernist architecture," says Janne Siren, Director, Peggy Pierce Elfvin, Buffalo AKG Art Museum. "With Common Sky, Olafur Eliasson and Sebastian Behmann, along with their team at Studio Other Spaces, have created an artwork that honors and celebrates Bunshaft’s architectural vision, while activating the Knox Building’s Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Town Square as a dynamic center for learning, creativity, and community engagement. People from all walks of life can see themselves reflected in this stunning kaleidoscopic canopy, which will be a must-see destination for the people of Western New York and visitors from around the world."
