SJS为格兰纳利广场完成了一个名为 "The Electric Nemeton"的新装置。电动尼米顿 "借鉴了圣诞树传统的起源，参考了凯尔特文化中作为聚会场所的森林小树林。在这里用几何学、色彩和光线重新想象，它变成了一个抽象的森林小树林。一部分是树，一部分是空间框架，它创造了一个可以穿行的空间，一个社会生活的舞台，也是格兰纳里广场上的一个雕塑对象。

SJS have completed a new installation for Granary Square titled The Electric Nemeton. The Electric Nemeton draws on the origins of the Christmas tree tradition, referencing the forest groves that acted as gathering places in Celtic culture. Reimagined here with geometry, colour and light it becomes an abstracted forest grove. Part tree, part spaceframe, it creates a space to walk through, a stage for social life and a sculptural object in Granary Square.

它是由一系列模块化的树状金字塔组成的，这些金字塔离地面4米高，由金属柱干支撑。木材部分被用来建造树形结构，拉伸的彩色网板构成了它的树冠。照明效果突出了结构的半透明性。这些简单的材料--脚手架网、木托梁、镀锌钢--暴露了施工过程，而它们的分层创造了一些更神奇的东西。当你四处走动时，结构有时更透明，有时更坚实。它的颜色会逐渐变淡，并相互渗透。

It is formed by a series of modular tree-like pyramids held 4m above the ground on metal column-trunks. Timber sections are used to construct the tree-structure, with stretched coloured net panels forming its canopy. Lighting effects accentuate the structures translucent qualities. These simple materials - scaffold net, timber joists, galvanised steel - expose the construction process while their layering creates something more magical. As you move around, the structure is sometimes more see through, sometimes more solid. Its colours fade and bleed from one to another.

作为一个大的、高架结构表现力强的屋顶，它为下面的事物创造了一个空间。借鉴了附近国王十字车站和圣潘克拉斯车站的大工程棚，这个大屋顶是一种促进社交的姿态。项目也是对冬至前后建筑与自然融合的传统的一种尝试--从古埃及和罗马人用棕榈叶作为土星节的装饰，到我们把槲寄生和冷杉树带入家中的德鲁伊式使用。在这里，树木本身成为一种建筑，同时也是具有森林特质的建筑。

As a big, elevated structurally expressive roof, it creates a space for things to happen underneath. Borrowing from the great engineered sheds of Kings Cross and St Pancras stations nearby, the big roof is a social gesture.The Electric Nemeton is also a take on the traditions of merging architecture and nature around the winter solstice - from the palm leaves used in ancient Egypt and by Romans as Saturnalia decorations to the druidic use of mistletoe and fir trees we bring into our homes. Here, the trees become a kind of architecture themselves, but also architecture with forest-like qualities.

当公共空间在Covid-19期间有了新的意义，项目为冬季户外生活的可能性做出了更多的贡献。一个结构，本身就是一个活动，一个探索的地方，一个开放性使用的平台。就像所有冬季树的传统，其象征意义是为了驱赶黑暗，并作为一种希望太阳回归的姿态，项目也表达了一种希望我们的社会和公共生活回归的想法。

As public space has taken on new significances during Covid-19, the Electric Nemoron contributes a little more to the possibilities of winter life outdoors. A structure that itself is an event, somewhere to explore and a platform for open ended use. Like all winter tree traditions whose symbolism is intended to ward off the darkness and act as a gesture of hope for the return of the sun, the Electric Nemeton also expresses an idea of hope for the return of our social and public lives.
