纳戈尔德树立方体

悬铃木立方的设计是作为纳戈尔德园艺展的献礼。它被定义为在城市背景下长期的baubotanik实验（它的意思是利用活的植物进行建筑创作）。通过“植物添加”技术的帮助，创建了一个边长10米的的绿色立方体，它从一开始就有一个完整的长成树的尺寸。

The Plane-Tree-Cube was designed as a contribution for the Regional Horticultural Show in Nagold in 2012. It was conceptualized as a long-term Baubotanik experiment within an urban context. By the help of “Plan Addition” techniques, a green cube with an edge length of 10 meters was created that, right from the beginning, had the dimension of a full-grown tree. Initially, young plane trees are arranged in plant containers on six levels. They form green walls around a space open to the sky.

最初，年轻的悬铃木被排放在层次不同的六个植物容器中。他们围绕空间面向天空形成了绿色的墙壁。随着时间的推移，这个空间的上方被逐渐长出的树冠覆盖，下部也会越来越透明，并被越来多分枝且树干越发粗壮的大树占据。园艺展期间，它作为一个观景塔和游客的庇荫处。展览结束后，这块区域将发展成一个新的社区。悬铃木立方将作为一个多功能的垂直口袋公园存在。

In the course of time, the upper part of this space will be covered by the gradually emerging canopy, while the lower part will become more transparent and dominated by the increasingly knobby and thick trunks. During the horticultural show, the cube served as a view tower and shady retreat for visitors. After the show, the area will be developed into a new neighbourhood. The plane-tree-cube will then function as a multifunctional vertical pocket park.

 “植物添加”是一种技术：年轻的植物被安排在上面，相邻的植物彼此连接，合并成一个网络状的植物结构。只有最低的植物放在地上，所有其他的都种植在装有自动系统的特殊容器中，系统会不断为它们提供水分和营养。随着这个网络里面植物的发展，扎根地面的比那些放置在容器中生长更为积极，因为地面提供了更多的根系发展空间，植物可以利用额外的资源。一旦融合完成，人工创造的植物结构可把水和养分从土里输送到最高的叶子上，容器植物的根系就被淘汰了。一步一步，位于高层次的植物根系可以被切断，自动浇水系统可以被移除，最后，这个生物结构变为了自给自足的。同时，边缘次生生长的植物增加了结构强度，最终成为自我支撑的；此时开始用来支撑年轻的植物的脚手架可以去除了。在两个测试系列中，这个概念在不同树种上得到了验证。

 “Plant Addition” is a technique where young plants are arranged above and adjacent to each other and connected so that they merge into a network-like plant structure. Only the lowest plants are put in the ground, all others are planted in special containers fitted with an automated system that continuously supplies them with water and nutrients. As this network of plants develops, the roots embedded in the ground grow more vigorously than those placed in containers because the ground provides more root space, which plants can exploit for additional resources. Once the inosculations have developed, the artificially created plant structure can transport water and nutrients from the roots in the ground to the upmost leaves, and the roots of the container plants become obsolete. Step by step, these high-level roots can be cut off, the automated watering system can be removed, and, finally, the living structure becomes self-sufficient. Simultaneously, the secondary growth in circumference increases the strength of the plant structure and eventually it becomes self-supporting so that the scaffolding, initially required to support the containers and the young plants, can be removed. During two test series, this concept was validated with different tree species.

材料产品描述.  耐特菲姆滴灌系统是非常必要的组成，可以持续精确的给花盆中的植物浇水。空气增长系统是一种新型的盆栽系统，与所谓的“空气剪根”手段配合以避免盆里根系的疯长，从而促进了植物的健康生长。steico提供的大型混凝土板覆盖了整个项目的地面区域，形成了大方美观的效果。

Product Description. The drip irrigation system by Netafim is an essential element to continuously and precisely water the plants in the pots. The Airpot Growth System is an innovative pot system working with so called “air pruning” of the roots to avoid circular root growth in the pots and to foster healthy plant growth. The large format concrete plates by steico cover the whole ground floor area of the project, giving it an generous appearance.
