夏日装置：L’Aire

在整个夏天，Mont-Royal大道上，路人如果想休息一下，就可以享受L'Aire提供的阴凉区域，这是一个位于Mont-Royal高原中心的令人回味的空中装置。更具体地说，它被安装在Mont-Royal和Boyer街角的Place Fleurs-de-Macadam上方30英尺处。

During the whole summer on Mont-Royal Avenue, passersby who want to take a break will be able to enjoy shaded areas provided by L’Aire, an evocative aerial installation located in the heart of Plateau-Mont-Royal. More specifically, it has been installed 30 feet above Place Fleurs-de-Macadam on the corner of Mont-Royal and Boyer.

L'Aire这个名字是创作者精心选择的，他们希望这个名字能反映出它的多重用途：一个路人可以聚集在这里休息、玩耍，并欣赏作品的几何趣味。L'Aire安装在Place Fleurs-de-Macadam的对角线高处，十个色彩斑斓的三角形盒子沐浴在夏日的光线中，意在让人联想到一个无视重力的大风筝。其透明/不透明的双重性导致了一天中阴影区域的变化。它是一件邀请旁观者抬头透过五彩棱镜凝视天空的作品。它的目的也是提醒人们享受当下，拥抱愉快、无忧无虑的时刻。

The name L’Aire was carefully chosen by its creators who wanted the title to reflect its multiple purposes: an area where passersby can gather to rest, play, and take in the work’s geometric playfulness. Installed diagonally high above Place Fleurs-de-Macadam, L’Aire features ten colourful triangle boxes bathing in the summer light and is meant to evoke a large kite defying gravity. The duality of its transparent/opaque nature results in shaded areas that shift throughout the day. It is a piece that invites onlookers to look up and gaze at the sky through a colourful prism. Its purpose is also to serve as a reminder to enjoy the now and embrace delightful, carefree moments.

这个独特的艺术装置由Société de développement de l'avenue du Mont-Royal赞助，Odace Événements和EN TEMPS ET LIEU与Impact Production合作制作。L'Aire是一个旨在引发对公共空间讨论的实验性项目，这无疑给设计师带来了一些挑战。"在达到预期的效果之前，我们必须做很多研究，我们研究了太阳的运动，以使装置的效益最大化。我们必须考虑到产生的阴影区域在一天中和季节中的变化。我们也非常关注如何将装置融入周围的区域。我们精心选择了颜色和形状，以模仿场地的环境，"Odace Événements的Stéphanie Leduc说。

This unique art installation was made possible by the Société de développement de l’avenue du Mont-Royal and was produced by Odace Événements and EN TEMPS ET LIEU, in collaboration with Impact Production. L’Aire, which is an experimental project designed to provoke discussion about public spaces, certainly presented a few challenges for its designers. “We had to do a lot of research before achieving the desired result: we studied the movements of the sun to maximize the benefits of the installation. We had to take into account the shaded areas produced that shifted throughout the day and over the season. We were also very focused on how we were going to integrate the installation into the surrounding area. We carefully chose the colours and shapes to emulate the environment of Place Fleurs-de-Macadam,” said Stéphanie Leduc from Odace Événements.

L'Aire，一个充满诗意的夏日装置，将继续高高飘扬在天空中，直到2019年10月。

L’Aire, a poetic, summer installation, will continue to float high in the sky until October 2019.
