Giant Retractable Umbrellas: Mechanical Shading for the Plaza

Dozens of giant retractable sunshades are regularly arranged on a marble-paved plaza. Each umbrella's support column is 15 meters high, and when unfolded, the umbrella surface is a 25x25 meter square, composed of high-strength fabric and retractable steel frames. The image shows the same plaza with some umbrellas already unfolded, some in the process of unfolding halfway, and some still retracted into slender column shapes, resulting in discontinuous and irregularly shaped shadows on the ground. The umbrellas are off-white, with geometric patterns on their undersides. Gaps are left between umbrellas to allow hot air to rise. It's noon, and people are moving in the shadows. Avoid: all umbrellas depicted in the same state, circular umbrella surfaces, thick support columns, no people on the plaza.

一片大理石鋪面的廣場上規則排列著數十支巨型的可收合遮陽傘,每支傘的支柱高 15 公尺,展開後的傘面是 25x25 公尺的方形,由高強度的織品與伸縮的鋼骨組成。畫面呈現同一片廣場上部分傘已展開、部分正在展開到一半、部分仍收合成細長柱狀的狀態,因此地面的陰影是斷續且形狀不一的。傘的顏色是米白,底面有幾何圖案。傘與傘之間留出縫隙讓熱空氣上升。正午,人群在陰影裡移動。避免:所有傘畫成同一狀態、傘面做成圓形、支柱做粗、廣場上沒有人。
