Frank Gehry | Issey Miyake Tribeca: A Titanium Swirl

Inside an old 19th-century cast-iron building storefront, suspend a massive curved titanium ribbon that unfurls from the ceiling, twists through the space, and then curls upwards, like a frozen whirlwind passing through the store. The metal surface is matte titanium, reflecting light softly and without glare; the curved surface follows no regular pattern. The cast-iron columns, brick walls, and wooden beams of the old building are all preserved exposed; the newly added metal makes no attempt to blend in, and their juxtaposition is the entire design. Displayed clothing hangs on minimalist rods, receding behind the metal curve. Wide-angle interior shot, contrasting the twisting metal with the order of the old structure. Avoid: renovating the old structure, polishing the metal surface to a mirror finish, regular symmetrical curves, aligning metal with old walls.

在一棟十九世紀鑄鐵建築的舊店面內,懸掛一道巨大的鈦金屬曲面帶,從天花捲下、在空間中扭轉再向上翻起,像一陣被凍結的旋風穿過店內。金屬表面為霧面的鈦,反射柔和而不刺眼,曲面沒有規則可循。舊建築的鑄鐵柱、磚牆與木樑全部保留裸露,新加入的金屬完全不試圖融入,兩者的並置就是全部。展示的服裝掛在極簡的桿件上,退到金屬曲面之後。室內廣角拍攝,金屬的扭轉與舊結構的秩序形成對比。避免:整修舊結構、金屬表面拋光成鏡面、曲面規則對稱、金屬與舊牆對齊。
