 Hive Drawing

蜂巢图

参观展馆的游客跟随蜜蜂的舞蹈，在一系列的风景中旅行。这段经历始于一次穿越果园的旅程，然后是一片野花草地，接着是一个令人印象深刻的中心部分：蜂巢，这是一个14米长的雕塑元素，它利用光和声音来模拟真实蜂巢的活动。

Visitors to the Pavilion follow the dance of a bee, travelling through a series of landscapes. The experience starts with a journey through an orchard, followed by a wildflower meadow and on to an impressive centrepiece: The Hive, a 14m-cubed sculptural element that uses light and sound to simulate the activity of a real beehive.

在约克郊外的第一阶段工厂，蜂巢是由169，300个铝部件制造而成的。该结构由三个主要组成部分组成：弦、杆和节点。同心的锯齿形和弦构成蜂巢的主体，并连接到一米长的杆上。位于交叉和弦交点处的半圆形节点为杆提供了连接点。

Machined and fabricated at Stage One’s factory just outside York, the Hive is constructed from 169,300 individual aluminium components. Assembled in 32 horizontal layers, the structure comprises three main components: chords, rods and nodes. The concentric zig-zag shaped chords form the main body of the hive and are connected to rods measuring up to one-metre long. Semi- circular nodes located at the intersections of the overlapping chords provide connection points for the rods.

蜂巢概念的基础是蜂巢中心的球形空洞，它允许人们走进去，体验蜜蜂活动的感官表现。LED灯配件，嵌入铝节点组件，辉光和脉动，以表示通过加速度计捕捉到在一个真正的蜂巢内，在诺丁汉近千英里以外的活动。

Fundamental to the Hive concept is the spherical void in the centre of the Hive, which allows people to walk inside and experience the sensory representation of the bees’ activity. The LED light fittings, embedded into the aluminium node components, glow and pulsate to represent the activity captured via an accelerometer within a real beehive located almost a thousand miles away in Nottingham.

第一阶段的高级项目主任亚当·威尔迪说：“被任命为2105米兰世博会英国馆的主要承包商是第一阶段作为复杂可拆卸建筑领域的重要参与者的真正验证。我们的客户UKT

Adam Wildi, Senior Project Director at Stage One, said: “Being appointed as Main Contractor for the UK Pavilion at Milan Expo 2105 was real validation for Stage One as a significant player in the field of complex demountable architecture. Our client UKT&I was particularly enlightened and allowed us to manage the project in an efficient and controlled manner. There have been challenges in terms of sheer volume of Hive components and a very compressed programme. Nevertheless, we are delighted to have created an astonishing pavilion in time for the opening of Expo on 1st of May.”

该项目的团队克服了复杂的结构和后勤复杂性，展示了第一阶段在提供建筑、艺术和娱乐活动的设施和展馆方面的专门知识，例如自2009年以来的奥运会仪式和每一个蛇形画廊展馆。

The intricate structure and the logistical complexities overcome by the project’s team demonstrate Stage One’s expertise in delivering installations and pavilions for architectural, artistic and entertainment events, such as Olympic Games Ceremonies and every Serpentine Gallery Pavilion since 2009.
