“会跳舞的石林”是犬摇建筑事务所2023年为哈尔滨呼兰区龙江湿地艺术节设计的四个装置之一。我们希望在湿地上架起来的艺术装置不仅要给人以娱，更应呼唤起人类对自然之美的深刻认识，鼓励人们以一种和自然互动的方式感受人类与自然和谐共生之美。

“The Dancing Stone Forest” is one of the four installations designed by WAG Architects for the 2023 Longjiang Wetland Art Festival in Hulan District, Harbin. We hope that the art installation erected in the wetlands will not only provide entertainment, but also evoke a profound understanding of the beauty of nature, encouraging people to experience the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature through interactive means.

该项目的灵感来源于在自然界中最常见的元素——石头。石头也是人类建筑发展的起源。几千年后的今天，我们仍能看到大量以石为材的伟大遗迹。这是史前人类对自然环境改造的智慧瑰宝。其中最具有代表性的正是位于英国索尔兹伯里平原上的著名史前遗迹巨石阵。在广袤的呼兰湿地上，我们仿佛看到了时光流转，史前的伟大遗迹将要以更符合这个时代的姿态迎接他的新生命。

The inspiration for this project comes from one of the most common elements in nature – stones. Stones have also been the origin of human architectural development. Thousands of years later, we can still see numerous magnificent stone-based relics. These are the ingenious treasures of prehistoric humans’ transformation of the natural environment. One of the most iconic examples is the famous prehistoric monument Stonehenge on the Salisbury Plain in England. In the vast wetlands of Hulan, it’s as if we can witness the passage of time, and these prehistoric grand relics are about to embrace new life in a manner more suited to this era.

“会跳舞的石林”占地63平方米。30颗巨型的不倒翁气柱以双螺旋的姿态摆出一个巨石阵，邀请人们进入到其中探索玩耍。人们分别可以从两处螺旋的开口处进入并于中心会聚。不同于石头的坚硬，这个柔软的石林成为了孩子们捉迷藏的圣地。石林在人们穿梭的过程中，会随着人们的碰撞或者推动的力量翩翩起舞。自由摇摆的气柱将本来有序布置的石林变得无序。这也正体现了自然界在有序与无序中来回切换的状态。

“The Dancing Stone Forest” covers an area of 63 square meters. Thirty massive tumbler columns are arranged in a double helix pattern to form a stone circle, inviting people to enter and explore within. People can enter from two separate entries and converge at the center. Unlike the hardness of actual stones, this soft stone forest becomes a sanctuary for children’s hide-and-seek games. As people move through it, the stone forest will gracefully dance in response to the forces of collision and pushing. The freely swaying columns disrupt the orderly arrangement of the stone forest, which also reflects the constant transition between order and disorder in the natural world.

大自然于人类就像这柔软的石林，温柔而包容。它不仅为人类提供了栖息之所，更无私的将自己的美展现在所有人面前。面对大自然对人类的付出，人类最好的回馈方式便是与自然和谐共生，让自然的美得以千秋万代的延续。

Nature to humans is like this soft stone forest, gentle and accommodating. It not only provides a habitat for humanity but also selflessly displays its beauty to everyone. To appreciate nature’s contributions to humanity, the best way for humans to give back is to harmoniously coexist with nature, allowing the beauty of nature to continue for generations to come.
