项目“涟漪”是纽约州罗切斯特的The Urban Conga设计事务所创造的一个永久性公共装置。它是通过一系列的参与式设计研讨会与社区一起设计的，作为一个不断变化的地标，对人、景观和它们之间的互动作出反应。

Ripple is a permanent public installation created by The Urban Conga in Rochester, NY. It was designed with the community through a series of participatory design workshops to serve as an ever-changing landmark that responds to the people, the landscape, and the interactions between them.

这一干预措施是由社区为社区设计的，作为一种催化剂，通过激发开放式游戏的时刻，打破社会障碍，在公共领域内将人们联系起来。它的游戏姿态成为一个吸引人的时刻，让人们停下脚步，不仅与作品互动，而且还相互交流。这种干预变得不再是关于作品本身，而是关于它在空间中所引发的关系、对话和联系。它展示了日常空间中游戏的价值及其对创造更社会化、更健康、更安全和更包容的城市的影响。

The intervention was designed for the community by the community to act as a catalyst for breaking down social barriers and connecting people within the public realm through sparking moments of open-ended play. Its playful gesture becomes an engaging moment that gets people to stop and interact not only with the work but also each other. The intervention becomes less about the work itself and more about the relationships, conversations, and connections it can spark within the space. It showcases the value of play in everyday spaces and its impact on creating more social, healthier, safer, and inclusive cities.

项目是罗切斯特市、The Strong Museum of Play、KaBOOM和Common Ground Health正在实施的可玩性干预生态系统的一部分，它将纽约州罗切斯特市的Genesee河与市中心连接起来。项目的设计灵感来自于Genesee河的流动，它是贯穿城市中心的大动脉，也是城市历史的一个组成部分。像河流一样，波纹有一个流动的动作，当走在进入小马丁路德金公园的人行道上时，可以与作品进行互动。

Ripple is a part of an ecosystem of playable interventions being implemented by the City of Rochester, The Strong Museum of Play, KaBOOM, and Common Ground Health that connect the Genesee river with the city center of Rochester, NY. The design of Ripple was inspired by the flowing movement of the Genesee River, the main artery running through the center of the city and an integral part of the city’s history. Like the river, Ripple has a flowing motion that allows for passive interaction with the piece while walking on the pedestrian pathway into Martin Luther King Jr. Park.

项目独特的流动形式为空间内发生的各种社会互动创造了机会。该作品的彩虹色模仿了水的波纹效果，当你走过该作品时，周围环境的反射和折射让你感觉它是活的，是在动的。这个作品随着季节和周围环境的变化而变化，每次有人经过时都会创造出新的体验和记忆。这种效果是通过每个单元包含的反射二色性薄膜创造出来的，它可以根据光线照射到其表面的角度和用户对反射的操作来改变颜色。

Its unique flowing form creates opportunities for a variety of social interactions to happen within the space. The iridescence of the piece mimics the effects of rippling water, and as you walk by the piece, the reflections and refractions of the surrounding environment make it feel as if it is alive and moving. The piece adapts with the changing seasons and surrounding context creating new experiences and memories each time someone passes by. This effect was created through each unit containing a reflective dichroic film that changes color based on the angle light hits its surface and the user’s manipulation of the reflection.

这件作品包含1200个这样的单元，它们受到了罗切斯特著名的花--丁香花的形式和集群的影响。每一个单元都像一个像素，个人可以旋转，成为城市的一个信息板。它成为一个永恒的开放式可玩平台，让社区将自己的个人身份融入作品和空间。

The piece contains 1200 of these units, which were influenced by the form and clustering of the lilac, Rochester’s well-known flower. Each of these units acts as a pixel that individuals can rotate to become a message board for the city. It becomes a timeless open-ended playable platform for the community to put their own individual identity onto the work and the space.
