「蜂巢」裝置——義大利雕塑裝置景觀
我們很高興地宣布，此前曾榮獲多個獎項的雕塑作品「蜂巢」將從2015年米蘭世博會的英國館移至英國皇家植物園(2016年6月)。為了響應世博會「潤養大地，澤給蒼生」的主題，該展館展現了蜜蜂數量的下降和授粉給我們食物鏈帶來的深刻影響。在6個月的展覽期間，蜂巢共吸引了超過330萬的遊客，成為了全球最受歡迎的英國付費景點，並成為2015年英國十大景點之一。從概念設計到擁有「第二次生命」，蜂巢將是第一個從世博會返回英國的展館，讓英國公眾有機會體驗並享受它。
Wolfgang Buttress：We are delighted to announce that 『The Hive』 a multiple award-winning sculpture will be relocated to Kew Gardens (June, 2016) from the World Expo, Milan 2015 where it took centre stage as part of the UK Pavilion. Responding to the Expo theme 『Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life』 the Pavilion highlights the decline of honey bee populations and importance of pollination in our food chain. The Hive was experienced by over 3.3million visitors over a 6-month period, making it the most popular British paid attraction worldwide and within the top ten UK attractions of 2015. Designed from concept to have a 『second life』 The Hive will be the first UK pavilion to return back from a World Expo for the British public to experience and enjoy.

蜂巢裝置由藝術家Wolfgang Buttress與結構工程師西蒙茲工作室、諾丁漢特倫特大學物理學家馬丁·本西克博士合作設計，由英國公司Stage One製造。建築師BDP則與Wolfgang Buttress合作，創造一個沉浸式的野花草地景觀，讓遊客在通向「蜂巢」的過程中產生一種旅行感。
The Hive sculpture was designed by artist Wolfgang Buttress working in collaboration with structural engineers Simmonds Studio, physicist Dr Martin Bencsik of Nottingham Trent University, and was manufactured in the UK by Stage One. Architects BDP are working alongside Wolfgang Buttress to create an immersive wild flower meadow and landscape that will engage the visitor creating a sense of journey leading to 『the Hive』.

該裝置是一個蜂巢的抽象類似物，其結構中的旋轉扭曲形成的動態，使人聯想到蜂群。裝置整體輪廓是一個立於柱子上的14米立方體，看上去好像懸浮於草地之上，遊客可以進入其中心鏤空的球形空間，也可以走在雕塑下面，透過玻璃地板窺視內部。
The Hive is an abstracted analogue of a honeycomb. A rotational twist in the structure introduces movement, suggestive of a swarm. The form is a 14m cube raised-up on columns, appearing almost to hover above the meadow. A spherical void hollowed from the centre, allows visitors to enter. Walking beneath the sculpture, visitors may peer up through the glass floor into the interior.

裝置中的振動感測器可用來測量生活在Kew附近的真實蜂群的行為活動，向排列在蜂巢內部的1000個LED光源發送實時信號，再通過計算機編程將這些振動信號轉換成燈光效果，使蜂巢能夠通過視覺表現傳達出蜜蜂的群體狀態。這種視覺體驗是在預先錄製的蜜蜂聲音的聲景基礎上，加以補充音樂家們的合奏精心製作而成。
Accelerometers (vibration sensors) are used to measure the activity of a real bee colony living at Kew, feeding live signals to 1000 LED luminaires which line the interior of the Hive. Algorithms are used to convert these vibrational signals into lighting effects, allowing the Hive to convey a visual representation of the state of the colony. This visual experience is complemented by a soundscape based upon pre-recorded bee sounds and harmonious stems crafted by an ensemble of musicians.

該蜂巢裝置代表了蜜蜂和人類之間存在的內在重要關係，並通過一種身臨其境的多感官體驗，將藝術、科學、聲音和景觀融為一體。
The Hive represents the intrinsic and important relationship between bee and human bringing together art, science, sound and landscape through an immersive and multi-sensory experience.
