“动物工厂”是由阿姆斯特丹NDSM码头基金会举办的公开征集活动的冠军作品。NDSM码头位于阿姆斯特丹北部、IJ运河的上游，是一个广阔的前工业区域，在这里，巨大的机械仓库和旧工厂被改造成了现代的酒店、办公空间、公寓以及许多知名艺术家和设计师的工作室。”

“动物工厂”就坐落在码头的一片户外场地，它由数个极简的金属动物雕塑组成，在自然和工厂的对比之间增添了一份额外的乐趣。

This project has been the winner of the Open Call organized by Stichting NDSM-werf in Amsterdam. This area, in the north part of Amsterdam, above the IJ canal, it’s an ex industrial vast zone where huge hangars and old factories are now converted into hotels, offices, apartments and most of all artists and designers ateliers.

Animal Factory consists of minimally designed metal animals placed in the outdoor spaces of NDSM, and it plays with the contrast between nature and factories.

作品背后的想法亦是如此：在幻想与现实、以及自然环境与工业环境的交界处创造一座“桥梁”，作为人与动物之间的一种有力连接。在这种特殊的对比中，整个码头地区的工业特质与NDSM船厂的历史记忆共同孕育出了一群色彩斑斓又充满乐趣的“钢铁动物”。

This is the idea behind the project, creating a bridge between fantasy and reality, natural and industrial, a playground for children, a place to hang out for grown ups, a strong link between people and animals. In this specific contrast, the industrial nature of this whole area and the old memory of the NDSM shipyard, will give birth to a flock of steel creatures, colorful and playful.

这些动物包括长颈鹿、大猩猩、鳄鱼和狼，它们均以极其简单的造型呈现。每个“动物”各自采用了一种明快的色调，金属管道构成的形体使它们并非从所有的方向都能被清晰地辨识出来，但也正因如此，才为经过它们的路人带来了意想不到的快乐。

The objects – a giraffe, gorilla, crocodile and wolf – are characterized by a minimal shape, made of metal tubing and a minimal use of color: each one is painted in a single shade, encouraging passers-by to open their minds and let their imaginations run wild. While from a certain angle the steel construction does not seem to have a specific shape, from another place the contours of a gorilla are clearly visible. In this way the animals form surprises in the industrial landscape.

the animals themselves and people are in their real proportions

“动物工厂”的设计者Luca Boscardin从事玩具和可视化设计，并对极简的形状和线条尤其感兴趣——摒除多余事物、追求“减法”是他一直以来的工作方式。在该项目中，每个雕塑都精确地符合动物的真实尺寸和比例，因此也能够最真实地传达出动物与人之间的对照关系。

This approach is a core intention of my work. I’m always interested and seeking to simplify shapes and lines, with the idea of taking away everything extra, a constant work of subtraction. In this way, I let the imagination of the children and, grown ups too, to go wild.

Animal factory is a collection of animals designed in a simple and linear way, each one maintaining the exact size and proportions of the real ones. The motivation behind it, is to enphasise the contrast between the city and and the animals, and the animals themselves and people, in their real proportions.
