2、，來自全世界的運動員聚集在一起，在發(fā)揚競技精神的同時，也促進文化理解與交流。,My proposal is based on the most fundamental ideals of the Olympic games: That they are universal, bringing athletes from the entire world together to promote athletic excellence

3、 while furthering cultural understanding and exchange.,Each of the five Olympic rings is a different color. Together, they represent the five inhabited continents, although no particular ring is meant to represent any s

5、 the Olympic rings on a white background. As every national flag in the world contains at least one of the flag's six colors (black, blue, green, red, yellow, white), further symbolizes the universality of the Olymp

6、ics. 五個環(huán)分別是五種不同的顏色，代表著五大洲，雖然各個環(huán)并沒有特指某一個洲。五環(huán)相互交織，象征著奧林匹克是全球的盛會，將運動員由世界各地聚集在一起。奧林匹克旗幟背景為白色，上面是五個圓環(huán)。每個國家的國旗都至少包含了奧運會旗中的一種顏色（黑、藍、綠、紅、黃、白），進一步象征了著奧林匹克的國際性與普遍性。,B a s e d o n t h e s y m b o l s: Rings and Flag基于奧運會象

9、lptures. 本方案借用相互交織的奧運五環(huán)以代表五個大洲。建議五個環(huán)形雕塑由金屬制成（銅或鐵），與石頭結合，如圖示之模型。每一個獨立的環(huán)的中央有一塊來自五大洲之一的石頭。,Placement - conceptually interlaced設置方式–成環(huán)行呼應聯結,,Placement - conceptually interlaced設置方式–成環(huán)行呼應聯結,The locations or sites for the

13、情況是，作品設置在一個擴展性的圓上，覆蓋整個奧林匹克公園，以與相互交織連接的奧運五環(huán)相呼應。另一個很有趣的方式是，參考“風水”的原則，以地球的“環(huán)境能量線”為依據，使雕塑與自然的力量形成平衡與和諧，以此來象征奧林匹克理念。,P R O P O S A L two __ 1 ring -1 stone方案之二——– 一環(huán)一石,P R O P O S A L two __ 1 ring -1 stone方案之二——– 一

14、環(huán)一石,I believe that the power and important symbolic nature of the ring sculptures could also be successfully conveyed in one monumental "circular" stone and metal sculpture similar to the maquette illustrated.

15、As mentioned above the location of this work with in the Olympic park would be very important, perhaps considering Feng Shui again for alignment.我相信，“圓環(huán)雕塑”的力量與極具象征性的特征應當也能成功地在一個大型金屬圓環(huán)及石頭中得到體現，如圖中模型所示。此方案中作品在奧林匹克公園中的設置亦
