2、，來(lái)自全世界的運(yùn)動(dòng)員聚集在一起，在發(fā)揚(yáng)競(jìng)技精神的同時(shí)，也促進(jìn)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

6、ics. 五個(gè)環(huán)分別是五種不同的顏色，代表著五大洲，雖然各個(gè)環(huán)并沒(méi)有特指某一個(gè)洲。五環(huán)相互交織，象征著奧林匹克是全球的盛會(huì)，將運(yùn)動(dòng)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(gè)圓環(huán)。每個(gè)國(guó)家的國(guó)旗都至少包含了奧運(yùn)會(huì)旗中的一種顏色（黑、藍(lán)、綠、紅、黃、白），進(jìn)一步象征了著奧林匹克的國(guó)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(yùn)會(huì)象

12、e earth's environmental energy lines, aligning the sculptures in balance and in peaceful harmony with the forces of nature thus again further underscoring Olympic ideals.在奧林匹克公園的設(shè)置方式是本方案的關(guān)鍵，須由作品安裝規(guī)劃者與景觀設(shè)計(jì)團(tuán)隊(duì)協(xié)作進(jìn)行。理想的

13、情況是，作品設(shè)置在一個(gè)擴(kuò)展性的圓上，覆蓋整個(gè)奧林匹克公園，以與相互交織連接的奧運(yùn)五環(huán)相呼應(yīng)。另一個(gè)很有趣的方式是，參考“風(fēng)水”的原則，以地球的“環(huán)境能量線”為依據(jù)，使雕塑與自然的力量形成平衡與和諧，以此來(lái)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(yīng)當(dāng)也能成功地在一個(gè)大型金屬圓環(huán)及石頭中得到體現(xiàn)，如圖中模型所示。此方案中作品在奧林匹克公園中的設(shè)置亦
