Foxes, sheep, bears, frozen in a cold wonderland
The mountains and forests are desolate, and the town is cold.
The unicorn side dies and lives, releasing endless ancient dreams; The residents were unintentional and indifferent, repeating the indifferent every day.
This is a brief introduction to Haruki Murakami's work "The End of the World and Cold Wonderland". Just reading this paragraph of text, the strange orcs, thousands of miles of frozen earth, and mysterious and strange lifestyles in the book seem to be unfolding in front of Lin Shaohua's elegant translation style.
There is an architectural design studio called mjolk in the Czech Republic, and they like to present the image of architecture with clean lines. Due to the large mountainous terrain, rivers and temperate zone of the Czech Republic, these buildings stand in the snowy winter as if they were miracles at the end of the world or in a cold wonderland.
"The Guard Patrol," Mjolk's latest creation, is an observation deck designed for the small town of Roquitinis. Obviously, although the area is sparsely populated and there is a lot of room for play, for a place that was once a military fortress and retains the natural landscape of mountains and rivers, a design that was too stylish, avant-garde, and ornate seemed a bit incongruous, so they found the mascot on the town seal and invited four new guardians - fox, bear, sheep and miner, symbolizing the history of the four villages in ancient times.
Foxes, bears, sheep and miners, do you see that?
#狐狸
The fox perched on the first cliff. The long body stood on a stone with its tail sticking out into the valley and could see all of Roquitinis and the surrounding mountains. Its muscles and bones change with the seasons: the summer sun turns its back white, and the autumn rain blackens its wood-colored coat. This is the closest and best vantage point in a straight line to see the last snow melt on Mount Leysa or the first sunlit primroses on the slopes.
Come on, let the fox give you a ride.
#熊
The bear hides in a rock in the woods, blueberry bushes, not far from the fox. The designers wanted it to look like it was well fed and a big man. This observation deck has a normal view even when fog covers the mountains. The view here also refers to the bear's tall and large size, and if you're lucky, you can see woodpeckers at work at the top; If you come to the bear's feet, you may see a herd of fawn roaming the woods.
Don't be afraid of this big quiet bear, lie on his back and try it.
#羊
This sheep is the connection between a meadow suitable for walking and another location. She (female) guards the path to the miners, huddled in a blueberry bush in the forest, where there is no widest view, but a wrap-around experience of deep woods and natural weather.
Climb the ladder and pat her on the back, she will be happy.
