“建筑师工作室”系列的最后一场展览深入到地下，探访肯尼亚广阔的火山洞穴系统。Cave_bureau 工作室回溯了人类的起源，审视未来，同时找寻应对当今一些最紧迫挑战的具体方案。

肯尼亚的火山洞穴承载着该国历史和文化的独特证据。Cave_bureau 工作室以非洲视角直面现代生活的挑战，强调去殖民化优先于减碳，因为这些洞穴现在是地热能的源头，在全球绿色转型中扮演着重要角色。

以这些洞穴为基础，总部位于内罗毕的Cave_bureau 工作室以“人类世博物馆”为题，构思了一系列装置、影片和对景观进行建筑干预的提案。

Cave_bureau 工作室通过对洞穴进行3D扫描，将其空间转化为装置和建筑。这些形成了提案的框架：以“奶牛走廊”为例，其旨在恢复马赛人穿越内罗毕的迁徙路径，并为洞穴周围的野生动物和自然收集水资源。项目还探讨了非洲文化博物馆在 “人类世”时代可能会是什么样子——在这个时代，人类对自然的影响已经非常明显。

大厅中展示了一座巨大的编织雕塑，呈现了肯尼亚东部的希莫尼洞穴的全尺寸复制品。该项目与丹麦皇家建筑艺术学院建筑信息技术中心的菲尔·艾尔斯教授共同合作，将他在Kagome 编织和数字工具开发方面的研究成果应用，以实现生成复杂的几何结构的编织图案。□（孙斯坦译）

This final exhibition in the series The Architect's Studio takes a dive underground and into the extensive volcanic cave systems of Kenya.Here the design studio Cave_bureau takes a look back to the origins of humanity and examine the future,while simultaneously finding concrete solutions to some of the most pressing challenges of our time.

The volcanic caves of Kenya bear unique evidence of the country's history and heritage.From here the studio Cave_bureau confronts the challenges of modern lives from an African perspective,in which decolonisation takes precedence over decarbonisation,as the caves are now a source of geothermal energy that plays such a huge role in global green transition.

Using the caves as a basis,Nairobi-based Cave_bureau devises installations,films and proposals for architectural interventions in the landscape under the heading "The Anthropocene Museum".

Cave_bureau 3D scans the caves,before translating the shapes into installations and architecture.These form the framework for proposals: for example,"Cow Corridor",a restoration of the Masai’s migratory trails through Nairobi and a harvesting of water for wildlife and nature around the caves.All the projects also discuss what a museum of African culture might look like in the Anthropocene age -the epoch,in which the influence of humans on nature has become all too apparent.

In the Great Hall,a huge woven sculpture is presented,depicting a full-size reproduction of the Shimoni Cave in eastern Kenya.The work is a joint project with Prof.Phil Ayres from the Centre for Information Technology and Architecture (CITA) at the Royal Danish Academy -Architecture,Design,Conservation in Copenhagen,applying his research into Kagome weaving and the development of digital tools that can generate weave patterns to realise complex geometries.
