霍隆設計博物館展出了由UNStudio與製造商Monopol Colors採用The Coolest White（意為最涼爽的白色）油漆共同打造的定點裝置。該油漆最近在由Aric Chen、霍隆設計博物館首席策展人Maya Dvash和Azinta Plantenga共同策劃的展覽“極端狀態”中首次亮相。
The Design Museum Holon has unveiled a special site-specific installation by UNStudio with manufacturer Monopol Colors showcasing “The Coolest White” Paint, recently revealed for the first time in the exhibition State of Extremes, curated by Aric Chen with Maya Dvash, Chief Curator of Design Museum Holon, and Azinta Plantenga.

該裝置將The Coolest White這種超耐久的油漆通過特定裝置形象化地呈現出來。它創下了TSR值（總太陽能反射率）的新標準，能有效減少繁華都市地區的變暖現象，即“城市熱島效應”。高兩米、模擬了城市結構密度的城市模型，一半塗上了The Coolest White漆，以保護建築物免受過量的太陽輻射。另一半則使用了普通的黑色塗料與之形成對比。
The installation visualizes the properties of The Coolest White: an ultra-durable paint with an industry leading Total Solar Reflectance Value that has been developed to reduce warming in metropolitan areas known as the Urban Heat Island Effect. Emulating the density of city structures, this installation divides a two-meter-tall model of a city, coating one half with The Coolest White which protects buildings from excessive solar radiation. The other half is coated with a black paint.

裝置被固定在室外，其溫度隨著每天的氣溫而變化。工作人員為該裝置安裝了一個熱敏熱像儀，使參觀者能夠觀察到不同顏色模型之間的溫度差異。微型裝置形象化地模擬了The Coolest White的效果，讓遊客更清楚地瞭解建築物如何影響人們在城市中的溫度體驗，以及我們應該如何看待這一現象。

Situated outdoors, the installation warms and cools throughout the day. The installation implements a heat-sensing thermographic camera to allow visitors to see the difference in temperature between black building models, and ones coated in The Coolest White. In miniature, the installation both mimics and visualizes the effect of The Coolest White, allowing visitors to better understand how buildings impact our experience of temperature within a city, as well as how we see it.

在我們的城市中，用於建築的深色保溫材料是造成城市熱島效應的主要原因之一。與此同時，綠色空間的缺乏以及空調的熱氣排放也導致了該效應的產生。建築物吸收太陽輻射並儲存來自太陽的熱量，意味著它們不僅需要大量的能量來降溫，而且吸收的熱量也會釋放回周圍的城市環境中。如此一來，便在城市環境中形成了熱氣的不斷“循環”。隨著全球變暖加劇了這一問題，人們迫切需要控制城市的極端高溫。
The dark-coloured, heat-retaining materials used to construct the buildings in our cities are one of the main causes of The Urban Heat Island Effect, as well as the lack of green spaces and exhaust from air-conditioning which also contributes to the effect. Buildings absorb solar radiation and store heat from the sun, which means they not only require large amounts of energy to cool, but that the absorbed heat is also released back into the surrounding urban environment. As a result of this effect, greater energy is required to cool their interiors, while more heat is released and trapped in the urban environment. As global warming exacerbates this problem, there is a pressing need to manage extreme heat in our cities.

到2050年，全世界預計將有68％的人口居住在城市中，世界人口總數也會在今天的基礎上增加約25億。而面對如此迅速的發展，大多數城市都沒有做好應對的準備。對於UNStudio來說，他們的議程從未如此明確：隨著全球城市面臨著與氣溫上升和人口增長有關的緊迫挑戰，建築師、城市規劃師和設計師必須採取緊急行動。為了在全球範圍內維持宜居的、面向未來的城市，創新的城市倡議必須被提出和執行。
By 2050, 68% of the world’s population are projected to live in cities – an increase of 2.5 billion people compared with today. Most of our cities are not prepared for these developments. For UNStudio, our agenda has never been clearer. As cities across the globe face urgent challenges linked to rising temperatures and growing populations, architects, urban planners and designers must act with urgency. Innovative urban initiatives must be saught out and cultivated in order to sustain liveable, future-proof cities across the globe.

關於The Coolest White | About The Coolest White
由UNStudio與Monopol Colors共同開發的The Coolest White是一種基於氟聚合物技術的超耐久塗料。它可以保護建築物和城市結構免遭過度的太陽輻射，從而減緩城市熱島效應。全球變暖帶來了極端天氣，劇烈的氣候變化導致冰川融化，洪水和山火肆虐使得植被急劇消退。設計師、科學家和工程師選擇使用可以拯救地球的新型創新產品來應對這些問題。
Developed by UNStudio with Monopol Colors, the Coolest White is an ultra-durable paint based on fluoropolymer technology, which protects buildings and urban structures from excessive solar radiation – thus slowing down the urban heat island effect. With global warming causing extreme weathers, drastic climate change cause dramatically receding glaciers, flooding and wildfires which severely affecting the planet. Designers, scientists and engineers responding to these issues with new innovative products that can potentially save the planet.
關於霍隆設計博物館 | About Design Museum Holon
由世界著名建築師羅恩·阿拉德設計的霍隆設計博物館於2010年3月開業，並在短時間內成為中東最令人振奮的開發之一。作為旨在將霍隆市轉變為設計中心的“城市復興計劃”的一部分，該博物館的核心是為參觀者提供一個豐富而發人深省的環境，讓他們以親身接觸和實用的方式，來探索令人興奮且引人入勝的設計思想、原理、過程和對象。
