1912 年，美国建筑师霍华德·肖设计了首座被称为Ragdale Ring 的花园剧场（A Garden Theatre）。为了纪念这位伟大的建筑师，更为了激发建筑与艺术的创造力，Ragdale 艺术基金会从2013 年开始连续举办了6 次主题为“Ragdale Ring”的设计国际竞赛。竞赛要求参赛者在原址80ft × 80ft 范围内的草坪上设计一处不少于150 座的室外花园剧场，为一个月的观演活动提供临时场所。朱文一工作室提交了题为“MemoRing”的设计方案。

首先，方案“MemoRing”是一块将影像观看效率最大化的屏幕，建筑大师肖恩的作品和Ragdale 基金会的历史等影像都可以在此播放（图1）。因此，方案“MemoRing”也可以理解为历史影像的“记忆环”，同时也呼应了1912 年的Ragdale 环（图2—图4）。

第二，方案“MemoRing”采用悬浮空中的结构，既提供了尽可能大的舞台，又创造了一种新的剧场空间形式。在两周的活动期间，这块直径45ft 的圆形装置可以用于看电影、现场秀、派对及音乐会等多种形式的开放空间（图5—图7）。

第三，380 个氦气球固定在45°倾斜的圆形装置上，以3 根钢丝与地面连接，创造了悬浮空中的“MemoRing”轻盈、精致的形象。此外，“MemoRing”可以根据气候变化、观演需要等灵活调节其高低和角度（图8）。

第四，方案“MemoRing”运用成熟技术，有很强的现实可操作性。其预算为14,800 美元，包括7,200 美元的气球，4,900 美元氦气罐，1,300美元屏幕和放映设备等。5～10 人可以在几天内安装“MemoRing”装置（图9）。

第五，设计场地位于芝加哥以北30mi 的森林湖（Lake Forest）地区，自然环境极其优美。针对这样的郊野环境，方案“MemoRing”构想的悬浮在空中的斜置圆形装置，实现了对环境的最小干扰。

方案“MemoRing”充分考虑了谷歌地球上从万能视角、谷歌3D 到谷歌街景全方位、多层次的视觉体验（图10）。

In 1912, American architect Howard Van Doren Shaw designed the firstA Garden Theatrecalled the Ragdale Ring. To commemorate this great architect and to inspire creativity in architecture and art, the Ragdale Foundation has hosted six international competitions for the theme of "Ragdale Ring" since 2013. The competition required participants to design an outdoor garden theater of no less than 150 seats on the lawn within 80ft×80ft of the original site, providing a temporary space for a month performance. ZHUWENYI Atelier submitted a design proposal entitled “MemoRing”.First, the proppsal "MemoRing" is also a screen that maximizes the efficiency of image viewing (Figure 1). The works of architect Shaw and the history of the Ragdale Foundation can be played here. Therefore, the proppsal "MemoRing" can also be understood as the "memory ring" of historical images, and also echoes the 1912 Ragdale ring (Figure 2-4).

Second, the proppsal “MemoRing” uses a suspended air structure that provides both the largest possible stage and a new form of theater space. During the month event, the 45ft diameter circular installation can be used to watch movies, live shows, parties and concerts in a variety of open spaces (Figure 5-7).

Thirdly, 380 helium balloons were fixed on a 45° inclined circular installation and connected with the ground with 3 wires to create a light and delicate image of the "MemoRing" in the suspended air. In addition, "MemoRing" can flexibly adjust its height and angle according to climate change and viewing needs (Figure 8).

Fourth, the proposal "MemoRing" uses mature technology and has strong practical operability. The budget is $14,800, including $7,200 for balloons, $4,900 for helium tanks, $1,300 for screens and projection equipment. 5 to 10 people can install the “MemoRing” installation in a few days (Figure 9).Fifth, the design site is located in the Lake Forest , 30 miles north of the city of Chicago. The natural environment is extremely beautiful. For such a wild environment, the proposal "MemoRing" envisions an oblique circular installation suspended in the air to achieve minimal interference to the environment (Figure 10).

The proposal "MemoRing" fully considers the all-dimensional, multi-level visual experience on Google Earth from a God's eye view, Google 3D to Google Street View.
