藝術家瑪莉.密斯於1987年在AA倫敦建築聯盟舉辦畫展時,在阿爾文.博亞爾斯基的委託下,為貝德福德廣場構思一件雕塑裝置,並繪製了這張概念設計圖。密斯的作品常常引導觀者逐步穿越並體驗,作品所在之處的景觀和室內空間。她以貝德福德廣場中心一座封閉門控的庭院作為作品對話的起點,設計出這件雕塑裝置,希望讓民眾在這座大門深鎖的綠色庭院周邊,也能有一塊稍作駐足的空間。此作運用3D建築表現中,等角繪圖的標準型式繪製而成,不禁讓人想到密斯的裝置作品經常使用建築手法,而非傳統藝術的技法。

This study for a sculptural installation in Bedford Square was commissioned in 1987 by Alvin Boyarsky on the occasion of an exhibition at the AA of drawings by the artist Mary Miss. Miss’s work recurrently directs how viewers move through and experience the landscape or interior space in which the work is placed. Her Bedford Square sculpture was a response to a closed, gated garden in the center of the square; Miss gave visitors an alternative stopping place to the locked green space. Drawn as an isometric rendering, a standard form of 3D architectural representation, this drawing recalls Miss’s installation works that similarly use methods more common to architecture than art.
