架构师提供的文本描述。在阿达·洛夫莱斯诞辰200周年之际，我们开始设计科学博物馆的数学画廊，这是一个很好的巧合。阿达·洛夫莱斯是计算机和“诗意科学”史上的先驱女性。从一开始到完成，她对我们设计项目的方式所产生的鼓舞人心的影响，再怎么强调也不为过。正如她的“笔记”将分析引擎的抽象世界及其逻辑推陈出新一样，我们也希望数学画廊的设计能补充策展人的抱负，激发和吸引后代人学习数学的本能和物理方面。那些收藏在伦敦科学博物馆里的收藏品有助于让人类的头脑探索创新的许多方面。在画廊展出的新的一组物品精心策划，讲述在数学驱动下的创新中看似每天的时刻。

Text description provided by the architects. It is a wonderful coincidence that we started work designing the Science Museum’s Mathematics Gallery in the bicentennial year of the birth of Ada Lovelace, a pioneering woman in the history of computers and of ‘poetic science’. Her inspirational influence on our approach to the design of the project, from inception to completion, cannot be overstated. Just as her Notes unravelled the abstract world of the analytical engine and its logic to generations beyond, we hope the design of the Mathematics Gallery complements the curatorial ambitions to inspire and engage further generations with the instinctive and physical aspects of mathematics. Collections like those housed within the Science Museum in London are instrumental in allowing the human mind to explore the many dimensions of innovation. The new group of objects on display in the Gallery is meticulously curated to narrate seemingly everyday moments in innovation driven by mathematics.

 Design Concept

我们的画廊设计回应了大卫·鲁尼和他的团队提出数学不是作为一个学术概念，而是作为一种影响技术并使我们周围的环境得以改变的实践的雄心。在人类对自然和构建的世界的理解中，数学及其工具一直扮演着核心角色：例如，艾萨克·牛顿爵士推导万有引力定律的方法，亨利·庞加莱(Henri Poincaré)将笛卡尔几何学推广到行星系统，以及凯尔文勋爵利用曲线拟合的数学技术来预测潮汐。

Our design for the Gallery responds to the ambition of David Rooney and his team to present mathematics not as an academic concept, but as a practice that influences technology and enables the environment around us to be transformed. Mathematics and its tools have always played a central role in the evolution of the human understanding of nature and the constructed world: for example, Sir Isaac Newton’s methods to derive the laws of gravitation, Henri Poincaré’s extension of the Cartesian geometries to the planetary system and Lord Kelvin’s use of the mathematical technique of curve-fitting to predict the tides.

在建筑实践中，数学是计算基础和科学研究方法的基石之一。它以合理的结构原理为基础，对建筑的形状和形式(称为形态)及其起源产生了深远的影响。在这些环境中，加强设计中与建筑环境、制造和最终人们舒适航行有关的性能方面，构成了在这些基础上建设的一个组成部分。

Mathematics forms one of the cornerstones of the foundations of computing and of scientific methods of research within architectural practices. It has had a profound influence on architectural shapes and forms (known as morphology) and their origins, basing them on sound structural principles. The enhancement of the performative aspects of design with respect to the built environment, its manufacture and ultimately the comfortable navigation by people within these environments, forms an integral part of building on these foundations.

有了几何学方法的历史训练来理解形态学，建筑师们就能为这种协作努力做出贡献，提供信息丰富的环境，支持人类在构建环境中的复杂需求。我们自己的工作很大一部分来自于我们对数学逻辑和几何学的迷恋，设计技术的进步使我们能够重新思考形式和空间。由此产生的每个项目的流体表面和结构都是通过科学创新来确定的。我们为数学画廊的设计实现了这样的努力。

With historical training in geometric methods to understand morphology, architects are well positioned to contribute to this collaborative endeavour of delivering information-rich settings that support the complex needs of humans within the built environment. A large proportion of our own work emerges from our fascination with mathematical logic and geometry, with advances in design technology enabling us to rethink form and space. The fluid surfaces and structures of each project thus generated are defined by scientific innovations. Our design for the Mathematics Gallery realises such an effort.

汉德利·佩奇(Handley Page)飞机在1929年的古根海姆(Guggenheim)竞赛中成功飞行，起飞距离和着陆距离都很短，这标志着普通男性和女性获得航空服务的胜利时刻。展览馆的空间组织强调英国航空的这一重要产品，以及数学和科学的变革能力，从飞机飞行的关键时刻之一和所体现的空气动力学概念中汲取灵感。

The successful flight of the Handley Page aeroplane in the 1929 Guggenheim competition, with its short take-off and landing distances, represents a triumphal moment in the accessibility of aviation to ordinary men and women. The spatial organisation of the Gallery places a central emphasis on this important product of British aviation, and the transformational capacity of mathematics and science, by taking inspiration from one of the key moments in the flight of the plane and the concepts of aerodynamics embodied within.

虽然数学逻辑和几何可以提供直观的模型来理解自然世界，但计算工具允许我们检查能够对自然的机制进行微妙理解的场景。使用已知为计算流体动力学的数学方法的原理作为组织指南，图库的布局允许物理地表现出气流的虚拟线。100多个历史对象的定位和使用机器人制造的坚固的拱形长椅的生产都体现了简要的数学精神。由WintonGallery内的这些组件创建的结果空间体验使访问者能够看到数学与我们的生活接触的许多实际和可感知的方式中的一些。

While mathematical logic and geometry can provide an intuitive model to understand the natural world, computational tools allow us to examine scenarios that enable a nuanced understanding of the mechanisms of nature. Using the principles of a mathematical approach known as computational fluid dynamics which acts as an organisational guide, the layout of the Gallery allows for the virtual lines of airflow to be manifested physically. The positioning of the more than 100 historical objects, and the production of robust arch-like benches using robotic manufacture, all embody the mathematical spirit of the brief. The resulting spatial experience created by these components within the Winton Gallery enables visitors to see some of the many actual and perceivable ways in which mathematics touches our lives.
