架构师提供的文本描述。在一座建筑中定义一个完整的国家，尤其是像美国这样复杂和矛盾的国家，是一项令人望而生畏的任务。2015年米兰世博会的主题是“喂养地球，为生命提供能源”-整个世博会的主题是全球粮食安全问题和我们个人食物选择的影响。

Text description provided by the architects. Defining an entire nation in a single building, especially one as complex and contradictory as the US, is a daunting task. Expo Milano 2015 is themed “Feed the Planet, Energy for Life” – an entire Expo focused on the issues of global food security and the impacts of our personal food choices.

美国米兰世博会展馆展示了美国在食品未来中的独特作用，并举办了一场全球对话，讨论到2050年养活90多亿人口的挑战。“美国食品2.0：联合起来养活地球”，通过食品安全和政策、国际关系、科学和技术、营养与健康以及烹饪文化等主题，讲述了美国的食品故事-创新、多样性和创业精神。

The USA Pavilion for Expo Milano showcases America’s unique role in the future of food and hosts a global conversation about the challenge of feeding more than 9 billion people by 2050. “American Food 2.0: United to Feed the Planet,” tells America’s food story – one of innovation, diversity and entrepreneurship – through topics including food security and policy, international relations, science and technology, nutrition and health, and culinary culture.

展馆参与对话的方式是充当创意的脚手架，拥抱并展示一些非常美国式的杂音：模拟与数字、自然与技术、创新与再生。在非常长和狭窄的场地上，由异乎寻常的城市总体规划定义，展馆的边界是一个模拟墙(包括电梯、自动扶梯、楼梯、机械轴等)；一个纯粹的数字屋顶(在SPD SmartGlass中釉，立即从透明切换到不透明，以适应环境条件)；绿色垂直农场(在运动驱动的阵列中使用水压塔)；还有一条长廊从被打捞出来的康尼岛木板路上爬过展馆。

The pavilion participates in the conversation by acting as a scaffolding for ideas, and by embracing and displaying some very American hybridizations: analog and digital, natural and technological, innovative and recycled. On the extremely long and narrow site, defined by the unusually urbane masterplan, the pavilion is bounded by an analog wall (containing elevators, escalators, stairs, mechanical shafts, etc.); a purely digital roof (glazed in SPD SmartGlass that instantly switches from clear to opaque to respond to environmental conditions); a green Vertical Farm (employing hydroponic towers in a motion driven array); and a promenade rising through the pavilion made from salvaged Coney Island boardwalk.

不同于历史上的大多数展馆，特别是最近的美国展馆，美国食品2.0(AmericanFood2.0)是一种邀请进入一个可见的、透明的公开公共论坛的邀请。展馆的特点是开放、透明和无障碍。它由可持续的设计元素和无数的参考美国文化组成。展馆不像上一届世博会那样被迫通过固定的展览，而是有各种各样的体验：一个自我引导、灵活的空间，以及一个传统的线性展览。该建筑是一个“农业工业”启发结构，既包括简单的工业农业建筑和先进技术，在一个非常美国的对立面融合。

Unlike most pavilions historically, and recent US Pavilions in particular, American Food 2.0 is an invitation to enter a visible and transparent open public forum. The pavilion is characterized by openness, transparency, and accessibility. It is composed of sustainable design elements and with myriad references to American culture. Rather than a forced march through a fixed exhibition (as in the last Expo) the pavilion has a variety of experiences; a self-guided and flexible space, as well as a traditional linear exhibition. The building is a 'farm industrial' inspired structure embracing both simple, industrial agricultural architecture and advanced technology in a very American amalgam of opposites.

该建筑将在为期六个月的世博会上开放，届时将被拆除，并将按照国际博览会局的要求进行再利用和回收利用。这可能是可持续设计的矛盾之处，但据估计有2500万人会看到这是一种大胆的公共外交行为。

Open for the six month Expo, the building will then be dismantled and will be reused as well as recycled, as required by the International Bureau of Expositions. It may be an oxymoron of sustainable design, but is a bold act of public diplomacy to be seen by an estimated 25 million people.
