Columbus, Indiana bills itself as ‘Unexpected, Unforgettable’. The slogan is fitting. This small town of approximately 50,000 people is the site of Exhibit Columbus – a biennial event that draws designers, architects and tourists from around the world. The exhibition highlights the role of design, art and vision in creating a vibrant and equitable urban environment through 18 site-responsive outdoor installations located throughout downtown.

哥伦布，印第安纳法案本身就是“意外的、令人难忘的”。标语是装配件的。这个小镇大约有50,000人是展示哥伦布的场所-从世界各地吸引设计师、建筑师和游客的两年期活动。该展览强调了设计、艺术和视觉在创造一个充满活力和公平的城市环境中的作用，通过18个现场响应性的户外设施，位于整个市中心。

The 2019 edition of Exhibit Columbus just launched with a two-day opening weekend focused on the theme ‘Good Design and the Community’. The 1986 exhibition ‘Good Design and the Community: Columbus Indiana’, created to commemorate the installation of Columbus business leader and philanthropist J. Irwin Miller into the National Building Hall of Fame in Washington, D.C. served as inspiration.

在2019版的展览中，哥伦布刚刚推出了为期两天的开放周末，专注于“好的设计和社区”主题。1986年的展览“好的设计和社区：哥伦布印第安纳”，是为了纪念哥伦布商业领袖和慈善家J.IrwinMiller在华盛顿特区的国家建筑大厅的安装，作为灵感。

‘Exhibit Columbus is more than an architectural biennial’, explained Richard McCoy, Executive Director of Landmark Columbus Foundation. ‘It is a chance for Columbus to bring its traditions and values into the global design dialogue. Design and community are central pillars of our collective identity, and it gives us tremendous pride to demonstrate how a shared investment in design can improve lives.’

哥伦布基金会(LandmarkColumbusFoundation)执行主任理查德·麦科伊(RichardMcCoy)解释说，“展示哥伦布不仅仅是一个建筑的两年期”。哥伦布将其传统和价值观带入全球设计对话是一次机会。设计和社区是我们集体认同的核心支柱，它给了我们巨大的自豪感，展示了在设计中的共享投资如何改善生活。”
