倫敦盆景樹屋展即日起至 8 月底，打造出充滿童趣與建築思維的綠色療癒空間
英國「建築博物館」 (Museum of Architecture) 推出的最新活動「盆景樹屋 (Bonsai Treehouses)」展覽，即日起至 2026 年 8 月 31 日，於倫敦 Connaught Village 附近的一座小型公園盛大開展；展覽結合了迷人的微型建築、療癒的綠色空間以及適合全年齡的創意工作坊，是躲避倫敦夏季熱浪的絕佳去處。
.
展場設置在 Connaught Street 與 Albion
Street 轉角處安靜的 Oxford Square 公園內。一座座精緻的迷你樹屋與經過多年修剪的盆景樹共同安置在展示台上，為這座居民公園注入充滿活力的清爽氣息。
.
策展人梅麗莎·沃爾福德 (Melissa Woolford) 表示，計畫發想是來源自幾年前關於巨型樹屋的構想，最終演變成今日呈現的多款迷你版本。
.
展覽邀請了包括 Foster + Partners、Haptic Architects、White Arkitekter 等英國知名建築團隊，以及 EcoLogic Studio、McCloy + Muchemwa、Macro Micro Architects 等新銳設計團隊參與。
.
展覽特色在於建築師必須針對「特定的盆景」進行設計，而非憑空構思。例如 Foster + Partners 就從菌根真菌 (mycorrhizal fungi) 網絡尋找靈感，呈現樹木在森林底層彼此支持的靜謐連結。能實現這項挑戰，全歸功於 Saruyama Bonsai 創辦人彼得·沃倫 (Peter Warren) 的專業協助。他從個人收藏中挑選出多年培育、個性迥異的盆景，讓建築師們進行創作對話。
..
展覽期間還會舉辦一系列創意工作坊，包含樹屋製作、樹屋園藝，以及由彼得·沃倫親自指導的盆景大師課程。這些課程讓參觀者除了欣賞建築模型，也能親身體驗建築模型製作與盆景栽培的深奧魅力。

大家去過倫敦的 Connaught Village 嗎？這裡剛剛開了一個超級可愛的「盆景樹屋 (Bonsai Treehouses)」展覽，即日起到 8 月 31 日都能看到！
博物館找來 Foster + Partners 跟 White Arkitekter 等知名建築所，讓他們針對一棵棵特定的盆景設計專屬的迷你樹屋。每座模型都跟樹木完美結合，有的靈感來自菌根網絡，有的則是充滿童話感的探險屋。
展場就在牛津廣場 (Oxford Square) 的公園裡，綠意盎然超涼快。除了可以近距離欣賞超精細的建築模型，現場還有樹屋製作跟盆景大師班可以報名。這個週末如果剛好在倫敦，一定要去感受一下這個微型建築世界的魅力！
The Museum of Architecture's newest activity, a bonsai treehouse exhibition set in a leafy central London park, has something for everyone. There is delightful miniature architecture, reminiscent of a fun, adventurous dollhouse; green spaces to elevate the soul and provide some cool shade; and workshops for visitors of all ages, to both explore architectural model making and concepts, and bonsai tree growing. Opening this weekend (4 July – 31 August 2026), the show is the perfect antidote to the UK capital's current hot summer spell.
The display is arranged at the heart of a small park, a green square in a quiet corner off Connaught Village. The mini treehouses and their plant pairings are set on plinths, offering a breath of fun and fresh air to the lovely, traditionally laid out residents' patch.
It all started with an idea the Museum of Architecture was working on a few years back, centred on a giant treehouse. The idea soon evolved into a miniature version, and indeed, not one but many, the institution's director Melissa Woolford explains.
'The range of practices joining “Bonsai Treehouses” this summer is really exciting – from some of the most established names in architecture to brilliant younger studios, every one of them has embraced our brief. Each bonsai in the collection is unique, and we asked every architect to respond to that individuality: to design for the specific tree in front of them, not for a treehouse in the abstract. The results are surprising, thought-provoking, and genuinely fun to discover.'
Architectural participants include larger and established studios such as Foster + Partners, Haptic Architects and White Arkitekter as well as boutique and more emerging ones – among them EcoLogic Studio, McCloy + Muchemwa and Macro Micro Architects.
The variety in approaches to the treehouse designs is also wide and entertaining. Each practice was given a bonsai tree to work with, and Foster + Partners, for example, found inspiration in mycorrhizal fungi – 'the buried networks through which trees quietly sustain one another across a forest floor', they explain.
Nothing could have materialised, however, without the help of Peter Warren, founder of Saruyama Bonsai, who collaborated with Woolford and the architects and brought his valuable expertise in bonsai-growing to the table.

He said: 'I have brought trees from my own collection to this exhibition – each one shaped over many years, and every one with its own character. I was very curious to see which trees would be chosen, and how each architect would respond to the particular form in front of them. I hope visitors will be delighted by the pairing of tree and miniature built structure.'
The exhibition will be complemented by a programme of creative workshops for all ages. Offerings will include treehouse making, treehouse gardening, and a bonsai masterclass with Peter Warren himself.
Bonsai Treehouses Exhibition is on 4 July to 31 August, 9am-6pm, Oxford Square, a short walk from Connaught Village at Connaught Street and Albion Street.
