架构师提供的文本描述。E6·Bentu One位于北京胶印厂原厂址，是11m×14m矩形地下空间的内部改造工程。E6·Bentu One是BNETU和Urbanus的联合项目，一个交叉品牌专注于材料实验，一个建筑机构以中国当代城市现实为重点，计划成为一个能够举办各种文化活动的空间。

Text description provided by the architects. Located in the former site of Beijing offset printing factory, E6 · Bentu One is an interior renovation project of a rectangular underground space of 11m×14m. E6 · Bentu One is a joint project of BNETU and URBANUS, a cross-over brand focuses on material experiments and an architectural institution focuses on contemporary urban reality in China, and is planed to be a space that can host various kind of cultural activities.

立柱结构的网格系统占据了场地的中心，阻碍了空间流动。由于举办活动或活动需要开放的空间，如何在重新设计栏目结构之前减少空间的体积成为需要解决的首要问题。设计师们后来受到连接入口和地下空间的白色钢楼梯的启发，这种飘浮的轻盈感在某种程度上反映了极简主义艺术家索尔·勒维特(Sol LeWitt，1928-2007)的作品。

There was a grid-system of the column structure occupying the center of the site and obstructing spatial flow. As hosting activities or events requires open space, how to reduce the volume of the Space Before redesign column structure became the first problem to solve. Designers were later inspired by the white steel staircase connecting the entrance with underground space, such floating sense of lightness somehow reflects the works by minimalist artist Sol LeWitt (1928-2007).

极小主义反对抽象表现主义。作为材料性质的挖掘，简约主义与一系列具体产品Bentu设计背后的理念一致，它具有一个启发性的气质，它有一个空间来进行文化活动的真正需要。

Minimalism comes against abstract expressionism. As the excavation of the very nature of materials, minimalism coincides with the idea behind a series of concrete products BENTU designs, which possesses an enlightening temperament that a space to undertake cultural activities really need.

空间以3米高的清水混凝土板围起来，给人一种平静的感觉，由IV(开放式几何结构IV，1990)控制垂直尺度，活动区明确界定。地板和可移动的混凝土模架在同一颜色下统一，而柱、墙、天花板、梁和墙之间的每个连接部分都涂成白色。这种方法从空间感觉的角度来定义建筑，而不是从建构逻辑的角度来定义建筑，因为均匀的色调模糊了边界，驱散了柱的强烈存在。

The space is enclosed by fair-faced concrete slabs of 3 meters in height, giving a sense of calm, and by IV（Open geometric structure IV , 1990） controlling the vertical scale, activity area is clearly defined. Floor and movable concrete module stands are unified under the same color, while each connecting part between columns, walls, ceiling, beams and walls was painted into white. This approach defines architecture from the perspective of spatial feeling instead of constructional logic, as the uniform hue blurs the boundary and dispels the strong existence of columns.

矩形混凝土杆垂直于四分之一短边，将服务区与活动区分开，上面的细长混凝土吊灯形成倒立柱，再次强调空间变化。

The rectangular concrete bar is perpendicular to a quarter of a short side, dividing the service area from activity area; the slender concrete pendant lamps hanging in line above form an inverted colonnade and once again emphasize the spatial change.

在活动区，两种尺寸的组合式混凝土支架嵌入方形木柜，安装了小轮，便于混合和匹配不同类型的活动。它们可以分散放置在一个开放和自由的空间，也可以放置在混凝土柱周围，以在空间中提供连续的线索，丰富空间体验。

In activity area, the modular concrete stands of two sizes are embedded with square wooden cabinets and convenient to mix and match for different types of events with the small wheels installed. They can be disperse placed for a open and free space or placed around the concrete columns to string the continuous clues in space and enrich spatial experience.

混凝土立方体。与模块化的混凝土立场相匹配，通过尊重唐纳德·贾德(1928-1994)暗示极简主义的背景。立方体有多种用途，包括凳子、墙面或展台，甚至有金属腿组装的侧桌，以便在有限但不受限制的活动空间中与人建立互动关系。

The concrete cubes. in match with the modular concrete stands, hint at the context of minimalism by paying respect to Donald Judd (1928-1994). There are multiple usages of the cubes, including stools, walls or stands for display, even side table with metal legs assembled, so as to create an interactive relationship with people in the limited but unconstrained activity space.

考虑到地下空间照明条件差，保留拐角处的光线，引入阳光。白面混凝土的光色调和白色油漆天花板已经恢复了这一视觉压抑的空间，同时，锐利的阴影留下的自然光在公平的脸混凝土加上令人印象深刻的视觉细节。

Considering the poor lighting condition in underground space, light well in the corner is retained to bring in sunlight. The fair-faced concrete of light tone and the white painted ceiling have revived this visually depressed space, meanwhile, the sharp shadow left by the natural light on the fair-faced concrete adds up impressive visual detail.
