架构师提供的文本描述。英加利的新位置在一个院子里，周围是两层楼高的建筑。在院子墙和建筑物之间有一个盟友(28m*3-3.6米)。协约国是为了外部维修，房东在屋檐上加了一个屋顶，并在房顶两端各关了一扇门，以腾出更多的出租空间。

Text description provided by the architects. Ying Galley’s new location is inside a yard surrounded by two story buildings. Between the yard wall and the buildings there is an ally (28m * 3-3.6m). The ally was for outside maintenance, the landlord added a roof to it and closed it with a door at each end to yield more rental spaces.

曹昌迪是一个艺术区，附近有798家艺术工厂。混合工作室，画廊，商店和餐馆是在这里安置在一起的砖石建筑和轻钢玻璃加料的纹理。

Cao Chang Di is an art zone near 798 art factory. A mixture of studios, galleries, shops and restaurants is settled here in a combined texture of masonry buildings and light steel glass additions.

由于中国城市化进程的加快，位于曹昌迪等城市周边的艺术区正处于不断的转型之中。随着土地使用政策的改变，许多画廊和工作室不得不在几年内改变自己的空间，原因是房屋租金的增加或拆除。在这种情况下，工程造价限制在1000元/㎡左右。

The lease of the space is five years.  The art district located at city periphery such as Cao Chang Di is under constant transformation as a result of fast paced Chinese urbanization. Many galleries and studios have to change their spaces several years due to rental increase or demolition of buildings when land use policy changes. Under such conditions, the construction cost to be limited around 1000 RMB/㎡.

设计的目的是建立一个艺术和人之间互动的地方，一座连接艺术和生活的桥梁。画廊卷被带到街上，而不是留在院子里。由于堆场墙必须保持完整，它被夹在内墙和聚碳酸酯面板的外部层，这是重量轻和经济。为了提高其耐久性和达到预期的视觉质量，反光膜被应用于背面的聚碳酸酯面板，使前表面在距离上具有金属的外观。同样的面板继续进入院内画廊的其他外部表面，因此新的体积从现有的物理环境中增长，但也与之形成对比。

The design intended to make a place where art and people interact, a bridge that links art and life. Instead of remaining inside the yard, the gallery volume was brought out to the street. Since the yard wall must be kept intact, it was sandwiched with interior wall and an exterior layer of poly-carbonate panels that is lightweight and economical. To increase its durability and achieve the desired visual quality, reflective membrane was applied to poly-carbonate panels at back, giving the front surface a metallic look in distance. The same panels continue into other exterior surfaces of the gallery inside yard, so that a new volume grows out of the existing physical context yet also forms contrast to it.

由于在现有结构中增加高度的限制，仅允许屋面的一个长5米的截面抬高1.5m，这就决定了画廊的空间布局。展览空间由四间展厅组成，三间位于一楼3.6米高，另一间位于阁楼2.3m高。在阁楼下面，空间缩小为1米宽，2.4米高，以容纳墙壁上的几个壁龛，以吸引人们对陈列在墙上的小物品的注意。一个浴室，一个厨房，一个储藏室和一个楼梯被整合在一个紧凑型的功能区后面。

Due to restriction in adding height to existing structures, only a 5m long section of the roof was permitted to raise by 1.5m, which determined the spatial layout of the gallery. The exhibition space consists four show rooms, three at 3.6m high on the ground floor and one at 2.3m high on the mezzanine. Underneath the mezzanine the space narrows into 1m wide and 2.4m high to accommodate a few niches on the wall to draw people’s attention to small items displayed in it. A bathroom, a kitchen, a storage and a stair are integrated into a compacted functional zone behind.

一个完全高度的窗口面向街道是放置在阁楼的水平。窗户连接了街道和展览空间，提供了一个沉思的角落，并为下面的功能区带来了自然的光。

A full height window facing the street is placed on the mezzanine level. The window links the street and the exhibition space, provides a corner for contemplation and brings natural light into the functional zone underneath.

浴室作为最私人的室内空间，采用与外墙相同的聚碳酸酯面板，模糊内外边界。DIY吊灯是由30多个“花”手工制作的无纺布，过滤蓝光或红光进入空间。设计的目的是使营厨房像一朵花，虽然它可能是暂时的和短暂的，但它可能会散发出新鲜和活力，希望有助于一个更好的环境。

As the most private interior space, the bathroom is applied with the same poly-carbonate panel as that of the exterior wall to blur the boundary between inside and outside. The DIY ceiling lamp is composed of more than 30 “flowers” handmade from non woven fabrics, filtering blue or red light into the space. The design intended Ying galley to be like a flower, temporary and transient as it might be, however, to exude freshness and energy , in hope of contributing to a better surrounding.
