架构师提供的文本描述。位于纽约布鲁克林的新的德瓦纳·斯莫尔伍德表演艺术中心是前职业舞蹈家德瓦纳·斯莫尔伍德和奥普拉·温弗瑞基金会的合作项目。为了庆祝幼儿时期的舞蹈学习，该中心致力于通过舞蹈教育建立信心，并为未来提供来自纽约布鲁克林贝德福德-斯图文森社区的新一代精英专业舞者。

Text description provided by the architects. The new Dwana Smallwood Performing Arts Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. is a collaboration between the former professional dancer, Dwana Smallwood, and the Oprah Winfrey Foundation. Celebrating the study of dance in early childhood, the center works to build confidence through dance education and provide the future with a new generation of elite professional dancers from the community of Bedford- Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, NY.

该中心是使用乔丹帕纳斯数字建筑设计的，这是一种以创造高影响环境而闻名的设计实践。在乔丹帕纳斯本人的帮助下，该中心能够接受艺术天赋和简单、优雅的设计，使舞者成为建筑的核心和灵感。

The center was designed using Jordan Parnass Digital Architecture, a design practice that is known for creating high-impact environments. With the help of Jordan Parnass himself, the center was able to embrace the artistic flair, and simple, elegant design that makes the dancers the centerpiece and inspiration for the building.

在与阿尔文·艾利美国舞蹈剧院合作，并在奥普拉·温弗瑞的南非女孩领导学院担任学生事务主任之后，德瓦纳·斯莫尔伍德决定创办自己的舞蹈艺术教育组织。为了把她的成功带回她的家乡社区，德瓦纳接受了奥普拉的热情和中心的直接支持，利用该组织为她的社区的需要服务。

After working with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre and serving as Director of Student Affairs at Oprah Winfrey's Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa, Dwana Smallwood decided to start her own educational organization dedicated to the art of dance. With the intention of bringing her success back to her hometown community, Dwana embraced Oprah's enthusiasm and the direct support from the center to use the organization to serve the needs of her community.

最初的设计过程包含了一系列的舞蹈研究，舞蹈者的舞蹈编排被用来通过内部空间的流动来激发直接的抽象。该中心的入口处展示了一个大胆的橙色天篷，它模仿着巨大的能量，当你走进入口楼梯时，一道涟漪的墙壁特征在通往楼上的道路上震动，那里有光线和通风的接待空间。在这里，涟漪消散成一个完整的天花板特征，优雅地打破暴露的工业天花板。借助一些吸声剂，它保持了空间明亮和好玩。

The initial design process incorporated a series of dance studies where the choreography of the dancers was used to inspire direct abstraction through the flow of space inside. The entrance to the center displays a bold orange awning that imitates the dramatic flair of energy and as you emerge into the entry stairway, a rippling wall feature vibrates along the path to the upstairs area where there is light and an airy reception space. Here, the ripples dissipate into a full ceiling feature that elegantly breaks up the exposed industrial ceiling. With the aid of some sound absorbency, it keeps the space bright and playful.

从这里，接待处打开了一个丰富多彩的图书馆，提供温暖的气氛和舒适的座位。建造了两间空旷通风的舞蹈室，地板铺有硬木，配有明亮的天窗和灵活的隔板，将两间舞厅结合在一起，形成一个大舞台。较大的舞蹈舞台在为社区演出时配备了黑色窗帘，这往往使不同社区群体的表演多样化的过渡更加顺畅。

From here, the reception opens up into a colorful library that provides a warm atmosphere and comfortable seating. Two open and airy dance studios with hardwood sprung floors have been constructed, complete with bright skylights and a flexible divide for the purpose of combining the two studios to form one large dance stage. The larger dance stage is fitted with blackout curtains for when its performance time for the community which often smooths the transition of the variety of performances by different community groups.

整个工业空间转变为一个创造性和充满活力的表演艺术中心，甚至超过了德瓦纳斯莫尔伍德的期望。该中心在社区内的介绍是通过一个包括各种舞蹈表演的开幕式来启动的。今天，这个中心是芭蕾舞迷们的家，也是贝德福德-斯图文森社区和其他地方的中心创意中心。

The overall transformation of this industrial space into a creative and dynamic center for performing arts has surpassed even Dwana Smallwood's expectations. The introduction of the center within the community was launched with an opening that incorporated various dance performances. Today, the center is home to girls in ballet slips and is a central creative hub for the Bedford-Stuyvesant community and beyond.

产品描述：客家泰马赛克瓷砖是为新的非营利组织客户在一个负担得起的规模上添加一个五颜六色的功能所不可或缺的。我们使用了创始人德瓦纳·斯莫尔伍德的抽象舞蹈运动，他是一位有成就的专业舞者和教育家，并将这一运动复制成一幅充满灵感的图形。在与白台的合作下，他们能够将我们的图像文件转换成我们卫生间和更衣室里的大墙镶嵌，每个房间都有一个适合中心舞蹈文化的不同颜色方案。

Product Description. The Hakatai mosaic tile was integral to adding a colorful feature at an affordable scale for the newly nonprofit client. We used abstracted dance movement by the founder, Dwana Smallwood, an accomplished professional dancer and educator, and replicated the movement into an inspired graphic. In collaboration with Hakatai, they were able to translate our image file into a large wall mosaic in our restrooms and locker rooms, each with a different color scheme that befits the dance culture of the center.
