架构师提供的文本描述。一个老式宝马博物馆将于本月在中国北京开幕。跨越国界的画廊空间设计带来了汽车的排他性，同时也以当地的方式引用了中国收藏家的作品。

博物馆展览在三楼开始。游客进入一个诱人的、几乎两层高且明亮的区域，穿过接待区，那里的垂直表面带有水平照明条，以解释速度的运动，游客正被吸引到一个更低、更舒适的“过渡”休息室里。

The museum exhibition starts on the 3rd floor. Entering through an inviting, almost two floors high and bright area, passing the reception zone, whose vertical surfaces are accentuated with horizontal lighting strips interpreting the motion of speed, the visitor is being absorbed into a lower, more cozy “transitional” lounge.

透过一层红色的布料模仿一扇中国的大门，展览在后面拉开了帷幕。展区被细分为不同的区域，有不同的品质，有的展示，有的懒散。

Through layers of red fabric in the imitation of a Chinese gate, the exhibition opens up behind. The exhibition area is subdivided into different zones with diverse qualities, some of display and some of lounging.

白色，轻型和略透明的织物横幅悬挂在这层楼的开放式天花板上。虽然织物的垂直度将高天花板降低到了更人性化的程度，但大量白色的纺织表面表明了它的共性，而“中国红门”作为背景则传递着一种帝王的感觉。

White, light and slightly transparent fabric banners are hung from the open ceiling on this floor. While the fabric’s verticality reduces the high ceiling to a more human scale, the vast amount of white textile surfaces indicates generority and the “Chinese red gate” as backdrop transmits an imperial feeling.

中性的白色把重点放在这里的少数展览作品，强调他们的排他性。

The neutral white brings emphasis on the few exhibition pieces here, underlining their exclusiveness.

水平照明条继续进入主展区和信息墙，并在空间周边墙壁上提供多媒体演示用的综合屏幕。投影也可以被屏蔽在中间空间的织物横幅上，在展览作品周围提供座位区域。

The horizontal lighting strips continue into the main exhibition area and information walls, with integrated screens for multimedia presentations at the perimeter walls of the space. Projections can be also screened on to fabric banners in the middle of the space where seating areas are provided around the exhibition pieces.

4楼提供了一种不同的体验。游客走上独立楼梯的中央，进入4楼，到达两个长长的汽车展示平台的前面。有更多的汽车展示在这一层，这里的一个关键特点是汽车显示器。这个空间是由几个长平台构成的白色背漆玻璃表面与集成不锈钢条和边缘。类似于三楼，金属线模仿墙壁上的照明条，信息墙在空间的周长上重新出现。

The 4th floor offers a different experience. Walking up a centered freestanding staircase, the visitor accesses the 4th floor and arrives at the front of two long car display platforms. Having more cars to show on this floor, a key feature here is the car display. The space is structured by several long platforms out of white back painted glass surfaces with integrated stainless steel strips and edges. Similar to the 3rd floor, the metal lines mimic the lighting strips on the walls and the information walls reappear on the perimeter of the space.

不锈钢天花板反映了高架平台，使空间显得更高和更宽敞。这里还集成了汽车照明的特殊照明。同时，这些平台为游客提供了一条清晰的路线，让他们了解汽车的历史和更多的互动。

The ceiling of stainless steel mirrors the elevated platforms, allowing the space to appear higher and more spacious. The special lighting for illumination of the cars is also integrated here. Parallel to each other, the platforms offer the visitor a clear route through the history of cars and more interaction.

一个电影院，游戏室和一个展览展示较小的项目周围的体验。它们位于展区的尽头，自然光线指引你走向电梯。

A movie theater, game room and an exhibition display for smaller items round off the experience. They are located at the end of the exhibition area, where natural light leads you towards the elevators.
