设计希望尊重和保持原有建筑的特色，同时改善现代艺术画廊的功能布局，提升室内空间的质量。在对原建筑进行分析的基础上，本次改造的重点是创造多变的画廊参观体验。因此，开发了以下三种设计：

The design wishes to respect and maintain the features of the original building, while improving the functional layout of the modern art gallery, and upgrading the quality of the interior space. Based on the analysis of the original building, the focus of this renovation is to create changeful gallery visiting experience. Thus the following three designs are developed:

1.利用建筑外采暖管道的裂缝，建立一个中间空间，从而为画廊创造一个新的形象。使用生锈的金属网板形成一个“入”形状的结构，它看起来像一个漂浮在砖墙外面的空间。空间的一侧作为主入口和遮阳篷被折叠起来，另一边作为建筑物的内部楼梯建造。镜面玻璃幕墙反射街景，改变画廊的封闭印象，活跃内外视觉的接触。

1. Making use of the crack of the heating pipes outside the building to build an intermediary space and thus creates a new image for the gallery. Using the rusted metal mesh panels to form a “入”shape structure which looks like a space floating outside the brick walls .One side of the space is folded as the main entrance and awning, and the other side is built as internal stairs of the building. Mirror glass curtain wall reflects the street views, changing the closed impression of the gallery and enlivening the contacts of internal and external vision.

2.新的钢结构部分被添加到画廊，通过一座玻璃桥连接，从而形成了一个内部的“三维三合院”。展厅是一个纯白色的盒子，不同于粗糙的红砖外墙，预制板的自然质地仅部分保留在屋顶上。游人从内到外，上下层之间，经历了新旧过渡的差异和粗糙与平滑的比较。

2. New steel-structure parts were added to the gallery, which were connected by a glass bridge, in this way, an internal “three-dimensional triple house courtyard” was formed. The exhibition hall is a pure white box, which is different from the rough red brick exterior wall, and the natural texture of the precast slab was partly retained only on the roof. Visitors tour from the internal to the external and between upper floors and lower floors, experiencing the differences of transition from the old to the new and comparison between rough and smooth.

3.通过拆除原办公楼的地面和屋顶，为原来的低空间(清晰的高度2米)创造了一口“光井”。自然光穿过三楼和二楼的办公区，直接到达画廊，这一方面减少了低地板高度造成的压迫感，另一方面扩大了内部不同区域的能见度。

3. A “light well” was created for the original low space (clear height 2 meters ) through demolishing the floor and roof of the office area in the original building. Natural light gets through the 3rd and 2nd floor’s office area and reach directly to the gallery, which on the one hand reduces the sense of oppression results from the low floor height; and on the other hand broadens the visibility of different areas of the interior.
