该房间是一家电影制作工作室，位于纽约市的Technicolor设施内。该工作室为电影、纪录片和电视提供服务，包括三个单独运作的编辑套房、一个共用的接待区和会议空间。该房间的设计旨在创造一个独特的工作环境，以适应其用户的具体需要和工作习惯，同时提高审美体验和功能-技术性能的演播室。

The Room is a film finishing studio housed within Technicolor facilities in New York City. Servicing films, documentaries and television, the studio includes three separately operated editing suites, a shared reception area and meeting spaces. The design of The Room aimed to create a unique work environment tailored to the specific needs and working habits of its users, while enhancing both the aesthetic experience and the functional - technical performance of the studio.

工作室的新设计创造了一个双重的空间条件：一方面是孤立和独立的编辑套件，另一方面是共享的开放的“公共”空间。编辑版面看起来像独立的站立对象，独立的“他们自己的世界”，抽象的立方体设置在一个更大的阁楼一样的运动和互动空间中。从声学和视觉上来说，每个套房都与其他房间隔离，并采用双层墙-地板-天花板结构进行隔热：在内部和外部信封之间设有空气和声学板的双信封系统。虽然室内围护的设计是为了吸收声音和光，它的外部是相反的-反射光和声音回到更大的公共空间。与背面油漆玻璃，这些表面创造了强烈的视觉效果反射图像和一种透明度的错觉。套间建筑的沉重和不透明与轻盈和非物质化的概念形成了鲜明的对比。

The new design of the studio created a two-fold spatial condition: isolated and separate editing suites on the one hand and a shared open ‘common’ space on the other. The editing suites appear as free standing objects, independent ‘worlds of their own,’ abstract cubes set within a larger loft-like space of movement and interaction. Acoustically and visually sealed, each suite is physically separated from the others and insulated by a double wall –floor-ceiling construction: a double envelope system with air and acoustic boards in between the interior and exterior envelop. While the interior envelope of the suite is designed to absorb sound and light, its exterior does the opposite –reflect light and sound back onto the larger common space. Cladded with back painted glass these exterior surfaces create a strong visual effect of reflecting images and an illusion of transparency. The heaviness and opacity of the suites physical construction is thus contrasted by a notion of lightness and dematerialization.

剧中的反差进一步塑造了参观和在工作室工作的经验。强化后的套房内部环境，消除了外界的干扰，使人们对屏幕的注意力充分集中。暴露的、开放的、自然照明的“外”阁楼空间满足了这一要求，并与一系列大窗户对齐，使城市更接近它。在单独的工作室‘内部’和‘外部’成为两种截然不同的经验对比空间，在它们之间的运动提供了一种再生和解脱的感觉。此外，“外部”公共阁楼空间被设计成黑白-一个单色的灰色调色板，创造了一个中性的中断，一个视觉退却从集中的色彩编辑在套房内完成。这些空间之间的过渡以宽阈值为标志，这提高了离开阁楼空间和进入另一个“数字制作空间”的意识，进入在虚拟空间中构建现实的电影世界。

The play of contrast further shapes the experience of visiting and working in the studio. The enhanced interior condition of the suites, that eliminates external distractions to allow full attention on the screen, is met by the exposed, open and naturally lit ‘outer’ loft space, aligned with a series of large windows which brings the city closer into it. Within the single studio ‘inside’ and ‘outside’ become two distinct experiences of contrasting spaces, where the movement between them provides a sense of regeneration and relief. Furthermore the ‘outside’ common loft space is designed in black and white - a monochromatic palette of grays, creating a neutral break, a visual retreat from the focused color editing done within the suites. The transition between these spaces is marked by wide thresholds, which heighten the awareness of leaving the loft space and entering into the other ‘space of digital production’, into the world of film where realities are being constructed in virtual space.

编辑、着色师、视觉特效艺术家、制片人、导演和电影制作者在这些空间里连续花费数小时，不断地完善一个项目的美学，专注于色彩、声音和图像的微调。该设计充分支持了将注意力集中在编辑工作上的能力，同时也将对工作室的访问转化为一种审美体验，从而增强和表达正在制作的作品。

Editors, colorists, visual effects artists, producers, directors, and film makers spend hours on end in these spaces, continuously refining the aesthetics of a project, concentrating on colors, sounds, and fine tuning of images. The design fully supports the ability to focus attention on the editing work, yet also transforms the visit to the studio into an aesthetic experience which both enhances and expresses the work being produced.
