架构师提供的文本描述。盒子里的机器

Text description provided by the architects. MACHINE IN A BOX

在为位于底特律的日产设计公司(NissanDesignAmerica)建立了一个新的设计设施之后，卢斯·埃特工作室(Luce Et Studio)已经完成了他们的第三份工作。虽然和其他的比较小，但这5，000平方米。FT建筑已经产生了同样令人印象深刻的结果，达到了客户最高的设计和成本意识标准。在与日产设计美国公司合作的过程中。

After having created a new design facility for Nissan Design America in Detroit + a revamp of the La Jolla based studio, LUCE et Studio has now completed their third commission. Though relatively small compared with the others, this 5,000 sq. ft building has produced an equally impressive result meeting the highest design and cost conscious standards of the client.  In the process of collaborating with Nissan Design America & their model realization group, LUCE observed firsthand the operation of the highly advanced 5 axis milling machine. Together LUCE and Nissan discussed a simple approach for creating a building to house the mill; independent of the other design functions at the studio. A mandate; the building ought to hint to the technology within.

机器箱

 BOX for a MACHINE

这台机器由于忙于用粘土雕刻形状而具有人格化的特性。需要24小时以上才能雕刻出一辆全尺寸的汽车。这座建筑应该很简单，是这个令人惊叹的过程的背景。为机器造房子的预算很小。目标是崇高的。时间很短。我们决定，这将是一个相关的演习，以建设预制工业要素，而裹尸布可以是一些虚幻，表现力和定制(没有那么不同的底盘车身的汽车)。这台机器能制造出自己的“皮”吗？这是如何选择继续….快点.

The machine has anthropomorphic qualities as it busily works to carve form out of clay. It takes upwards of 24 hours to sculpt a full size vehicle. The building should be simple; a backdrop to this amazing process. The budget for making a house for a machine was small. The goals were lofty. The timeline was short. We determined that it would be a relevant exercise to make the building of pre-fabricated industrial elements , while the shroud could be something ethereal, expressive and customized (not so different from the chassis|body of a car). Could the machine fabricate its own ‘skin’. This is how chose to proceed….quickly.

 READ A BOOK BY ITS COVER

汽车设计师在校园里接近这座新建筑，知道他们的想法会在一个盒子里实现，这是一个创造性的提醒，里面有创新的可能性。艺术家唐纳德？贾德将盒子的功利性造型提升到全球文化的显赫地位，他认为盒子实际上可以是渲染…的最复杂的物体之一。“毕竟，他们有8个角落！”在这种情况下，在日产的一次简单练习的结果是一个巧妙表达的例子；成本效益高，时间效率高，功能极强，但对那些每天与它一起生活的人来说很有诱惑力。

Automotive designers approach this new building on campus knowing that their ideas will be brought to fruition within a BOX standing as a creative reminder of the innovative possibilities housed within. Artist Donald Judd, who elevated the utilitarian shape of a box to global cultural prominence, believed that in fact, boxes can be some of the most complicated objects to render….”after all, they have 8 corners!” In this case, the result of a simple exercise at Nissan is an example of an artful expression; cost effective, time efficient, extremely functional and yet alluring to those who live with it daily.
