架构师提供的文本描述。新的EMG上海设计中心(SDI)位于上海北郊上海汽车公司的一座6层工业建筑的底层北侧，占地40米，长7.5米。人们很难将这些单调乏味的排屋与其目前的名称“工业设计中心”联系起来。新的空间可能性出现在现有的墙体结构中。建筑师在这里介绍了新旧之间的自然对话，虚拟与真实之间的自然对话，在沉闷的空间中充满了情感和多义，并允许自由的漫游和空间中的思想。最后，所有这些都是通过一个大的橱窗展示寡妇展示给外部的，这个展览覆盖了装修后的空间的正面。

Text description provided by the architects. The new EMG Shanghai Design Centre (SDI) occupies a 40-metre-long, 7.5-metre-deep long rectangular space in the north side of the ground floor of a 6-floor industrial building belong to Shanghai Automobile Corporation in north suburb of Shanghai. One could hardly associate the tedious row buildings to their current name “industrial design centre”. New spatial possibility came within the existing walled structure. The architect introduced here a natural conversation between old and new, between virtual and real, filling in the dreary space with emotions and polysemia, and allowing free wanders and thoughts in the space. And, eventually, all these are being displayed to the exterior through a large glazing show widow, which covers the renovated facade of the space.

SDI的实际功能由两部分组成：底层的公共陈列室和层间的私人办公室。展厅是一个6米高，30米长的展厅，由大的展示窗口展示，外加楼层间办公室的接待酒吧区域。在公共区域和私人区域之间设置了一堵坚实的曲线黑色墙，将两者分开，但同时也将两者交织在一起。当它到达酒吧区域时，它的上部向外弯曲，形成一个悬挂在起居室上方的会议室，可从酒吧和办公室到达。曲线墙的表面不断膨胀，雕刻了几张展台，给展览空间注入了活力。面对黑色的实心墙是一个曲线软光窗帘，由413个半透明的PVC管组成，缠绕在玻璃正面旁边，无意中形成了两个吸引外人的展示厅。“实与空”、“黑与白”、“活生生”与“静态”的对话，在中立的灰景背景下上演了一出戏剧。自然石材艺术品的颜色和质地为展览提供了最终的高色调。

The practical function of SDI is composed of two zones – the public showroom on the ground floor and the private office on the inter-floor. The showroom is a 6-metre-high, 30-metre-long exhibition hall, which is showed off by the large show window, plus a reception bar area under the inter-floor office. A solid curve black wall is set between the public and the private zones, separating but as well interweaving the two. Its upper part curves outward when it reach the bar area, and forms a meeting room hanging above the sitting area, accessible both from the bar and the office. The surface of the curve wall swells in and out, sculpturing several show desks and giving dynamics to the exhibition space. Confronting the black solid wall is a curve soft light curtain, made up form 413 translucent PVC tubes, winding next to the glazing facade and inadvertently forming two showcases appealing to the outsiders. The dialogue between solid and void, between black and white and between active and static plays a drama within the neutral grey scenery background. Colors and textures of natural stone artworks sing the ultimate high tone for the show.

一层平面图

立面上略高的展示窗口再次显示了站点内大街上一个有意义的场景。玻璃幕墙看起来像一面大镜子，投射在阳光下的周围，变形的图画变成一幅特殊的画挂在建筑物上；当天黑时，镜子变成透明的橱窗，向观众展示室内场景和活动。

The slightly elevated show window on the facade displays again a meaningful scene in the inner street of the site. The glazing facade appears like a large mirror projecting the surrounding under the sun, and the deformed picture becomes a special painting hung on the building; while when it is getting dark, the mirror shift to a transparent showcase, showcasing the interior scene and activity to the audients.
