架构师提供的文本描述。中国木雕博物馆位于中国哈尔滨一个欣欣向荣的大都市中，全长200米，它的位置异常明显，似乎不太合适，四周环绕着一个人口稠密的中式社区和住宅区。博物馆体现了一些最重要的概念和形式上的理想，定义了疯狂的作品，将自然的表达和抽象带到了另一种平庸的环境中。在这座13，000平方米的建筑中，固体和液体之间的界限变得模糊不清，代表了当地的自然风光和景观。

Text description provided by the architects. Appearing so evident amidst a thriving metropolitan district of Harbin, China, spanning 200 meters in length, the China Wood Sculpture Museum sits as a locational anomaly, seemingly out of place, surrounded by a densely populated Chinese-style neighborhood and residential complexes. The museum embodies some of the foremost conceptual and formal ideals that define the work of MAD, bringing out an expression and abstraction of nature to an otherwise quotidian surrounding. The boundaries between solid and liquid are blurred throughout this 13,000 sqm building, referencing the local natural scenery and landscape.

建筑物的外部被抛光的钢板覆盖，反射周围的环境和不断变化的光线。坚固的墙壁确保了最小的热量损失，而正在出现的天窗的破碎和扭曲运动分裂了表面，并允许从中国北方的低悬挂太阳光线；这提供了足够的自然扩散照明到三个大厅的内部。

The building's exterior is covered by polished steel plates, mirroring the surroundings and the changing light. The solid walls ensure minimal heat loss while the breaking and twisting motion of the emerging skylights splits the surface and allows in light from the low-hanging sun of northern China; this provides sufficient natural diffused illumination to the three halls on the interior.

博物馆主要收藏当地的木雕和描绘地区风光冰雪的绘画。在大规模的现代城市背景下，博物馆本身就是对自然的一种新的诠释。博物馆与城市之间超现实的互动打破了城市外壳的沉闷，以新的文化特色振兴了周围的环境。

The museum mainly houses local wood sculptures as well as paintings depicting the ice and snow of the regional scenery. In the context of the large-scale modern urban setting, the museum itself serves as a new interpretation of nature. The surreal interaction between the museum and the city breaks through the tedium of the urban shell, revitalizing the surroundings with a new cultural feature.
