架构师提供的文本描述。位于北京的研究实习工作室Meta-Project在中国东北葫芦岛市的海滩上设计了一个展览中心，重新建立了文化活动与自然环境之间的关系。以前是一个渔村，周围的山丘保护着，一条河流流过中心，龙湾是东北-中国沿海田园诗的精髓所在。

Text description provided by the architects. META-Project, a Beijing based research-practice studio has designed an exhibit center on the beach of Huludao, northeast of China, a project which re-established the relationship between the cultural activities and it’s natural environment. Previous a fishing village protected by the surrounding hills, a river running though the center, the Dragon Bay is the essence of Northeast-Chinese coastal idyll.

然而，它仍然散落着渔船和渔网，现在它正面临着城市即将到来的发展：位于环渤海西岸，距北京仅3小时车程，它提供了一种自然资源，由于气候原因，在中国北部非常罕见-“海滩”，这吸引了来自北京和东北的数千万人来这里度过他们的夏天。作为海滩上的第一座建筑，Meta-Project的展览中心将使龙湾成为中国辽宁省的一个新的度假胜地和居住中心。

Yet still scattered with fishing boats and nets, now it is facing the city’s upcoming development: situated on the west coast of Bohai Sea rim, with only 3 hours of traffic from Beijing, the site offers a natural resource that is so rare across the north of china due to its climate – “the beach”, which attracts tens of millions of people from Beijing and Northeast-China to spend their summer here. As the first building on the beach, META-Project’s Exhibit Center will vitalize the Dragon Bay into a new resort and residential hub for the Liaoning Province of China.

展览中心的目的是为海湾地区建立一个共同的基地，这不仅吸引了预定的游客，而且吸引了公众的注意力，产生了更多的话题。在这片现时空荡荡的土地上，只有几个庞大的基建地盘，我们选择把这座建筑物设于公众泳滩活动区旁，距离水路100米，把建筑物设为“公众舞台”，把每一项活动都变成一场公开表演。因此，该中心包括展览空间，画廊，电影院，会议室，咖啡厅/酒吧，覆盖的活动空间，甚至在前面的海滩运动场，为游客提供各种活动的海湾。在提升他们的期望的同时，它也激活了整个城市的文化生活。

The Exhibit Center is about creating a common base for the bay area, that not only absorb the reserved visitors’, but also attract the public attention and generate more topics. In this currently deserted land, with only a few gigantic infrastructural construction sites, we choose to located the building next to the public beach activity zone – 100 meters from the waterline, so as to set the building as a “Public Stage”, turning each event into a public show. Thus, the center contains exhibition space, gallery, cinema, meeting rooms, café/bar, covered event space and even a beach-sport field in front, offering all sorts of activities for the visitors of the bay. While elevating their expectations, it also activates the cultural life of the entire city.

简化动力学

Simplified Dynamics

Meta-Project的设计是一个相当清晰的演绎过程，而不是一个广义的解决方案。全景海景对于建筑来说是最重要的，所以这一概念必须被消除和清除，从任何象征性的内容中清除，从而激发一个新的现实，从而增强海洋的体验。

META-Project’s design is rather a clear deduction process, than a generalized solution. The panoramic sea view is of prime importance for the building, so the concept had to be decongested and cleared, emptied of any symbolic content, so as to stimulate a new reality, which enhances the experience of the sea.

从多个层面体验海景成为了人们自己的需求，这一概念被扣除到一个关键部分：将建筑物的前2/3浮起来-为“舞台”创造一个悬臂地板，以吸引更多公众的注意，同时为户外活动提供一个有盖的空间；此外，一个屋顶上的观景甲板向整个环境开放。

Experiencing the sea horizon from multiple levels becomes the buibing’s own demand, such concept is deducted to a key section: to float the front 2/3 of the building – creating a cantilevered floor for the “stage” to catch more public attention, at the same time offering a covered space for outdoor event; and additionally, a roof-top viewing deck opening to the entire surroundings.

游客进入大楼，通过倾斜的楼梯-立方体高架到悬臂地板，然后完全被全景海景吞没，这种简化的断面动力学实际上控制着整个建筑，让空间体验围绕着不同的视图展开。

Visitors entering the building, elevated to the cantilevered floor through the inclinded stair-cube, then totally engulfed by the panoramic sea view, this simplified sectional dynamics is actually controlling the entire building, and to let the spatial experience unfold around the differnt level of views.

空间复杂性

Spatial Complexity

建筑物的主要体积是一个35米x 35米的浮箱，垂直于海岸，南侧的玻璃幕墙从地板到天花板，最大限度地实现了全景。现浇混凝土楼梯立方体连接着三个层次的循环，也是悬臂梁的结构支撑。它以25度的倾角直截了当地穿透浮箱.为了增加这一矛盾，150个随机孔穿过混凝土墙。

The main volume of the building is a floating box of 35m x 35m, perpendicular to the seashore, with floor to ceiling glass curtain on the south side maximizing the panoramic view. The cast-in-place concrete stair-cube, which links the three levels of circulation, also functions as the structural support for the cantilever. It bluntly penetrates the floating box with a 25-degree inclination. To augment this conflict, 150 random ecllips holes are perforated through the concrete wall.

在剪切对比中，悬臂另一侧的双层展厅完全透明，三面全高玻璃，使海滩景观最大化。它不是与浮动的盒子相撞，而是从它中划出一个空间。

In shear contrast, the double-hight exhibition space under the other side of the cantiliver is totally transparent, with full-height glass on 3 sides to maximize the beach view. It does not collide into the floating box, but rather carved out a space from it.

在这两个立方体之间，它被认为是计划的中心，它的聚集是出乎意料的空，允许光线投射到建筑物的后面，同时在空间的复杂性中增加了另一层自然。

Between the two cubes, where it supposed to be the center of the plan, the massing is unexpectedly empty, allowing light casting into the back of the building, at the same time adding another layer of nature into the complexity of space.

 elevations

其他节目包括底层接待所从北立面出来，钢会议室盒漂浮在地板和天花板之间，直线画廊和天桥连接模型空间和西方-每个程序形成一个明确的确定的体积，以一种几乎“未解决”的方式相互碰撞。这种“碰撞”导致了粗糙但至关重要的紧张关系，由此产生了一个意想不到的复杂空间。

Other program includes ground-floor reception bar portuding out of the north facade, steel meeting-room box floating between the floor and ceiling, linear gallery and sky-bridge linking the model space to the west - Each program forms a clear defined volume that collides with one another in an almost “unresolved” manner. Such “collision”lead to rough but vital tension, through which a space of unexpected complexity emerges.

建筑作为一个整体，是一个明确的演绎和规划-体积结合的结果。通过这种推测，Meta-Project尝试演示如何在简化的动态基础上催化空间复杂性，以及如何在基于商业的项目中解决公众的担忧。

The building as a whole is a result of the clear deduction and programatic-volumetric combination. Through this speculation, META-Project trys to demonstrate how to catalyze spatial complexity based upon a simplified dynamics, and how to address concerns for the public in a commercial-based project.
