Text description provided by the architects. Project Background

该项目基地位于798艺术区的核心，目前是一个破旧的仓库，可以拆除重建。798今天正处于从艺术区向文化和商业旅游目的地的过渡。与普遍采用的798的内部重组方式相比，重建将利用这一契机重新审视艺术与商业之间的关系及其未来的发展趋势。这是我们如何着手这个项目的开始。

The project base is located at the core of the 798 Art Zone and is currently a dilapidated storehouse, which may be dismantled for reconstruction. 798 today is in a transition from an art zone to a cultural and commercial tourism destination. Compared with the normal internal restructuring manners prevalent at 798, the reconstruction will make use of the opportunity to reconsider relationship between art and commerce and their future trend. This is the start of how we set out on this project.

“798 3.0”/艺术与商业关系的再思考

“798 3.0” / Reconsideration of Relationship between Art and Commerce

我们使用“798 3.0”的概念来描述在798中展示的艺术和商业之间目前和未来的关系，旨在将商业空间/艺术空间整合到一个更具建设性的整体中，并相互加强。相互混合是主要思想，而相互支持是秩序。在私人资本的参与/支持和运作下，公司合并将以一种整体的方式进行，在此基础上，合并后的关系将是一个整体关系，既是一个概念，也是一个实际结构。

We use the concept of “798 3.0” to describe the current and future relationship demonstrated at 798 between art and commerce, which intends to incorporate commercial space/artistic space to a more constructive whole with mutual enhancement. Mutual hybrid is the main idea while mutual support is the order. With involvement/support and operation of private capital, the incorporation will be in an integral manner based on which the incorporated relationship will be an integral one both as a concept and as an actual structure.

空心树结构

Hollow Tree Structure

在本项目中，结构关系将是一种空心树结构。空心定义了内部和外部的关系，它不仅建立在结构之间，也建立在结构内部，允许光/视/空气同时在结构内外流动。里面是艺术的，而外面是商业的。从结构角度看，艺术支持商业；从运作角度看，商业支持艺术。这是“798 3.0”概念的核心原则。

In this project, the structural relationship will be a kind of hollow tree structure. Being hollow defines internal and external relationship, which is built up not only between the structures but also inside the structure, allowing light/vision/air to flow simultaneously inside and outside the structure. Inside is artistic, while outside is commercial. From the structural perspective, art supports commerce; from the operational perspective, commerce supports art. This is the core principle of the “798 3.0” concept.

作为分段存在的高程

Elevation as a Sectional Existence

高程上的异常孔洞是分支光柱体从内向空间边界延伸的自然表现。从本质上说，高程更像是一个分段的存在。从整体上看，立面与周围环境以不同的方式通过对比架共存。

The abnormal hole on the elevation is a natural expression of branch light cylinder extending from inside to spatial boundary. Essentially, the elevation is more like a sectional being. Seen from the whole image, the elevation co-exists in a diversified manner with the surrounding environment through a contrasting stand.

结构/功能/空间-不再相互独立，而是形成一个关系场

Structure/Function/Space – No Longer Independent from Each Other but Forming a Field of Relationship

钢结构在施工中的使用，不仅尽可能减轻了树状结构的影响，而且使其更加透明，使得水平层和垂直层不再相互独立，相互交织，积累了透明度，形成了一个多层叠加的网络空间系统。人们开始不愿意看到内部或外部空间，他们对结构的感知不再是对物质的僵化或固着，而是多层叠加和大气的透明性。这种结构将不再单独地看到独立的物体，而是形成一个空间的关系场。

The use of steel structure in construction not only lightens as much as possible the tree structure but also makes it transparent, where horizontal and vertical layers are no longer independent but entangle with each other accumulating transparency and resulting in a network space system of multi-layer superposition. People begin to be reluctant of internal or external space and their perception of structure will no longer be rigid or solid of matter but multiple-layer superposition and transparency of atmosphere. The structure will no longer see individually independent objects but forms a spatial field of relationship.

在结构关系领域，空间跨度被划分为不同的尺度，试图在内部整合各种人类活动和应用方式。结构方式不是由多样化的功能决定的，而是由整体的结构方式决定的。从这个意义上说，空间应用的方式是寻找和论证各种潜能，而不是一个地加以定义或执行，或者换句话说，它是关于功能势的设计，而不是具有明确定义的功能的超越设计。

In the relationship field of structure, spatial spans are divided into different scales in an attempt to integrate internally various human activities and application manners. Not the diversified functionalities will determine structuring manners but the integral structuring manners will pack diversified functionalities. In this sense, the manner of space application means to find and demonstrate various potentials not to be defined or executed one by one correspondingly transcendently, or in another word, it is design about functional potentials not transcendent design with clearly-defined functionalities.

作为活动场所的屋顶

Roof as a Place of Events

树形结构的光圆柱体延伸到屋顶上，转化为不同家具尺度的户外桌椅，它们之间和谐多样的距离为收集活动提供了空间质量场所，并与邻近的工厂和城市背景形成了鲜明的空间对比。

The light cylinder of the tree structure extends upon the roof and is transformed to outdoor desks and chairs of different furniture scales, the harmoniously diversified distances among which provides spatial places of quality to gathering event activities and dramatic spatial contrast to adjacent industrial plants and urban background.

临时建筑的未来潜力

Future Potential of Temporary Construction

在当代中国的实际情况下，这类建筑只能获得临时建筑的身份，只有在有限的时间内才能达到实际的合法性。在设计方面，我们从一开始就考虑到这种不确定性，以应付未来无法预见到798的可能变化。因此，钢结构的组装是施工中的一种必然选择，并成为最终的理想选择，因为这种方式在我国并不流行，但可以在其他地方进行改造。同样由于这个原因，建筑本身也表现出不完全依赖周围环境的具体表现。更重要的是，这是一次自我完善的尝试，希望能进一步研究和持续发展。

In the real conditions of contemporary China, this type of construction may only acquire an identity of temporary building, which may achieve actual legitimacy only within a limited time period. As to designing, we take this uncertainty into account from the very beginning to cope with possible changes unforeseeable to 798 in the future. Therefore, assembly of steel structure is a certain choice in construction and becomes the final ideal choice as this allows reconstruction at another place though this way of construction is not popular in China. Also due to this reason, the construction itself displays a concrete expression of not totally relying on surrounding environment. More importantly it is an original attempt of self-improvement, which we hope to further research on and develop sustainably.
