架构师提供的文本描述。白兔画廊是世界上最大和最重要的当代中国艺术收藏品之一。画廊展示了中国当代艺术运动中许多“大人物”的永久收藏，同时允许参观者通过各种媒体发现来自中国的年轻、新兴艺术家的作品。

Text description provided by the architects. The White Rabbit Gallery houses one of the world’s largest and most significant collections of contemporary Chinese art. The gallery displays a permanent collection of many of the ‘big names’ in the contemporary Chinese art movement while allowing visitors to discover the work of younger, emerging artists from China across a variety of media.

该项目包括改造一座大型独立砖房，在市中心奇本代尔增设一个屋顶层，以容纳四层画廊空间、茶馆、数字媒体剧院、接待处、工作人员停车场和一间艺术家居住的工作室。

The project involved the conversion of a large freestanding brick warehouse with an additional rooftop level in inner-city Chippendale to accommodate four floors of gallery space, a tea-house, digital media theatrette, reception, staff car parking and an artist-in-residence studio.

在悉尼唐人街和中央火车站附近，奇本代尔的特色是其世纪之交的砖块仓库，这些仓库近年来有艺术家的工作室、画廊和各种创意产业的工作场所；这个地区目前正在进行大规模的城市重建。前卡尔顿联合酿酒厂(CUB)毗邻画廊遗址，计划成为悉尼已知的最大的城市重建用地之一。白兔画廊将为幼崽的发展和内部城区的再生做出重要的文化贡献。

Close to Sydney’s Chinatown and Central Railway Station, Chippendale is characterised by its turn-of-the-century brick warehouses that in recent years have housed artists’ studios, galleries and the workplaces for various creative industries; an area that is currently undergoing large-scale urban redevelopment. The former Carlton United Brewery (CUB) adjacent to the gallery site, is planned to be one of the largest urban redevelopment sites that Sydney has known. The cultural contribution the White Rabbit Gallery will make to the CUB development and the regeneration of this inner-city precinct is significant.

工业仓库的原始和纹理砖壳被补充到脆，现代的改动，以创造一个令人兴奋的画廊体验和强大的背景为惊人的艺术品收藏。一座三层高的雕塑大厅提供了在收藏品中展示特定雕塑作品的功能，并将自然光的戏剧性发挥带到建筑物最深处。

The raw and textured brick shell of the industrial warehouse is complimented by the crisp, modern alterations to create an invigorating gallery experience and a robust backdrop for the striking artwork collection. A three-storey sculpture hall provides for the display of specific sculptural works in the collection and brings the dramatic play of natural light into the deepest parts of the building. 

荧光灯管被纳入雕塑窗口盒，取代铝仓库窗户，成为现代白色安装元素，将阳光透过建筑物的皮肤。一个新的，平的，白色的屋顶在建筑物的护栏上航行，盖住原来的建筑，标志着悉尼市中心这个特殊的新的文化地方。

Fluorescent light tubes are incorporated within sculptural window boxes that replace the aluminium warehouse windows, becoming modern white installation elements that diffuse sunlight through the skin of the building. A new, flat, white roof sails over the building parapet to cap the original structure and mark this special new cultural place in Sydney’s inner city.
