架构师提供的文本描述。创意联盟(CreativeAlliance)咖啡厅是前帕特森剧院(Patterson Theater)10年来重建为城市艺术中心和社区主播的最后一块。预算限制和实际将一间商业厨房、酒吧和餐厅安装到剩余的1300平方米的空间的挑战，已将该空间的建造推迟了近10年，成功的设计依赖于形式上的克制和对所有可能性的机会主义态度。

Text description provided by the architects. The Café at the Creative Alliance is the last piece of a 10-year redevelopment of the former Patterson Theater into an urban arts center and community anchor. Budget constraints and the challenge of actually fitting a commercial kitchen, bar and dining room into the remaining 1,300 sqf had delayed the build-out of the space for almost a decade and a successful design relied on formal restraint and an opportunistic attitude to all possibilities.

空间组织的基础是餐厅区，正式地与悬挂在原剧院主层之上的混凝土投影室(来自易燃赛珍珠膜的时代)相吻合。发现的表面、顶棚钢梁上的面板浇筑混凝土和建筑外墙的黑砖内部，提供了丰富的自然物质性。新材料的逻辑追求一种互补的物质性和与巴尔的摩调色板的主题联系。

The spatial organization is based on the dining area formally coinciding with the concrete projection room suspended above the main level of the original theater (from an era of flammable celluloid film). The found surfaces, board-cast concrete resting on steel beams of the ceiling and the blackened brick interior of the building facade, provided rich natural materiality. The logic for new materials pursued a complementary materiality and a thematic connection to an essential Baltimore palette.

棒材采用热轧钢板，反映现有结构钢和黑砖.它的白色大理石顶部照亮了它的顾客，让人想起了这座城市的大理石门廊。最后的墙壁，隐藏厨房和构成主要入口，被覆盖在从邻近的排屋回收地板龙骨。新咖啡厅提供展览、表演和展示当地艺术家才华的壁画。

The bar is clad in hot-rolled steel plate reflecting the existing structural steel and blackened brick. Its white marble top illuminates its patrons and recalls the city’s marble stoops. The end walls, which conceal the kitchen and form the main entry, are clad in reclaimed floor joist from neighboring row houses. The new Café accommodates exhibits, performances, and a mural showcasing the talent of local artists.
