1. 北京的每一条环线都是一个阶层的粗略划分。由权力与财富筑成的隐性围墙将北京划分为一块块固定的领地。其中的某些领地是大多数人一生也不可能进入的。每一领地都具有稳定的层级结构和复杂的编码。而设计就是一种绕过围墙、破解编码的手段。

　　Each ring road of Beijing is a rough division of social class. The invisible wall made up of power and wealth divides Beijing into pieces of fixed territories, some of which are inaccessible for majority of people in their whole life. Each territory has a stable hierarchical structure and complicated codes. Design is the way to overcome the obstacles and crack the code.

　　霍营地处于北京的“边缘”。作为参照的“三里屯”地区是北京的时尚及城市信息交流的中心之一。霍营到三里屯，距离25公里，开车需要一个半小时。但是我们认为，霍营的边缘与三里屯的中心相对存在。没有边缘就没有中心。我们在城市时空中设计出一个虫洞①使边缘与中心重叠。这个虫洞就是铁皮屋。

　　Huoying is located in the “margin” of Beijing. As the reference of it, Sanlitun area is the center of fashion and exchange of information in Beijing. It takes 1.5 hours to drive from Huoying to Sanlitun with the distance of 25 km. But we believe that the margin of Huoying correlates with the center of Sanlitun. There will be no center if there is no margin. We are designing a wormhole① in this spacetime to make the margin and the center overlapped. The wormhole is the Metal Hut.

　　①虫洞理论是爱因斯坦提出并由纳森·罗森完善的。虫洞就是连接两个遥远时空的多维空间隧道。

　　①Wormhole Theory is proposed by Einstein and perfected by Nathan Rosen. Wormhole is a multi-dimensional space tunnel connecting two distant spaces.

　　2.人们从工作到生活的心理转变，并不能像拨动开关一样迅速切换。即使回到家后可能仍未脱离工作状态。因此，我们将铁皮屋作成一个心理切换器。蹲坐是人类野餐时的本能姿势，这种“非正式”的用餐姿势，让人放松，进而拉近用餐者间的关系。蹲坐的视角，则给予用餐者看到平时忽视的“低维度”世界。

　　The psychological change from our work to life could not be instantly changed like a switch. We may still continue to work after returning home. Therefore, we take the Metal Hut as a psychological switch. Squatting is a basic human instinct position on a picnic. This “informal” dining posture is relaxing and getting the diners more intimate. Squatting view also permits the diners to see the usually-neglected low dimension of the world.

　　3. 材料是词语，而词语没有优劣。我们选择了几个不常用的材料，以铁板作主语，软帘作定语，一棵真树作为谓语。意译是，柔软的金属守护自然的力量。

　　Material is just a word, with no special preference. We have chosen a few uncommon materials, with “iron board” as subject, “soft curtains” as attributive, and “a real tree” as the main verb. Metaphorically, it means soft metal is the power to guard our nature.
