　　芭蕾﹐常被认为是一种“柔弱”、“女性化” 的老派贵族艺术。如何通过中国首个芭蕾艺术发展平台﹐让中国年青观众有一个新的认知? 空间的利用和设计﹐能否与这门艺术的真正特质相呼相应? 这些都是我们在接受委约为“晓星芭蕾艺术发展基金会”设计新址时﹐对自己提出的挑战。

Ballet, in Asia, is often dismissed as an aristocratic passé, or mistaken for a weak and feminine art form. As the premier platform for the development of Ballet in China，how does one reframe this story to a new Chinese audience? Can the spatial qualities echo the nature of the art form? This was the brief we gave ourselves when we were commissioned to work on the design of the Morning Star Ballet Foundation.

　　芭蕾之美，拥有内外“双重性”，而我们尝试用建筑设计来表达——一方面，在外在视觉展现上无与伦比的轻盈优雅；另一方面，强大的自我控制中蕴藏的力量和原则。而这些，正是成就一位芭蕾舞者的内心源泉。

　　因为，我们将一道优雅的“天梯”，作为芭蕾“外在”之美的化身：它既是实用的通道又是雕塑，美妙的旋转在自然光线之中构造出万千变化。而在工作室的部分，我们表现芭蕾另一面的“内在”气质：墙体呈现出严肃而冷静的灰色纹理，来自混凝土薄集环氧树脂。

We explored instead, a dual-faceted notion of Ballet, focusing on the one hand, a visual performance of light and grace, and on the other, an intense expression of strength and discipline, often internalized amongst dancers. Thus, the “entry”, akin to Ballet’s external expression, is made as both sculptural spectacle and as passage, rendered in gradients of light. The studio proper, in contrast, is carried through with more solemn palette of greys in varying textures from unfinished concrete to thin set epoxy resin.

　　为了缔造一个浑然天成的“天梯”，我们设计了两条轨道：一条自上而下，从前台边缘旋转至楼梯扶手；另一条自下而上，从外轨一直蔓延至墙壁和天花板。两条轨道之间的弯曲面，用细腻的凹凸质感反映着来自北面的日光，为“天梯”带来了美妙的光线变幻。

　　在色彩的使用上，我们特别将哑光和亮面的赭褐白分别用在墙和护栏内侧，在这抹暖意色彩与冷静混凝土的对比中，整体的空间设计得以完成。

To create a seamless sculptural passage, the stair geometry is defined by two rails, one that traces the hand from the edge of the info desk onto the stair rail, another from the outer rail onto the wall, and ceiling. The surface between the rails adopts a slight curvature, generating concave and convex surfaces that gently gradate the northern daylight, thereby giving lightness to the form. Burnt Sienna white was specified in matt and gloss for the walls and inner rail respectively, to complete the space with just a touch of warmth against the cooler concrete.
