C Future Lab, China by QUAD Studio

感谢 扩道建筑设计事务所 对gooood的分享。
Appreciation towards QUAD Studio for providing the following description:

我们正在进入的年代，是科技不断在进步，而影响着我们生活、工作和玩乐方式的各方面的。建筑师和设计师为了展现人类如何适应及融入这些概念的生活的可能性，每每担当着重要的角色。中洲未来实验室C Future Lab是我们测试这个可能性的地方。它是一个非常独特的实验室项目，里面展示了整个深圳中洲湾未来城市，目的是为了创建一个可以测试、分享和讨论新想法的地方，帮助我们对于未来城市应有的模式厘清方向。

As we enter into a new age where technology has progressed to a stage where it affects every facet of the way we live, work and play, architects and designers are playing a greater part in showcasing the possibilities of how we adapt to a life that incorporates these ideas. C Future Lab presents an opportunity for a unique experimental project designed to showcase Shenzhen’s C Future City – with the aim of creating a laboratory for new ideas to be tested, shared and discussed in a bid to help define the path to building the ultimate city of the future.

实验室结合了艺术画廊、共享工作空间、花园、讨论论坛和社交聚会区的功能，每个空间都旨在适应未来不断变化的氛围和功能需求。当中的设计理念是为访客创造一个充满新奇和期待的旅程，掀动他们的灵感，诱发他们讨论。

By combining the functions of an art gallery, co-working space, garden, discussion forum and social gathering area, each space was designed to adapt to the ever-changing functional needs of society. With a design concept based on creating a journey for visitors to embark on fuelled by curiosity and anticipation, the project provides a platform for discussion and inspiration.

该项目由扩道担任主要室内空间设计师和策展人，并由来自世界各地一众最具创新精神的公司作品汇集而成，当中包括日本数码艺术家 Teamlab、来自法国的绿色顾问帕特里克·布朗克、来自英国的家具设计师罗斯·洛夫格罗夫以及中国展览大师墨子。扩道的角色类似于电影导演或交响乐指挥家，将不同设计人才结合在一起，并将所有创作融入一个空间。

With QUAD studio as the main interior designer and curator, C Future Lab combines the work of a group of the most innovative designers from all corners of the world, including digital artists teamLab from Japan, landscape consultant Patrick Blanc from France, industrial designer Ross Lovegrove from the UK, and China’s exhibition specialist, Motse. In this sense, QUAD’s role is similar to a movie director or orchestral conductor, pulling together a myriad of design talent and integrating their creations into a single space.

实验室欢迎访客穿越名为「时空隧道」的空间，从而可以看到管道中投射于墙身的是墨子的作品；管道中以自动开关的门控制人流。时光旅程延伸到「接待区」，是一个由扩道与罗斯·洛夫格罗夫设计的生物体装置，造型别树一格，把传统接待前台的形象界线推得更远。

Visitors are welcomed through what is known as a Time Passage, where Moste’s work is projected onto the walls of a tubular tunnel where automatic pivot doors open and close to control crowd flow.

旅程延伸至互动中枢，罗斯·洛夫格罗夫和扩道设计独一无二的生物般的雕塑，重新定义传统的接待处。

The journey continues into The Cell, a one-of-its-kind living organism- type sculpture designed by Ross Lovegrove and QUAD studio, which redefines and pushes the boundaries of any conventional reception area.

来到「幻想空间」艺术装置，是一幅感应器与光线营造效果的平白画板，让艺术家与创意专才等人展现作品。「创意枢纽」影院区是中洲未来实验室的核心，为一个设有100个座位的多功能剧院讲厅空间，平时播放墨子的主题导读，带领访客理解深圳由小城镇蜕变成繁华大都会的历史变迁，了解一个城市的發展如何能够成为扩道未来發展的愿景与目标。

On now to the Space of Imagination, which provides an exhibition space for artists and creatives alike to exhibit their works – a blank canvas of sensors and lighting. The Creative Hub forms the centre of C Future Lab, which hosts a multifunctional 100-seat theatre and lecture space where during normal hours Motse’s themed projections invite visitors to travel through the history of Shenzhen, from its historical background, through to the fast-booming metropolis it has become onto QUAD’s vision of the future.

「漂浮花园」绿化区的绿色流线型装置则围绕着展览空间延展出去，体现科技与大自然结合所创造的空间。该部份由扩道与帕特里克·布朗克共同打造，设计装置穿透玻璃至室外花园而止，毗邻的鱼池更是画龙点睛，缔造访客流连忘返的时光。

A suspended green ribbon sculpture known as the Hanging Garden wraps around the exhibition spaces, providing a space where technology meets nature. A collaboration between Patrick Blanc and QUAD, the structure penetrates the glass towards the exterior garden, where a grounded fishpond defines the way visitors move around the space.

值得一提的是另一个项目展示空间「讯息流域」，由超过160个荧幕拼凑而成，访客可以亲身体验扩道之于中洲未来城市的多样元素；「商务区」也是不可多得，往往是轻呷浅酌，共享工作以及隐私约会的交际之地。扩道与罗斯·洛夫格罗夫共同设计以三维打印活像雕塑一般的长桌，处于办公室中心位置，日间工作之用，晚间则作把酒言欢之地，功能出众。

Also included is the Info Labyrinth, an exhibition area surrounded by over 160 monitors where visitors are invited to experience multiple facets of QUAD’s vision of C Future City.

共创空间是社交的地方，有咖啡店﹑酒吧﹑共享工作间和会议室。由罗斯·洛夫格罗夫和扩道设计，置于中间的3D打印凋塑桌在日间为工作台，晚间作为酒吧桌。最后，「睿智平台」位置可容纳最多20人小组汇报与讨论之用，长条状的投影屏幕环绕中心讲台，讲者可透过身体语言指令高科技感应器，把汇报作品和听众无缝联系在一起。

Studio, a space for social gatherings housing a café, bar, co-working spaces and private meeting areas. Designed by Ross Lovegrove and QUAD, the 3D printed sculptural table in the centre serves as a co-working space during the day and a bar table in the evening. Lastly, the Forum, which is designed to cater for small group presentations and discussions for up to 20 people, boasts one continuous ribbon-like projection screen that wraps around the centre stage, complete with state-of-the-art sensors controlled through gestures that link the presenter directly with their presentation and their audience.
