在由包豪斯风格的工厂遗址改造而成的艺术街区——北京798艺术区，我们设计了继台北、香港之后，白石在中国大陆的首个新画廊。

Beijing’s 798 Art Zone is an art district created through the conversion of a factory site in the Bauhaus style. Here, we designed the first White Stone Gallery in Chinese mainland following Taipei and Hong Kong.

尽管与街道相接的入口相对较窄，但为了赋予画廊鲜明的地标性和定位，我们设计了一个以木纹铝折板制成的立体化遮篷的立面。访客将穿过入口，通过一个由木纹线材构成的类似于竹林的走廊，进入一个引人注目的空间，这里的木纹线材与走廊的纹理相同，又形成一个立体的云状结构，悬浮在头顶上方。

Although the gallery interfaces with a relatively narrow street front, we implemented a facade design featuring a three-dimensional canopy made of folded aluminum sheets with a wood-grain texture to give the gallery a strong landmark identity. Passing through the entrance, visitors pass through a corridor resembling a bamboo forest created with the wood-grained strips. Beyond this corridor, a dramatic space unfolds where the wood-grained strips, sharing the same texture as the corridor, welcomes the visitors with a three-dimensional cloud-like structure in the overhead space.

在穿过接待区之后的区域，我们设计了以白色为主色调的简约墙面，并与裸露的粗糙老旧混凝土的大型拱形屋顶结合的开阔空间。这个空间强调简约和灵活性，使艺术作品仿佛在其中浮现。

Beyond the reception, we designed the zone as a gallery space that emphasizes minimalism and flexible use. It features walls with a white base and a large open area under the vaulted roof, where the rough, aged concrete is exposed. This design creates an impression of art works floating within the space.

在798的白石画廊，我们统一使用了木纹转印的3mm厚铝面材，并通过各自不同的折弯处理和螺丝/螺栓固定的组合，巧妙地适应了多个内外不同的空间。这样做成功地创造了一个连续的通道，将访客引入非日常体验，同时打造了一个艺术与北京现代历史背景强烈对峙的空间。

At White Stone Gallery in 798, by using 3mm thick aluminum panels uniformly printed with a wood pattern, each uniquely processed with different bending and fixing methods with screws/bolts, we skillfully spanned through the several distinct spaces and created a continuous passage that span both inside and outside to invite the visitors into a place of extraordinary, inside a space where art and the modern historical context of Beijing confront each other powerfully.
