项目整体定位与社会意义：BRITA 131 艺术空间项目，从社会和文化角度来看，其核心在于将艺术融入日常生活，并积极连接更广泛的公众。这不仅仅是一个建筑设计项目，更是一个关于社区营造和文化传播的实践。它将原本废弃的建筑改造成集展览、交流于一体的非营利艺术机构，赋予了旧场地新的生命力。通过与周围环境的互动，项目模糊了展览空间与城市生活的界限，提升了公众对艺术的参与度和认知度。这种策略对于推动城市文化发展，提升社区活力具有积极意义。

空间策略与建筑手法：设计师巧妙地利用了场地原有的结构，通过“最小干预”的设计理念，将地下空间改造成灵活多变的展览场所。回字形动线设计打破了传统美术馆的单向观展模式，增强了空间的连续性和自由度。建筑师运用水平展开的梯形屋顶，以及由柱廊支撑的入口，赋予了建筑独特的视觉标识和仪式感。同时，设计还融入了下沉广场和咖啡馆等元素，将建筑与城市环境紧密结合，创造出一种开放、多元、轻松的氛围，而非封闭和严肃的传统美术馆形象。

可持续性与环境融合：该项目最显著的特点之一是它对环境的尊重和对城市肌理的适应。设计团队通过拆除废弃的自行车通道，打造露天公共广场，将光线引入地下空间，创造了半户外公共区域，为公众提供了更多活动的可能性。同时，建筑语言克制而精准，建筑与城市环境的交互策略，使得建筑既成为场地的一部分，又对周边产生积极影响。设计师在建筑与自然、建筑与城市之间寻求微妙平衡，实现了可持续发展，也为城市更新提供了有益的借鉴。

From the architect. BRITA 131 Art Space has recently officially opened to the public. This project was initiated by founder Xiao Jun in the BAC Art Community, aiming to integrate the works of local artists into daily life and establish connections with the wider public. As a non-profit art institution, it is not only a display space, but also a communication platform.

It covers a total area of 17.48 acres and has a building area of 37900 square meters, providing a complete learning, working, social, and living environment for young art groups..

The involvement of art museums is not simply a spatial transformation, but a new urban strategy. It connects with the flow lines of the block and the pedestrian system on the ground through a series of open spaces with blurred boundaries, making the site a part of the city rather than an isolated building. The entrance plaza, sunken courtyard, B131 caf é and other areas form a continuous public space that allows non museum visitors to enter naturally, blurring the boundary between exhibition space and urban life.
美术馆的介入并非单纯的空间改造，而是一种新的城市策略。它通过一系列边界模糊的开放空间，与街区的流线、地面的步行系统相连接，使场地成为城市的一部分，而非孤立的建筑体。入口广场、下沉庭院、B131 咖啡馆等区域构成了一个连续的公共场所，允许非美术馆观众自然进入，模糊了展览空间与城市生活之间的界限。

Horizontally unfolded trapezoidal roof

The original bicycle ramp on the north side has been transformed into the main entrance of the art museum. After removing the heavy steel frame, a horizontally unfolded trapezoidal roof has been installed, supported by 23 columns arranged in sequence, giving the eaves a light and floating posture.. The colonnade enhances the sense of ceremony upon entering the art museum, giving the entrance a distinctive facade. The main entrance forms a dialogue with the B131 caf é across from it, providing a flexible social space for the exhibition opening.
水平展开的梯形屋顶

北侧原自行车坡道被改造为美术馆主入口，拆除厚重的钢架后，设置了一个水平展开的梯形屋顶，由 23 根序列排列的圆柱支撑，使屋檐呈现轻盈、漂浮的姿态。柱廊强化了进入美术馆的仪式感，赋予美术馆入口一个具有辨识性的立面。主入口与对面的 B131 咖啡馆构成对话，为展览开幕提供了灵活的社交空间。

The abandoned bicycle lane on the south side has been demolished to form an open-air sunken square, which introduces light into the underground space and creates a semi outdoor public square, providing more possibilities for opening parties, performances, forums, rest, and communication. The setting of this space enables the art museum to no longer rely solely on exhibition activities, but to actively intervene and shape the public attributes of the site through architectural strategies.
南侧废弃的自行车通道被拆除，形成一座露天的下沉广场，将光线引入地下空间，形成一个半户外的公共广场，为开幕派对、演出、论坛、休息和交流提供更多可能性。这一空间的设定，使美术馆不再仅仅依赖展览活动本身，而是通过建筑策略，主动介入并塑造场地的公共属性。

Order of Exhibition Space

The underground exhibition area adopts a loop shaped flow, including two exhibition spaces, and the area can be flexibly adjusted according to curatorial needs.. Design based on the current situation of the site and streamline spatial order through minimal intervention strategies. Exhibition space is not just a closed 'display box', but a place that can accommodate various events and social activities. The loop shaped movement enhances the continuity of the venue, making the exhibition path more free rather than passively following a single narrative structure. This strategy makes the spatial attributes of the art museum more flexible and consistent with contemporary curatorial methods. The atmosphere of the entire art museum is relaxed and casual, not confined to the seriousness of traditional art museums, but becoming an open, diverse, and youthful art venue.
展览空间的秩序

地下展览区域采用回字形动线，包含两个展览空间，可根据策展需求灵活调整面积。设计基于场地现状，通过最小化的干预策略梳理空间秩序。展览空间不仅是封闭的“展示盒子”，而是能够容纳多种事件和社交活动的场所。回字形动线加强了场地的连续性，使观展路径更加自由，而非被动地服从单一的叙事结构。这一策略让美术馆的空间属性更具弹性，与当代策展方式保持一致。整个美术馆的氛围轻松随性，不拘泥于传统美术馆的严肃性，而是成为一个开放、多元、年轻的艺术场所。

BRITA 131 Art Space is not only an exhibition space, but also an open space embedded in urban life. Its entrance plaza, sunken courtyard, and B131 caf é together form a continuous spatial sequence, making the museum's existence more relaxed and fluid, rather than closed and self-sufficient. By using restrained architectural language, precise construction methods, and interactive strategies with the urban environment, buildings become both a part of the site and have a positive impact on the surrounding area, finding a subtle balance between architecture and nature, architecture and the city.
BRITA 131 艺术空间不仅是一个展览空间，更是一个嵌入城市生活的开放场所。它的入口广场、下沉庭院、B131咖啡馆共同构成了一个连续的空间序列，使美术馆的存在方式更加松弛、流动，而非封闭和自足。通过克制的建筑语言、精准的构造方式以及与城市环境的交互策略，使建筑既成为场地的一部分，又对周边产生积极影响，在建筑与自然、建筑与城市之间找到微妙的平衡。
