RAY临时餐饮空间

项目RAY是一个完全透明的结构，当人们站在空间内，可以看到和感受到周围的环境，但同时又感觉到一种安全和舒适，因此，项目与环境同时存在着一种分隔与联系的矛盾关系。 

RAY is a completely transparent construction. It is not there. But it is. Standing on the street, seeing and feeling the surroundings, but at the same time feeling a kind of security and comfort. There is a simultaneous connection and disconnection with it’s environment. 

该建筑采用了标准的温室建筑系统，原因很明显：成本、建造速度和可用性。为了将 "温室"融入周围环境，我们应用了一些建筑上的 "调整"。玻璃建筑的屋顶坡度是根据教堂圣殿的屋顶坡度设计的，也与项目的立面完全一致。

The construction was built using a standard system of greenhouse construction. For obvious reasons: cost, speed and availability. In order to integrate the ‘greenhouse’ into its surroundings, we applied a number of architectural ‘tweaks’: The slope of the roof of the glass construction is based on the roof slope of the sacristy of the church. The orangery also stands perfectly in line with the front facade of this sacristy.

因此，温室的玻璃屋顶也与Sint-Niklaaskerk和市政厅（Robbrecht & Daem）的屋顶坡度完美契合，但相较于周边环境稍微出挑了一点点，这个细节赋予了建筑外观一定的视觉冲击力。这座玻璃建筑不仅仅是一座 "落地"的温室，而是在周围的环境中自然而然地沉淀下来。

The glass roof of the greenhouse thus also fits perfectly with the roof slope of the Sint-Niklaaskerk and the city hall (Robbrecht & Daem) a bit further. A detail, but with a visual impact. The glass building is not just a ‘landed’ greenhouse, but it settles in its surroundings. Naturally.

RAY与公共领域无缝连接，意图是它作为一个公共领域的功能，人们可以自由地走进和走出。大型滑动门保证了建筑成为街道或是街道成为建筑的可能，也能遮挡住比利时多雨的天气。

RAY seamlessly connects to the public domain. The intention is that it functions as a public domain, where people can walk in and out freely. Large sliding gates ensure that the building becomes street, and the street becomes building. But always sheltered from the famous Belgian rain.

RAY拆除后，这里将完全恢复原貌，不会有任何可见的损坏。正如谷崎润一郎说的那样："我们收集的稻木，把它架起来，就是一个小屋，拉走后，又是一片田野。”

After RAY is dismantled, the site will be completely restored to its original state, without any permanent visible damage. “The rice wood that we collect: set it up, and it is a hut. pull it over: there is the field again. Junichiro Tanizaki.”

Like a plane or a boat, RAY is what it is, and looks as it is, evident as an exact link between ratio and poetry, responding to the setting, and its beauty is almost self-evident.
