“存在主义式”的美学里，强调我们一生都在对抗时间。但我们和时间搏斗之后残留下来的，其实是一个个被我们改造的空间。
In the "existential" aesthetics, it is emphasized that we are fighting against time throughout our lives. But what remains after we fight against time are actually many spaces transformed by us.
退后的尺度、阵列的手法、还有透过天井投下来的光线，即便是不识字的信徒，也能感受到神性。就像当我们置身于教堂之中，神圣和清澈的感觉必定会从你的心底涌起。我们把空间视作能承接梦想的地方，每一种空间形式都对应着一种生活理念，每个空间也都是一个世界。
Even illiterate believers can feel the divinity of the receding scale, array technique, and the light cast through the patio. Just like when we are in a church, the feeling of holiness and clarity will surely surge from your heart. We regard space as a place where dreams can be received. Each space form corresponds to a life concept, and each space is also a world.
对时间每一次决定性锁定的瞬间里，看到了空间的重新布局。不同的色彩建立了空间的不同层次，也划分了空间中的情绪。光感也会对空间进行分割，进而也分割了空间中的故事。我们有的时候会认为，能在时间中认识自己；然而我们的记忆，只是在空间中的一系列的定格。每个空间，有千万个小洞，里面压缩着我们的时间和我们的记忆。有的空间拥挤，里面全是情绪；而有的空间宽敞，却逼迫着我们低头；有的空间里有寒冷的微光，有的空间充斥着迷雾。
We see the rearrangement of space at every moment of decisive lock on time.
Different colors establish different levels of the space and divide the mood in the space. The sense of light will also divide the space, and then divide the stories in the space. We sometimes think that we can know ourselves in time; however, our memories are just a series of frames in space. In each space, there are thousands of small holes, in which our time and our memory are compressed. Some spaces are crowded and full of emotions; others are spacious but force us to bow our heads; some spaces have a cold twilight, and some spaces are filled with fog.
空间到底是什么，它并非是我们填充物体的容器，是我们情感的居所。在空间里，有我们和时间这场战役，所遗留下来的美丽化石。所以，我们也时常拿起相机，记录着所处的空间，有人、有光线、有物品；也许，还有我们的孤独。
What exactly is space？ It is not a container for us to fill objects, it is the abode of our emotions. In space, there are beautiful fossils left over from the battle between us and time. Therefore, we often pick up the camera and record the space we are in, with people, light, objects, and maybe our loneliness.
在审美的道路上，我们势必要理解一对矛盾又统一的关键概念。设计应该和人生一样，需要整体性，也要保证变调性。正如明亮调空间的精髓在于明中之暗，而灰暗调空间的精髓在于暗中之明。
On the road of aesthetics, we must understand the key concept of contradiction and unity. Works should be the same as life, which requires integrity and also ensures transposition. Just as the essence of a bright-toned space lies in the darkness in the light, the essence of a dark-toned space lies in the light in the dark.
在空间的字里行间里，设计在重复中，有差异地一点点推进内心独白的讲述。当我们在作品中把握住整体性和变调性的时候，音乐性也就降临了。正如巴赫在《音乐的奉献》中，用一种特殊的卡农技巧构成了怪圈，曲调转了几圈后远离了最初的调，但又在巧妙变调后回到了原来的调上。
Between the lines in the space, and in the repetition of the design, the narration of the inner monologue is promoted little by little with differences. When we grasp the wholeness and modulation in the work, musicality also comes. Just like Bach used a special canon technique to form a strange circle in "The Consecration of Music", the tune moved away from the original key after a few rounds but returned to the original key after subtly changing the key.
整体性和变调性虽然是抽象的美学词汇，但当我们从美学出发后，还可以落地成无数的实际感受。色彩中，冷调有暖色，暖调有冷色；尺度里，有平衡点的重复，也有失衡点的错落。
Although integrity and tone modulation are abstract aesthetic vocabulary, when we start from aesthetics, we can also realize countless practical feelings. In the colors, there are warm colors in cool tones, and cool colors in warm tones; in scale, there are repetitions of balance points and randomness of unbalanced points.
在整体性中期待丰富多彩的变调性，在变化中不忘守住我们的完整。不仅设计需要如此，人亦如此，人生亦如此。
Look forward to rich and colorful tone changes overall, and don't forget to protect the integrity of the changes. This is not only the need for design but also our life.
