架构师提供的文本描述。BAITAcinema是位于北京历史悠久的白塔西地区的一个小庭院的短暂激活。在2016年北京设计周意识到，该项目实际上是鲍建筑师与法国驻华大使馆合作的长期战略的第一步，目的是将这个庭院改造成一个永久的文化空间，供集体和共享行动使用。

Text description provided by the architects. The BAITAcinema is an ephemeral activation of a small courtyard located in the historical Baitasi district in Beijing. Realized for the Beijing Design Week 2016, the project is in fact the first step in a longer-term strategy that BaO architects is undertaking with the French Embassy in China to transform this courtyard into a permanent cultural space for collective and shared actions.

该项目的核心姿态是在现有的房屋布局内建造一个木制圆形剧场。该装置侵入了室外和室内空间，完全改变了游客对这个地方的体验，故意激怒了当地的主人，在新旧之间制造了偶然的相遇或空间事件。它开辟了一个新的用途，姿势和潜力的空间，被认为是一个直截了当的传统住宅空间。

The core gesture of the project was the construction of a wooden amphitheater within the existing layout of the house. Invading both outdoor and indoor spaces and entirely transforming the visitor’s experience of the place, the installation purposely provokes its vernacular host and creates accidental encounters or spatial events between the new and the old. It opens up a new range of usages, postures and potentials in a space that was considered a straightforward traditional residential space.

包的建筑干预集中于创造一个空间事件的愿望和可能性，这将使一个社会政治事件。从本质上讲，竞技场提议创造一个传统上与公共生活、社区空间和公民聚会相联系的空间，这种空间是中国家庭生活的缩影和亲密的缩影。这种精美的建筑手法是一种有意识的建筑策略，目的是激发人们对北京胡同复兴机会的乐观和进步的看法。它在设计上是无拘无束的，颂扬渺小的可能性，并且对它的历史背景有着大胆的态度。它试图摆脱传统的，有些过于礼貌的方法，历史地区的复兴，不幸的是，往往与文化自豪感和怀旧联系在一起。

BaO’s architectural intervention focused on the desire and the possibility to create a spatial event that would enable a socio-political one. In essence, the amphitheater proposed to create a space that is traditionally associated with public life, community space, and civic gathering, within a setting that epitomizes domesticity and the intimacy of the Chinese family life. This cadavre exquis approach was a conscious architectural tactic to trigger an optimistic and progressive outlook on the opportunities of Beijing’s Hutongs’ renewal. It is uninhibited in its design, celebrates the possibilities of smallness, and is bold in its attitude toward its historical setting. It tries to break away from conventional and somewhat too polite approaches to historical district regeneration that is unfortunately too often associated with cultural pride and nostalgia.

该项目及其相关的“开放政策”在私人公共空间之间制造了一种模糊不清的现象，其目的是为了表明即将在社区中心创建一个面向公共的项目。它被设计成一个开放的文化平台，一个灵活的艺术品，一个使聚会和庆祝集体行动得以进行的基础设施。该弹出式BAITAcinema的目标是创造机会和共同的乐趣，胡同社区和设计周的游客都可以放松，一起看电影，参加和参加各种关于城市的讨论，协助表演和艺术活动，并参加创意工作坊。

The project and its associated “open-door policy” created a ambiguity between private public space that was intended as a way to signal the coming creation of a public-oriented program in the heart of the neighborhood. It was designed as an open cultural platform, a flexible artifact, an infrastructure that enables gatherings and celebrates collective actions. The ambition of the pop-up BAITAcinema was to create moments of encounter and shared pleasure where the hutongs community and the design week visitors alike can relax, watch a movie together, attend and participate in a variety of discussion on the city, assist to performances and artistic happenings, and participate in creative workshops.

BAITAcinema项目连续两周成功运行，放映项目融合了古老的中国电影、纪录片、无声电影、儿童影院、讲座、研讨会和中法环境月的特别纪录片选择。鲍建筑师将与法国大使馆、地方当局和当地社区一道，在今年冬天为庭院制定长期项目，并打算在2017年春季开始施工。(鼓掌)

The BAITAcinema program ran successfully for 2 consecutive weeks with a screening program intermingling old Chinese movies, documentaries, silent movies, children cinema, lectures, talks, workshops, and a special Sino-French Environment Month documentaries selection. BaO architects, alongside the French Embassy, local authorities, and the local community, will work on the formulation of the long-term project for the courtyard during this winter with the intention to start construction in the spring 2017.
