架构师提供的文本描述。今年夏天，斯科普里的居民和文化团体欢迎在该市瓦尔达尔河岸举办活动、会谈和集会的开放式建筑。活动空间是由十协会的一组建筑师和当地的非政府组织城市创意网络(CCN)构想和实现的。

Text description provided by the architects. This summer, residents and cultural groups in Skopje welcomed an open structure built with the intention of hosting events, talks and gatherings at the banks of the city’s Vardar River. The event space was conceived and realized by a group of architects from the association TEN and a local NGO City Creative Network (CCN).

干预措施位于靠近市中心的河边，面向斯科普里青年文化中心和艺术与科学学院。作为一项城市基础设施，Nautilus提供了从较高的街道水平到水的边缘的行人连接，作为道路和娱乐空间与自行车道之间的门槛；创造了便利和鼓励在这一以前未得到充分利用的地点举行文化活动和集会的新的空间可能性。

The intervention is placed on the edge of the riverfront close to the city centre, facing the Youth Cultural Center Skopje and Academy of Arts and Sciences. As a piece of urban infrastructure, Nautilus offers a pedestrian connection from the higher street level to the water’s edge, acting as a threshold between road and recreational space with a bicycle lane; and creating new spatial possibilities for facilitating and encouraging cultural events and gatherings on this previously underutilized site.

“Nautilus”的作者的意图并不是要参与已经超越城市的正在进行的一系列发展，而是试图看到那些看不见的东西；让斯科普里一个被忽视和被忽视的部分重新焕发生机，赋予它不明确的代码和含义，而是赋予人们在公共空间聚集的迫切需要的可能性。在这个意义上，与该地区的其他结构不同的是，Nautilus没有传达具体的信息：这是一个悬而未决的问题。此外，该项目的方法远远不只是建筑；因为它包括与当地和国际的当地、生产团队、工人和制造商、瑞士和马其顿学生小组以及结合施工过程制作一系列城市照片的瑞士摄影师若耶尔·泰塔曼蒂进行交谈。

The intention of the authors of Nautilus was not to engage in the ongoing litany of development that has overtaken the city, but instead to attempt to see the unseen; to re-animate an overlooked and neglected part of Skopje and endow it not with explicit codes and meanings, but rather, with the much-needed possibility for people to gather in public space. In that sense, unlike the other structures in the area, Nautilus does not transmit concrete messages: it is an open question. Moreover, the methodology of the project encompasses far more than just its construction; as it includes conversations with locals, production teams, workers and manufacturers both local and international, group of swiss and macedonian students, and the Swiss photographer Joël Tettamanti who produced a series of city photographs in conjunction with the construction process.

Nautilus的20米长的一级结构建在石堤墙的周围，但没有碰触它。它完全是用钢铁建造的，在战略要地上包覆着一种编织和油漆的纺织品，特别是为这个项目开发的。纺织品用作场地的框架、投影表面
和在其他刚性重复钢结构中不同过渡空间的描绘器。在河边，它比自行车道高出6米，在水面上呈现出一个很高的屏幕，可以投射出图像；但在道路一侧，它的高度仍然是谦逊而平实的，引人入胜的发现和栖息。

The 20 meter long primary structure of Nautilus is constructed over and around the stone embankment wall, but does not touch it. It is built entirely out of steel and clad in strategic locations with a woven and painted textile developed especially for the project. The textile is used as a frame for the site, a projection surface
and a delineator of different spaces of transition within the otherwise rigid repeated steel structure. On the riverside, it rises 6 meters above the bicycle path, presenting a tall screen to the water upon which images can be projected; but on the road side its height remains modest and unimposing, inviting discovery and inhabitation.

一级结构内的窄木楼梯通过河流和道路之间5米的水平变化进行协商，作为跨越200米长的石堤墙的四个不同地面层的唯一结缔组织。公共楼梯被一个天篷所包围，它在结构内创造了一系列的空间体验，在上升和下降过程中提供了河流的框架视图，并保护游客不受烈日的影响。楼梯通道可以作为一个内部，但实际上，从来没有一个明确的内部和外部的划分。楼梯的宽度从底层的2米(足够宽到可以坐)到屋顶水平的20厘米(只有动物才能栖息的高度)。

The narrow timber stair set within the primary structure negotiates the 5 meter level change between river and road, acting as the only connective tissue across four different ground levels along the 200 meter long stretch of stone embankment walling. The public stair is enclosed by a canopy which creates a series of spatial experiences within the structure, offering framed views of the river during ascent and descent, and protecting visitors from the hot sun. The stairway passage can act as an interior, yet in fact, there is never a clear division between inside and outside. The stair width ranges from 2 meters on the lower ground level (wide enough to sit), to 20 centimeters at roof level (the height at which only animals can perch).
