架构师提供的文本描述。现在是未来，斯温伯恩大学正在他们的新的未来工厂里塑造这个未来。这家工厂的成功归功于对当代和新兴技术的创造性运用。工厂是下一代制造工艺教育和研究的展示场所。它的重点是在工厂空间中心建造一个两层高的圆顶状圆球。由弯曲的木材底座制造的，覆盖有智能面板的弯曲木皮。

Text description provided by the architects. The future is now and Swinburne University is shaping this future at their new Factory of the Future.  This Factory owes its success to the creative use of contemporary and emerging technologies.  The Factory is a showcase for education and research in the next generation of manufacturing processes.  Its focus is a two storey timber dome like ball constructed in the centre of the Factory space, manufactured from a curved timber substructure, covered with an intelligent panelised curved timber skin.

这些木材部件采用先进的计算机辅助设计和计算机引导刀具进行建模、弯曲和切割，与工厂展示的工艺有关，然后巧妙地手工安装到位，然后涂上涂层。圆顶球用一百八十个弯曲木铺板剥皮，木材皮模仿用于高科技机器的建筑技术，如潜艇和航天飞机。

These timber components were modelled, curved and cut using leading edge computer aided design and computer guided cutters, related to the processes showcased in the Factory, before being skilfully fitted into place by hand, then coated.  The dome ball is skinned with one hundred and eighty curved timber ply panels, fitted seamlessly in nine diminishing annuluses.  The timber skin mimics the construction technologies used for high-tech machines, like submarines and space shuttles.

木材圆顶球作为一个空间分隔器，一个互动式协作学习和会议的容纳器，再加上未来的一个意符。它是故意模棱两可和不切实际的，是为了制造关于它的用途和目的阴谋。在一个舒适的会议空间里，上层的内部层是原始的和表达它的结构的，揭示它的制造和结构的真实特征。

The timber dome ball functions as a space divider, an accommodator for interactive collaborative learning and meetings, plus a signifier of the future. It is deliberately ambiguous and quixotic, to create intrigue about its use and purpose.  The upper internal level has been left raw and expressive of its construction, to reveal the true characteristics of its fabrication and structure, in a cosy space for meetings. 

外层的木材外壳是光滑的，机加工的，同时又温暖自然。这种木材外壳隐藏了木材结构，并在结构上稳定了由弯曲的木材LVL梁构成的结构，这些梁是由计算机引导的切割机切割而成的，这两种结构都允许上层有一个令人印象深刻的四米悬臂，用于其上部平面图的一半。外面的木材外壳也是以粉红色的色调着色的，然后密封起来就像一个鸡蛋，造成了一种张力，即它是由人、机器还是自然制造的，这是人和机器结合在一起的结果，使用的是自然的产物。

The outer timber shell is slick and machined while being warm and natural.  This timber shell conceals the and structurally stabilises the engineered timber structure from curved timber LVL beams, cut by computer guided cutters, both allowing the upper level to have an impressive four metre cantilever for half its upper floor plan. The outside timber shell is also tinted in a pinkish tone and then sealed to resemble an egg, creating a tension of whether it is made by man, or by machine or by nature, resulting from the bringing together of man and machine, using a product of nature.

着色是在一种创新的‘橙色’切片分段的方法，以确保颜色应用甚至从一个面板到一个面板。在穹顶附近的地区继续提到木材，为工厂提供的服务饲料是成群结队的图腾，就像一种特殊的树木树，填充和服务于工厂的空间。木材也用于天花板，内墙和门内的木材圆顶球。

The tinting was applied in an innovative alternating ‘orange’ slice sectored approach, to ensure the colour application was even from panel to panel. The references to timber continue in the areas adjacent to the dome, with service feeds for the Factory being totems in clusters, like a special wooded treescape populating and servicing the Factory space. Timber is also used in the ceilings, internal walls and doors inside the timber dome ball.

工厂占地七百平方米，占地八米，座落在新落成的斯温朋AMDC大楼内。工厂的设计是多才多艺，灵活多变，所有的设备和装置都很容易适应不断变化的优先次序。供应商提供可以展示的制造设备，在一个易于重新配置的空间内。在空间周边展示，展示学生和研究人员的创作，毗邻未来和过去的具有启发性的标志性制造业产品，同时也参与并激发业界、社区和学生的热情。

The Factory occupies seven hundred square metres in an eight metre high factory space, housed within the newly completed Swinburne AMDC building.  The Factory is designed to be versatile and agile, with all the equipment and fixtures easily adapted to changing priorities. Suppliers provide manufacturing equipment able to be showcased, within a space that is easily reconfigured. Displays around the perimeter of the space, showcase the creations of the students and researchers, adjacent to inspirational iconic products of manufacturing for the future and the past, while engaging and enthusing industry, the community and students
