尤伦斯当代艺术中心（UCCA） 已为推广国际知名艺术家和国内新星提供了一个令人瞩目的舞台。随着其雄心勃勃的商业文化综合体在北京的影响力不断扩大，UCCA的第三个也是最新的场馆——UCCA EDGE，为中国的另一个文化大都市上海开启了灵活而便捷的艺术体验。
Beijing’s revolutionary UCCA Center for Contemporary Art (UCCA) has established a name for itself as the premier venue for both introducing artists of international renown and promoting rising domestic stars. While the influence of its ambitious commercial-cultural mix continues to expand in Beijing, this third and newest venue, UCCA EDGE, opens a flexible and accessible arts experience to China’s other cultural metropolis, Shanghai.

EDGE占据了一座86m多用途塔楼的二至四层，将展览空间、餐厅和零售等各种功能进行整合。根据当地法规要求，设计中的预制元素应占新建筑的70%，新方案打破了在建建筑的原有限制，使展览中心从相邻的混合用途空间中脱颖而出。
EDGE occupies the second to fourth floors of a 86m mixed-use tower, embracing its typology with a diverse set of programs which include exhibition spaces, restaurant, and retail. Local codes mandate prefab elements to comprise 70% of new construction. Our design differentiates the center from adjacent mixed-use floors by breaking away from the pre-existing constraints of a building already under construction.

有选择的穿孔结构板为简单高效的结构带来丰富的空间体验，其形态唤起了人们对垂直性和尺度的关注。反射性金属饰面装饰的声学石膏墙极具特色，使文化空间从预制环境中独立出来。
The selective puncturing of structural slabs diversify the spatial experience of its simple structural efficiency, an architectural gesture that calls attention to verticality and scale. Spaces distinguished by acoustic plaster walls finished in reflective metallic further steer the cultural institution away from a largely off-the-shelf environment context.

新方案在原有大厅中引入柔软的入口墙，使展览中心从幕墙中脱颖而出。并置材料的精心推敲贯彻始终，不仅顺应了方案的美学思路，也成为一种组织空间策略。粗犷与锐利，光滑与质感，高光与阴影的并置共同营造出一个不落俗套的展示空间。
A soft entrance wall introduced to existing lobby escalators welcomes visitors and discerns the center from the rest of the curtain wall-clad building. Our design emphasizes material juxtaposition throughout, employed not only for its aesthetics but as a strategy to programs. Rough and sharp, smooth and textured, light and dark, all interwoven to create an unconventional exhibition space.
