繼香港渣打大廈和東京銀座大廈之后，多莉安娜和馬西米利亞諾·福克薩斯在第五大道完成了著名的阿瑪尼商店設計三部曲。

After Hong Kong Chater House and Tokyo Ginza Tower, Fifth Avenue completes the trilogy of the Armani Stores designed by Doriana and Massimiliano Fuksas for the famous designer.

這個項目坐落在紐約市中心的世界知名的街區之一——第五大道和56 街之間的兩棟建筑物的底部三層。

Situated in the centre of New York, in one of the world’s well known streets, the project takes up the first three floors of the two buildings located between 5th Avenue and 56th Street.

包括地下室在內，展廳共有上下四層空間，而在設計構想中，這是一個沒有明確分區的整體空間，通過其中漩渦狀樓梯帶來的力量感將它們和諧地聯成一體。

Besides the basement, the showroom develops on four different levels and it is conceived as a single space, without clear distinctions, a space in harmony connected with the power generated by the vortex that is the staircase.

事實上，建筑的核心集中體現在樓梯的設計中。結構由熱軋鋼（意大利制造）制成，外面覆蓋塑料表層，以突出它獨特的雕塑意象。它的形體不能用任何常規的幾何形體來描述，靈感來源于動力強大的漩渦，周圍環繞著擺放阿瑪尼商品的不同樓層。

The heart of the building is, in fact, epitomized by the staircase. Structure in rolled calendar steel (made in Italy) and cladded in a plastic layer that highlights its exceptional sculptural presence. It is an entity that is almost impossible to convey in terms of any normal geometric shape that originates from a vortex with great dynamism, surrounded by the different levels that accommodate the Armani world.

樓梯宛如絲帶一般舞動著掠過各個樓層，如此理解可能最為接近它的幾何形態。

The movement of the ribbons that constitutes the staircase, skimming each floor, disenchants the possibility to recognize the geometry.

每個樓層的整體布局都循著不同的帶狀軌跡，創造了一種被漩渦控制的空間。

The general layout of every floor develops according to the different flexures of the ribbons, creating a space controlled by the vortex.

就內部空間的活力而言，沒有任何多余的元素，甚至外立面也是如此。即便建筑排列于曼哈頓街區死板頑固的條條框框的縫隙中，但仍通過一組LED燈光線管的設計，借助圖像和光影，模擬出活力運動。這個燈光展示屏幕除了將室內空間投影到室外，同時還是對紐約市的特別敬意，能夠配得上這座城市的現代性和活力，是不言而喻的題中之義。

No element is extraneous to the internal dynamism, not even the external fa?ade; even if it is lined up to the rigid orthogonal stitch of Manhattan, simulating the movement through images and shades,projected on a set of LED threads. This screen, besides being the projection to the outside of the internal space, is also a particular tribute to New York City, the inescapable necessity to compare its modernity and its dynamism.

內部空間的流動性通過漆木面板在墻體上的連續線條來實現。

The fluidity of the internal space is rendered by the wall of continuous threads, that are realized with lacquered wood panels.

勾勒這些線條不同的曲面光線造成了空間的變幻并因此形成了不同的產品展示區，線條的曲折圍合讓試衣間和貴賓廳更宜人，同時也形成了員工區、收銀臺或特殊產品區，比如Armani Dolci這些不同的分區。特別重要的一點是，通過墻面和空間曲線的界定、特性化和強調的提示，它們突出了總體布局中的不同功能區。

The different rays of bends that outline the threads transform into the spaces and handles for the different product areas. The folding of the threads give hospitality to the dressing-rooms and the VIP hall, also transforming into areas reserved for staff, cash desks, or special product areas such as Armani Dolci.A particular importance is given by the enlightenment that defines, characterizes and emphasizes the bends of the walls and of the spaces, highlighting the different functions of the general layout.

內部設計的每一個元素，從商店層到儲藏區、從桌子到扶手椅，都遵循和貼合樓梯產生的運動概念，成為整個漩渦的一部分。設計的布置和流線也展現出了整個布局的和諧。

Every element of the internal design, from the shop floors to the storage, from the desks to the armchairs,follows and satisfies the movement concept generated by the staircase, becoming a part of the same vortex. The disposition and the route that it implies outlines the harmonic layout.

墻壁和室內陳設的光澤與大理石及天花板的黑色形成了強烈反差，從而強調了互動的區域。

There is a confliction between the shine of the walls and of the furnishings and the noir of the marble and of the ceiling. Therefore emphasizing the areas that are there for interaction.

清晰簡潔的室內空間與咖啡廳、餐廳形成一鐘強烈的對比，也使得電梯出口十分引人注目。青銅色褶皺表皮覆蓋著它們，吸收并反射色彩與陰影，給人一絲嶄新氣氛。從餐廳琥珀色的紗帷看去，能夠看到第五大道的壯觀景色和紐約中心公園的一端。

There is also a confliction between the apparent simplicity of the internal space and the cafe/restaurant giving an advanced notice of the elevator’s entrance. The refolded bronze that covers them, acquires and reflects the colours and the shades giving a glimpse of the new atmosphere. From the restaurant, filtered by an amber veil, there is a splendid view of 5th Avenue and the end of Central Park.

其余的展廳所用的色彩和材料也是相同的，但細節的處理采用了不同的方式。地板上的一條燈帶引向餐廳的入口，凸顯了墻面的性感曲線，整個空間洋溢著悠閑的感覺。

The colours and the materials utilized are the same as the rest of the showroom, but the suggestions are new and different. The space becomes recreational, a line of light on the floor that leads to the entrance of the restaurant, underlining the sensuality of the bends of the wall.

一張虛擬幕布開啟了一段旅程，宛如身在劇場，演出開始！

A virtual curtain activates the passage and, just like a theatre, ...the show begins!
