加减智库设计事务所新办公室的选址位于广州古老河道东濠涌的西侧，地处广州老城区越秀和东山的交界。东边远眺广州CBD珠江新城，北侧毗邻旧城，旧楼簇拥环抱着越秀山。城市的脉络被一栋栋高楼半遮半掩的隐藏其后，露出一个个的片段让人试图去窥探和脑补这个城市的全部。

The new premises of PMT Partners are located in the west of Dongheyong River, an ancient riverway in Guangzhou. This site is the junction of Yuexiu and Dongshan in downtown Guangzhou. Located at the foot of the Yuexiu Mountain, the premises neighbor the Zhujiang New Town in the east and the old downtown in the north, surrounded by aged buildings. The outline of the city is fragmented into pieces by the skyscrapers, arousing the attempt to explore and imagine the whole picture of this city.

历史并非由不同时期、不同形态的文化按照时间顺序和空间区域有序分布、不断演替更新的历时性过程，而是文化的共时性积累、融合、膨胀，不可逆地走向多样性混生的进程。

History is not a diachronic process where cultures of different ages and forms distribute and evolve in a chronological and spatial order. Instead, they co-exist and expand in a synchronic and irreversible manner.

事务所希望在这样混合的共时性场景下去进行创作并挖掘城市空间的多样可能。物理上的透明性使窗外景致和窗内办公室的距离无限拉近，提供了一种机会使工作场景与城市背景形成内外模糊的拼贴式关系。

PMT hopes to create and explore more possibilities about this city in this mixed and synchronic context. The transparent glass walls draw the outdoor landscapes closer to the indoor space, creating a collage of the working scenes and the urban landscapes.

根据格式塔心理学的逻辑——当我们看到事物的多个片段时，会自动想象和补全他的整体；看到多组信息时，会自动识别并分别设想每组信息的完整形象。如立体主义绘画将一个事物多个侧面、甚至不同时间的各个影像同时拍平了呈现在画布之上，使具有深度的物件的各个方向被压缩，形成浅空间。

According to the Gestalt psychology, we tend to imagine the whole picture at the sight of several fragments. When there are several groups of information, our brain would automatically classify it and imagine the complete image of each group. This is like the cubist paintings, where different sides of one object, even those during different periods, are all presented on the canvas. The multi-dimensional objects are compressed in all directions, forming a shallow space.
