架构师提供的文本描述。前往现场的旅程是从一个热带小镇边缘徒步进行的艰苦冒险中开始的。为了在腹地内找到这块地界，首席建筑师陈奕礼(Cherng Yih Lee)艰难地走过了几英亩废弃的油棕榈种植园，这似乎是该地区奶牛场为数不多的几个剩余草地之一。地点的确切位置在第一天仍未确定，因为船员们感到迷失在农业景观中起伏的大山中，随着该地区城市住房发展计划的启动，这一景观将很快消失。

Text description provided by the architects. The journey to site began in an arduous adventure on foot at the edge of a small tropical town. In a bewildered quest to locate the site boundary within a hinterland, the lead architect Cherng Yih Lee trekked through acres of abandoned oil palm plantations and on what seemed to be one of the few remaining grasslands for a dairy farm in the locality. The exact location of site remained unidentified on the first day as the crew felt disoriented amidst large, undulating hills within an agricultural landscape that will soon disappear as development plans for urban housing in the area has been set in motion.

在研究该遗址时，出现了一种不寻常的景观格局。当时盛行的棕榈油树在一片土地清理工程中保存下来的橡胶树周围形成了边界。这一事件启发了随后的设计过程。

Whilst studying the site, an unusual landscape pattern emerged. The prevailing palm oil trees had formed a border around an area of what was later known to be a cluster of rubber trees preserved during the land-clearing works. This incident inspired the ensuing design process.

人类经验的设计先于实际建筑的设计。在这段旅程中，人们发现了一个被遗忘的地方。通往画廊的道路是在保存下来的橡胶森林的一端找到的，因为游客们被鼓励在一个蜿蜒而高架的金属平台上穿过树木。由于建筑物的红色正面醒目，人们总是可以在森林后面隐约看到它。然而，它的形象从来都不是确定的，也不是完全揭示出来的。进入森林小路就像进入一个黑暗的洞穴。相反，当你走进大楼的画廊时，会看到一个巨大的白色山洞。

The design of a human experience preceded designing the actual building. This is a journey in which one discovers a forgotten place. The path to the gallery is found at one end of the preserved rubber forest as visitors are encouraged to find their way through the trees on a winding and elevated metal platform. Due to the building’s striking red facade, one can always vaguely see it behind the forest. However, its image is never certain nor fully revealed. Entering the forest path is akin to a entering a dark cave. Conversely, one sees a huge white cave when walking into the building’s gallery.
