与所有福戈岛艺术公司的艺术工作室一样，大桥工作室与传统的纽芬兰盐箱屋配对，这个盐箱屋位于深湾，是福戈岛最小的社区，人口为150人。

As with all the Fogo Island Arts Corporation’s Art Studios, Bridge Studio is paired with a tradi- tional Newfoundland Saltbox house, this one is located in Deep Bay, the smallest community on Fogo Island with a population of one hundred and fifty people.

桥梁工作室的盐盒屋是新粉刷的，与几个月前的破旧状况形成鲜明对比。一位当地的木匠正在为房子做最后的修饰，他指着项目的双层木框窗户说，这些窗户是在当地的木工场制作的，由Shorefast基金会发起和经营。

The Bridge Studio’s Saltbox House is a freshly painted, in sharp contrast to its dilapidated condition, only a few months previous. A local carpenter who is putting the finishing touches on the house, points out the project’s double-hung, wood frame windows that were crafted at the local woodshop, initiated and operated by the Shorefast Foundation.

从深湾别墅到大桥工作室的路程在地图上看起来很短。当然，在地面上则是另一回事，因为地形进入了等式，人们在这段美丽的海岸线上的地衣花岗岩露头的岩石景观中穿梭，通往大桥工作室，这是一个艺术工作室，由福戈岛艺术公司于2011年6月完成。

The trek to the Bridge Studio from the Deep Bay House looks short on a map. Of course, on the ground is a different matter as the topography enters the equation and one navigates the rocky landscape of the lichen clad granite outcroppings on this sublimely beautiful stretch of coastline leading to Bridge Studio, an art studio, completed in June 2011 by the Fogo Island Arts Corporation.

沿着蜿蜒的小路，人们会遇到一些短小的木质楼梯和坡道，这些楼梯和坡道安装在关键位置，以帮助游客登上一些较陡峭的坡道。走了大约20分钟后，大桥工作室的第一个标志是安装在山顶上的一个孤立的太阳能电池板（和电池外壳），以充分利用岛上有限的日照。这些太阳能电池为附近的大桥工作室发电，大桥工作室位于一个陡峭的山坡上，俯瞰着内陆池塘的平静水面，非常壮观。

Along the winding path one encounters short runs of wooden stairs and ramps, installed in critical locations to help visitors ascend some of the trail’s steeper inclines. After walking about twenty minutes, the first sign of the Bridge Studio is an isolated solar panel (and battery enclosure) mounted on a hilltop to take full advantage of the Island’s limited sunshine. These solar cells generate electrical power for the near-by Bridge Studio, dramatically located on a steep hillside overlooking the calm waters of an inland pond.

桥梁工作室给人的第一印象是它的抽象性。从侧面看，它就像一个没有窗户的木质外壳的平行四边形，盘旋在风景之上，由四个桥墩支撑着，并由一座16英尺的桥连接到邻近的山坡上。当人们走近这个320平方英尺的工作室时，它变得更加透明–有一个宽敞的玻璃入口和房间另一端的一个大方窗。

The first impression of the Bridge Studio is its abstract quality. From the side elevation, it ap- pears as a windowless wood-clad parallelogram, hovering above the landscape, propped up by four piers and connected by a sixteen-foot bridge to the adjacent hillside. As one approaches the three hundred and twenty square foot studio, it becomes more transparent – with a generous glass entry and a large square window at the other end of the room.

从玻璃入口处看去，入口处的天花板一直倾斜到房间另一端的大画窗的顶部。图画窗的窗台与一个内置的书桌齐平，是写作和沉思的完美场所。为了反映倾斜的天花板，大桥工作室的地板由两层组成。

Viewed from the glass entry, the ceiling from the entry slopes up to the top of a large picture window at the opposite end of the room. The picture window’s sill is flush with a built-in desk, the perfect place to write and contemplate the view. To mirror the sloped ceiling, the floor of the Bridge Studio is composed of two levels.

下层是一个入口区，有长长的柜台和烧木头的炉子，通过一个短的楼梯与上层区域分开。从入口处看，项目的视角通过排列在天花板、墙壁和地板上的四英寸的油漆云杉木板得到了加强。

The lower area, that accommodates an entry area, long counter and wood-burning stove is divided from the upper area by a short run of stairs. From the entry, the perspectival aspect of the project is augmented by alignment of the four-inch painted spruce planks that line the ceiling, the walls and floor.

从航拍照片上看，大桥工作室的孤立性变得很明显，这是一个高度克制的、略微扭曲的、细长的盒子，坐落在一个突出的岩石上，俯瞰着一个遮蔽的水塘。这种形式，虽然坚决是当代的，但让人想起纽芬兰传统的捕鱼台（在当地的术语中），一种木制的乡土建筑，是该省与鳕鱼渔业有关的传统建筑的典型。

From the aerial photographs, the isolation of the Bridge Studio becomes apparent, a highly restrained, slightly distorted, elongated box sited on an outcropping of rock, overlooking a sheltered pond of water. The form, although resolutely contemporary recalls a traditional Newfoundland fishing stage (in the local nomenclature) a wooden vernacular building, typical of traditional buildings associated with the cod fishery in the province.

正是在这些配备了切割台的捕鱼台中，渔民们将曾经丰富的鳕鱼清洗和腌制，并销往世界各地。有趣的是，大桥工作室呼应了这种乡土形式，曾经是纽芬兰省任何港口的典型景象。钓鱼台和鳕鱼让位于工作室和艺术生产。福戈岛艺术公司为一群有成就的艺术家创造了一个机会，使他们的艺术作品反过来丰富了国际当代艺术的舞台。

It was in these fishing stages, equipped with cutting tables, that fishermen would clean and salt the once plentiful codfish that was distributed worldwide. It is an interesting twist that the Bridge Studio echoes this vernacular form, once a typical sighting in any Newfoundland outport. The fishing stage and the cod give way to the studio and the production of art. The Fogo Island Arts Corporation creating an opportunity for a ros- ter of accomplished artists to generate works of art that in turn enrich the international scene of contemporary art.
