FXFOWLE reveals Statue of Liberty Museum for New York's iconic landmark

FXFOWLE建筑事务所最近公布了在自由女神像旁边建设一座新的博物馆的计划。这座新博物馆将以绿色屋顶和俯瞰纽约港的观景平台为特色。

位于自由岛的这座占地26000平方英尺的建筑将会给参观者提供资料和展览，在9.11恐怖袭击之后，博物馆内部的雕塑是受限制的。

博物馆将位于标志性的铜雕像之后，这座雕像是由Gustave Eiffel设计的，他是一位法国的工程师，与1886年设计完成的埃菲尔铁塔齐名。

Architecture firm FXFOWLE has unveiled plans for a new museum beside the Statue of Liberty, featuring a green roof and viewing platform overlooking New York harbour (+ slideshow).
The 26,000-square-foot building on Liberty Island will provide information and exhibits for visitors, after access to the current museum inside the statue was restricted following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
It will be located behind the iconic copper statue, designed by Gustave Eiffel – the French engineer behind the eponymous Parisian tower – and completed in 1886.

FXFOWLE的设计包含了一个宽阔的外部楼梯，将游客带到屋顶上的观景平台，能观赏到雕像和曼哈顿的天际线。

屋顶的其余部分将覆盖草坪，其中一部分屋顶可以通过斜坡过渡到博物馆和标志性雕塑中间的圆形广场。

“从一开始，自由女神像博物馆的设计就作为公园的一个拓展，”FXFOWLE的伙伴Nicholas Garrison说，“设计目标是结合公园有条理的、轴向的计划，并应对其壮观的设置。”

FXFOWLE's design includes a wide external staircase that will lead to a rooftop viewing platform, providing views of both the statue and the Manhattan skyline beyond.
Grass will cover the remainder of the roof, including portions that will slope down to a circular plaza between the museum and the landmark.
"From the start, the design of the Statue of Liberty Museum was conceived as an extension of the park," said FXFOWLE partner Nicholas Garrison. "The goal was to engage with the park's formal, axial plan and respond to its spectacular setting."

新的价值7000万美元（5630万英镑）的结构将以防鸟撞玻璃墙和青铜覆层为特点。它的设计提高到500年一遇的洪水水位之上，且能够抵御飓风的袭击。

“岛上的风景被提升，并与建筑物融为一体，为博物馆创造出新的地质空间。”加里森说。建筑的形式和空间是由其周边景色与水岸来决定的，营造欢庆自由的氛围。”

在内部，由ESI Design举办的展览将包括与雕塑历史相关的内容和文物——一个来自法国的礼物。

The new $70 million (￡56.3 million) structure will feature "bird-safe" glass walls and portions of bronze cladding. It will be raised above 500-year flood levels and built to withstand hurricane force winds.
"The island's landscape is lifted and merged with the architecture to create space for the Museum in a new geology," Garrison said. "The building's angular forms and spaces are shaped by its views and the irregularity of the water's edge, celebrating liberty."
Inside, exhibits created by ESI Design will include contents and artefacts relating to the history of the statue – a gift from France.

“新自由女神像博物馆提供的顶级展览和包含最初的火炬雕像的标志性文物，确保后代了解、理解和欣赏所有自由女神在美国以及全世界所代表的意义，”自由女神像国家公园和埃利斯岛负责人John Piltzecker说。

自由女神-埃利斯岛基金会在雕像的百年纪念时修复了雕像，任命服装设计师Diane von Furstenberg 作为博物馆的建设和维护筹集1亿美元(8050万英镑)活动的主席。

"With state-of-the-art exhibitions and iconic artefacts including the statue's original torch, the new Statue of Liberty Museum will ensure that future generations know, understand, and appreciate all that Lady Liberty represents in America and around the world," said John Piltzecker, Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island superintendent.
The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation, which restored the statue for its centennial, has named fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg as chair of the campaign to raise $100 million (￡80.5 million) for the museum's construction and upkeep.

Von Furstenberg和丈夫Barry Diller也是Thomas Heatherwick设计的哈德逊河上正在建设的码头55公园的捐助者。

“自由女神是美国一切的象征：自由、希望、可能性和恢复力，”von Furstenburg说，“她是百万移民到达这个国家首先看到的事物，他们的心中充满了梦想和更加明亮的未来。”

Von Furstenberg and husband Barry Diller are also benefactors for the Thomas Heatherwick-designed Pier 55 park under construction over the Hudson River.
"Lady Liberty is the symbol of everything America is about: freedom, hope, possibility and resilience," said von Furstenburg. "It is she that millions of immigrants saw first as they arrived in this country, their hearts full of dreams for a brighter future."

“现在我的希望是自由女神像和它的不可思议的故事能够一直继续，在未来激励一代又一代人，”她补充到。

博物馆将于2019年开放，进入博物馆的门票将包括参观自由女神岛和埃利斯岛船票的价格。自由女神岛在建设期间保持开放。

"Now it is my hope that the Statue of Liberty and her incredible story will live on and on, inspiring generations for years to come," she added.
Access to the museum, due to open in 2019, will be included in the price of ferry tickets to visit Liberty Island and Ellis Island. Liberty Island will remain open to visitors during the construction period.
