Snøhetta事务所重新为德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校布兰顿艺术博物馆进行了全面的场地设计，本案整合并合理利用了占地约 20 万平方英尺的博物馆园区，还包括两座建筑和Ellsworth Kelly的奥斯汀作品。

“布兰顿美术馆位于德克萨斯州议会大厦新建筑群交叉口的显要位置，同时也是通往大学的主入口，别出心裁的景观设计和设计构思充分利用和展现了这个重要的场地特点。”raig Dykers在布兰顿宣布本案的新闻稿中这样说。“Snøhetta事务所的设计将博物馆的世界级艺术收藏扩展到了博物馆画廊外，同时打造了引人注目的艺术公共场所。”

Snøhetta has created a comprehensive grounds redesign for The Blanton Museum of Art at The University of Texas at Austin. The initiative unified and revitalized the museum campus across approximately 200,000 square feet, including two buildings and Ellsworth Kelly’s Austin.
“The Blanton holds a prominent place at the intersection of the new Texas Capitol Complex, and it also serves as the gateway to the university campus. Our inventive landscape and reimagined building entrances fulfill that promise,” Craig Dykers said in the Blanton’s press release announcing the project. “Snøhetta’s design expands the museum’s world-class art collection beyond the museum’s galleries and creates a highly visible public place of–and for–the arts in Austin.”





布兰顿新场地的花园为奥斯汀创造了全新且有包容性的聚会空间，本案将南部以州首府为代表的城市公民核心精神与北部大学的历史肌理和特色整合在了一起。

The design of Blanton’s new grounds and gardens was guided by an overall goal of creating a new, inclusive gathering space for Austin, one that unites the civic core of the city represented by the State Capital to the south and the historic fabric and character of the University to the north.





未来的气候将更加恶劣和干旱，为了应对这些变化，建筑师调整了原来的结构和景观。花瓣状的雕塑树冠耸立在树干上，营造出阴凉的小气候环境，斑驳的光线追随着太阳的脚步。每个由穿孔板制成的花瓣高 40 英尺，直径达 30 英尺。配备了排水系统，水可以从上面的树冠通过柱子流到地面，使水渗透并被动灌溉到周围的土壤中。花瓣的穿孔外表光滑，内部凸起，有利于水流向排水系统，花瓣的弧形轮廓灵感来自博物馆外廊的拱顶，突出Ellsworth Kelly的奥斯汀和国会大厦的景观。建筑师对甲方和建筑管理者进行了沟通交流，这样有助于落实政府的政策和法规，坚持循环改造原则，虽然前期成本可能较高，但它们却能提供卓越的长期价值。优先考虑循环性的支持性激励措施、法规和更新的建筑标准有助于共同应对这些挑战。

With a climate future that will see more intense weather and drought, the project adapted the existing structures and landscapes for this change. Rising above the trees, a canopy of petal sculptures creates a shaded microclimate with dappled light that follows the sun. Standing 40 feet tall, each petal is made of perforated panels and spans 30 feet in diameter. It is equipped with drainage that moves water from the upper canopy through the column down to the grade, allowing for infiltration and passive irrigation into the surrounding subgrade. The perforations of the petals, while smooth on the exterior, are raised on the inside, moving water toward the drainage system. Their curving outlines, inspired by the arched vaults of the loggia that outline the museum, help highlight views of Ellsworth Kelly’s Austin and the Capitol.



景观、几何和艺术的交织，新花园重新定义了入口，从而明确了景观设计的愿景。布兰顿校区的植物根据各种环境条件精心挑选，总体目标是营造舒适、欢迎的氛围。

Through a choreography of planting, geometry, and art, the landscape vision is defined by a series of new gardens and entry points that knit the grounds together. The plantings for the Blanton campus were carefully selected through a variety of environmental considerations, with an overall desire to establish feelings of comfort, welcome, and support.



校园内新种植了 25,000 多株植物，这些植物经过实践证明在这里能够成功生长，具有气候适宜性且能维护场地内气候，以实用主义为基础。采用稍小尺度的多茎紫薇树中和了现有橡树的尺度，限定了广场的入口空间。Faulkner花园的植被最具表现力和活力，它们有着特殊的光影效果。

Throughout the grounds, more than 25,000 new plants, made up of species proven to succeed on the campus, have been added, underpinning the design goals with pragmatism around maintenance and climatic suitability. Wherever possible, existing vegetation was maintained – especially the character-defining oak trees growing along the margins of the grounds. Multi-stem crape myrtles step down the scale of the existing oaks, framing the entrance to the plaza. The Faulkner Garden sees the most expressive and dynamic vegetation with a wide range of sun and shade conditions and hydrologic character in its bounds.



为了强调艺术家的作品，著名古巴裔美国抽象画家Carmen Herrera的现场特定作品也经过重新设计，这是她的第一幅大型公共壁画。这幅壁画位于Michener画廊大楼门廊下的内墙上，横跨整个大楼，中间是博物馆的入口。Snøhetta事务所的景观设计突出了Carmen Herrera的公共壁画 “Verde, que te quiero verde ”的纹理和色彩，除了郁郁葱葱的植物和地形之外，还为听觉性质的作品设计了声音花园长廊。

To mark the museum’s mission of highlighting underrepresented artists, the redesign includes a site-specific work by renowned Cuban-American abstract painter Carmen Herrera, her first major public mural. Sited on the interior wall under the Michener Gallery Building’s loggia, it will span the length of the building, with the museum’s entrance in the middle. Snøhetta's landscape design carefully plays upon the texture and colors of Carmen Herrera’s public mural, Verde, que te quiero verde, with the lush plantings and topography in addition to a sound garden gallery for works of an auditory nature.



Moody中庭有两个表演舞台，增加了全新的景观、草坪和各种休闲座位区。草坪扩大了布兰顿各类流行活动和创新节目的空间，还为社区创造融汇艺术和音乐的中心。

The Moody Patio encompasses two adjacent stages for performances and includes new landscaping, a lawn, and a variety of seating areas. The lawn will amplify the Blanton’s popular and innovative programming, creating a center for the community to come together around art and music.
