美国建筑事务所Ma从马蹄铁，编织篮和崎岖的景观中得到启发，并将这些元素融入到亚利桑那州凤凰城大都会的西方遗产博物馆设计中。

西方博物馆位于斯科兹代尔，这是一个以高档住宅和高尔夫球场闻名的城市近郊城市。由赖特在1937年设计并开设的西塔里埃森居住区和学校也在这里。

US firm Studio Ma has drawn inspiration from horseshoes, woven baskets and rugged landscapes for its design of a Western heritage museum in the metropolis of Phoenix, Arizona .
The Museum of the West is located in downtown Scottsdale, a suburban city known for its upscale homes and golf courses. Also located there is Taliesin West, the residence and school designed by Frank Lloyd Wright that opened in 1937.

该博物馆希望成为整个艺术区的核心，因此它展示了一些有关美国西部艺术和文化的新的或旧的文物。博物馆紧邻着历史性的小尺度的建筑，这些建筑主要用作商店、餐厅和画廊。

尽管已经将此构想为一个博物馆设计，但建筑事务所还是能够关联地区多样化的属性，比如从牛仔文化到自然景观。

Intended to be the centrepiece of an arts district, the museum showcases artefacts – both old and new – related to arts and culture in the American West. The museum sits near historic, low-scale buildings that contain shops, restaurants and galleries.
While conceiving the museum's design, the firm turned to various attributes of the region, from its cowboy culture to striking natural landscapes.

“Ma建筑事务所的设计灵感来自多样化的西部元素，包括马蹄铁、编织篮和标志性的红色断崖以及科罗拉多高原的台地，”凤凰城的这所事务所说道。

这座两层建筑包含了讲解室、永久性画廊和流动展厅以及一个用于集会和展示的多功能厅。

"Studio Ma's design takes its inspiration from a variety of icons of the West, including the horseshoe, the woven basket and the characteristic red cliffs and mesas of the Colorado Plateau," said the Phoenix-based studio that was founded in 2003.
The two-storey building houses interpretative spaces, galleries for permanent and travelling exhibitions and a multi-purpose room for gatherings and presentations.

建筑结构采用了暴露的钢结构和向上倾斜的混凝土板，混凝土板是由大小不同的木板支模浇筑的。

建筑的上部采用耐候钢进行覆盖，也形成了雨幕系统。“金属板的设计是采用了折叠板自投影以及利用规定尺寸以减少浪费，”事务所说道。

The structure consists of an exposed steel frame and tilt-up concrete wall panels, which were formed using random-sized wood boards.
The upper portion of the building is clad in a rainscreen made of weathering steel. "The metal panel design is a series of folds that self-shade and utilise a nominal sheet size to minimise waste," the firm noted.

上层的画廊空间通过一个封闭的桥梁进行连接，在这里人们可以欣赏到该城市最迷人的自然景观之一的骆驼背山的美景。

公共空间像“围绕在长钉周围的马蹄铁”，该空间占据了中心庭院周围的一系列空地。庭院不仅将阳光引入博物馆内，也让参观者回忆起“色彩斑斓且极具传奇色彩的西部风光”。

Public spaces – laid out "like a horseshoe around a spike" – occupy a series of volumes that wrap a central courtyard. In addition to bringing natural light into the museum, the courtyard is meant to remind visitors "of the colourful and dramatic quality of the Western landscape".
Galleries on the upper level are connected by an enclosed bridge that offers views of Camelback Mountain, one of the city's most distinctive natural features.

事务所在建筑室内设计上采用了质朴的材料，比如柱子上都包裹上了风化的道格拉斯冷杉，以及用红色雪松板装配的一整面墙壁和接待桌。

在多功能厅中，天花板上悬挂了一个“起伏的胶合吸声云”，而且隐藏式的吸声毯也由当地采购的棉花制成的。

The firm used earthy materials throughout the interior, including columns inlaid with etched Douglas fir, and a large wall and reception desk fabricated of red cedar.
In the multipurpose room, an "undulating plywood cloud" is suspended from the ceiling and conceals acoustical blankets made of locally sourced cotton.

该建筑包含许多可持续发展的功能，比如三个可以收集雨水的生物滤地带以及一个可以调节湿度的高效的机械系统。

“通过革新的加湿设计，建筑在节能和节水上有显著的效果，与该地区标准的博物馆相比，可以节约38%的净能源。”建筑事务所说。

The building has many sustainable features, such as three bioswales that collect rainfall and a high-efficiency mechanical system to introduce humidity.
"A significant reduction in energy and water use was achieved via an innovative humidification design, producing a net-energy-use reduction of 38 per cent compared to a typical museum in this region," the firm said.

凤凰城（美国第六大人口城市）最近的其他项目，包括由Ennead设计的采用了砂岩和玻璃外观的法律学校以及Höweler + Yoon建筑事务所设计的用于城市公园遮阴的折叠金属顶。

Other recent projects in Phoenix – the sixth most-populous city in the US – include an Ennead-designed law school with a sandstone and glass exterior and a folded metal canopy by Höweler + Yoon that shades an urban park.
