由美国建筑师史蒂芬•霍尔主持建设的休斯顿美术馆始于一个楔形体量，这将成为校园的新亮点。

这座164000平方英尺（15200平方米）的建筑的破土动工仪式于2017年6月1日举行。

Construction has begun on a wedge-shaped building by American architect Steven Holl for the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, which will provide a new entry point to the campus.
The ground-breaking ceremony for the 164,000-square-foot (15,200-square-metre) Nancy and Rich Kinder building took place 1 June 2017.

这是来自纽约的建筑师史蒂芬•霍尔第二次为这个14英亩的基地做设计，也是2018年即将开放的格拉塞尔艺术学校的替换项目。

这个艺术展馆分成了几个不同部分，顶部是曲线略有不同的屋顶。

It is the second of two structures that New York-based Steven Holl Architects is working on for the 14-acre (5.7-hectare) site, along with a replacement for the Glassell School of Art that will open in 2018.
The pavilion for modern and contemporary art is split into segments, topped with roof sections that each curve slightly differently.

事务所负责人说：“德克萨斯州的天空仿佛是新建筑上覆盖上的一个明亮的天篷。”

“像云朵一样的曲线形成屋顶几何，使完美的自然光滑进建筑内部成为画廊的顶级照明系统。”

"The Texas sky opens 180 degrees overhead above a luminous canopy covering the new building," said the firm.
"Concave curves, imagined from cloud circles, push down on the roof geometry, allowing natural light to slip in with precise measure and quality, perfect for top-lit galleries."

七个花园是建筑入口，其中最大的一个入口是位于德克萨斯市的毕所内特街和中央大街的交叉口，另外从苏珊美术馆和Fayez S Sarofim校园同样也能进入建筑。

地面基本上没有高差，同时半透明玻璃管将围绕着主体立面。

Seven gardens cut into the building's footprint, denoting entry points. The largest of these is located at the Texas city's Bissonnet and Main Street intersection, and will from a principle access to the Museum of Fine Arts' Susan and Fayez S Sarofim Campus.
The ground level will be largely transparent, while etched tubes of translucent glass will wrap around portions of the facades above.

这些半透明设备能让自然光进入建筑物，同时能够帮助减少太阳眩光，并且在夜间的室外能够看到梦幻般的发光效果。

建筑内部是一个三层通高的“公共”空间，这里展示了大型艺术品，阶梯式坡道和电梯将大堂区与两个楼层的画廊连接起来。

These will allow diffused natural light into the building and help reduce solar glare, while creating a glowing effect when seen from outside at night.
Inside, a triple-height "forum" space for exhibiting large-scale artworks will link the lobby areas with two levels of flexible galleries via a stepped ramp and elevators.

“在一个成熟的博物馆设计的核心是流线循环，为观赏者提供方向感和视觉盛宴。”设计团队解释说。

这座延伸至场地西北向的格拉塞尔学校的L形建筑将容纳一些工作室、礼堂以及学校团体的功能设施。

"At the heart of a great museum experience is circulation that provides orientation and visual relief," said the team.
Already well underway to the northwest, the L-shaped Glassell School of Art building will house studios, an auditorium and facilities for school groups.

预制混凝土结构板将与外部的半透明玻璃板相互结合，人们可以通过其倾斜的屋顶进入屋顶平台。

该设计在2015年1月首次亮相，霍尔在2012年的投标竞赛中击败了对手Morphosis和Snøhetta从而入围。

Its pre-cast concrete structural slabs will alternate with translucent glass panels on the exterior, and its sloped roof will be topped with a terrace.
The campus redesign was first unveiled in January 2015, after Holl beat finalists Morphosis and Snøhetta in an international competition in 2012.

霍尔在1976年成立了自己的建筑设计事务所，目前在Dezeen热搜榜排名52。

他最近在纽约郊区完成了一个艺术家别墅，并在爱荷华大学完成了自己的视觉艺术大楼。他目前在宾夕法尼亚和上海从事文化项目建设。

Holl, who established his firm in 1976, ranked at number 52 on the inaugural Dezeen Hot List.
The architect recently completed an artist's hideaway in Upstate New York, and opened his Visual Arts Building at the University of Iowa. He is currently working on cultural projects in Pennsylvania and Shanghai.
