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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
