由以色列工作室Kimmel Eshkolot Architects设计的特拉维夫Steinhardt自然历史博物馆的展览空间，是一座表面凸起的高架木结构的建筑。

自自然历史博物馆开放以来，新博物馆成为以色列国家生物多样性研究中心。它包含一个可供公众访问的特拉维夫大学自然历史藏品之家，以及供博物馆科学家使用的研究实验室。

A bulging, elevated timber structure wraps the exhibition spaces of the Steinhardt Museum of Natural History in Tel Aviv, completed by Israeli studio Kimmel Eshkolot Architects.
Open since last week, the new museum becomes Israel's national centre for biodiversity studies. It contains a publicly accessible home for the natural history collections of Tel Aviv University, as well as research laboratories for use by the museum's scientists.

由Etan Kimmel和Michal Kimmel Eshkolot于1986年创立的工作室Kimmel Eshkolot Architects经投标后获得设计该建筑的机会。

自然历史博物馆位于大学植物园入口旁边。因此，建筑师创造了一个大胆的立面效果，以吸引路过的游客进入博物馆参观展览。

Kimmel Eshkolot Architects, the studio founded by Etan Kimmel and Michal Kimmel Eshkolot in 1986, was commissioned to design the building after winning an invited competition.
The location is right beside the entrance to the university's botanical gardens. This led the architects to create a bold statement, to attract passing visitors to venture inside.

事务所通过设计一个包裹建筑物角落的切面木结构来实现这一目标。它高出街道，横跨一个入口广场，同时也是植物园的入口大门。

They did this by creating a faceted wooden structure that wrap the corner of the building. Raised above street level, it traverses an entrance plaza that also serves as an entrance gate for the botanical gardens.

展览物品也在这个木结构空间范围之中。木结构采用工程木材覆盖，有助于让收藏品拥有独立空间，并保持其所需的一致气候环境。

外部饰面层的外露颗粒引入了一种自然表面的效果，可以软化其他几何形状带来的未来感。

The exhibition spaces are contained within this angular volume. It is clad in panels of engineered timber that help to insulate the collections and maintain the consistent climate they require.
The exposed grain of the outer veneer layer introduces a natural surface that softens the otherwise geometric and futuristic form.
 

“这些收藏品从未展出过，被放置在一个巨大的木箱中——这是其中一个珍贵的植物群和动物群标本。”建筑事务所说。

“博物馆大部分空间被木结构包裹着，以一个神秘的面孔展示在大众面前，吸引游客前往进行探索。”

"The collections, which were never before on display, were placed in a large wooden chest – a treasure box of valuable specimens of flora and fauna," said the architects.
"The building enfolds the box and offers it to the public as an enigmatic object, invited to be explored."

游客们在通往玻璃入口大厅的路上经过木结构下方，可以看到里面一些的藏品。这个入口区域包括商店和餐饮空间，两侧有拥有195个座位的礼堂。

从大堂出发，宽阔而平缓的斜坡引导游客穿过建筑，沿途也有一些展出的展品。

玻璃中庭让几个展览区域沐浴在阳光之下，而其他区域则隐藏在木结构之中。

Visitors pass beneath the wooden box on their way to a glazed entrance lobby that offers glimpses of the collections inside. This entrance area includes spaces for a shop and restaurant, and is flanked by a 195-seat auditorium.
From the lobby, a series of wide and gently sloping ramps takes visitors on a gradual journey through the building, providing views of some of the exhibits along the way.
The glazed atrium allows several of the exhibition areas to be illuminated by daylight, while others are tucked away in the controlled environment of the timber-clad box.

走道一直延伸到二层，游客可以从展览空间走出到露台俯瞰植物园景观。外部有一楼梯，可以从这个露台通往公共广场和花园入口。

三层包含了东翼的研究实验室和办公室，东翼通过一系列桥梁连接到木结构内部的集中区域。

The path continues up to the second floor, where visitors can step out from the exhibition spaces onto a terrace overlooking the botanical garden. External stairs lead down from this terrace to a public square and the entrance to the gardens.
The upper storeys contain the research laboratories and offices in an eastern wing, which is connected by a series of bridges to areas housing the collections inside the timber structure.

Kimmel Eshkolot Architects是以色列最出名的建筑事务所之一，并参与了几个主要公共项目的设计。事务所的其他作品包括在耶路撒冷的一座螺旋式纪念碑，它纪念了以色列的英勇事迹。
