五、将保育与教育结合起来

伦敦豪沃思·汤普金斯(Haworth Tompkins)的建筑师们监督了这座二级上市的Blythe House的五年改造-最初由亨利·坦纳爵士(Sir Henry Tanner)在1899年至1903年期间设计，作为邮局储蓄银行的总部，横跨六层楼。

霍沃斯·汤普金斯(Haworth Tompkins)超越了建筑装饰的爱德华·巴洛克风格的外墙，致力于室内工业感觉的现代化。负责该项目的格雷厄姆·霍沃斯(Graham Haworth)解释说，这一过程的目的是创造一种强化的“幕后”研究体验，让储存和保护要素变得更加清晰。因此，我们看的是工作室的模式，而不是展览室或策划空间；例如，20世纪50年代迪奥的工作室，20世纪60年代的伊夫·圣·洛朗(Yves St.Laurent)的工作室。

世界一流设施的中心是该项目升级的保护工作室和宽敞的公共书房，为游客、设计师和研究人员提供无与伦比的V型通道。

哈沃思·汤普金斯于1991年成立，很快在文化教育项目中找到了自己的立足点，包括翻修和扩建伦敦图书馆(世界上最大的独立借阅图书馆)、皇家艺术学院的新萨克勒大楼、国家剧院演播室和巴特西艺术中心。

鼓舞人心的互动，在布莱斯，参观者现在可以直接窥视保护房间-砖块已被拆除和更换玻璃，而面板已安装在屋顶，以提供丰富的自然光。这与前南肯辛顿兔子沃伦的保护者们大相径庭。在一张办公桌上，当我们参观时，1890年的一座洋娃娃之家正在进行翻新，它的羽毛框架椅子被沉溺于一些急需的室内装潢工作中，而在另一座上，一件1912年的漂亮连衣裙正在修复中。

楼下，新的接待区也被蒸汽卷进了21世纪。这座建筑最初是为男女分开设计的，以防止工作场所的性别混合。现在它的特色是从地板到天花板的玻璃橱柜，展示爱德华多·帕洛齐(Eduardo Paolozzi)的“二十世纪流行文化的疯狂凯特·阿尔基夫”系列。

V解释说：“我们希望到新的服装工人中心参观的游客能有同样的学习纺织品和时装的经验，就像他们看美术时一样。”

Blythe House's impressive ornamental Edwardian Baroque-style exterior façade. Originally designed by Sir Henry Tanner between 1899 and 1903, the building was formally the headquarters of the Post Office Savings Bank

At the centre of the world-class facility is the project's spacious Public Study Room, offering visitors, designers and researchers unparalleled access to the V&A's vast 104,000-object collection

'The brief was to create an enhanced "behind the scenes" study experience, where the storage and conservation elements were made explicit,' explains Graham Haworth, of Haworth Tompkins, who led the project

'We amplified the setting through the introduction of new elements using reflective materials, dark coloured timbers and bright gold metals to complement the strong, slightly austere glazed brickwork, quarry tiling and parquet flooring,' continues Haworth

'We wanted the study room area to have a formal grandeur and scale similar to a reading room in a library, or a salon in a fashion house,' adds Haworth. This image also shows the dedicated hanging space, designed to store and protect tapestries

Haworth Tompkins worked to modernise the interior's industrial feel, retaining the existing structure and internal columns

The next consideration was the facility's impressive 500 linear metres of custom-built storage, featuring drawer and hanging space

The storage archive runs the length of two football fields across two floors and includes space for 1,280 large rolled textiles from 1.5 to six metres long; 500 linear metres of storage for hanging garments; and 7,000 drawers in six different sizes to house everything from dress fabrics to religious robes, handbags to walking sticks, and embroidery to underwear

Each item is tagged with an archive code, photo and description that's also entered into the V&A's immense online database

Acting as a working storage facility and resource, the V&A's director Martin Roth explains his aim for the project: 'We want visitors to the new Clothworkers' Centre to have the same experience studying textiles and fashion as they do when viewing fine art'

The building was originally designed with separate entrances for either sex to prevent gender mixing in the workplace. This image shows the building's restored central stairwell

The light, state-of-the-art Conservation Rooms are a far cry from the conservationists' former South Kensington rabbit warren

Encouraging interaction, visitors are now able to peer right into the Conservation Rooms. Bricks have been removed and replaced with glass, while panels have been installed in the roof to offer an abundance of natural light

Downstairs, the new reception area has also been steam-rolled into the 21st century. It now features floor-to-ceiling glass cabinets currently displaying Eduardo Paolozzi's 'Krazy Kat Arkive of Twentieth Century Popular Culture' collection
