与天津滨海文化中心一起，滨海-中国东部大都市天津的新街区-迎来了一个新的文化中心。该项目的特殊任务是GMP对这个文化区的总体规划，包括博物馆、剧院和活动建筑，这些都是由各种国际考古学家的实践设计的。这五个文化机构之间有一个“文化交汇处”，由一系列倒置的伞状结构覆盖。

With the Tianjin Binhai Cultural Center, Binhai—the new quarter of the eastern Chinese metropolis Tianjin—has received a new cultural center. The special task of this project was gmp’s masterplan for this cultural quarter with its museums, theater, and events buildings, which were designed by various international archi- tects’ practices. The five cultural institutions are connected by a “cultural concourse” that is covered by a series of inverted umbrella-like structures.

该建筑位于天津滨海文化中心西北角，科学对面。

The building occupies the north-western corner of the Tianjin Binhai Cultural Center opposite the Science & Technology Museum. The 26,500 square meters of gross floor area of the Museum of Modern Art is arranged over five floors. A cladding of light-colored natural stone panels has been used on the facade of this cube- shaped building. The number of slot-like story-high windows on each floor increases towards the top. Towards the road and the covered “cultural concourse”, the stone envelope is opened up with a stepped glass facade that recedes story by story and, as well as marking the main entrances, provides views to the inside allowing visitors glimpses of the art.

设计的理念是建立在一个古典博物馆建筑的基础上；两个对称的展厅两侧是一个中心区域，里面有正式接待区、拍卖室和多功能厅等功能。从西面的道路入口，一条宽阔的楼梯通向二楼有接待区的中央门厅，与天津滨海文化中心的文化交汇处位于同一层。从文化广场入口，游客通过中庭直接到达接待区。

The concept of the design is based on a classical museum building; two symmetrical exhibition wings flank a central area which houses functions such as the formal reception area, an auction room, and a multifunc- tional hall. From the road entrance in the western facade, a wide staircase leads to the central foyer with reception area on the second floor, which is at the same level as the cultural concourse of the Tianjin Binhai Cultural Center. From the cultural concourse entrance, visitors reach the reception area directly via an atrium.

未来，博物馆将在三层楼展示当代艺术家的作品。在类似阁楼的展区，移动墙元素可用于细分空间，并创建不同大小的房间，以适应每个特定展览的内容。这种灵活的布局和清晰的7米的房间高度使得展示更大的装置成为可能。吊顶上悬挂着照明框架，这为展区提供了灵活的照明.此外，还有聚光灯，可以变化多端的定位，以突出具体的独立展品。

In future, the museum will show the work of contemporary artists on three of its floors. In the loft-like exhi- bition areas, the mobile wall elements can be used to subdivide the space and create rooms of varying sizes to suit the content of each particular exhibition. This flexible layout and a clear room height of seven meters make it possible to exhibit even large installations. Lighting frames are suspended from the ceiling, which pro- vides flexible lighting for the exhibition areas. In addition, there are spotlights that can be variably positioned in order to highlight specific freestanding exhibits.

大楼五楼设有行政功能。办公室、会议室和工作人员区被安排在两个屋顶花园周围，为相邻的空间提供日光，并可在休息时间供工作人员使用。

The fifth floor of the building accommodates the administrative functions. Offices, conference rooms, and staff areas have been arranged around two roof gardens that provide daylight to the adjacent spaces and can be used by staff at break times.
