架构师提供的文本描述。浙江美术馆拥有优越的自然环境，坐落在碧绿的玉皇山脚下美丽的西湖畔。

Text description provided by the architects. The Zhejiang Art Museum boasts a superb natural environment, nestled comfortably near the banks of the beautiful West Lake at the foot of the verdant Yuhuang Mountain.

博物馆的设计力求找到中国书法、水墨画、更广阔江南地区(长江以南)传统建筑与西方古典雕塑之间的通感，以实现自然与人文环境的和谐与统一，具有现代美学思想。

The museum’s design sought to find the synesthesia between Chinese calligraphy, ink paintings, the traditional architecture of the wider Jiangnan region (south of the Yangtze River), and classical Western sculpture, so as to achieve a harmony and unity of the natural and human environments, with modern aesthetic ideas.

建筑的质量沿着山的形状展开，逐渐延伸到湖面，使建筑的有节奏的升降轮廓与山一起伸展，并融入自然环境的背景。

The mass of the architecture is spread out along the shape of the mountain and extends gradually to the lake so that the rhythmic rising and falling profile of the building stretches in concert with the mountain, and merges into the background of the natural environment.

黑色屋顶构件与浅白墙形成鲜明对比，采用多重交替坡顶的施工技术，似乎巧妙地体现了江南建筑特色，在形似与不似之间的微妙空间中，展现了江南文化的文化品质和意义，就像一幅水墨画。

The black-colored roof components stand in contrast to the pale-white wall, and the construction technique of using multiple alternating sloping crests seems to subtly express Jiangnan architectural features, in a delicate space between likeness and unlikeness, where the cultural quality and meaning of Jiangnan culture is unveiled as if in an ink painting.

同时，通过使用钢、空心夹层玻璃、石材和其他现代材料，通过运用现代技术，并通过交替使用过渡金字塔屋顶，与建筑的水平块轻轻地碰撞，这种结构仍然能够保持一种现代性和雕塑的美感。

Meanwhile, the structure still manages to retain an aesthetic sense of modernity and sculpturalism by using steel, hollow laminated glass, stone, and other modern materials; by applying modern techniques; and through the use of the transitional pyramidal roofs in alternating patterns, gently clashing with the horizontal blocks of the architecture.

The museum is located between Yuhuang Mountains and West Lake with scattered landscapes; the museum is built by people, yet it looks like a splendid work of nature.
