架构师提供的文本描述。坐落在弗吉尼亚州里士满弗吉尼亚联邦大学校园边缘，新的当代艺术学院连接大学与周围的社区。在里士满大街和贝尔维德尔街最繁忙的交汇处，这座建筑以一种诱人的开放感形成了通往大学的大门。主入口由表演空间和论坛的交汇处形成，在交叉口的“X-Y”运动中添加一个垂直的“Z”分量。在“分叉时代”，这些相交物体的扭转由一个“现在的平面”连接到画廊。

Text description provided by the architects. Sited at the edge of the Virginia Commonwealth University campus in Richmond, Virginia, the new Institute for Contemporary Art links the University with the surrounding community. On the busiest intersection of Richmond at Broad and Belvidere Streets, the building forms a gateway to the University with an inviting sense of openness. The main entrance is formed by an intersection of the performance space and Forum, adding a vertical “Z” component to the “X-Y” movement of the intersection. The torsion of these intersecting bodies is joined by a “plane of the present” to the galleries in “forking time.”

“分叉时代”的思想表明，在当代艺术世界中，有许多平行的时代。一个持续时间的概念及其对历史的“宏大叙述”受到质疑。新成立的当代艺术学院由四个画廊组成，每个画廊都有不同的特色。灵活性允许四个单独的展览，一个连续的展览，或组合。画廊可以关闭安装，而不影响其他流通。一个人可以通过四个画廊开始序列，通过乘坐超大的电梯到顶部并盘旋下来，或者从论坛的较低的画廊开始，然后向上移动。外露的混凝土梁和木板在画廊补充混凝土地板。作为灵活的空间，画廊可以接受悬挂的艺术或锚定在楼板上的项目。

The idea of “forking time” suggests that in the world of contemporary art there are many parallel times. The notion of one ongoing time and its “grand narrative” of history is questioned. The new Institute for Contemporary Art is organized in four galleries, each with a different character. Flexibility allows for four separate exhibitions, one continuous exhibition, or combinations. Galleries can be closed for installations without affecting the circulation to the others. One can begin the sequence through the four galleries by taking the oversized elevator to the top and circling down, or by beginning at the lower gallery of the Forum and moving up. Exposed concrete beams and planks in the galleries complement the concrete floors. As flexible spaces, the galleries can accept suspended art or projects anchored to the floor slab.

沿着“当下平面”的垂直运动连接了画廊、表演空间、雕塑花园和论坛。沿着这座建筑长廊，所有建筑元素的整合都可以在改变观点的过程中得到体验。

Vertical movement along the “plane of the present” links the galleries, the performance space, the sculpture garden and Forum. Along this architectural promenade, the integration of all the building elements can be experienced in changing views.

 Ground Floor Plan

这座41，000平方英尺的建筑有一个双面：一边是从城市向外开放，另一边是从雕塑花园到论坛，把城市和校园连接起来。在地面上，咖啡厅直接打开雕塑花园，地面的画廊也是如此。枢轴门允许打开事件溢出到花园。花园里铺着青石和砾石，种上了银杏树。一个巨大的反光池的循环水塑造了这个花园的感觉，作为一个“思考场”。

The 41,000-square-foot building has a double front: one side opens from the city, the other from the sculpture garden to the Forum, linking city and campus. On the ground level, the café opens directly onto the sculpture garden, as does the ground-level gallery. Pivot doors allow opening events to spill out into the garden. Paved in bluestone slabs and gravel, the garden is planted with gingko trees. A large reflecting pond of recycled water shapes the sense of this garden as a “Thinking Field.”

 Second Floor Plan

二层平面图

这座建筑是一种围绕着外部和内部的时间运动的体验。这座建筑是从西方(从大学)步行而来，是在变化的视角的视差中展开的。当你走的时候，脚下的砾石的嘎吱作响，伴随着一种逐渐打开的视野，展现了论坛。如果你从北、东、南乘汽车到达，扭转中的双垂直几何标志着一个通道的存在，当汽车经过时它会改变形状。晚上，朦胧的玻璃发光的平面激活了外部。视频投影可能出现在这些晦涩的玻璃墙上，用艺术使室外空间充满活力。

The building is an experience of movement in time around the exterior as well as the interior. Approaching on foot from the west (from the University), the building unfolds in the parallax of changing perspectives. As you walk, the crunch of gravel under your feet is complemented by a view that gradually opens to reveal the Forum. If you arrive by car from the north, east, or south, the double-vertical geometry in torsion marks a gateway presence, which changes shape as the car passes by. At night, glowing planes of obscure glass activate the exterior. Video projections may appear on these obscure glass walls, animating the outdoor space with art.

240个座位灵活的表演空间为电影、戏剧、舞蹈和音乐表演提供了充分的设备.它连接了第一层和第二层，从画廊俯瞰提供了视觉和表演艺术之间意想不到的视图。

The 240-seat flexible performance space is fully equipped for film, theater, dance, and music performances. It connects the first floor with the second, where an overlook from the galleries provides an unexpected view between visual and performing arts.

 Section: Auditorium

节：礼堂

外部的哑光半透明玻璃和预先风化的钛锌皮具有相同的绿色-灰色色调，使建筑物的存在，从单一的不透明到多样化的半透明，视光线而定。四个屋顶花园包括一个第二层的雕塑平台，供特定地点的艺术家安装.LEED黄金建筑是用地热井加热和冷却的，在冬天收集同样数量的能量来加热建筑物，就像它在夏季为建筑物降温一样。

The exterior matte translucent glass and pre-weathered titanium zinc skin share the same greenish-grey tonality, giving the building a shifting presence, from monolithic opaque to multifarious translucent, depending on the light. The four rooftop gardens include a sculpture terrace on the second level for site-specific artist installations. The LEED Gold building is heated and cooled with geothermal wells, harvesting the same amount of energy during the winter to heat the building as it restores in the summer to cool the building.

当代艺术学院将成为连接大学和里士满市的一个新的门户和催化剂。以其诱人的双正面论坛开放给一个宁静的雕塑花园，它将为最重要的尖端当代艺术展览提供空间能量。在VCU一流的艺术学院的推动下，ICA的建筑是一种工具，用于展览、电影放映、公开演讲、表演、专题讨论会和社区活动，吸引大学、城市和其他方面的参与。

The Institute for Contemporary Art will be a new gateway and catalyst, linking the University and the city of Richmond. With its inviting double-fronted forum opening to a serene sculpture garden, it will provide spatial energy for the most important cutting-edge contemporary art exhibits. Propelled by VCU’s top-ranked School of the Arts, the ICA's architecture is an instrument for exhibitions, film screenings, public lectures, performances, symposia, and community events, engaging the University, the city, and beyond.
