架构师提供的文本描述。汤普森展览馆是为神秘海港、美国博物馆和海洋设计的，作为19英亩河滨校园的主旨建筑。该项目的任务是改造海港的北端，以大大提高展览空间的质量，并为游客提供更强劲的全年体验。

Text description provided by the architects. The Thompson Exhibition Building was designed for Mystic Seaport, Museum of America and the Sea, as a keynote building for the 19-acre riverfront campus. The project’s mission was to transform the north end of the Seaport to greatly enhance the quality of exhibition space and to offer a more robust year-round experience for visitors.

这座建筑位于海港以前面向室内的展览空间集中的地方，形成了新的唐纳德·C·麦格劳画廊四合院。这个可社交的绿色环境，可以看到神秘河的全景，为从户外音乐会到即兴野餐等活动提供了一个吸引人的场所。

The building is located where the Seaport’s previous indoor-oriented exhibit spaces were concentrated, and forms the new Donald C. McGraw Gallery Quadrangle. This sociable greensward, with a panoramic view of the Mystic River, provides an appealing venue for activities ranging from outdoor concerts to impromptu picnics.

除了一个5，000平方英尺的展览馆，天花板很高，可以用来展示船只，这座建筑还包括游客接待和活动空间、一家零售店、一家咖啡厅和可俯瞰神秘河的室外露台。节能元件、地热采暖和冷却也被纳入了设计中.

In addition to a 5,000-square- foot exhibition gallery with a high ceiling for displaying boats, the building features visitor reception and events space, a retail shop, a café and outdoor terraces overlooking the Mystic River. Energy-efficient components and geothermal heating and cooling are also incorporated in the design.

灵活的展览空间以高耸的天花板和可拆除的墙壁为特色，以容纳各种不同大小的物体和各种装置，从水艇到无价的美术作品和以画廊为基础的教育项目。河滨集合室适合于建筑的西侧，可以重新配置为会议、额外的画廊空间或教育项目，增加了新建筑的多功能性。

The flexible exhibition space features soaring ceilings and demountable walls to accommodate objects of varying size and installations of all types, from watercraft to priceless works of fine art and gallery-based educational programs. A riverfront gathering room graces the west side of the building and can be reconfigured for conferences, additional gallery space, or educational programs, adding to the new building’s versatility.

汤普森展览馆有一个环绕的甲板，让游客享受河畔的环境，并作为一个俯瞰四合院绿色。

The Thompson Exhibition Building incorporates a wraparound deck that allows visitors to enjoy the riverside setting and serve as a covered overlook to the Quadrangle green.

总的来说，这座建筑代表了我们所认为的“海洋的几何学”-海洋生物的螺旋形状，海洋膨胀的动力运动，海浪在海岸上的碰撞，风帆的波涛，以及木制船体的航行。木材是这些目的理想材料，因为它可以经济地包围一个大的，清晰的空间，同时形成复杂的有机几何。

Overall, the building stands for what we came to regard as “the geometry of the sea” – the spiral shape of sea life, the kinetic movement of ocean swells, the crash of waves on the shore, the billow of sails, and the faring of wooden hulls. Wood was the ideal material for these purposes because it can economically enclose a large clear-span space while forming complex organic geometries.

总体的意图是一个木结构的体积，这将表明船体的内部建筑。为了在一个新的四合院北边支撑一个长长的门廊，木制的柱子和柱子会产生帆船桅杆和桅杆的效果。栏杆电缆和旋转扣提供详细的甲板周围，使船舶的索具。

The intention overall was a wooden structured volume that would suggest a hull’s interior architecture. To support a long porch along the north edge of a new quadrangle, wooden columns and struts give the effect of sailing vessels’ masts and spars. Railing cables and turnbuckles provide detail around the deck to conjure ship’s rigging.

对于建筑物的结构，使用弯曲的胶合层压木肋表示帆船的顶部木材，弯曲构件描绘船体的形状。在肋之间的木灰带来了形成船体的皮肤的心皮。道格拉斯冷杉(Douglasfir)被规定为胶合层压的结构构件，因为一旦西部森林被打开，新的英格兰船舶建造者在内战之后是首选的。

For the building’s structure, curved glued-laminated wood ribs were utilized to imply a sailing ship’s top timbers, the curving members that delineate a hull’s shape. Wood purlins between the ribs bring to mind planking that forms the skin of a hull. Douglas Fir was specified for the glued-laminated structural members as it was the species New England ship builders preferred after the Civil War once the western forests had been opened up.

建筑物的整体形状也是为了回忆自然现象，就像风推动的波浪撞击海岸。在它的内部，弯曲的结构肋骨在两端向内一直向下一直到地板上，暗示着海洋生物的螺旋脊椎骨。

The building’s overall form was also designed to recall natural phenomena, too, like a wind-driven wave crashing onto the shore. On its interior, the curled the structural ribs at either end inward all the way down to the floor to suggest the spiraling vertebrae of marine creatures.
