架构师提供的文本描述。Kor a Icon博物馆的建筑最初是一座由柱和地板组成的建筑(Maison骨牌)，在阿尔巴尼亚共产主义垮台后被废弃。阿尔巴尼亚缉毒局工作室的sh.p.k。他们负责设计立面，Bolles Wilson随后被Kor a市要求为300个正统派图标设计和发展室内展览设计。

Text description provided by the architects. The building for the Korça Icon Museum was originally a structure of columns and floor slabs (maison domino) abandoned when communism collapsed in Albania. The Albanian office DEA Studio sh.p.k. were comissioned to design facades and BOLLES+WILSON were then asked by the municipality of Korça to design and develop an interior exhibition design for the 300 orthodox icons.

外墙上有小窗户的厚重的墙壁，其目的是要给出一个恰当的中世纪读物。里面的小窗户确实提供了一种合适的神秘气氛，但从观赏图标的角度来看，它们太亮了，需要一些内部遮掩，以避免小面积明亮的外部光线与周围环境形成太大的反差。

The heavy walls on the exterior with their small windows were intended to give an appropriate medieval reading. The small windows from the inside did give an appropriate mysterious atmosphere but in terms of viewing Icons they were too bright and needed some interior masking to avoid too much contrast between a small area of bright outside light and the surrounding.

展览或装饰化

Exhibition Orgaization 

给定的三个层次细分为地下室档案馆和地面实验室/管理。展览空间属于入口层和第一层，这里的内部概念为游客提供了一条特定的流通路线，并对公共空间和“房子后部”进行了绝对划分。出于安全考虑，这是必要的(公众不得进入正在从事图标工作的房间)。

The given three levels subdivide well into Basement Archive with ground level laboritories/administration. The Exhibition spaces belong on the entrance level and the 1st floor - here the interior concept proposes a specific circulation route for visitors and an absolute division between public spaces and ‘back of- house’. This is necessary for reasons of security (the public must not have the possibility to enter rooms where Icons are being worked on).

 Axonometric

入口层与一层之间的楼层已移除整个左手展览室。这使一个新的楼梯，方便一个简单和壮观的游客流通路线。这座新楼梯可以看到9.5米高的金色墙的全景-这堵墙选择了彼得堡悬挂系统-一堆图标，一幅覆盖整个墙的图片挂毯，给游客留下了科卡收藏那样大的印象。(鼓掌)

The floor between entrance level and 1st floor has been removed over the entire left hand exhibition room. This allows a new stair facilitating a simple and spectacular visitors circulation route. The new stair gives panorama views of a 9.5 metre high golden wall - for this wall the Petersburg hanging system was chosen - a close packing of Icons, a tapestry of images covering the entire wall, impressing visitors with the size of the Korca collection.

一系列房间

A Sequence of Rooms

内部概念发展强烈的个性区域定义的颜色(金色在左边，黑色马特和光泽黑色在中央的‘黑色迷宫“地带和红色为图标(祭坛屏幕)在右边。按顺序排列的房间精心编排，以达到最具戏剧性的效果：

The interior concept develops zones of strong individual character defined by colour (gold on the left, black matt and gloss black in the central ‘Black Labyrinth‘ zone and Red for the iconastas (Altar screen)on the right. The Sequential Rooms are carefully choreographed for the most dramatic effect:

(A)入口大厅-陈列和销售由Korca艺术家(一个新的地方产业)绘制的明信片、海报、当地手工艺品甚至小图标的货架抽象拼贴。

(a) Entrance Lobby - an abstract collage of shelves for merchandising, - postcards, posters, local handcrafts and even small Icons painted by Korca artists (a new local industry) are displayed and sold. 

(B)金色房间-一个两层高的金色屏幕(一个还包住侧壁，并从狭缝窗户上驯服自然光线)。屏幕上挤满了图标，游客们可以自由地散步，然后走到楼梯上，那里有一条信息扶手告诉他们在看什么。

(b) The Gold Room - a two floor high gold screen (one that also wraps the sidewalls and tames natural light from slit windows). The screen is packed with Icons.  Visitors promenade freely and then step up to the stair landing where an information handrail tells them what they are looking at.

(C)白色阳台-俯瞰金色房间，有一条厚重的黑色扶手和一堵白色(传统博物馆)后墙，可容纳一排小图标。这些会导致右边的开口。

(c) The White Balcony - overlooking the Gold Room, it has a heavy Black handrail and a white (conventional museum) rear wall for a row of small Icons. These lead to an opening on the right.

(D)黑迷宫-博物馆的中心区域特别黑暗和神秘，半影中漂浮着单独点燃的图标。墙壁是涂在拼贴的马特和光泽黑色和灰色，以加强拼贴效果。带有较低天花板和木地板的侧壁龛将独立悬挂的图标与观众紧密地联系在一起。

(d) The Black Labyrinth - the central zone of the museum is particularly dark and mysterious with individually lit Icons floating in the penumbra. Walls are painted in a collage of matt and gloss black and grey to enhance the collage effect. Side alcoves with lower ceilings and wooden floors bring individually hung Icons intimately close to viewers.

(E)红色沙龙-来自黑色迷宫的游客进入了一个感官空间，所有的表面都是红色的。中心区域是由一个10厘米高的平台来定义的，上面站着圣像塔(祭坛屏幕)。

(e) The Red Salon - from the Black Labyrinth visitors emerge into a sensual space where all surfaces are red. The central zone is defined by a 10cm high platform on which stands the iconastas (Altar screen).

(f) The final exhibition room is white with an illuminated ceiling - an ethereal space. The room displays the two most valuable icons from the 14h century.
