建筑师提供的文字说明。当代艺术博物馆

Text description provided by the architects. The Museum of Contemporary Art & Planning Exhibition (MOCAPE) is part of the master plan for the Futian Cultural District, the new urban center of Shenzhen. The project combines two independent yet structurally unified institutions: The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and the Planning Exhibition (PE) as a cultural meeting point and a venue for architectural exhibitions. The lobby, multifunctional exhibition halls, auditorium, conference rooms and service areas will be used jointly.

这两个博物馆都被设计成单独的实体，强调它们的个人功能和艺术需求，但却被一个由多功能立面包围的整体融合在一起。这种透明的立面和复杂的内部照明概念使人们能够深入了解建筑物之间的联合入口和过渡区域。从内部看，游客可以畅通无阻地欣赏到这座城市，这意味着他们在一个遮荫较轻的户外区域的某个地方，这一印象增强了6至17米高、完全开放和无列展区。

Both museums are designed as separate entities emphasizing their individual functional and artistic requirements and yet are merged in a monolithic body surrounded by a multifunctional facade. This transparent facade and a sophisticated internal lighting concept allow a deep view into the joint entrance and transitional areas between the buildings. From the inside, visitors are granted an unhindered view onto the city suggesting they are somewhere in a gently shaded outdoor area, an impression enhanced by 6 to 17 meter high, completely open and column-free exhibition areas.

在博物馆之间的入口区域后面，游客通过坡道和自动扶梯登上主层，进入“广场”，作为参观博物馆的出发点。从广场可以进入文化活动厅、多功能厅、几个礼堂和一个图书馆。

Behind the entrance area between the museums, visitors ascend to the main level by ramps and escalators and enter the “Plaza”, which serves as a point of departure for tours of the museums. From the Plaza the rooms for cultural events, a multi-functional hall, several auditoriums and a library can be accessed. 

一片银光闪闪，柔和变形的“云”作为广场的中心定位和入口元素。云在几层楼举办了许多公共活动，如咖啡馆、书店和博物馆商店，并通过桥梁和坡道将两个博物馆的展览室连接起来。云以其弯曲的表面进入了空间，反映了在一个屋檐下有两个博物馆的想法。

A silvery shining and softly deformed “Cloud” serves as a central orientation and access element on the Plaza. On several floors the Cloud hosts a number of public functions such as a café, a book store and a museum store and it joins the exhibitions rooms of both museums with bridges and ramps. With its curved surface the Cloud opens into the space reflecting the idea of two museums under one roof.

城市概念

The Urban Concept

MOCAPE单体完成了市中心总体规划的东部，填补了福田文化区北部的“青年活动厅”(YA)和南面的歌剧院建筑群之间的最后一个缺口。MOCAPE的主层位于地面10米以上，因此形成了一个类似舞台的平台，作为一个与相邻建筑物相统一的元素。

The MOCAPE monolith completes the eastern part of the master plan for the city center and fills the last gap in the Futian Cultural District between the „Youth Activity Hall“ (YAH) to the north and the opera-library complex to the south.Similar to other buildings in this district, the main level of the MOCAPE lies 10 meters above the ground level and so creates a stage-like platform, which acts as a unifying element with the adjacent buildings. 

皮肤、光和能量概念

Skin, Light and Energy Concept

外表由一层天然石制百叶窗和由隔热玻璃制成的实际气候外壳组成。这些元素形成一个动态的表面，其结构独立于博物馆建筑的安装框架。这个功能的外部包围了两个博物馆，一个垂直访问和娱乐元素(云)，公共广场，和多功能基地。

The exterior skin consists of an outer layer of natural stone louvers and the actual climate envelope made from insulated glass. These elements form a dynamic surface, which is structurally independent from the mounting framework of the museum buildings. This functional exterior envelops the two museums, a vertical access and entertainment element (Cloud), the public Plaza, and the multifunctional base.

建造技术设备的目的是减少外部能源的总体需求：无污染的系统和设施通过太阳能和地热能(采用地下水冷却系统)使用可再生能源，而且只实施了高能效的系统。博物馆的屋顶过滤了展厅的日光，减少了对人工照明的需求。

The technical building equipment is designed to reduce the overall need of external energy sources: Pollution free systems and facilities use renewable energy sources through solar and geothermal energy (with a ground water cooling system) and only systems with high energy efficiency have been implemented. The roof of the museum filters daylight for the exhibition rooms, which reduces the need for artificial lighting.

有了这些最先进的技术组件的结合，一个紧凑的建筑体积，隔热和有效遮阳的MOCAPE不仅是一个建筑地标，也是一个生态和环境友好的基准项目。

With this combination of state of the art technological components, a compact building volume, thermal insulation and efficient sun shading the MOCAPE is not only an architectural landmark but also an ecological and environmentally friendly benchmark project.
