架构师提供的文本描述。穆欣一生是一个复杂而鼓舞人心的人物。他是一位著名的抽象山水画艺术家，诗人和作家。这座博物馆的设计灵感来自艺术家作品的复杂性，以及他的作品的复杂性，这是他一生在不同文化之间的存在所塑造的，无论是在他的祖国还是在他的收养国。穆欣不仅受到个人和外部动荡的影响，他的成长年代也是如此。但也包括他在20世纪70年代初文革期间被拘留和自我放逐到西方。在这些经验和古典教育的影响下，穆欣不仅在他抽象的山水的唤起性多层次绘画中创造了空间，而且在他的作品中也创造了空间。通过这一作品，艺术家展示了精神在真实物理约束下的不受约束的扩张。穆欣的作品体现在一系列相互连接的浮房和混凝土外部的建筑设计中，唤起了柔和的水彩笔触。

Text description provided by the architects. Throughout his life Mu Xin was a complex and inspiring figure. He was a celebrated artist of abstract landscapes and paintings, poet and writer. Our design of this museum is inspired by the complexity of the artist’s work, as well as his writing, which was shaped by his lifelong existence between cultures, both in his native and adoptive countries.  Mu Xin was not only affected by personal and external turmoil surrounding his formative years, but also by his detention during the Cultural Revolution in the early 1970’s and his self-exile to the West. Influenced by these experiences and his classical education, Mu Xin created space not only in the evocative multilayered painting of his abstract landscapes, but also in his writings. Through this work, the artist demonstrates the unfettered expansion of the mind within real physical constraints. The reflection of Mu Xin’s work is illustrated through the design of the building as seen in the series of interconnected floating rooms and the concrete exterior, which evokes gentle watercolor brush strokes.

在这个项目开始的时候，我们仔细地考虑了博物馆的位置和位置，考虑到了穆欣家乡乌镇的历史保存，以及多年来孕育了这座城市灿烂文化的京杭大运河。在乌镇，一个人经历了一个由数个世纪的运河，街道，市场，庭院，桥梁和阳台组成的浓密的景观。从这座有着1000年历史的古老水乡的城市结构看，博物馆本身就是一个相交的景观。一系列与运河和“街道”不同截面关系的彩色建筑混凝土体积，将这些体验作为独特的画廊和程序元素，邀请游客在“景观”中漫步。

At the beginning of this project, we thought carefully about the location and siting of the museum, taking into account the historical preservation of Wuzhen, Mu Xin’s hometown, and the ancient Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal which over the years helped to nurture the splendid culture of the city. In Wuzhen, one experiences a dense landscape of centuries old canals, streets, markets, courtyards, bridges and verandas. Taking a cue from the urban fabric of this 1,000 year old ancient water town, the museum itself is a landscape of intersecting experiences.  A series of cast in place colored architectural concrete volumes in varying sectional relationship to the canal and “street,” house these experiences as singular galleries and program elements inviting visitors to wander through the “landscape.”

随着体积、“街道”边界和水边交汇所创造的空间质量不断变化，游客不仅在物理领域，而且作为通往穆欣复杂世界的桥梁，体验到了空间的扩张。

 With the ever changing quality of the spaces created by the intersection of the volumes, “street” boundaries and the water’s edge, the visitor experiences an expansion of space not only in the physical realm but also as a bridge into the complex world of Mu Xin.
