架构师提供的文本描述。西外滩博物馆位于上海市徐汇区黄浦江畔，原为煤炭运输码头。在设计开始之前，一座长约110米、宽10米、高8米的煤斗卸荷桥于20世纪50年代建造，目前还保留着一座两年前建成的两层地下停车场。

Text description provided by the architects. Long Museum West Bund is located at the bank of Huangpu River, Xuhui District, Shanghai Municipality, the site of which was used as the wharf for coal transportation. Before the commencement of the design, a Coal-Hopper-Unloading-Bridge of about 110m in length, 10m in width and 8m in height, which was constructed in the 1950s, is remained with a two-storey underground parking completed as early as two years ago.

 Structure Plan

新设计采用“穹顶伞”、独立墙的悬臂结构，自由布置的剪力墙嵌入原地下室，与原框架结构配合使用。有了剪力墙，原来停车场的第一层地下空间变成了一个展览空间，上面的空间突出了多个方向，这是由于“穹顶伞”在不同方向上的相对连接，另外还有电气方面的问题。

The new design adopts the cantilever structure featuring “vault-umbrella” with independent walls while the shear walls with free layout are embedded into the original basement so as to be concreted with the original framework structure. With the shear walls, the first underground floor of the original parking has been transformed to an exhibition space with the overground space highlighting multiple orientations because of the relative connection of the “vault-umbrella” at different directions; besides, the electrical & mechanical system has been integrated in the “vault-umbrella” structure. As to the overground space covered by the “vault-umbrella”, the walls and the ceiling feature as-cast-finish concrete surface so that their geometrical dividing line seems faint.

这种结构不仅能在构象上屏蔽人体，而且建筑物的内部空间也可以表现出一种原始的、无变形的魅力，而空间尺寸的大小，以及模板与螺栓孔之间的接缝的铸光混凝土表面也带来了一种现实性。这种“字面”结构、材料和空间的直截了当和简单，加上大规模悬垂风格所带来的力量感或轻盈感，使整个建筑不仅在时间上而且在空间上都能延续原址的工业产权。

Such structure cannot only shield the human body in conformation, moreover, the building’s internal space can also represent a kind of primordial and tameless charm while the spatial dimension, large or small, and the as-cast-finish concrete surface with the seam among moulding boards and the bolt holes bring a sense of reality as well. The directness and simplicity resulting from this “literal” structure, material and space plus the sense of force or lightness because of large-scale overhanging style enables the overall building’s continuation of the industrial property of the original site, not only in time but in space.

地面浇铸混凝土“穹顶伞”下流动的展览空间和地下一层“白盒”展览空间与螺旋梯向下连接。古代、现代和当代的平行张力突出了空间、原始而现实的空间和艺术展览，展示了一个具有时代性的展览空间。

The flowing exhibition space under the overground as-cast-finish concrete “vault-umbrella” and the “white box” exhibition space on the first underground floor are connected with spiral ladders downward. The parallel tensility highlighting the space,primordial but realistic, and the art exhibition from the ancient, modern and contemporary periods, has displayed an exhibition space featuring the temporality.
