架构师提供的文本描述。新的9000 SF，300万美元的祖克曼艺术博物馆将以前分散在肯纳索州立大学校园内的藏品合并成一个设施，其中包括永久收藏和临时展览的画廊空间，以及藏品储存、工作人员办公室和支助设施。肯纳索州立大学将其博物馆设想为不仅是校园社区的文化资源，也是亚特兰大区的文化资源，后者是学校的一项新事业。因此，这座建筑必须有一个大胆的建筑声明，并成为游客的标志性建筑。大学领导层还明确寻求一种结构，以对比和活跃以压倒多数的米色和红砖现有校园的低调设计。

Text description provided by the architects. The new 9,000 SF, $3,000,000 Zuckerman Museum of Art has consolidated collections that were previously spread out across the campus of Kennesaw State University into a facility that includes gallery space for permanent collection and temporary exhibitions as well collection storage, staff offices, and support facilities. Kennesaw State University envisioned its museum as a cultural resource not only for the campus community but for the greater Atlanta area as well – the latter being something of a new undertaking for the school. Thus, it was essential that the building make a bold architectural statement, and serve as a landmark for visitors. The university leadership also explicitly sought a structure to contrast with and enliven the subdued design of the overwhelmingly beige and red brick existing campus.

在一个从主入口驱动器可见的站点上，这个概念通过其外观的戏剧性几何和透明度、其巨大的楼梯，并通过从校园的主导直线网格旋转来实现这些目标。这一倾斜的方向被现有的贝利表演中心的更大的质量所强调，而新的建筑就是与之相连的，它为624座表演厅提供了一个新的、扩展的接待和功能前空间。建筑的外部材料反映了立面后面的规划功能。主要公共空间面向北，并覆盖着幕墙，让自然光线进入雕塑亭，并在主展厅和房子后面活动时可以看到自然光。标记金属面板和抛光黑色混凝土砌体单位单板。白色金属面板在主入口上方轻微地向上折成一个轻微的屈膝礼，以保护游客在进入博物馆时不受恶劣天气的影响。金属面板的图案旨在回忆音乐作品的元素，特别是艺术、文学、建筑和自然中的斐波那契数列。

On a site visible from a principal entrance drive, the concept achieves these goals with the dramatic geometry and transparency of its facade, with its monumental staircase, and by rotating off the campus’ dominant rectilinear grid. This angled orientation is emphasized by the larger mass of the existing Bailey Performance Center immediately behind, to which the new building is joined, and for which it provides a new and extended reception and pre-function space for the 624 seat performance hall.  The exterior materials of the building reflect the programmatic functions behind the façade.  The main public spaces face north and are clad in curtainwall to allow natural light into and views out of the sculpture pavilion while the main gallery and back of house functions are marked by metal panels and polished black concrete masonry unit veneer. The white metal panels fold slightly upwards above the main entrance into a slight curtsey that protects visitors from inclement weather as they enter the museum. The pattern of the metal panels is intended to recall elements of musical compositions and, in particular, the Fibonacci mathematical sequence found in art, literature, architecture and nature.

除了改变展览之外，博物馆还将是已故鲁思·祖克曼(Ruth扎克曼)大学重要雕塑收藏的场所。许多这些作品将很快被安装在花园中，游客将通过这些花园，当他们接近随着博物馆大楼的增加而建立起来的艺术综合体的时候。

In addition to changing exhibitions, the museum will be the venue of the university’s significant collection of sculpture by the late Ruth Zuckerman. Many of these pieces will be soon be installed in the gardens through which visitors will pass as they approach the arts complex established with the addition of the museum building.
