受传统玛雅神庙建筑语言的启发，玛雅博物馆旨在体现对玛雅文化的当代诠释。

Inspired by the language of traditional Maya temple architecture, the Museo Maya de América is designed to embody a contemporary interpretation of Maya culture. 

“乍一看，这座建筑似乎是玛雅建筑元素的当代表达，”哈里古格工作室(HarryGugger Studio)校长哈里·古格(Harry Gugger)说。“它形成了一个独立的盒子，坐落在石块上，仿佛漂浮在地面上。”仔细观察后，错开的石屏风的图案被过度的对数所打断，这会吸引光线进入建筑物，并在建筑物内部提供一瞥。“

“At first glance, the building appears to be a contemporary expression of Maya architectural elements,” stated Harry Gugger, principal of Harry Gugger Studio. “It forms a monolithic box perched atop blocks of stone, as if floating above the ground. On closer inspection, a pattern of staggered stone screens is punctuated by over-scaled loggias that draw light into the building and offer glimpses inside.”

博物馆组织了6万平方米的活动，以确保最大限度的公众互动。通过将大部分地面层用于开放空间，画廊悬挂在上方，并通过一个中央庭院通过楼梯进入。这个庭院不仅连接地面与博物馆上方和地下停车场，而且它提供了一个展示“与地下有关的”文物的机会，因为游客向上流通。

The museum’s 60,000 square meters of program is organized to ensure maximum public interaction. By dedicating the majority of the ground level to open space, galleries are suspended above and accessed by stairs through a central courtyard. This courtyard not only connects the ground level with the museum above and underground parking below, but it provides an opportunity to display “underworld-related” artifacts as visitors circulate upwards.

“中央法庭让人想起了这座天坑，这是尤卡坦人特有的一种自然天坑，被玛雅人认为是神圣的，”Over的负责人Roberto de Oliveira Castro说。这座八层楼高的摩天大楼向天空开放，种植得光彩夺目，是博物馆、展览和活动的中心。

“The central court evokes the cenote, a type of natural sinkhole characteristic of the Yucatan and held sacred by the Maya,” stated Roberto de Oliveira Castro, principal of over,under. “Open to the sky and lushly planted, the eight-story cenote functions as the heart of the museum, its displays, and its activities.”

正如地面是专门为公众服务一样，绿化屋顶也是作为城市空间提供的。项目包括餐厅，户外画廊，花园和观景台，吸引游客，而一个综合雨水收集系统渠道和过滤的水，因为它的下降。这种元素的循环让人想起古代玛雅的做法。

Just as the ground level is dedicated to the public, the landscaped roof is provided as civic space. Programs including a restaurant, outdoor galleries, gardens, and viewing terraces, draws visitors up, while an integrated rainwater harvesting system channels and filters water as it moves down. This circulation of elements is reminiscent to ancient Maya practices. 

此外，建筑物的整体形式利用危地马拉的温和气候，使大部分空间自然通风。

In addition to this, the building overall form takes advantage of Guatemala's temperate climate and allows the majority of spaces to be naturally ventilated.
