架构师提供的文本描述。航空展览馆是运输和技术博物馆(MOTAT)历史飞机收藏的主要博物馆设施。它的设计是为了扩建奥克兰博物馆梅奥拉路遗址上现有的航空建筑。3300平方米的展期将使非杀伤人员地雷首次能够在受保护的环境中容纳它们的所有航空展品，其中一些是世界上唯一剩下的例子。

Text description provided by the architects. The Aviation Display Hall is a major new museum facility for the Museum of Transport and Technology (MOTAT)’s collection of historic aircraft. It was designed to extend the existing aviation building on the museum’s Meola Road site in Auckland. At 3300m2, the extension will enable MOTAT to house all of their aviation exhibits, some of which are the only remaining examples in the world, in a protected environment for the first time.

这座建筑的设计已被确定为对机库形式的木材解释。不寻常的是，该结构的大小，几乎完全是由层合单板木材(LVL)，并利用LVL门框独特的能力，以涵盖飞机的大翼展。这座建筑的内部宽度为42米，是新西兰所有LVL木结构中最大的净跨度。

The building’s design has been resolved as a timber interpretation of the hangar form. Unusually for its size, the structure is almost entirely fabricated from Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL), and uses the unique capacities of LVL portal frames to encompass the large wingspan of the aircraft. At 42 metres internal width, the building has the largest clear span of any LVL timber structure in New Zealand.

为了展示这架具有历史意义的飞机，航空展厅内设有一个内聚焦的“黑匣子”展览空间，而外部则提供了来自街道正面的建筑形式和内容的视觉表达。自然通风的北面玻璃，浮在突出的屋顶下，揭示了结构的节奏和画廊墙以外。这两条腿的入口被用来在建筑的北面创造第二个充满光线的走廊空间，这也是一个12米高的热烟囱，支持自然通风策略。在建筑物的南面，这些双脚被用来定位阁楼，教室和支持空间内的主要展览空间。

Designed to showcase the historic aircraft, the Aviation Display Hall houses an inwardly-focussed ‘black box’ exhibition space, while the exterior provides visual expression of the building’s form and contents from the street frontage. The naturally ventilated northern façade glazing, floating beneath the projecting roof, reveals the rhythm of the structure and the gallery wall beyond. The double legged portals are exploited to create a second light-filled gallery space on the north of building that also acts as a 12m high heat chimney, supporting the natural ventilation strategy. On the south of the building these double legs are utilised to locate the mezzanine, classroom and support spaces within the primary exhibition space.

建筑物结构的构造是以反映建筑物内展品技术的方式表达的。木材贴面衬里，可持续选择，与木材结构的重要性，为建筑带来温暖和优雅，并提供对比纹理背景的飞机。

The tectonics of the building’s structure are expressed in a manner that reflects the technology of the exhibits it houses. Timber veneer linings, selected on a sustainable basis, echo the materiality of the timber structure, bringing warmth and grace to the building and providing a contrasting textural background to the aircraft.

从一开始，可持续设计措施就一直是总体设计方法的一个组成部分，自建成以来，航空展厅获得了若干可持续发展奖。该建筑物位于前垃圾填埋场，有效地利用了可循环利用的土地。高层和低档的执行器控制窗户和百叶窗提供自然通风，这意味着不需要机械空调。寿命周期分析，包括对各种结构选择的相对碳平衡和具体能量的实证研究，是在结构材料选择之前委托进行的。这支持在建筑物中使用LVL。当局采用雨水收集系统为厕所设施提供服务，并因应工地的普遍情况，推行气体管理策略。

From the outset, sustainable design measures have been an integral part of the overall design approach, and since its completion, the Aviation Display Hall has won a number of Sustainability awards. Situated on a former landfill, the building effectively makes use of recycled land. High and low level banks of actuator controlled windows and louvres throughout the building provide natural ventilation, meaning that no mechanical air conditioning is required. Life cycle analysis, including empirical research into relative carbon balance and embodied energy of various structural options, was commissioned prior to structural material selection. This supported the use of LVL in the building. A rainwater harvesting system is employed to service the toilet facilities, and gas management strategies were also implemented in response to prevailing site conditions.
