多论坛Siqueiros画廊

Polyforum Siqueiros Galleries

多论坛文化Siqueiros是大卫阿尔法罗西奎罗斯的杰作，他是三位伟大的墨西哥壁画家之一，与迭戈里维拉和何塞克莱门特奥罗斯科。这是一个文化、社会和政治设施，在其世界论坛上有壁画“人类的三月”。这座建筑被认为是一颗巨大的钻石，里面和外面都是壁画，被认为是世界上最大的壁画，有8000多平方米的壁画。

The Polyforum Cultural Siqueiros is the masterpiece of David Alfaro Siqueiros, one of the three great Mexican muralists, together with Diego Rivera and Jose Clemente Orozco. It is a cultural, social and political facility that houses the mural "The March of Humanity", in its Universal Forum. A building conceived as a giant diamond, it is completely covered in mural painting inside and out, and is considered the largest in the world, with more than 8,000 square meters of mural painting.

建筑和画廊由建筑师Joaquin Alvarez Ordóez、Guillermo Rossel de la Lama和Ramón Mikelajáuregui和Siqueiros于1967年共同构思。PolyForum是一家资源非常有限的私人机构，获得了墨西哥一家大型油漆制造商的赞助，以改造其底层的圆形画廊。自1971年成立以来，这些建筑从未翻修过。

The building and galleries were conceived by the architects Joaquín Alvarez Ordóñez, Guillermo Rossel de la Lama and Ramón Mikelajáuregui, together with Siqueiros in 1967. The Polyforum, a private institution with very limited resources, obtained sponsorship from a major Mexican paint manufacturer to remodel its circular galleries on the ground floor. These had not been renovated since its inauguration in 1971.

我们的干预被减少到从画廊中移除元素，而不是一个适当的设计项目。我们摆脱了原来的深蓝色工业地毯，覆盖地板和楼梯，并取代了它的白色光泽环氧整理。墙壁粗糙的粒状结构取代了光滑的白色光洁度。吊顶的同心圆环被拆除，只剩下两个结构环。原来的木制假天花板、长凳和楼梯都是经过砂磨和涂漆的。将内部与外部分隔开来的透明玻璃被覆盖在半透明的镀光层上，以容纳画廊空间，使参观者专注于展览。在这些修改之前，外部太分散了对内部全景的注意力。

Our intervention was reduced to removing elements from the galleries rather than a proper design project. We got rid of the original dark blue industrial carpet that covered the floor and stairs and replaced it with a white glossy epoxy finish. The coarse granular texture of the walls was substituted for a smooth white finish. The dropped ceiling concentric rings were removed and only two of the structural rings were left. The original wooden false ceiling, bench and staircases were sanded and varnished. The clear glass dividing the interior from the exterior was covered with a translucent matte coating in order to contain the gallery space and make the visitor focus on the exhibitions. Previous to these modifications, the exterior was too much of a distraction on the interior panorama.

我们创造的唯一的“设计作品”是椭圆形的接待处，它突出了圆形画廊的动态空间，并邀请游客前往展区。它充满活力的红色光泽的结束，旨在对比相当成熟和宁静的空间，也是对西奎罗斯的积极和充满活力的笔触的特点，他的艺术。

The only “design piece” we created is the elliptical reception desk which accentuates the dynamic space of the circular galleries and invites the visitor to proceed towards the exhibition areas. Its vibrant red glossy finish, is meant to contrast with the rather mellow and tranquil space, and is also a tribute to Siqueiros´s aggressive and energetic brush strokes that characterize his art.
