架构师提供的文本描述。总部位于科罗拉多州的罗斯·谢泼德建筑师被雇佣为丹尼尔·利贝斯金德的丹佛艺术博物馆重新设计博物馆商店。最初的商店销售不佳，步行流量有限，开创了这个项目。罗斯谢泼德建筑师接受了在可识别的建筑内工作的挑战，并创造了一个空间，不仅看上去，而且大大增加了博物馆商店的销售。

Text description provided by the architects. Colorado based Roth Sheppard Architects were hired to redesign the Museum Shop for the recognizable Denver Art Museum by Daniel Libeskind. The original shop’s poor sales and limited foot traffic initiated the project. Roth Sheppard Architects took the challenge of working within the recognizable building, and created a space that not only looks the part, but has significantly increased sales for the museum shop.

丹佛艺术博物馆自1893年以来一直以这样或那样的形式存在。北楼于1971年启用，汉密尔顿大楼于2006年完工。从那一年开始，DAM商店的盈利能力就表现不佳。罗斯谢泼德建筑师被要求重新评估12，000平方英尺一楼，以确定大坝商店的新位置。经过多次研究后，建筑师和博物馆都决定把水坝商店放在入口处附近的一个公共空间里。

The Denver Art Museum has been around in one form or another since 1893. The North Building opened in 1971 and the Hamilton Building was completed in 2006. DAM Shop’s profitability was under performing from that year on. Roth Sheppard Architects was asked to reevaluate the 12,000 square foot first floor in order to determine a new placement of the DAM Shop. After many studies, both the architects and the museum decided to place the DAM Shop in a public space near the entrance.

这7000平方英尺的空间尊重建筑的原意，只是增加了利贝斯金提出的想法。大坝背后的概念是“两行跳舞”，Roth Sheppard建筑公司在大坝商店内保持了两条流通线，由商品展示来定义。其中一条是购物线路，另一条是通往未来克莱福德博物馆的道路(由同盟国的作品组成)。第二条路径从最初的设计中保留下来，并且与购物路径相交，但它本身是不受干扰的。

The 7000 square foot space respects the building’s original intentions and merely adds to the ideas set forth by Libeskind. The concept behind DAM was “two lines dancing” and Roth Sheppard Architects has maintained two lines of circulation within the DAM Shop, defined by the merchandise display. One of the paths is a shopping circuit, while the other is a path to the future Clyfford Still Museum (by Allied Works). This second path was retained from the original design, and intersects with the shopping path but is uninterrupted on its own.

为了代替传统的封闭商店，水坝商店被一堵玻璃墙创造性地隔开了。这面墙为参观者提供了充足的空间，让他们可以滑入这一空间，同时也是商店的橱窗展示。这堵墙倾斜，在商店和博物馆之间形成了一条微妙的线。

In lieu of a traditional closed off store, the DAM Shop is creatively separated by just a wall of glass. This wall allows ample space on both sides for visitors to glide into the space, and also serves as a window display for the shop. The wall is canted and creates a subtle line between the shop and the museum.

大坝商店似乎很自然地适合利贝斯金设计的建筑。不仅视觉上的变化很难被注意到，而且自从重新设计之后，商店的表现也有了明显的改善。第一季度销售额增长了25%以上，体现了罗斯·谢泼德建筑师的才华，以及分析在设计中的重要性。

The DAM Shop appears to fit naturally into the Libeskind designed building. Not only is the visual alteration difficult to notice, but the shop has performed significantly better since its redesign. A sales increase of over 25 percent in its first quarter speaks to the talents of Roth Sheppard Architects, and the importance of analysis in design.
