架构师提供的文本描述。嘉丁纳博物馆是世界上最杰出的陶瓷艺术机构之一，也是加拿大唯一的同类博物馆。它还被指定为多伦多的文化复兴项目。这个更新项目与街对面的安大略皇家博物馆和布洛尔街西拐角处的皇家音乐学院一起，将为这座城市形成一个新的文化区。更新建立在原来的结构之上，由基思·瓦格兰(KeithWagland)于1984年设计。第三层的扩展和扩大原来的足迹，街道创造了一个更大胆的形象，为嘉丁纳，同时尊重亲密的规模，原来的建筑被赞赏。

Text description provided by the architects. The Gardiner Museum is one of the world's preeminent institutions devoted to ceramic art, and the only museum of its kind in Canada. It is also designated as one Toronto’s cultural renaissance projects. The renewal project, together with the Royal Ontario Museum across the street and the Royal Conservatory of Music around the corner on Bloor Street West, will form a new cultural precinct for the city. The renewal builds on top of the original structure, designed by Keith Wagland in 1984. The third floor expansion and extension of the original footprint to the street creates a bolder image for the Gardiner, while respecting the intimate scale for which the original building was admired.

以前的粉红色花岗岩外部被抛光的白色石灰石所取代，使嘉丁纳与相邻的新古典主义莉莉安·马西和安妮女王风格的玛格丽特·艾迪森建筑的历史正面和门类对话。博物馆的正面完全重新美化了一系列平台，把嘉丁纳带到街上，并为休闲和正式聚会创造了一系列诱人的室外空间。

The former pink granite exterior was replaced with polished buff limestone, setting the Gardiner in dialogue with the historic facades and pediments of the adjacent neo-classical Lillian Massey and Queen-Anne style Margaret Addison buildings. The front of the museum was completely re-landscaped with a series of terraced platforms that bring the Gardiner to the street, and create a series of inviting outdoor spaces for casual and formal gathering.

策略性增加约14，000平方米，使博物馆能够主办国际展览的当代作品，并展示不断扩大的永久藏品。地下停车场的适应性再利用，挖掘了一米，创造了非常需要的空间，以容纳教育工作室和馆长空间，以支持嘉丁纳不断发展的受欢迎的社区外联计划和研究活动。这一设计还极大地提高了博物馆的创收潜力，新开了一家面向皇后公园的零售店、可出租的多功能活动空间，以及由杰米·肯尼迪经营的一家目的地餐厅。

The strategic addition of approximately 14,000 sqf allows the museum to host international exhibits of contemporary works, and to showcase the expanding permanent collection. The adaptive reuse of the underground parking garage, excavated by one meter, creates much-needed space in which to accommodate educational studios and curatorial spaces to support the Gardiner’s evolving popular community outreach programs and research activities. The design also greatly enhances the museum’s revenue-generating potential with a new retail shop that faces Queen’s Park, rentable multi-purpose event space, and a destination restaurant managed by Jamie Kennedy.

现有的计划被完全重新配置，以定义从地面到新的第三层以提升顺序展开的画廊的旅程。窗户和露台的位置可以为游客提供以前无法想象的女王公园、多伦多大学和市中心天际线的景观。

The existing plan was completely reconfigured to define a journey through the galleries that unfolds in ascending order, from the ground to the new third floor. Windows and terraces are positioned to offer visitors previously unimagined vistas of Queen’s Park, the University of Toronto, and the downtown skyline.
