架构师提供的文本描述。至少可以说，博物馆旅馆是一家不寻常的酒店。组成客房的白色圆形建筑，看上去就像在法国东北部树木繁茂的景观中穿插着空洞洞的太空吊舱。

Text description provided by the architects. The Museumotel is an unusual hotel to say the least. The group of white, round structures that make up the guest houses look like space pods crossed with hobbit holes, plopped down in the wooded landscape of northeastern France. 

室内空间更大：巨大的圆形窗户、滴水的支撑柱、弯曲的楼梯和拱形的门道是常见的特征。但是，虽然这些泡泡屋的设计很吸引人，也很独特，但博物馆旅馆背后的故事更是如此。

The interiors are even more spacey: huge circular windows, dripping support columns, curving staircases, and arched doorways are common features. But while the design of these bubble houses is fascinating and unique, the story behind the Museumotel is even more so.

1965年，酒店经营者M·蒂埃里读了一篇关于一位名叫帕斯卡尔·豪斯曼(PascalHausermann)的年轻建筑师的文章，他毕业于日内瓦大学。Hausermann是一种新型建筑的拥护者：他称之为“泡泡屋”，用混凝土建造的快速、廉价的住宅。

In 1965, hotelier M. Thierry read an article about a hip young architect named Pascal Hausermann; a graduate of the University of Geneva. Hausermann was a proponent of a new type of architecture: quick, inexpensive habitations made of concrete that he called “bubble houses”. 

Hausermann还对城市规划感兴趣，并在一生中倡导以新的方式组织居住住房。

Hausermann was also interested in urban planning and, throughout his life, advocated for new ways of organizing residential housing.

20世纪60年代中期，维维汽车旅馆正在建设中。

M.蒂埃里管理着Raon l‘E磁带的一家旅馆，在Lorraine的一个小公社。他感兴趣的是建造一家汽车旅馆，作为他主要业务的夏季附属设施。

M. Thierry managed a hotel in Raon l’Etape, a small commune in Lorraine. He was interested in having a motel built as a summer annex to his main business. 

汽车旅馆将由9座圆顶平房组成，与中央建筑分开，两边都被拉普莱恩河包围；道路通道将仅限于一座桥。这样做的目的是给酒店的客人一个“小村庄”，让他们住在酒店的另一端，在那里他们可以享受到更多的宁静和安宁。

The motel would be made up of a cluster of 9 domed bungalows set apart from the central building and surrounded on both sides by the La Plaine river; road access would be limited to a single bridge. The idea was to give hotel guests a sort of “small village” to stay in at the far end of the hotel’s property, where they could enjoy more peace and quiet.

Hausermann接受了这份工作，1966年，Vive汽车旅馆向成功人士开放。

Hausermann took the job and in 1966, the Motel de l’Eau Vive opened to great succes.

随后的几十年来，他们在维维汽车旅馆付出了巨大的代价。1980年，M·蒂埃里卖掉了他的旅馆和附属的汽车旅馆，那时豪斯曼的滑稽建筑风格已经过时了。一批业主试图维持企业的运营，但最终失败了。在他们最初受孕30年后，豪斯曼的泡泡屋在林地里慢慢地凋谢，慢慢地消失在无人照料的植被后面。

The ensuing decades took their toll on the Motel de l’Eau Vive. M. Thierry sold both his hotel and the attached motel in 1980, by which time Hausermann’s playful architectural style had fallen out of fashion. A succession of owners tried to keep the business going, but ultimately failed. 30 years after their initial conception, Hauserman’s bubble houses sat moldering in the woodlands, slowly disappearing behind untended vegetatio.

维维汽车旅馆经过多年的忽视，慢慢地解体了。

这家汽车旅馆在2003年成为私人住宅后免于衰败。Raon l‘E磁带镇，也许有点怀旧的地方，要求新主人开几个平房给公众，之后，业主决定出售财产完全。

The motel was saved from decay in 2003 when it became a private residence. The town of Raon l’Etape, perhaps a bit nostalgic for theold place, asked the new owner to open a few of the bungalows to thepublic, after which the owner decided to sell off the property completely. 

就在那时候，一群在酒店业有经验的人买下了这家酒店，并重新启动了这家汽车旅馆，他们重新命名为Museumotel：le motel d‘utopie。

That’s when a group of individuals with experience in the hospitality industry bought the property and relaunched the motel,which they re-named Museumotel: Le Motel d l’Utopie.

今日博物馆

Museumotel Today

Museumotel已经被完全翻新，并被提升到现代标准，尽管Hausermann的独特设计没有被触及。整个氛围是现代化的流行艺术，为时尚旅行者更新。每个“泡沫”的内部都被重新塑造成一个主题，并被命名为“爱情气泡”、“星空泡”、“五十年代气泡”和“禅宗气泡”。游客们对这家酒店的理念很满意，而且一次出租这些泡沫房屋已经有好几周甚至几个月了。

Museumotel has been fully renovated and brought up to modernstandards, though Hausermann’s distinctive design has been left untouched. The whole vibe is modernized pop art, updated for the hip traveller. The interior of each “bubble” has been redone in a theme and given a name such as “Love Bubble”, “Star Bubble”, “Fifties Bubble”, and “Zen Bubble”. Visitors are delighted with the hotel’s concept and have been renting out the bubble houses for weeks and even months at a time.

建筑师Hausermann似乎也对翻新后的Museumotel感到满意(看看这些照片，Hausermann在他的酒店前面在1967年和2009年)。尽管在法国和瑞士有很长的职业生涯，但博物馆仍然是他设计过的唯一家酒店。

Architect Hausermann also seems pleased with the refurbished Museumotel (check out these photos of Hausermann in front of his hotel in both 1967 and 2009). Despite a long career creating residences in France and Switzerland, the Museumotel remains the only hotel he ever designed.

Museumotel的故事之所以引人入胜，不仅是因为它跨越了几十年，还因为它展示了蒂埃里和豪斯曼在他们构思酒店时是多么的超前。

The story of Museumotel is fascinating not only because it spans decades, but also because it shows how ahead of their time Thierry and Hausermann were when they conceived the hotel. 

建立一家私人酒店的想法，可能现在看起来并不那么奇怪，但在1965年，这种想法远不寻常。Museumotel目前的成功确实表明，一个好主意总是流行起来的。这种想法由个别建筑组成，为客人提供空间，让他们在自己的私人空间里放松一下。

The idea of an intimate hotel made up of individual structures built to give guests room to relax in their own private space may not seem that strange now, but it was far from ordinary in 1965. The current success of Museumotel really does demonstrate that a good idea is always in fashion.

Museumotel仍然深受设计爱好者和建筑爱好者的欢迎。最近，一群来自附近一所技术学院的6名学生制作了一个1/2比例的泡泡房模型。它被送到了Museumotel，在那里它看起来像一个小气泡被用作儿童空间。

The Museumotel has remains popular among design enthusiasts and architecture lovers in the Raon l’Etape area. Recently, a group of 6 students from a nearby technical college made a 1/2 scale model of one of the bubble houses. It was delivered to the Museumotel, where it looks like the mini-bubble is to be used as a children’s space.
