Cheltenham Art Gallery
and Museum

  • 这是一个包含了翻新和扩建的项目，我们必须把一座现有画廊与博物馆，设计出带有其当地社区文化，而不失它用于展览艺术和人工制品的用途。博物馆和画廊主要用于收集、编排、展览和启发的作用。 各种各样的艺术和人工制品是有着奇妙的连系，如能把它们从新的组织在一起， 我们便可从中寻找到一些失去的历史文化。而“组织”就是我们这次所使用的设计元素。复杂的重叠层，交错近大楼的设计元素， 令到新的大楼外墙看似博物馆中长期内存起的展览箱堆积起来。 而如岩石地层的覆盖面便可用于展示信息、展览和招牌。 原有的大楼与室内的设计亦都使有了这同一个设计元素。

    平面设计围绕着于中新建的电梯和楼梯，制造出一个清晰地使用了中心空间来连结起所有楼层地设计。 以前的美术画廊和博物馆的楼梯与舒适设施都是分开的，但在新的设计中，我们将它们融合了，令到正座同时拥有美术画廊和博物馆的大楼内空间合为一体，感觉调和， 更可促进画廊和博物馆之间的互动。在新的设计中阳光能自然地被引入到大楼的中心， 亦包含了一条可把行人从繁忙的大街，直接到达一个宁静公园的小径，而途中他们必定会被大楼的展览品吸引住。设计方案中，亦将会把画廊与博物馆的各种各样组合，适当地组织和统合分成阶段地综合化。

  • How do you organise history and memories? We’ve taken inspiration from Sir John Soane’s Museum in London, from the work of Dada artist Kurt Schwitters, in particular his Merzbau,from Brancussi’s studio in Paris and from Early Victaorian Museums. They all embrace vitality and complexity in order to celebrate the contribution of individual collectors and artists.

    你是如何组织历史和记忆的呢？我们取材了约翰 | 索恩爵士于伦敦的博物馆，画家库尔特 | 施威特斯的作品，特别是他的马斯堡拼贴画艺术品。还有巴伦高斯设计室于巴黎和早期的维多利亚博物馆等作题材，他们都把自己的一生奉献给艺术与个人收藏

  • A renovation and extension to an existing gallery and museum with a particular local community feel filled to the brim with art and artefacts.

    This is a community gallery and functions as a community centre where people can drop into the cafe and feel connected to their history surrounding them. A gallery format of collage that encourages people to contribute to the ever evolving display. The layered effect of different patterns of collections emphasise the diverse collection sourced from everyday living to inspiring artworks.

    It is the function of museums and galleries to collect, to order, to display and to inspire. A process of organization appears -art and artifacts are linked and compared, timelines are told, history is revealed. Our building is an active participant in this organizing theme. Using a complex layering system with juxtaposed and intertwining building elements. The new facade evokes the image of museum display cabinets -stacked over time -layered like geological rock strata and overlaid with a collage of information, display and signage. Existing buildings are revealed and included as part of these objects on display. The interior also follows this theme.

    The plan is organised around one new lift and stair atrium: a clear central orientation space that connects all levels. Previously the art gallery and museum had separate stairs and amenities. It is the intension to unite these buildings into an intertwined whole by relocating and sharing the vertical circulation that allows for a stronger connection to all the spaces over multiple levels and promotes interactivity between the gallery and museum. Space is created by sharing the common stair and new amenities. Light will be embedded into the core of the buildings. A passage through from the busy street frontage to the quiet parkland hidden behind will encourage people through the building who will no doubt get distracted by an exhibition they’re intrigued by. The design allows for maximum integration of the various components of the gallery and museum into a properly organised and functionally unified whole acheived over a number of stages.
