由MAD建筑事务所设计的中国木雕博物馆近日于中国哈尔滨落成。这座银色金属表皮,长200米的博物馆跻身于高层住宅建筑群中，打破僵化的城市面具，赋予这个社区以新的文化特征。
MAD Architects unveiled the completed ChinaWoodSculptureMuseum located in Harbin, China. The 200-meter long building, sheathed in metal, sits nestled in a densely residential area, adding a cultural and surreal essence to the surrounding urban context.
这座长约200米的博物馆建筑犹如一股冰雪洪流，被冻结在位于城市中心的狭长基地上。受到北国特有的自然风貌的启发，总面积达13,000平方米的博物馆外形混沌而抽象，模糊了固态与液态之间的界限，寻找着“似是而非” 的生命特征。银色不锈钢板所覆盖的外表皮，戏剧性地在建筑上反映着周边的环境和变幻的光线。大量的实墙保证建筑很低的热损耗，三个裂开的天窗捕捉着北方的低纬度阳光，给室内的三个中庭空间带来充足的自然漫射光。博物馆的藏品包括具有地方特色的木雕作品，以及北方冰雪画。 而建筑也是对自然的再次阐释。 在当今的大规模城市建设中，木雕博物馆与自然的对话反而显示出一种超现实的姿态。这样的超现实也许可以打破僵化的城市面具，重拾当地的自然文脉，并赋予这个社区以新的文化特征。
Appearing so evident amidst a thriving metropolitan district of Harbin, China, spanning 200 meters in length, the ChinaWoodSculptureMuseum sits as a locational anomaly, seemingly out of place, surrounded by a densely populated Chinese-style neighborhood and residential complexes. The museum embodies some of the foremost conceptual and formal ideals that define the work of MAD, bringing out an expression and abstraction of nature to an otherwise quotidian surrounding. The boundaries between solid and liquid are blurred throughout this 13,000 sqm building, referencing the local natural scenery and landscape.
The building’s exterior is covered by polished steel plates, mirroring the surroundings and the changing light. The solid walls ensure minimal heat loss while the breaking and twisting motion of the emerging skylights splits the surface and allows in light from the low-hanging sun of northern China; this provides sufficient natural diffused illumination to the three halls on the interior.
The museum mainly houses local wood sculptures as well as paintings depicting the ice and snow of the regional scenery. In the context of the large-scale modern urban setting, the museum itself serves as a new interpretation of nature. The surreal interaction between the museum and the city breaks through the tedium of the urban shell, revitalizing the surroundings with a new cultural feature.
