大英博物馆世界保护与展示中心

British Museum WCEC

世界保护与展示中心将提供世界顶级的设施,以确保大英博物馆更好的为后代保管和研究藏品。[The WCEC]will provide world class facilities that will allow the British Museum to ensure the care and understanding of its collections for future generations. 背景BACKGROUND世界保护与展览中心（WCEC）是大英博物馆260年来最大的再开发项目。该中心位于布鲁姆斯伯里地块的西北角,它将设置新的主展厅、最先进的实验室和工作室、世界顶级的藏品库以及博物馆,为英国乃至全球提供藏品租赁的设施。设计面临的挑战是：既要体现时代特征和大英博物馆的国际水准,又要达到其作为一级保护建筑在遗产保护方面更为宽泛的制度和建筑要求。

The World Conservation and Exhibitions Centre （WCEC） is one of the argest redevelopment projects in the British Museum＇s 260 year history. Located in the north-west corner of its Bloomsbury estate, the Centre will provide a new major exhibition gallery, state-of-the-art laboratories and studios, world class storage for the collection, as well as facilities to support the Museum＇s extensive UK and international loan programme. The challenge was to produce a design that both expresses the contemporary role and world-class standing of the British Museum and also responds to the wider institutional and architectural legacy of this Grade I listed building.
