斯坦哈特自然历史博物馆

The Steinhardt Museum of Natural History

新的博物馆将成为特拉维大学自然历史类收藏品的新家，该建筑设计包合展览}口研究两种功能。通常未展出的收藏品都会放置在一个大木箱里——珍贵的植物和动物标本储存箱。设计师正是借鉴了标本箱这一形象，将建筑体打造成一个神秘的宝箱，邀请人们进入参观。盒子式建筑体象征着永恒，兼具历史与未来两种象征意义。建筑立面覆盖着工业木板，这样的设计可以保护收藏品，减少气候对藏品的影响。

As a new home for the spectacular natural history collections of Tel Aviv University, the building combines exhibition spaces and research activities. The collections, which were never before on display, were placed in a large wooden chest - a treasure box of valuable specimens of flora and fauna. The building enfolds the box and offers it to the public as an enigmatic object, invited to be explored. The box itself, which aspires to be of timeless qualities, concurrently ancient and futuristic, is covered with industrial wooden panels that highly insulate the collections and keep them under strict climate control.
