UCCA沙丘美术馆

UCCA Dune

在中国北部渤海湾昌黎县的沙滩上,OPEN设计了一座消隐的美术馆,如同藏于沙丘之下的神秘洞穴。海岸沙丘经历了漫长的时间累积和风沙推移而自然形成,并被原生低矮灌木深扎的根系固化下来。将美术馆选址于沙丘之下,既是对自然的敬畏,也是一种保护:因为沙丘美术馆的存在,这片沙丘将永远不会人为“被推平”,从而维护了千百年累积下来但十分脆弱的沙丘生态系统。

On a quiet beach along the coast of northern China's Bohai Bay,UCCA Dune is carved into the sand,where it gently disappears.Countless years of wind have pushed the beach's sand into a dune along the shore several meters high,stabilized by low-rising shrubs and other ground cover.The museum lies beneath this dune.Enveloped by sand,its interconnected,organically shaped spaces resemble caves-the primeval home of man,whose walls were once a canvas for some of humanity's earliest works of art.Hidden between the sea and the sand,the design of UCCA Dune is simple,pure,and touching-a return to primal and timeless forms of space.
