库普斯墨赫美术馆扩建

MKM Museum Küppersmühle Extension

2008年,为容纳迄今为止最广泛的德国战后艺术的私人收藏--斯多赫收藏系列,库普斯墨赫美术馆(MKM)提出的扩建项目被提上日程。2013年,扩建项目在斯多赫家族的牵头下启动。赫尔佐格和德梅隆建筑事务受委托对当前条件下该场地的潜力进行了可行性研究,他们的成果将会带给扩建项目一个全新的开始。最初的扩建思路是在筒仓塔顶建造一个发光的立方体,使之于远处可见,现在被彻底抛弃了。取而代之的是,建立一座全新建筑,其材料和尺度依据码头沿岸的历史建筑砖块结构来呈现。新建部分以适宜得体的方式融入了码头建筑群,使既有的美术馆综合体成为了一个和谐优美的整体。乍一看,似乎新建筑一直都坐落在那里。

The extension project was activated in 2013,with the Ströher family as clients.A feasibility study undertaken by Herzog&de Meuron explored the potential of the site under current conditions.The resulting project constitutes a radical new start.The original idea of an illuminated cube balanced on the silo towers and visible from afar has been jettisoned.Instead,we propose to erect a building whose dimensions and materials accord with the sequence of historic brick structures lining the dockside.The new structure thus completes the existing museum complex in a visually appropriate way and forms a suitable conclusion to the row of buildings along the dock.
