White Volumes on a Cultural Island: A Museum Resembling a City

A coastal museum, not designed as a single large volume, but as fifty-five white boxes of varying sizes scattered on a platform, leaving lanes and small plazas of different widths between them, with a scale similar to traditional coastal settlements. The height of the boxes ranges from 4 meters to 12 meters, with seamless white stone or plaster surfaces and very few openings. The entire cluster is covered by a huge circular canopy, whose shadow falls on the white volumes. The ground of the lanes is light-colored stone, with shallow waterways in some sections. Seawater seeps into the platform from the periphery. Avoid: the massing being a single large block, the boxes being uniform in size, the lanes being uniform in width, adding windows and balconies to the white volumes.

一座濱海的博物館,不做成單一的大量體,而是由五十五個大小不一的白色方盒散布在一個平台上,彼此之間留出寬窄不同的巷道與小廣場,尺度接近傳統的濱海聚落。方盒的高度從 4 公尺到 12 公尺,表面是無縫的白色石材或抹灰,開口極少。整組聚落被一個巨大的圓形頂蓋罩住,頂蓋的陰影落在白色的量體上。巷道的地坪是淺色石材,部分區段有淺水道。海水從外圍滲入平台之間。避免:量體做成單一的大體塊、方盒大小一致、巷道寬度統一、白色量體加入開窗與陽台。
