韦斯顿建在约克郡雕塑公园18世纪布雷顿庄园内的一个旧采石场上,小心翼翼地坐在这个历史性的景观中,并将对周围环境的影响降到最低。受迈克尔-海泽尔和罗伯特-莫里斯的土地艺术作品的启发,该建筑创造了一个清晰的门槛,既是入口,也是目的地,将游客的体验延伸到200公顷的公园东部。其低矮的外形保护了它免受高速公路的影响,并形成了一个有遮挡的、下沉式的平台,可以看到整个公园的下湖和布雷顿大厅。
Built on a the site of a former quarry within the Yorkshire Sculpture Park’s 18th-century Bretton Estate, The Weston has been designed to carefully sit within this historic landscape and have a minimal impact on its surroundings. Inspired by land art works by Michael Heizer and Robert Morris, the building creates a clear threshold as both an entrance and a destination extending the visitor experience to the east of the 200 hectare park. Its low profile protects it from the motorway and forms a sheltered, sunken terrace with views across the park towards the Lower Lake and Bretton Hall.
该建筑由分层的彩色混凝土建造,让人联想到该地砂岩基岩的地层,建筑从以前的采石场的地面上拔地而起,由混凝土锯齿形屋顶界定。扇形玻璃纤维皇冠在夜间的景观中形成了一个谦逊的、发光的灯塔。
Constructed from layered, pigmented concrete which evokes the strata of the site’s sandstone bedrock, the building emerges from the ground of the former quarry and is defined by a concrete saw-tooth roof. A scalloped fibreglass crown creates a modest, glowing beacon in the landscape at night.
新的画廊将展示不断变化的临时展览项目,其特点是采用清水混凝土墙,并由混凝土结构内的一系列屋顶灯从上方照亮。画廊的墙壁内有10,000块未烧制的粘土砖,提供了一个开创性的低能耗环境控制系统,在保持画廊内部条件的同时,也减少了对空调的需求。
The new gallery, which will showcase a changing programme of temporary exhibitions, features fair-faced concrete walls and is lit from above by a series of roof lights positioned within the concrete structure. Within the walls of the gallery are 10,000 unfired clay bricks which provide a pioneering low-energy environmental control system maintaining the gallery’s internal conditions while also reducing the need for air conditioning.
咖啡馆由道格拉斯冷杉木框架建成,与画廊的混凝土形成鲜明对比,并有一种更温馨的感觉,烧木头的炉子和家具都是特别选择的,给人一种更家庭化的氛围。
Constructed from a Douglas Fir timber frame, the café space contrasts with the mass of the concrete of the gallery and has a more homely and inviting feel with a wood burning stove and furniture specifically chosen to give a more domestic atmosphere.
