Steven Holl unveils visual arts centre for historic Pennsylvania college

Steven Holl建筑事务所发表了宾夕法尼亚艺术中心的设计，它有雕塑般的白色外观，参考风筝。

视觉艺术大楼预计被建在Franklin & Marshall大学——一个1787年在Lancaster的自由艺术机构，现在刚刚超过2200位学生。

在本周的大学典礼期间宣布，美国公司设计了这个三层的建筑，包括教室、工作室、办公室和礼堂。效果图展示了一个带弧形墙面的白色的不对称结构。

Steven Holl Architects has revealed designs for a Pennsylvania arts centre with a sculptural, white form that references a kite.
The Visual Arts Building is slated to be built at Franklin & Marshall College – a liberal arts institution in Lancaster dating back to 1787, which has just over 2,200 students.
Announced this week during the college's graduation ceremony, the three-storey building is designed by the US firm to house classrooms, studios, offices and an auditorium. Renderings show an asymmetrical white structure with curved walls.

该设施将与一个反射水池连接，水池也是Holl设计的，还有一个计划中的博物馆。一切都旨在形成一个新的视觉艺术中心，它在学校中是四边形的。基地的总体规划中展示，现存图书馆中也添加了一个玻璃咖啡厅。

为了给Holl的建筑让路，大学将拆除Herman艺术中心，该建筑在1960年对外开放，由马里兰的公司RCG设计。

新的视觉艺术中心有35000平方英尺（3250平方米），几乎是旧中心的两倍大。

Holl把这个方案描述为“公园中的帐篷”。

“建筑在树木中像风筝一样升起，凹入的光影轮廓对校园中粗壮的树木做出回应——在这个伟大的历史校园中，有许多超过100年或者更老的事物，”建筑师说。

内部，玻璃封闭的“演讲”空间在地下一层的中心，可以看见青翠的校园，它将作为演讲大厅和展示区域。

The facility will adjoin a reflecting pool, also designed by Holl, and a proposed museum, all intended to form a new visual arts quad for the campus. A masterplan for the site suggests also adding a two-storey glass cafe to an existing library.
To make way for Holl's building, the college will demolish the Herman Arts Center, which opened in the 1960s and was designed by Maryland-based firm RCG.
At 35,000 square feet (3,250 square metres), the new visual arts centre will be nearly twice as large as the old centre.
Holl describes the proposal as a "pavilion on the park".
"Raised kite-like into the trees, the building's light profile is a concave response to the large diameters of the campus' trees – many over 100 years old and the oldest things on this great historic campus," the architect said.
Inside, a glass-enclosed "forum" space at the centre of the ground floor will enable views of the verdant campus, and will serve as a lecture hall and exhibition area.

地下层还将提供额外的画廊、休息室、木质和金属车间，它们可容纳大型的作品。电影实验室位于它们的下方。

一层以礼堂和6个不同的工作室为特色，都围绕着一个中心公共区域。效果图显示，一个斜坡通往第二层的入口。

夹层式的二楼包含教室、给教职工和先进学生使用的工作室和办公室。各种空间都可以俯瞰下面的楼层。

该中心是Holl的公司正在进行的几个艺术相关的项目之一。其他的包括普林斯顿大学艺术学院的Lewis中心、爱荷华的大学的视觉艺术建筑、休斯顿美术博物馆的Glassell艺术学校，Holl已经为艺术学校设想了一个总体规划。

Holl强调他的公司没有“单一的风格”。

“我们总是尝试形成独特的体验，对于这个项目，我们的做法是相同的。”对于Franklin & Marshall大学的艺术中心，他这样说。“我们期待创造出这个地方的东西，以激励未来的学生。”

该项目主要是由Benjamin Winter和他的妻子Susan捐赠的1000万美元的基金（£690万）建造的。 1967年，Winter从这个学校毕业。如今，他领导一个纽约的房地产投资公司。

Holl在1976年创立了和他同名的公司，今天在纽约和北京都有工作室。Holl和他的搭档Chris McVoy、Noah Yaffe领导着工作室。

Holl也在纽约Queens设计了新的图书馆，去年它在一块凸出的基地上破土而出，俯瞰East River。

The ground floor will also house additional galleries, a lounge, and wood and metal workshops that can accommodate large-scale pieces. A film lab will be located below grade.
The first floor will feature an auditorium and six different studios, all organised around a central common area. Renderings show a ramp leading to an entrance on the second storey.
A mezzanine-style second floor will contain classrooms, studios and offices for faculty and advanced students. Various spaces will overlook the floors below.
The centre marks one of several arts-related projects now underway by Holl's firm. Others include the Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton University, the Visual Arts Building at the University of Iowa, and the Glassell School of Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, for which Holl has conceived a master plan.
Hollemphasised that his firm doesn't have a "single style".
"We always try to shape a unique experience, and our approach is the same with this project," he said of the arts centre for Franklin & Marshall College. "We look to create something of this place, to inspire future students."
The project is largely being funded by a $10 million (£6.9 million) donation from Benjamin Winter and his wife, Susan. Winter graduated from the college in 1967 and today heads a real estate investment firm in New York.
Holl founded his eponymous firm in 1976, which today has offices in New York and Beijing. Holl leads the office with partners Chris McVoy and Noah Yaffe.
Holl also designed a new library in Queens, New York, which broke ground last year on a prominent site overlooking the East River.
