SuZhou Private Museum Concept 苏州私人美术馆概念方案
This is a proposal for a private art museum located in Suzhou, China. The city was called “Oriental Venice” because of its famous canals running through the entire old town. Citizens of SuZhou used to travel along the city by boat. Now like many other cities, its canals were filled to make roads for cars.
Our project is the second phase of the museum. The site is separated from its first phase (completed) by a river. Since the new phase has better connection to the city traffic, the museum wants the visitor to use the second phase as the main entrance and cross the river to visit the first phase after. A pedestrian bridge was the initial idea from the museum. We turned it over with boat and piers. The new building will be a group of buildings sitting in the water, connected by overpass on the second floor. Visitors can travel by boats in the canals and pass the river to the first phase. A bridge is saved and a museum on the water is created.
这是一个私人当代美术馆的二期方案的概念。位置坐落在苏州，与一期隔河而望。由于二期的交通位置要优于一期，馆方希望二期为未来美术馆的主要入口，观众可以在参观完二期之后，通过一座新修建的步行桥到达一期美术馆。
在这个提案中，我们舍弃了建桥的想法。在整个二期的设计中完全将治理之后的河水引入，修建一座全新的水上美术馆。水巷中可行船，建筑物与建筑屋在二层通过通廊连接。观众也可乘船游览。在看完二期之后，继续乘船可抵达河对岸的一期码头，上岸继续参观。
