维多利亚与艾伯特博物馆（博览会路），伦敦，英国

2011年，伦敦的维多利亚与艾伯特博物馆为他们在博览会路的扩建项目举行了一次国际设计竞赛。迈克尔·毛赞建筑事务所入选了进入最后一轮的7家设计公司之一。竞赛的要求中简约地明确了主要的设计目标：在原锅炉房院之下建造一座平易近人、引人入胜的新展馆供现代艺术展使用，并在上方建一座吸引人的公共庭院，这也会成为博览会路这一文化中轴沿线的一座新美术馆。我们的竞赛设计通过将该博物馆的独特气质和新馆基地的环境结合在一起来达成这些设计目标，并设想在地上和地下同时创造出新的庭院空间，形成博物馆面向博览会路一侧的新入口。设计希望能把握住该博物馆的活力、其展览的多样性以及其在管理方式上的巧妙周密感。

为了达到新建筑与旧建筑及其内部展览品的协调性，博览会路的新庭院的定位是一个兼具动感、尺度感和功能性的城市公共空间。它不仅是地下展厅的屋顶，庭院的地表也成为伦敦的一处室外展厅。上层的庭院可以供表演、仪式和其他公共功能使用，并通过装设灵活可变的设施和灯光来满足各种需求。

新的入口大厅是连接庭院的过渡空间，供艺术教育用的博物馆和塞克勒中心都在这一空间中。通过一段坡道或缓和的台阶，访客可以通过一道在晴天可以打开的玻璃墙，到达位于起伏的庭院的最高点之下的大堂。进入后直接面对咨询台，可以在这里买票，同时配备有职员室和咖啡厅。由上至下，贯穿入口层，大厅的体量形成一个紧凑高效的空间，供展览和位于服务核心筒中的辅助空间使用。大厅的新建筑与位于亨利·科尔翼的五彩拉毛墙面和陶瓷台阶等现有博物馆的历史地标性构筑物遥相呼应。经由位于西线的高耸中庭里的入口空间，游客们将以一种戏剧化的方式进入博物馆。

通过中庭空间，访客可以直接从地上看到地下层的展馆商店，也可以大致打量展厅中的情况。1 470m2的展厅是个灵活的空间，可以满足该博物馆管理方布置各种展览的要求。此外，设计中希望不要让展厅有地下空间的感受，同时也出于对该博物馆精神的考虑，让展厅通过其商店的部分与上层位于西线的中庭产生了竖向的视觉联系。□（司马蕾 译）

In 2011, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London hosted an international design competition for their Exhibition Road Expansion Project. MMA was selected as one of seven finalists to prepare schemes for consideration. The competition brief clearly established the primary project objectives:to build an accessible and inviting new gallery for temporary exhibitions under the Boilerhouse Yard; to open an inviting performative public courtyard; and to create a new Museum entry along the cultural spine of Exhibition Road. The MMA competition design addresses these primary goals by engaging the unique qualities of both the V&A Museum and the context of the project site, both above and below ground, to create a new courtyard hub for the Museum's reimagined Exhibition Road entry. The project aimed to capture the energy of the V&A, the diversity of its exhibitions, and the sophistication of its curatorial approach.

Working in concert with its historic buildings and in reference to its collection, the new courtyard along Exhibition Road is an urban space activated by movement, scale, and purpose. Acting not only as a rooftop to the gallery below, the surface of the courtyard is an exterior room within the London.The courtyard above can incorporate performances,installations, and other public functions by utilizing flexible infrastructure and lighting to support a wide range of use.

The new entrance lobby is a welcoming space connecting the courtyard, the Museum and the Sackler Centre for arts education in a single hub.Moving down the ramp or a few gentle steps, visitors enter the lobby under the apex of the courtyard's undulating form, through a glass wall that can slide open in nice weather, and immediately find an information desk, a place to purchase tickets,a cloakroom, and the café. Above, below, and through the entry level, the lobby volume is also a compact and efficient hub for the gallery and its support spaces all served directly by the service core. The new architecture of the lobby responds to historic landmarks of the existing museum such as the Sgraffito Wall of the Henry Cole Wing and the Ceramic Stair. From the lobby, visitors enter the Museum in a dramatic way, through a tall atrium created within the Western Range.

Crossing through the space of the atrium, one can immediately look down into the exhibition shop and glimpse further into the exhibition gallery below. The 1,470 square meter exhibition gallery is designed as a flexible space suited to multiple exhibit configurations as required by the curatorial needs of the V&A. The gallery is designed so as not to evoke the feeling of an underground space,and in the spirit of the V&A, is provided with the possibility of vertical visual connectivity through the exhibition shop and up into the atrium of the Western Range.□
