新的现代馆建于密歇根大街与哥伦布大道之间，位于芝加哥艺术学院所在街区的东北角。增建部分将完善博物馆的文化、城市园区。新的街道层入口位于门罗街上，通过新格里芬庭院将千禧公园与现有博物馆中心相连接。在第一层，这个日光院的两侧是新的教育机构、公共设施、画廊及一个花园，所有这些都是为了更好地活跃艺术学院的城市生活。第二、三层专用于艺术和艺术品观赏。第三层将采用完全自然照明。街道层之下是机械系统、艺术品存放，以及整个艺术学院的辅助设施。

飞架于临时艺术展厅之上的屋顶，通过过滤阳光，为欣赏艺术品创造理想的自然光影条件。这个屋顶是一种由铝叶制成的飞毯，功能类似于公园周围的树冠。它是一种“软装置”，敏感地漂浮在新馆的上空，活跃地过滤着光线。

对于一座建立在精确的南－北、东－西轴的城市来讲，所有这些都相对容易实现，可以完美地与太阳运转同步，如同一架太阳能机器。现代馆的屋顶将为博物馆提供所需的照明要求，如同普利兹克音乐厅开敞的格架为大草坪提供所需的声学要求一样。

石灰岩，作为一种材料，被用于整个博物馆的结构之中，从最初古典建筑风格的宫殿，到新近加建的部分，它在地面突起如同地形起伏，厚重且坚硬，如同一直生长于此。在这个传统主题之上矗立的建筑明亮、透明，在钢与玻璃之间互相渗透，展现着芝加哥建筑的伟大传统：可靠和坚固，同时又明亮而干脆。

尼科尔斯桥大道，从千禧公园通达现代馆的公共平台，如同锋利的刀剑从门罗街的上部穿过。尖锐的金属使我们联想起芝加哥大胆的结构特征。这座桥与其他所有桥的功能一样：连接两个不同的世界并提供分享经验的可能，它为步行的人们提供了仰望天空和俯视芝加哥独特天际线的美好景观。□（李菁 译）

The new Modern Wing is being built between Michigan Avenue and Columbus Drive, at the northeast corner of the block the Art Institute of Chicago currently occupies. The addition will complete the cultural, urban campus of the museum. The new street-level entrance on Monroe Street will connect Millennium Park to the heart of the existing museum through the new Griffin Court.On the first floor, this daylit court will be flanked by new educational facilities, public amenities,galleries, and a garden, all of which will better actively link the Art Institute with urban life.The second and third floors will be dedicated to art and the viewing of art. The third floor will be completely lit by natural light. Below street level will be mechanical systems, art storage, and support facilities for the entire Art Institute.

Flying above the art pavilion will be a shelter that filters the sun to create the natural shaded light conditions ideal for the enjoyment of art.This shelter is a kind of flying carpet made of aluminum leaves that perform the same job as the tree canopies all around in the park. It is a "soft machine" that sensitively levitates above the new wing, vibrantly screening the light.

All this is made easier in a city that is built on precise north-south and east-west axes, perfectly in tune with the cycle of the sun, like a solar machine.The Modern Wing shelter will give the museum what it needs in terms of light, much as the open lattice of the Pritzker Pavilion gives shelter to the Great Lawn in terms of sound.

Limestone, a material used in the construction of the entire museum from its original Beaux Arts palace to recent additions, rises from the ground like a topographic relief, massive and solid,as though it has always been there. Above this topos, the building stands light, transparent, and permeable in steel and glass, in the great tradition of Chicago buildings: solid and robust yet at the same time light and crisp.

The Nichols Bridgeway goes from the heart of Millennium Park to the public terrace of the Modern Wing, crossing high above Monroe Street like a fine blade. The sharp metal reminds us of the bold structures characteristic of Chicago. The bridge does what all bridges do: it connects two different worlds and makes it possible to share experiences,providing beautiful views for people walking up towards the sunlight or down in front of the unique Chicago skyline.□
