浙江美术馆

秀美的西子湖畔，苍翠的玉皇山麓，浙江美术馆选址于山水之间，环境条件十分优越。

The museum is located between Yuhuang Mountains and West Lake with scattered landscapes; the museum is built by people, yet it looks like a splendid work of nature. Poised like a modern ink painting that has been accomplished with a single stroke, the Zhejiang Art Museum expresses the modern Chinese aesthetic within the narrative context of Jiangnan’s misty rain scenery.

设计从书法、水墨画、江南传统建筑和西方构成雕塑中寻找通感，以期与自然环境、人文环境和现代审美理念取得和谐统一。建筑体量依山形展开，并向湖面层层跌落，起伏有致的建筑轮廓如同山体的延伸，自然而然地融入环境背景中。黑色屋顶构件与大片白墙的色彩对比、多面坡顶穿插的造型手法，在“似与不似”之间表达着江南传统建筑特征，如水墨画般流露着江南文化的气质意韵。而钢构架、中空夹胶玻璃、石材等现代材料与技术的运用，由坡顶转化而成的屋顶锥体与水平体块的穿插组合，又使建筑极富现代感与雕塑感，符合现代的审美理念。

The Zhejiang Art Museum boasts a superb natural environment, nestled comfortably near the banks of the beautiful West Lake at the foot of the verdant Yuhuang Mountain. The museum’s design sought to find the synesthesia between Chinese calligraphy, ink paintings, the traditional architecture of the wider Jiangnan region (south of the Yangtze River), and classical Western sculpture, so as to achieve a harmony and unity of the natural and human environments, with modern aesthetic ideas. The mass of the architecture is spread out along the shape of the mountain and extends gradually to the lake so that the rhythmic rising and falling profile of the building stretches in concert with the mountain, and merges into the background of the natural environment.The black-colored roof components stand in contrast to the pale-white wall, and the construction technique of using multiple alternating sloping crests seems to subtly express Jiangnan architectural features, in a delicate space between likeness and unlikeness, where the cultural quality and meaning of Jiangnan culture is unveiled as if in an ink painting. Meanwhile, the structure still manages to retain an aesthetic sense of modernity and sculpturalism by using steel, hollow laminated glass, stone, and other modern materials; by applying modern techniques; and through the use of the transitional pyramidal roofs in alternating patterns, gently clashing with the horizontal blocks of the architecture.

粉墙黛瓦，坡顶穿插，黑白构成，江南流韵 依山傍水，错落有致，虽为人造，宛如天开 烟雨江南——在书法、水墨、坡顶、自然环境和西方抽象构成雕塑中寻找通感 现代材料技术、现代的审美取向——表达江南建筑的文化韵味 浙江美术馆如同一幅一气呵成的现代水墨画，在江南烟雨迷蒙中，诉说着现代中国的审美理念。

White walls, black tiles and interlaced slant roofs make a color contrast with black and white, showing a kind of Chinese southern cultural charm. Modern materials and techniques, and a modern aesthetic orientation serve to express the individual cultural characteristics of Jiangnan architecture. Jiangnan in misty rain–The artists sought for a synthesis of Chinese calligraphy, ink paintings, sloping crests, the local natural environment, and Western abstract sculpture. Hills shrouded in mist: both the poetic and picturesque are united through the modern Chinese aesthetic ideal.
