史密森尼机构宣布一系列计划，包括对建筑和花园的翻新，增加新的入口，以及翻修沿着华盛顿广场南面的史密森尼城堡。

“能够为美国最重要的机构之一，在这个国家首都的前门草坪上做出重新的构想是个巨大的荣耀，也是个让我感到卑微的挑战。”作为BIG的创始合伙人以及规划建筑师，BjarkeIngels这样说到。 “我们与在过去超过一年半的时间里紧密合作的史密尼森机构一道，把为南广场园区设计的总平面当作一个彻底重新阐释的例子。为了能够调和新与旧之间的矛盾，同时在严格的规划和历史保护条规下找到自由，我们选择了对一些已经存在于园区里的元素进行小心的重新阐释。通过为包括技术上的，功能上的，后勤上的以及策展上的各种要求之间建立新的联系，我们为连接性和可能性创造出了一个崭新的景观。我们相信这个设计有潜力能让史密尼森南广场园区在根植于自身历史的同时面向未来。

form the architect:

The Smithsonian Institution announces plans to give its buildings and gardens a face-lift, adding new entrances and refurbishing the Smithsonian Castle along the south side of the Washington Mall.

“It’s a great honor and a humbling challenge to reimagine one of the most significant American institutions on the front lawn of the nation’s capital,” said BjarkeIngels, the founding partner at

BIG

and the architect of the Master Plan. “Together with the Smithsonian—with whom we have worked closely over the last year and a half—we have conceived a Master Plan for the South Mall campus as an example of radical reinterpretation. To resolve the contradictions between old and new, and to find freedom within the boundaries of strict regulation and historical preservation, we have chosen to carefully reinterpret the elements that are already present in the campus. By forging new links between the various technical, programmatic, logistical and curatorial demands, we have created a new landscape of connectivity and possibility. We believe this plan holds the potential to guide the Smithsonian South Mall Campus into the future while remaining firmly rooted in its heritage.”

南广场园区综合规划计划包括沿着西南独立大道，从第七街到第十二街的博物馆和花园，同时也包括必要的建筑防震的升级，以及对城堡的重要翻新。这包括扩展游客服务；增加面对着国家非洲艺术博物馆和Arthur M. Sackler美术馆的新入口，以及改善从Freer美术馆到Hirshhorn博物馆和雕塑花园的可视性和可达性。总平面规划方案将从2016年开始，在十到二十年的时间里进行实施。

The comprehensive plan for the South Mall Campus includes the museums and gardens along Independence Avenue S.W., from 7th to 12th streets, also encompassing a necessary seismic upgrade and a major revitalization of the Castle. This includes expanded visitor services; new Mall-facing entrances to the National Museum of African Art and the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery as well as improved visibility and access from the Freer Gallery of Art to the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. The proposed Master Plan will be implemented over a 10-to-20

–year period beginning in 2016.

这个方案有是三个主要目标：改进和扩展游客服务及教育；创造博物馆和花园之间清晰的入口和联系；替换已到使用年限的建筑机械系统。

而南广场规划方案的核心是对地标史密尼森城堡的翻新。该城堡开放于1855年，现在被当作游客信息中心以及机构总部在使用。设计方案想要修复具有历史意义的大厅，这个大厅现在几乎被隔墙减去了一般的面积。同时增加地下两层的旅客服务空间。

城堡的翻新将改变到访者的体验，提供迫切需要的更多设施，包括商店，咖啡厅和公共聚集空间。“规划方案为南广场提供了史无前例的一体化构想，”史密尼森机构的部长Wayne Clough说到，“BIG给了我们一个方案，它将能够提供开阔的视野，把博物馆相互连接起来，让美术馆沐浴在阳光之下，更多新的表演场地，和吸引人走进的花园，它能在视觉上吸引游客们并让他们有非同凡响的体验。”

The proposal has three primary goals: to improve and expand visitor services and education; to create clear entrances and connections between the museums and gardens; and to replace aging building mechanical systems that have reached the end of their lifespan. The centerpiece of the proposed South Mall Master Plan is the revitalization of the iconic Smithsonian Castle. Opened in 1855, the Castle now serves as a visitor information center and the headquarters of the Institution. The plan calls for a restoration of the historic Great Hall, whichhas been altered by partitions that cut its floor space almost in half, as well as the addition of a two-level underground space for visitor services.

The renovation of the Castle will transform the visitors’ experience, offering much-needed expansion of amenities, including retail, cafes and public gathering spaces. “The Master Plan provides the first-ever integrative vision for the South Mall,” said Wayne Clough, Secretary of the

Smithsonian Institution. “BjarkeIngels Group has given us a plan that will offer open vistas, connected museums, galleries bathed in daylight,new performance venues, gardens that invite people into them, and it will visually attract visitors who will have an unparalleled experience.”

设计方案结合了若干重要项目，其中一些涉及对基建的需求，包括屋顶渗漏，老化的机械系统和低效的能源使用。项目的整个过程初步预算大概是二十亿美元，组合投资来自联邦政府和私人基金。这个项目的整体规划方案让史密森尼把博物馆和花园的联系最优化，同时还利用费用和空间协同节省效应。比如共用的供给设施和中央卸货平台。

设计方案需要得到首都规划委员会的审批。史密尼森将和首都规划委员会一起致力于满足国家环境政策和法案以及国家历史保护法案的106章。有关南广场规划设计的公众咨询会议将于十二月举行。

2015年一月到八月期间，南广场规划方案将于位于华盛顿的国家建筑博物馆内展出。该展览将呈现BIG在纽约和哥本哈根事务所背后的故事，以及BIG遍及全球的项目。

The proposed Master Plan combines several major projects, some of which address known infrastructure needs, including leaking roofs, failing mechanical systems and inefficient energy use. The initial cost estimate is about $2 billion, a mix of federal and private funds, over thecourse of the project. Integrated planning for the projects allows the Smithsonian to optimize the connections between the museums and gardens, while taking advantage of cost- and space-saving synergies, such as shared use of utility plants and a central loading dock.

The proposed Master Plan requires review from the National Capital Planning Commission. The Smithsonian and NCPC will work together to fulfill the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. A public meeting to share the alternatives under consideration for the South Mall Master Plan will be scheduled for December.

The South Mall master plan will be on display at an upcoming exhibition at the National Building Museum in Washington D.C, running from January – August 2015. The exhibition will provide a glimpse behind the scenes of BIG’s New York and Copenhagen offices, as well as BIG

projects worldwide.
