高地村游客解说中心，加拿大 / Abbott Brown Architects

高地村是一个可以身临其境的生活博物馆，其中记录着新斯科舍的盖尔文化和历史。这里展示了戏服动画师在布雷顿岛艾奥纳村进行呈现和解释传统家园生活的过程。为了实现这种体验，游客和解说中心被设计成了一个全新文化的实体入口。

The Highland Village is an immersive living museum documenting the history of Gaelic culture in Nova Scotia. It presents costumed animators recreating and interpreting traditional homestead life within a restored historic village in Iona, Cape Breton Island. The Visitors’ and Interpretive Centre is designed as a new cultural and physical portal to this experience.

博物馆的目的是作为一个整体，尤其是作为新的中心，能够让参观者沿着时间线触及到连续的历史时期和文化背景。新解说中心的设计通过一条路径表达这个时间旅程，该路径被编织在一系列截然不同但又相对重复的建筑体量之间。这些建筑体块本身形成了一种重复的形式，就像高地村本身一样。

The intent of the Museum as a whole, and the new Centre in specific, is to draw the visitor along a chronological thread weaving through successive historic periods and cultural contexts. The design of the new Interpretive Centre delineates this time-travel through a path which weaves in and out of a series of distinct but repeating building volumes. The volumes themselves form a gathering of repeated quasi-vernacular forms analogous to the Highland Village itself.

路径是由连续的门槛组成的，由内部和外部的坡道向上并通往场地，过渡处使用了粗锯木和耐候钢，以连接展品 、观景台和去往村庄其他地方的出入口。

The path is composed of successive thresholds, expressed with interior and exterior ramps moving up and into the site, punctuated by material shifts in rough-sawn wood and corten steel at transitions to exhibits, a viewing platform, and passages to and from other parts of the Village.

建筑的围护结构使用了天然雪松木进行包裹，四个部分的体量上都有陡峭的坡屋顶。屋顶被进行加厚处理过，并用金属重新修饰，使得其在屋檐上非常明显，这让人联想到茅草结构——苏格兰高地大清洗时期盖尔人的主要屋顶技术，同时引发了第一批移民浪潮。

The building envelope uses flush natural cedar cladding and steep pitched gable roofs on all four volumes. The enhanced roof thickness, apparent at the eaves, is re-interpreted in metal, and evokes the thatch construction which was the predominant roofing technology among the Gaels in Scotland at the time of the Highland clearances, which triggered the first waves of migration.

中间的建筑体量，隐藏在中轴线上，是这个综合体的中心，包含了核心展览和家谱图书馆。这与苏格兰传统的黑色房屋完全相反。建筑的整个外部都采用了内部的木材，在间隔和边缘处使用了来自当地的云杉木板。传统黑色房屋的纤维木材板被翻转到了内部，并增强了声学处理。一个真实的赫布里底黑色房屋的复制品也被放置在博物馆的场地中。

The fourth, middle volume, concealed and set on its own axis, is the metaphorical heart of the complex, containing the core exhibitions and the genealogical library. An inversion of the traditional black houses of Scotland, here the wood interior is presented on the full exterior of the building, using local spruce boards, on edge and spaced. The vegetative exterior material of the original black house typology is flipped to the interior with fibrous wood panels, which double as an acoustic treatment. A replica of an actual Hebridean black house is also located on the museum site.

这是新斯科舍第一个公共项目，采用了被动房策略，包括超绝缘的墙壁和屋顶、三层高性能玻璃的窗户、以及超高效的热能回收系统。

This is the first public-sector project in Nova Scotia designed with Passive House strategies including super- insulated walls and roofs, triple-glazed high performance windows, and an ultra-efficient heat recovery system.
