▼V&A Dundee博物馆外观，exterior view

“对于我们而言，这个项目的特别之处在于项目基地的位置——水与城之间，即陆地和水域之间，一般的项目并不是这样。当我们开始构思项目方案的时候，我的同事给我看了一张苏格兰东北部悬崖的照片。悬崖的形成过程仿佛大地和海水的一场漫长的交谈，在此之后，悬崖才有了如此令人惊异的形状。我们的博物馆设计方案试图通过建造“人造悬崖”将这种地理特性体现在这个建筑中。” ——隈研吾

“The uniqueness of this project for us is in the position between the water and the city – it is very different from a normal site as it sits in between land and water. As we started thinking about the project one of my colleagues showed me a picture of the cliffs of north-eastern Scotland – it’s as if the earth and water had a long conversation and finally created this stunning shape. The design of V&A Dundee attempts to translate this geographical uniqueness into the building by creating an artificial cliff.” — Kengo Kuma

“博物馆外表皮的材质是预制混凝土，建筑的外轮廓沿着起伏的混凝土墙延伸，由此生出奇妙的视觉光影效果，并且形成的光影会随着天气和时间而变化。”

“The form of the museum is inspired by the cliffs on Scotland’s north-eastern coastline, with the cladding – dramatic lines of pre-cast concrete that run horizontally around the curving concrete walls – creating patterns of shadows which change with the weather and the time of day.”

“游客由一个宽阔而精致的大厅进入博物馆，建筑师为了能让游客有宾至如归的体验，特意设计了采光部分，让阳光能洒满整个大厅。同时为了使这个空间富有活力，还在大厅配了咖啡厅，小商店和其他设施，方便游客进行社交。”

“Visitors enter V&A Dundee through a large and beautiful main hall, a light-filled space intended by the architect to be welcoming and accessible, a vibrant place to socialise with a café, shop and other visitor facilities. The stepped interior walls are lined with hanging oak-veneered panels, pierced throughout by slot windows which create a dynamic, warm and playful light, as well as views out to the river. ”

“餐厅的全景天窗可以一览室外露台和泰湾的美景，还能看到RRS探索号。”

“除了550平米的苏格兰设计画廊，V&A Dundee博物馆还有着苏格兰最大的博物馆标准的临时展览空间，面积达1100平米。上层还有一整套学习空间，旨在提供一个多元化的方案，能让所有人都来参与到设计中。”

“V&A Dundee has the largest museum-standard temporary exhibition space in Scotland, at 1,100 square metres, in addition to the Scottish Design Galleries at 550 square metres. Also on the upper floor is a suite of learning spaces, designed to provide a diverse programme for all to participate in design creativity.”

“博物馆远观起来如同斜倚着水面的船首，让过往之人联想到这座城市的造船传统。”

“A ‘prow’ leans over the water and recalls the shipbuilding heritage of the city.”
