泰特现代在2000年第一次开业时改变了伦敦。赫尔佐格

Tate Modern changed London when it first opened in 2000. Herzog & de Meuron transformed the derelict Bankside Power Station into a home for the UK’s collection of international modern and contemporary art, sparking local regeneration and creating a new landmark on the Thames. The power station’s original Boiler House was converted into galleries, learning studios and social spaces, while its Turbine Hall was turned into a huge open space for special commissions and events. Tate Modern quickly became the world’s most popular museum of modern art, attracting around 5 million visitors each year – more than double the number for which it was designed – while its collection grew to encompass a huge variety of art from around the world.

2016年标志着泰特现代的下一个发展阶段，一座新的10层楼高的大楼在涡轮大厅的南面，位于发电站的前开关楼的所在地。这座新的开关屋建筑植根于圆柱形的地下储藏室，每个水箱的直径超过30米，提供了世界上第一个专门用于生活艺术、装置和电影的博物馆空间。它们构成了交换屋的物理基础和概念起点，为新类型的博物馆提供了新的空间。上面是世界一流画廊的三层楼，里面有一个宽敞的画板，从亲密的小规模环境到引人注目的顶级照明空间。此外，还有专门用于学习和口译的广泛区域，以及一家新的餐厅，酒吧和成员厅，顶部设有公共露台，提供360度的伦敦全景景观。一座横跨涡轮大厅的新桥梁将4级现有的锅炉房展厅连接到新的开关屋展厅，将两侧与其核心的涡轮大厅结合在一起。

2016 marks the next phase in Tate Modern’s evolution, with the opening of a new 10-storey building to the south of the Turbine Hall on the site of the power station’s former Switch House. The new Switch House building is rooted in the cylindrical underground Tanks, each measuring over 30 metres across and providing the world’s first museum spaces dedicated to live art, installation and film. They form the physical foundations of the Switch House and the conceptual starting point for it, offering new kinds of spaces for a new kind of museum. Above them are three additional floors of world-class galleries with a wide palette of volumes, from intimate small-scale environments to dramatic top-lit spaces. They are complemented by extensive areas dedicated to learning and interpretation, as well as a new restaurant, bar and Members Room, topped with a public terrace offering 360-degree panoramic views of London. A new bridge across the Turbine Hall joins the existing Boiler House galleries on Level 4 to the new Switch House galleries, uniting both sides with the Turbine Hall at its heart.

开关屋把新的空间安排成一个独特的金字塔形的塔，它的混凝土结构折叠成戏剧性的线条，随着它的上升。以一种全新的方式重新解释了发电站的砖结构，它被覆盖在一个由336，000块砖组成的穿孔格子中。这种独特的外墙可以让光线在白天透进来，并在晚上发光，将一种固体的、巨大的材料转化为一层面纱，覆盖着新建筑的混凝土骨架。新画廊的薄薄的垂直窗户与锅炉房的窗户相呼应，同时也允许游客俯瞰风景或涡轮大厅。当游客们走上开关屋的时候，长长的水平窗户也会穿过门面，提供新的景观，并展示砖瓦的细节。由此产生的外观创造了一个标志性的增加天际线和统一的泰特现代。它还将环境可持续性作为其设计的核心，具有高热质量、自然通风、太阳能电池板和新的绿色空间。

The Switch House arranges the new spaces into a unique pyramid-shaped tower, with its concrete structure folding into dramatic lines as it rises. Reinterpreting the power station’s brickwork in a radical new way, it is clad in a perforated lattice of 336,000 bricks. This unique façade allows light to filter in during the day and to glow out in the evening, transforming a solid, massive material into a veil that covers the concrete skeleton of the new building. Thin vertical windows in the new galleries echo those in the Boiler House, while also allowing visitors to look out over the landscape or across the Turbine Hall. As visitors journey up through the Switch House, long horizontal windows are also cut across the façade to offer new views and reveal details of the brickwork. The resulting exterior creates both an iconic addition to the skyline and a unified Tate Modern. It also puts environmental sustainability at the heart of its design, with a high thermal mass, natural ventilation, solar panels and new green spaces.

重聚开发原版泰特现代，赫尔佐格的团队

Reuniting the team who developed the original Tate Modern, Herzog & de Meuron have worked with Vogt Landscape Architects and designer Jasper Morrison. Two new public squares are being developed around the site, while the footprint of the Tanks is echoed in a large terrace opening out from the new southern entrance. Specially-selected furniture by Jasper Morrison will complete the interior of the building, responding to its varied architecture from the galleries and concourses to the restaurants and bars. Tate Modern will also host a free display of Morrison’s designs to mark the opening this summer, and a book about the building will be published this autumn, edited by Nicholas Serota and Chris Dercon and featuring interviews with Herzog & de Meuron, Günther Vogt and Jasper Morrison.
