Stedelijk博物馆因其值得称道的当代艺术收藏而闻名国际。虽然她的藏品与该领域的国际顶级博物馆相当，但建筑已经过时了。在阿姆斯特丹的Museumplein（博物馆广场）上，Rijksmuseum、Van Gogh Museum和Concertgebouw也坐落在那里，这创造了所有的选择，通过翻新和扩建的建筑回到博物馆的顶端。

The Stedelijk Museum is internationally known and renowned for its commendable collection of contemporary art. Although her collection is equivalent with the international top museums in this field, the building was outdated. The position on the Museumplein (Museum square) in Amsterdam, where the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum and the Concertgebouw also are situated, created all options to be back at the top of the museums with a renovated and expanded building.

Stedelijk博物馆的现有建筑于1895年由市政建筑师A.W. Weismann创建，以其雄伟的楼梯、宏伟的房间和自然采光而闻名。Benthem Crouwel建筑事务所的设计保留了这些强项，同时也保留了前博物馆馆长Willem Sandberg（1945-1962）在博物馆中采用的白色。新的扩展并不要求更多的相同，而是要通过多样性和增加新的展览机会来补充。旧的保留并与新的形成统一。在展览和路线方面，都避免了在新旧之间做出令人信服的选择。扩建不是一个从属的，或与现有建筑非常不同的展馆，而是一个综合的补充。从外面看，新建筑与旧建筑的对比很明显；在博物馆内部，你几乎注意不到从新建筑漫步到旧建筑。

The existing building of the Stedelijk Museum created in 1895 by the municipal architect A.W. Weismann, is celebrated for its majestic staircase, grand rooms and natural lighting. These strong points have been retained in the design by Benthem Crouwel Architects along with the colour white, introduced throughout the museum by former museum director Willem Sandberg (1945-1962). The new extension does not ask for more of the same, but to supplement by variety and by adding new opportunities for exhibitions. The old remains and forms unity with the new. Both in terms of exhibitions and routing, making compelling choices between old and new has been averted. The expansion is not a subordinate, or very different pavilion next to the existing building, but an integrated addition. The contrast of the new building versus the old building is obvious from the outside; inside the museum you hardly notice strolling from the new building into the old.

以前的入口不适合作为公共入口–所有相关的功能都要保留。在保持现有建筑的优势的同时，不可能在现有建筑中设置所有新的组件和公共功能，从而创造一个21世纪的博物馆。这种限制显然会使新博物馆的方向转向Museumplein。Stedelijk博物馆是第一个在Museumplein大街上有实际入口的博物馆。为了确保Museumplein的可用空间不会被过度建设，而是被用作南部的入口广场，旋转的方向得到了最佳利用。新的入口无缝地融入了现有的对称建筑的中央通道区，是一个延伸。通过部分提升新增体量并将其余部分沉入地下，现有建筑几乎没有受到影响，完全可以看到。

The former entrance was unsuitable as a public entrance – with all the associated functions – to be maintained. While maintaining the strengths of the existing building was not possible to have all new components and public functions, which create a museum of the 21st century, in the existing building. This restriction had the obvious ability of turn the orientation of the new museum toward the Museumplein. The Stedelijk Museum is the first museum with an actual entrance on the Museumplein. To make sure that the available space at the Museumplein would not be overbuild, but instead was appropriated as an entrance plaza to the south, the rotated orientation is optimally exploited. The new entrance seamlessly fits into the existing central access zone of the symmetrical building and is an extension. By partly lifting the added volume and sinking the rest underground, the existing building remains virtually untouched and fully visible.

在新的入口处，所有的公共功能，如入口处的服务台、知识中心、博物馆商店和餐厅都位于一个开放、透明的大空间内，广场的地板一直延伸到现有建筑的外面。广场是建筑的一部分，就像它是Museumplein的一部分一样。广场上的翼状悬臂屋顶在石框的高度，加强了从广场到建筑的开放过渡，并消除了对入口位置的疑虑。光滑的白色体量，也被称为 “浴缸”，是由纤维强制复合而成的。该建筑的典型形状是通过将外部立面紧紧围绕内部功能而产生的。突出的屋顶是作为对阳光和雨水的功能性保护而添加的。在老建筑的背景下，屋顶和下面的体量是Stedelijk博物馆的新的强大形象。

In the new entrance all public functions, such as the entrance desks, knowledge center, museum shop and restaurant are located in a large open, transparent space where the plaza floor continues to the outside of the existing building. The square is part of the building as much as it is a part of the Museumplein. The wing-shaped, cantilevered roof over the square at height of the stone frames, reinforces the open transition from square to building and removes any doubts about the whereabouts of the entrance. The smooth white volume, also known as ‘the bathtub’, is made from fiber enforced composite. The typical shape of the building arose by pulling the exterior facade tight around the interior functions. The jutting roof was added as a functional protection against sun and rain. Against the backdrop of the old building, the roof with the volume underneath is the new powerful image of the Stedelijk Museum.

从入口处，参观者可以熟悉穿过建筑的不同路线。路线可以由程序控制，但并不强制要求在一个方向。因此，可以直接走进老建筑，沿着各种线路走。纪念性的楼梯保留了下来，并继续在路由中具有重要的功能。新的入口大厅也有可能沿着路线穿过新的大厅。在一个宽敞的阁楼上有一个宽阔的楼梯，可以看到通往下层展览室的路线。在这里，除广场下的其他东西外，还创建了一个±1100平方米的大型展览厅。

From the entrance, visitors can familiarize themselves with the different routes that are possible through the building. The routing can be controlled by the programming, but is not mandatory in one direction. Thus it is possible to walk directly into the old building to follow the various circuits. The monumental staircase remained and continues to have an important function in the routing. The new entrance hall also has the possibility to follow a route through the new halls. A broad stairway in a spacious loft offers views of the routing that leads to the lower exhibition rooms. Here, among other things under the square, a large exhibition hall of ± 1,100 m² is created.

从建筑的这个最低层，可以移动到浮动体积层的新展厅。通过一个封闭的黄色 “管道 “中的两台自动扶梯，直接穿过新的入口大厅，两个展览区被连接起来。这样一来，参观者穿过入口区时就不会离开展览路线，也不会被公共功能所干扰：参观者仍然处于博物馆的氛围中。浮动体量中的展厅与老建筑中的荣誉厅直接相连，这使得路由圈变得完整。由于空间类型的多样性，一个新的博物馆以丰富的经验和展览机会而出现了。

From this lowest level in the building it is possible to move to a new exhibition hall in the floating volume level. Via two escalators in an enclosed yellow “tube”, straight through the new entrance hall, the two exhibition areas are connected. This way the visitor crosses the entrance area without leaving the exhibition route and without being distracted by the public functions: visitors remain in the museum atmosphere. The exhibition hall in the floating volume is directly connected to the hall of honor in the old building, which makes the routing circle complete. Due to the variety of types of space, a new museum comes into existence with a wealth of experiences and exhibition opportunities. The existing building will be – untouched – in full glory, but at the same time begin a new life, with the new orientation at the Museumplein, under one roof with the new building.
