伯克博物馆是华盛顿州最古老的公共博物馆，收藏了1600多万件文物和标本，从图腾柱、宝石到恐龙化石，应有尽有。由于伯克博物馆的藏品范围如此广泛，而且还在持续增长–它是一个收藏博物馆，因此新的建筑需要作为一个连贯、有效的容器，使其能够随着时间的推移而具有灵活性。该建筑的合理方案容纳了伯克博物馆现在和未来的复杂活动和藏品。

The Burke Museum is the oldest public museum in Washington State with a collection of over 16 million artifacts and specimens, ranging from totem poles and gemstones to dinosaur fossils. Because the Burke’s collection is so wide-ranging and continues to grow – it is a collecting museum – the new building needed to serve as a coherent, effective container that would allow for flexibility over time. The building’s rational scheme holds the complexity of the Burke’s activities and collections, both now and into the future.

大面积的玻璃最大限度地提高了透明度，并将室内体验暴露在街道上，将伯克博物馆与校园、景观和城市联系起来。该设计进一步打破了传统博物馆在公共空间和 “后院 “空间之间的壁垒，将藏品和研究实验室与传统的画廊整合在一起，使参观者和周围的社区能够在一个真正的工作博物馆中参与科学发现的过程。一面24英尺×20英尺的旋转窗墙延续了这种对透明度的强调，使伯克博物馆真正向一个新的室外庭院的自然界开放。

Large areas of glazing maximize transparency and expose the interior experience to the street to connect the Burke to the campus, landscape and city. The design further breaks down traditional museum barriers between public and “back-of-house” spaces, integrating collections and research labs with traditional galleries and enabling visitors and the surrounding community to engage with the process of scientific discovery in a true working museum. A 24-foot-by-20-foot pivoting window wall continues this emphasis on transparency to literally open the Burke to the nature of a new outdoor courtyard.

伯克博物馆的核心使命是帮助每个人–策展人、参观者、教育工作者和学生–与我们复杂的自然世界建立联系。双重入口将博物馆与华盛顿大学校园和周边社区联系起来。外部的Kebony护墙板和一系列高而窄的窗户参考了整个太平洋西北地区的森林，就像雪松或冷杉一样，Burke’s Scots松护墙板会随着岁月的流逝而变得银色。窗户有助于为内部和外部的景物进行构架和展示，同时提供自然光和通风。大型的中央中庭和 “智能玻璃 “天窗同样促进了明亮、日光的室内体验，而不会对敏感的文物造成损害。该项目获得了LEED®黄金认证。

At its core, the mission of the Burke is to help everyone – curators, visitors, educators and students – make a connection with our natural world in all its complexities. Dual entrances link the museum to both the University of Washington campus and the surrounding community. The exterior Kebony siding and sequence of tall, narrow windows reference forests across the Pacific Northwest, and like cedar or fir, the Burke’s Scots pine siding will silver with age. Windows help to frame and exhibit objects for both internal and external views, while providing natural light and ventilation. A large central atrium and “smart glass” skylight likewise foster a bright, daylit interior experience, without risking damage to sensitive artifacts. The project is LEED® Gold certified.

“我认为伯克博物馆是一个自然历史图书馆和自然材料库。参观者可以访问他们感兴趣的项目，并与博物馆内的其他研究领域建立联系。新的博物馆赋予了参观者追寻自己好奇心的线索的能力。” -Tom Kundig，FAIA，RIBA，设计负责人。

“I think of the Burke Museum as a natural history library and a repository of natural materials. Visitors have access to the items that interest them and to make connections to other areas of study housed within the museum. The new museum empowers visitors to follow the threads of their own curiosity.” –Tom Kundig, FAIA, RIBA, Design Principal
