麦德龙开始了新Casa Triângulo的项目,与客户合作,广泛寻找适合巴西最重要的当代艺术画廊之一的场地,该画廊已经运营了28年。这种合作关系确保了位于Rua Estados Unidos(圣保罗最独特的街道之一)的房产不仅仅是根据其实际位置来选择的,同时也是根据现有结构的特点来选择的,这样就可以迅速转化为一个巨大的展览空间。因此,设计和施工之间的差距只有11个月。

METRO began the project for a new Casa Triângulo by collaborating with their clients on an extensive search for a site suitable for one of Brazil’s most important contemporary art galleries, which has already been in operation for 28 years. This partnership ensured that that the property on Rua Estados Unidos (one of Sao Paulo’s most distinctive streets) was not simply chosen based on its physical location, but was also selected for the characteristics of an existing structure that would allow for a rapid conversion into a substantial exhibition space. The resultant gap between design and construction was just 11 months.

新建筑被设想为一个大体量,容纳了两个展览区、收藏品的存储、行政管理和支持区域,总面积约500平方米,分布在三层(地面、夹层和一层)。主展览区的高度接近5米,相当于圣保罗双年展展馆的高度,使新的Casa Triângulo成为城中少数几个具有如此规模的画廊之一。

The new building is conceived as a single large volume, housing two exhibition areas, the collection’s storage, administration and support areas totalling approximately 500sqm spread over three levels (ground, mezzanine and first floors). At almost 5m, the height of the main exhibition area is equivalent to that of the Sao Paulo’s Biennale Pavillion, making the new Casa Triângulo one of the few galleries in town with proportions of this scale.

关于外部区域,面向Rua Cristóvão Diniz的立面–比Estados Unidos更少暴露在交通流中–被一个庭院所界定,该庭院由画廊的混凝土地板的延伸部分和一个预制的混凝土长椅来划分。这有助于表明一个公共性质,既有利于活动日也有利于行人的日常使用。第二块沥青和砾石区域对此进行了补充,该区域可用于装载和卸载艺术作品,也可作为额外的外部活动空间。面向Estados Unidos街的区域被保留为普通停车场。半透明的聚碳酸酯板构成了画廊的整个周边,在白天允许自然采光和透明,而在晚上则反过来传输。在这些连续的面板中发现的大型旋转开口,加强了内部和外部之间的渗透性。

Regarding the external areas, the façade facing onto Rua Cristóvão Diniz – less exposed to flows of traffic than Estados Unidos – is defined by a courtyard demarcated by the extension of the concrete flooring of the gallery and at its lengeth by a pre-cast concrete bench. This helps suggest a public character conducive to both event days and the daily use of pedestrians. This is complemented by a second asphalt and gravel area which may be used for loading and unloading works of art, but also activated as additional external event space. The area fronting Rua Estados Unidos is reserved for general-access parking. Translucent polycarbonate panels form the entire perimeter of the gallery allowing for natural lighting and transparency during the day, whilst in reverse, transmitting it at night. Large pivoting openings found within these continuous panels, reinforce the permeability between interior and exterior.

材料的选择是因为它们在细节设计阶段的效率,或者是因为它们是预制的,或者是在施工过程中不需要过多的修饰。聚碳酸酯和水泥板用于外墙和主展区的内衬,以及覆盖天花板的膨胀钢格栅,都是此类材料的例子。

Materials have been selected for their efficiency at the detailing stage, either because they were prefabricated or did not require excessive finishing during construction. The polycarbonate and cement panels used on the external facade and in the lining of the main exhibition area, together with the expanded steel grills covering the ceiling, are examples of such materials.
