MoMA是现代铝博物馆的缩写。该项目起源于一群雄心勃勃的客户，目标是恢复铝在泰国的意义。在20世纪末，泰国曾经是东南亚最大的铝材制造商。其多样化和丰富的铝型材不仅满足了当地市场，还曾因出口到海外市场而闻名。然而，1997年的亚洲金融危机毫无征兆地发生了。这促使泰国的铝业为了生存而向全国各地的五金市场低价出售铝型材，从而形成了今天曼谷街景中杂乱无章的广告牌、阳台围栏和底层扩建。

MoMA is the abbreviation for Museum of Modern Aluminum. The project originated from a group of ambitious clients with the goal of reviving the significance of aluminum in Thailand. Thailand was once the largest aluminum manufacturer in Southeast Asia at the end of the 20th century. Its diverse and abundant aluminum profiles not only satisfied the local market but were once known for exporting to overseas markets. However, the Asian Financial Crisis hit without warning in 1997. This prompted Thailand’s aluminum industry to sell aluminum profiles at low prices to hardware markets around the country in order to survive, resulting in the clutters of advertising signs, balcony fences, and ground floor extensions that make up the present-day Bangkok streetscape.

MoMA就是在这样的环境中诞生的。它位于曼谷郊区最繁忙的交通枢纽，繁忙的交通导致各种商业标志在Ratchaphruek路两旁出现。主干道通向大皇宫、Wongwian Yai、曼谷大学和Ko Kret，这是曼谷唯一的岛屿。十多年前，萤火虫在Ko Kret岛上繁衍生息，使该岛成为曼谷人的天然休闲场所。HAS的设计和研究希望MoMA不仅作为一个公共空间，而且作为繁忙的城市居民的一个度假胜地。该建筑将Ko Kret岛的自然景观延伸到项目现场。白天，MoMA是一朵蒲公英，其悬垂的元素在风中摇曳，给繁忙的拉差福路带来了柔和和轻盈；晚上，MoMA变成了一只萤火虫，给高度商业化的拉差福路增添了自然和宁静的感觉。

MoMA was born out of such an environment. It is located at the busiest traffic hub on the outskirts of Bangkok, where heavy traffic has led to a variety of commercial signs lining Ratchaphruek Road. The main roads lead to The Grand Palace, Wongwian Yai, Bangkok University, and Ko Kret, the only island in Bangkok. More than a decade ago, fireflies populated Ko Kret, making the island a natural retreat for Bangkokians. HAS design and research wanted MoMA to serve not only as a public space but also as a getaway for busy urban dwellers. The building extends the natural landscape of Ko Kret Island to the project site. During the day, MoMA is a dandelion, with its overhanging elements swaying in the wind, bringing softness and lightness to the busy Ratchaphruek Road; at night, MoMA transforms into a firefly, adding a sense of nature and peacefulness to the highly commercialized Ratchaphruek Road.

MoMA不仅使用铝条作为展示品，还让铝条在建筑、室内、景观以及照明和家具中延续，创造出一种内外兼修的整体感。外墙由数以万计的铝条覆盖，每条铝条的颜色和纹理都略有不同，就像蒲公英的羽毛。这些铝条与LED照明相结合，从前立面延伸到两个侧立面，然后直接穿过西侧的 “隧道 “空间，过滤和抑制外部环境的噪音，引导参观者进入安静的展览场所。

MoMA not only uses aluminum strips as display items, but also allows them to continue in the architecture, the interior, the landscape, as well as the lighting and furniture, creating a sense of totality inside and outside. The façade is clad with tens of thousands of aluminum strips, each with a slightly different color and texture, just like the feathers of a dandelion. The aluminum strips, combined with LED lighting, extend from the front façade to the two side façades, and then straight through the “tunnel” space on the west side, filtering and dampening the noise of the external environment and guiding visitors to the quiet exhibition place.

立面上的铝条不仅提供了多种照明功能，而且还为室内遮挡了过多的阳光，保持了舒适的室内环境。展览空间的灵活性可以满足各种展示、接待和活动的需要。在顶层，封闭的景观类似于一个漂浮的岛屿，上面有季节性的植物，为萤火虫的生长创造了一个城市生态场所。MoMA的设计过程始于对街头常见的铝制招牌的研究，然后将铝作为一种元素来连接整个建筑。通过对铝型材的调查和研究，创造了一种独特的建筑纹理，在泰国的混凝土丛林中发现了一种新的乡土气息。

The aluminum strips on the façade not only provide a variety of lighting functions, but also shade the interior from excessive sunlight to maintain a comfortable interior environment. The flexibility of the exhibition space can meet a variety of display, reception, and activity needs. On the top floor, the enclosed landscape resembles a floating island with seasonal plants, creating an urban ecological site for fireflies to flourish. The design process of MoMA began with the study of aluminum signboards commonly seen on the streets, and then used aluminum as an element to link the entire building. Through the investigation and research of aluminum profiles, a distinct architectural texture is created, and a new sense of vernacular is discovered in Thailand’s concrete jungle.
