俯瞰湖泊、树林和牧场的历史景观,韦斯顿,一个新的游客中心和画廊,从英国西约克郡约克郡雕塑公园的山坡上出现。该建筑位于一个前采石场内,占地673平方米,包括一个画廊、解释空间、餐厅和商店。

Overlooking the historic landscape of lake, wood and pasture, The Weston, a new visitor centre and gallery, emerges from its hillside setting in Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Yorkshire, England. Set within a former quarry, the 673m2 building includes a gallery, interpretation space, restaurant and shop.

鉴于该地点暴露在恶劣的天气和盛行的风中,很早就决定,一个合适的建筑应在景观中处于低位。受土地艺术和雕塑作品的启发,包括巨大的特定场地艺术作品,如迈克尔-海泽尔的 “双负 “和罗伯特-莫里斯的 “5号天文台”,出现了一个概念,即从土地上的切口出现一个整体的形式,这发展成一个依偎在山坡上的建筑,但作为一个坚实的人工干预。

Given the site’s exposure to harsh weather and prevailing winds, it was decided early on that an appropriate building would sit low in the landscape. Inspired by works of land art and sculpture, including vast site-specific artworks such as Michael Heizer’s ‘Double Negative’ and Robert Morris’ ‘Observatory No. 5’, a concept emerged of a monolithic form emerging from a cut in the land, which developed into a building nestled into the hillside and yet emerging as a solid, man-made intervention.

这座单层建筑有两个立面:弧形的西立面,在餐厅所在的南端有玻璃,可以看到公园的迷人景色;东立面是一堵50米长的分层混凝土墙,被主入口集中分割。

The single-storey building has two façades: the arc-shaped western elevation, which is glazed at the southern end where the restaurant is located, providing stunning views across the park; and the east elevation, a 50m-long wall of layered concrete, centrally split by the main entrance.

这面雕塑般的实心墙,经过广泛的材料研究和测试,部分作为对附近繁忙的哈德斯菲尔德路的缓冲,同时也是游客进入公园时要通过的一个新门槛。

This sculptural, solid wall, subject to extensive material research and testing, works partly as a buffer to the nearby, busy Huddersfield Road, as well as a new threshold for visitors to pass through when they enter the park.

研究探索不同颜料和骨料的混凝土混合物,结合百叶窗表面的阻燃剂和撞击后的喷射清洗,产生了当地石材类型的分层混凝土墙–石灰石、花岗岩和砂岩–表面的纹理,巧妙地类似于下面的磨石砂土层的层次。

Research exploring concrete mixes of different pigments and aggregates, combined with a retardant on the face of the shuttering and post-striking jet-washing, produced a layered concrete wall of local stone types – limestone, granite and sandstone – with a textured surface that subtly resembles layers in the millstone grit soil strata beneath.

画廊与建筑其他部分的区别在于现浇的白色颜料混凝土,墙面是清水面,屋顶灯的檐口是木板面,半透明的GRP顶棚从上面轻轻过滤光线,保护里面展出的艺术作品。该空间将举办现代艺术家的临时展览,以补充公园室外空间的收藏。

The gallery is distinguished from the rest of the building by a cast in-situ white pigmented concrete, fair-faced on the walls and board-marked on the soffit of the rooflights, with a semi-translucent GRP canopy gently filtering light from above, protecting the artworks on show inside. The space will host temporary exhibitions of work by modern artists to complement the collection in the park’s outdoor space.
