罗斯地球与太空中心：被照亮的球体 / ennead建筑事务所

设计单位  ennead建筑事务所

项目地点  美国纽约

建筑面积  约35210平方米

建成时间  2000年

罗斯地球与太空中心是美国自然历史博物馆的一部分。中心的标志性球体和透明立方体为其所在区域核心所在。玻璃框架内别出心裁的球状体量里容纳着采用最新技术建成的海顿天文馆，及为参览者一展宇宙起源的“宇宙大爆炸”剧场。

而整个建筑的规划与机构建立初衷亦密切相关。作为旨在提供透明、灵活学习体验的教育文化机构，整个藏馆从结构、外观、到系统设置，对当代新兴技术的采用均称得上是范本。

该项目中，建筑独特的玻璃幕墙、结构系统、灯光设计、开放的平面空间、颇具标识性的体量，以及其在材料、颜色方面的出彩应用，使其为访客呈现了一种令人惊喜的建筑艺术与科学的结合。

环环相扣的主题展区不仅使新旧展厅合二为一，更加强了公众对天文学及其相关自然科学重要性的认知，同时展现机构本身的建立初衷。

Explanatory Text of the Project

The building is designed as a visible expression of the science it contains. Transparency of the curtain wall demystifies and illuminates the cube’s contents, both enhancing the presence of the sphere and revealing its gravitational force to serve the institution’s goal to "de-brick" science.

Exhibits are integrated with the architecture and the larger sequence throughout the building to create a seamless union of structure, form and function. A clear and flexible sequence of spaces and educational experiences begins with the building itself, whose structure, skin and systems are models of the most advanced technologies made accessible by means of both the literal and metaphoric transparency of the design.

In concert with the building, hands-on exhibits, interactive experiences, pervasive technology, media and real-time feeds facilitate learning at every level, dramatizing the study of earth and space and attracting adults and children to participate physically and intellectually in the education and exhibition programs.

The cube is a bold, striking contrast to the designated landmark complex. The building contributes to the social and environmental stability of its urban precinct by completing the Museum’s north side, restoring a public park and creating a new public outdoor space.
