The letterX is used as the main symbol of the museum at the entrance as an intersection of two H-beamssupporting each other structurally. Thecrossed-braced structure holds the large curving roof that is perforated to filter patterns of light into the entrance space. The diagram of the X composed of two lines is signified as the most basic form of interaction.The museum dedicates itself to beingmultidisciplinary showing not only artists, but also architects, scientists, engineers, musicians, and designers.Conversation of innovative concepts betweendisciplines offers a path to endless possibilities.
X字母也被用作美术馆的主要标志,在入口处呈现为两根相交的H形结构柱,为宽阔的弧形屋顶提供了支撑。美术馆设计屋顶表面上的穿孔能够滤过光线,在入口空间投下光影。由两条线组成的“X”图形还寓意着最基本的交互形式,与美术馆在多学科方面的努力形成呼应:除了艺术家之外,X美术馆还展示来自建筑师、科学家、工程师、音乐家和设计师的作品。
The SouthFaçade iscovered with a matrix of 54 steel light boxes. These protruded rectilinear structures cast an array of shadows onto the grey stucco wall. The angle and the lengths of the shadows constantly change throughout the day according to the solar position. Downlights are also embedded into the box to light up the façade creating another kind of pattern during the nighttime. These structures can also be used to hang large posters or displays that may be required by the museum for different events.
美术馆的南立面覆盖着由54个灯箱构成的矩阵。这些突出的方形结构在灰泥墙面上投下整齐的阴影,并会根据太阳的位置发生角度和长度的变化。到了夜里,美术馆设计嵌入结构内的射灯将点亮外墙,创造全新的光影图案。同时,这些结构也可以用来悬挂巨幅海报或用于各类美术馆活动的宣传。
