The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in new york, USA, is located at the corner of a street and is the headquarters of guggenheim museum bilbao. This building is a famous landmark in new york, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the most famous American architect in the 20th century. It is located on a street corner in new york City, which is quite different from any other building. It can be said that it looks like a teacup or a huge white spring, perhaps because of the spiral structure. Some people say it looks like a conch.
This extremely beautiful and incomparable building was built in 1959. The exterior of the building spirals upward and outward, and the internal curves and slopes lead to the sixth floor. An open space is formed in the middle of the spiral, and the light is taken from the top of the glass dome. The museum is named after Solomon R. Guggenheim because it preserves his collection of modern works of art. Many exhibits are hung by metal poles, as if floating in the air. Traditionally, museums display works of art on the walls along the hall. But Guggenheim broke the traditional convention.
The exterior of Guggenheim Museum is very unpretentious, only decorated with the name of the museum. Smooth white concrete covers the walls, making them look more like a huge sculpture than a building.
The exterior of the building spirals upward and outward, and the internal curves and slopes lead to the sixth floor. An open space is formed in the middle of the spiral, and the light is taken from the top of the glass dome. The art museum is divided into two volumes, the largest of which is the exhibition hall with 6 floors; The small one is the administrative office, on the fourth floor. The exhibition hall is an inverted spiral space, about 30 meters high. At the top of the hall is a petal-shaped glass roof, surrounded by spiral platforms, and the ground rises slowly with a slope of 3%. During the visit, the audience first took the elevator to the top floor and then descended the slope. The tour route is 430 meters long. The exhibits in the art museum are hung along the walls of the ramp, and the audience can enjoy them while walking. Unconsciously, they have completed the six-story ramp and completed the exhibits, which is obviously much more interesting and relaxed than the conventional one-room exhibition room.
The museum preserves Solomon R Guggenheim's collection of modern works of art, many of which are hung by metal poles as if floating in the air. Traditionally, museums display works of art on the walls around the hall. But Guggenheim broke the traditional convention.
Second,
The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, was designed by California architect FFrank O.Gehry and officially opened in 1997. With its fantastic appearance, unique structure and brand-new materials, it immediately attracted worldwide attention. Among the magnificent galaxies created in 1990s, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao is undoubtedly one of the greatest. Like the Sydney Opera House, they all belong to future buildings and urban poems that are not written in mortal languages.
The museum covers an area of 24,000 square meters, and the exhibition space is 1 1000 square meters. It is divided into 19 exhibition halls, one of which is one of the largest art galleries in the world, with an area of130m by 30m square. The structure of the whole museum was gradually designed by the architect with the help of a set of aerodynamic computer software. The museum uses glass, steel and limestone as building materials, and some surfaces are covered with titanium, which echoes the city's long shipbuilding tradition.
The museum is located at the gateway of the city-the edge of the old city and the art district on the south bank of the Neville River. The main elevated passage into Bish passes through a corner of the base, which is the only way to enter the city from the north.
Looking at the city from the north bank of Neville River, the museum is the most striking waterfront landscape on the first floor. Faced with such an important and challenging position, Gary gave the boldest answer so far in the history of architecture: the whole building is composed of a group of irregular hyperboloids covered with titanium alloy plates, and its form has nothing to do with the previous practice of human architecture, surpassing any habitual architectural experience. Under the magical command of Gary, architecture, which has been solidified for thousands of years, flows again and plays a jaw-dropping sound.
On the north side of the adjacent water, Gehry echoes the horizontal flow sense and large-scale relationship of the river with a horizontally undulating three-story exhibition hall. Because of the north backlight, the main facade of the building will be in shadow all day. Gary skillfully regards the architectural skin as a hyperboloid that bends in all directions. In this way, with the change of the incident angle of sunlight, all surfaces of the building will have a constantly changing light and shadow effect, avoiding the dull feeling of large buildings in the north.
The main entrance on the south side is just across the street from the19th century old building, so the method of breaking the transition scale of building volume is adopted to coordinate with it. Even better, in order to solve the conflict between the viaduct and the museum building below, Gary crossed the lower part of the viaduct and designed a tower at the other end of the bridge, so that the building could embrace and accommodate the viaduct, and then integrate with the city. Gary used the elevated road as a link to radiate the exuberant vitality of this building to the depths of the city.
The interior design of the museum is extremely wonderful, especially the atrium design at the entrance, which Gary called "a hat thrown into the air". It created a powerful impact that no high-rise space had in the past and broke the simple geometric order. The curved surface is ups and downs, rushing upward, and the light and shadow are pouring down, penetrating people's hearts and making people dizzying. Under this atrium, people were mobilized to participate in all psychological preparations for artistic carnival and embarked on a ferry to bid farewell to ordinary experiences. In view of Wright's disrespect for art exhibits in the design of Guggenheim Museum in new york, Gehry's exhibition hall is simple and quiet, creating a comfortable habitat for art works. ..
