该项目是坐落在宾州费城的宾夕法尼亚大学的当代艺术博物馆,功能包含了艺术画廊、艺术收藏、艺术家工作室以及工作管理空间。空间组织围绕着开敞的玻璃大厅展开,大厅管理是完全开敞的并包含了尺度不一的多用途空间,为游客、市民以及校园的使用者在这里创造了一个驻足交流的场所。

 

The site for the ICA overlooks the intersection where the campus of the University of Pennsylvania meets the city of Philadelphia. A large glass-enclosed lobby welcomes visitors from the campus as well as from the surrounding city and provides access to the gallery and multipurpose spaces. The building provides state of the art galleries for exhibition of contemporary art as well as office space and archives. Overshadowed by adjacent dormitory towers and underlain by subway tunnels, the site proved to be the greatest design challenge. The limestone base of the building was extended around the base of the towers, creating new access ramps to the towers and visually enlarging the presence of the ICA. The project was completed on an accelerated schedule within a tight budget, through close collaboration between Adèle Naudé Santos and Associates as design architects, Jacobs/Wyper as executive architects, and Barclay White Incorporated, design-build contractors.
