化腐朽為神奇 Herzog & de Meuron 建築新作 CaixaForum 亮相馬德里


馬德里最新當代藝術博物館開廈銀行廣場當代藝術館(CaixaForum Madrid)
日前在馬德里城市中心地帶正式開門迎客,博物館與普拉多博物館(Prado Museum)、提森·波爾內米薩美術館等一系列收藏有古典藝術作品的重要博物館毗鄰,耗資9400萬美元,項目經費來源於開廈銀行基金會。

由瑞士建築師赫爾佐格與德梅隆(Herzog & de Meuron)擔綱設計的這一博物館由一座百年歷史的發電廠改建而成。博物館的開張為城市成功保留歷史遺存提供了又一典型範例。當地評論稱,該發電廠建築本身是具有偉大歷史意義的工業遺產。

發電廠19世紀的磚墻被設計師完整保留,但為了減少過多遊客對建築本身構成的威脅,設計師在建築前的廣場地下增設通道,遊客可繞開墻體進入建築內。地下展示區有兩個樓層,而整座老建築的最高處還包括兩個鐵質的類似閣樓的結構。

建築師赫爾佐格介紹說:「事實上,地面已不承載建築的任何重量,它擺脫了地心引力,21世紀的技術提供了化腐朽為神奇的可能性。它在建築師中間製造了一場關於設計自由界限的探討。」

最讓人讚嘆的是建築師改建了24米高的垂直立體花園。新的藝術館以辯論和教育性質的節目、巡迴展覽等為主。開幕展覽展出了辛迪·舍曼、科妮莉亞·帕克,理查德·朗等當代藝術家的37件作品。

CaixaForum Madrid by Herzog & de Meuron Architects / Madrid, Spain

The CaixaForum Madrid is a new cultural center in the historical center of Madrid, near the renowned Prado, Reina Sofia and Thyssen-Bornemisza museums, designed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, the 2001 Pritzker Architecture Prize winners. The CaixaForum is a restoration and expansion of one of the few examples of industrial architecture in Madrid's historical center, the old power plant Central Eléctrica del Mediodía. Herzog & de Meuron used four basic principles to redesign of the building: to restore the brick outer layer using traditional techniques, to get rid of the stone base around the power plant, to open up a new public square with an entrance on Paseo del Prado and to add volume. The seven-floor, brick and cast iron building will hold art exhibitions, film screenings, concerts and conferences. The Caixa Forum was inaugurated on February 13, 2008. The inaugural exhibition presents almost 40 pieces from the Caixa Foundation's (Obra Social Fundación 「la Caixa」) permanent collection, including works from artists such as Cindy Sherman, Anselm Kiefer, Sigmar Polke, Carlos Amorales, Roni Horn and Ferrán García Sevilla. We visited the CaixaForum shortly after its inauguration on February 13, 2008. CaixaForum Madrid, Spain, February 16, 2008.

Architectural photographer Duccio Malagamba has relaunched his website with new images including these of CaixaForum Madrid by architects Herzog & de Meuron.



The CaixaForum arts centre, which opened earlier this year in Madrid, Spain, incorporates walls from a power station that previously occupied the site. It includes galleries, administrative offices and a restaurant in the upper levels, as well as an auditorium below ground level.



Malagamba’s website is now accessible to anyone and includes recent work alongside much of his archive. Projects can be searched by architect, location or type.

Here’s some more information about CaixaForum from Herzog & de Meuron:

A Magnet
The CaixaForum is conceived as an urban magnet attracting not only the art-lovers but all people of Madrid and from outside. The attraction will not only be CaixaForum’s cultural program, but also the building itself, insofar that its heavy mass is detached from the ground in apparent defiance of the laws of gravity and, in a real sense, draw the visitors inside.


A new address for the arts

The CaixaForum-Madrid stands on an advantageous site facing the Paseo del Prado and the Botanical Garden vis à vis. This new address for the arts is located in an area occupied until now by unspectacular urban structures, the Central Eléctrica Power Station, and a gas station.



The classified brick walls of the former power station are reminiscences of the early industrial age in Madrid, while the gas station, a purely functional structure, was clearly out of place. Like a vineyard that could never develop its full potential because it was planted with the wrong grape, this prominent location could not develop its full potential. The demolition of the gas station created a small plaza between the Paseo del Prado and the new CaixaForum in the converted power station.


A spectacular transformation

The only material of the old power station that we could use was the classified brick shell. In order to conceive and insert the new architectural components of the CaixaForum Project, we began with a surgical operation, separating and removing the base and the parts of the building no longer needed. This opened a completely novel and spectacular perspective that simultaneously solved a number of problems posed by the site.



The removal of the base of the building left a covered plaza under the brick shell, which now appears to float above the street level. This sheltered space under the CaixaForum offers its shade to visitors who want to spend time or meet outside and is at the same time the entrance to the Forum itself. Problems such as the narrowness of the surrounding streets, the placement of the main entrance, and the architectural identity of this contemporary art institution could be addressed and solved in a single urbanistic and sculptural gesture.



A construction below and a construction above ground
The separation of the structure from the ground level creates two worlds: one below and the other above the ground. The “underworld” buried beneath the topographically landscaped plaza provides space for a theater/auditorium, service rooms, and several parking spaces.



The multi-storied building above ground houses the entrance lobby and galleries, a restaurant and administrative offices. There is a contrast between the flexible and loft-like character of the exhibition spaces and the spatial complexity of the top floor with its restaurant/bar and the offices. The surprising sculptural aspect of the CaixaForum’s silhouette is no mere architectural fancy, but reflects the roofscape of the surrounding buildings.
