Yale Sculpture Building And Gallery

摘要

The Yale Sculpture Building and Gallery extends westwards across the university's extraordinary arts district, forging entirely new urban relationships with the city at the edge of the campus. Situated on a former brownfield site, the new complex invites the city into and through the site while providing perimeter street frontage where previously none existed. The LEED Platinum Rating of this project was the outcome of a fully integrated design process that carried the project from programming through occupancy in 22 months, and relied heavily on information modelling. A four-storey glass studio building sits in the core of the perimeter block, with a single-storey store-front gallery on the street frontage to the north. Adjacent to the studio building, on the west side, is a four-storey parking garage with retail space on the ground floor. The gallery and parking structure re-establish the perimeter block, while the studio building acts as a lantern, illuminating the interior core.
