Scottish Cliffs

摘要

On Sept. 15, London's Victoria & Albert Museum opened an outpost in Scotland: the V&A Dundee, part of a 30-year, £1 billion ($1.3 billion) redevelopment of the city's waterfront that kicked off seven years ago. Tokyo- and Paris-based Kengo Kuma and Associates derived the 8,445-square-meter (go, go1-square-foot) museum's form from the country's sharp cliffs and the site's maritime history. At its most dramatic point, the building angles nearly 20 meters (roughly 65 feet) past its base. The exterior is clad with 2,429 precast concrete panels of various size and orientation, designed to cast fluctuating shadows on the facade.
