ANCHORAGE MUSEUM

摘要

It's an ocean, a continent, and a far cry from Berlin to Anchorage, Alaska, but London-based David Chipperfield Architects was working on the renovation of Friedrich August Stueler's Neues Museum and the expansion of the Anchorage Museum at about the same time. If the architects were responding to the grandeur of history in urbanistically dense, culturally loaded Berlin, they responded to a different form of grandeur in Anchorage-the Cugach Mountains-and to another urbanism: a sprawling frontier city with wood-frame houses sprinkled among commercial mid-rises.
