Windermere Jetty Museum

摘要

Windermere Jetty Museum rehouses an internationally significant boat collection on the shores of Windermere in the United Kingdom's Lake District National Park.The building includes exhibition spaces for the display of steam launches,motorboats,yachts,and other vessels,telling the stories of their construction and use on the lake.A wet dock allows the display of boats on water within the museum,and the site's boatyard repurposes a historical gravel-extraction plant,continuing the working life of the site with an active program of boat conservation.Emphasis is placed on a visitor experience among buildings in a park landscape that creates strong connections among people,boats,and water,while it provides a reinterpretation of the site's industrial and picturesque heritage.The language of the architecture deliberately breaks down the scale of a large museum site into a cluster of pitched roof forms arranged around the wet dock and aligned spatially to the lakeshore.Extended canopies distinguish the function of each building as part of the overall museum ensemble and extend the inside spaces of the building with al-weather shelter into the landscape.
