Olson Kundig-The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art
요르단 슈니처 미술관은 워싱턴 주립 대학의 위치하고 있다. 워싱턴 대학의 시그니처인 진홍색과 어울리도록 제작된 반사 파사드는 워싱턴 캠퍼스의 풀만 캠퍼스 한가운데에 있는 예술을 위한 등대로서 역할을 한다. 이 미술관의 디자인은 두 가지로 구성되어 있다. 첫 번째 부분은 박물관에 대한 비공식적인 입구 역하을 하며 임시 전시 및 이벤트를 주최하기 위한 유연하고 캐주얼한 공간으로 기능이다. 유리 패널 문은 더 큰 캠퍼스로 공간을 열어 학생들이 모이도록 장려한다. 두 번째 공간은 공식 갤러리를 수용하고 진홍색 파사드로 둘러싸인 기후 조절 공간인 진홍색 큐브이다. 이 큐브는 하늘, 캠퍼스 및 학생들 자신을 반영한다.
The new Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at Washington State University brings art to the forefront of university life – and the entire Inland Northwest region. As the only dedicated fine art museum in a 230-mile radius, Design Principal Jim Olson sought to create a building with bold visual appeal that would engage and inspire. The resulting reflective façade, crafted to match WSU’s signature crimson red, establishes the museum as a beacon for the arts in the heart of the Pullman, Washington campus.
Located on the site of WSU’s former public safety building, the new museum incorporates some of the old structures for an expanded footprint totaling 16,000 square feet. The design consists of two distinct parts: the first serves as an informal entry to the museum, functioning as a flexible, casual space for hosting temporary exhibits and events. A glass panel garage door opens the space to the larger campus, encouraging students to gather.
The second space is the “Crimson Cube,” a climate-controlled space that houses the formal galleries and is enveloped by the crimson façade. The mirrored glass façade reflects and weaves the building into the campus as much as it announces the presence of art, creating an ever-changing visual interplay. Intended to inspire and engage – much like the art housed within – the “Crimson Cube” reflects the sky, campus, and students themselves.
“Art is about creativity and the world needs creative thinking now more than ever. When students see themselves reflected in this building, they’ll see their lives through the lens of art.” – Jim Olson, FAIA, Design Principal
