CUKRARNA GALLERY
下载所需积分: 5
Cukrarna是位于斯洛文尼亚卢布尔雅那的一座前糖厂，建于1828年。在其两百年的历史中，它曾是一家糖厂，因一场灾难性的火灾而被毁，后来成为一家烟草工厂、纺织工厂、军营和流浪者收容所。它还是斯洛文尼亚现代时期许多诗人和作家的暂时家园，这对确立斯洛文尼亚作为独立国家至关重要。由于其作为19世纪工业纪念物的重要性，它被列为受保护的建筑，而由于其丰富的历史，它牢固地根植于斯洛文尼亚民族的潜意识中，成为了文化象征。
2009年，卢布尔雅那市政府组织了一场国际竞赛，以找到最佳的对该国家纪念物进行翻新的建议。Scapelab以将建筑的所有内部结构切割出来，仅保留历史外壳，并将建筑改造成为当代艺术的多功能空间的关键想法赢得了比赛。
底层是城市公共空间的延伸，对所有人免费开放。进入时，游客会意识到这座前工厂的巨大规模。画廊体量被设计为“白色方块”画廊，悬挂在钢屋架上方的地面，它们与历史外壳之间有一个可见的间隙，并被穿孔、光滑的金属皮肤包裹，与历史外壳的混凝土墙形成对比。
穿孔皮肤是一种美学装置，明显标志着新的体积，但也是一个功能性元素。它是一个吸音器，减少了混响，这使得可以在主厅举行音乐会；它也是一个照明装置和暖通空调分配系统。
建筑物有一个新挖掘的地下室，其中设有专门的表演艺术空间、储物柜、技术空间和准备展览的车间。画廊酒吧被设计成一个音乐舞台，在晚上变成爵士俱乐部和现场音乐场地。
画廊空间被设计为不同比例的“白色方块”画廊。在关键位置，画廊空间是透明的，向游客展示内部空间的新视角。部分画廊空间也专门用作教育、讲座和儿童工作坊的场所。
新的Cukrarna代表了卢布尔雅那市文化基础设施中的一种革命性新空间。它是城市中心边缘的一个城市吸引器，重塑了一个以前荒废的城市区域。它建立了其形象和美学基础于其丰富的工业遗产之上，采用简单的材料，并将重复作为工业革命的隐喻。这种工业选择的材料和视觉语言被精心重新构思为一个漂浮的体积构成，从曾经居住在这里的诗人的丰富文化历史中汲取灵感，为未来的艺术家提供一个平台。
Cukrarna is a former sugar refinery, built in 1828 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. During its' two-hundred-year history, it was a sugar refinery, destroyed in a disastrous fire, and later a tobacco factory, a textile factory, a military barracks, and a homeless shelter. It was also a temporary home for many poets and writers from Slovenia's Modern period, which was key to establishing Slovenia as an independent nation. Due to its' significance as a monument of 19th century industry, it has been listed as a protected building, and due to its rich history, it is firmly anchored in the Slovenian nations' subconscious as a cultural symbol.
In 2009 the City municipality of Ljubljana organized an international competition to find the best proposal for the renovation of this national monument. Scapelab won the competition with the key idea to carve out all internal structures of the building, preserving only the historic envelope, and converting the building into a multi-functional space for contemporary art.
The ground floor is an extension of urban public space, accessible to all, free of charge. Upon entering, visitors are made aware of the gargantuan dimensions of the former factory. The gallery volumes, designed as »white cube« galleries, levitate above the ground floor, hanging from the steel roof structure. They are separated from the historic envelope by a visible gap, and are wrapped in perforated, sleek metal skin, contrasting the concrete walls of the historic envelope.
The perforated skin is an aesthetic device, visibly marking the new volumes – but also a functional element. It is an acoustic dampener, reducing reverberation, which makes it possible to hold concerts in the main hall; it is also a lighting fixture, and an HVAC distribution system.
The building has a newly excavated basement, which holds a dedicated space for performance art, lockers, technical spaces, and workshops for preparing exhibitions. The gallery bar is designed as a sound stage, becoming a jazz club and live music venue in the evening.
The gallery spaces are designed as "white cube" galleries of different proportions. In key positions, the gallery spaces are transparent, showing the visitors new perspectives of the interior space. Part of the gallery spaces is also dedicated as a space for education, lectures, and children’s workshops.
The New Cukrarna represents a revolutionary new space in the cultural infrastructure of the city of Ljubljana. It is an urbanistic attractor at the city center’s edge, regenerating a former derelict city area. It builds its image and aesthetic upon its rich industrial heritage, working with simple materials, and using repetition as a metaphor of the industrial revolution. This industrial choice of materials and visual language is carefully reworked as a floating composition of volumes, drawing inspiration from the rich cultural history of the poets who once resided here, to provide a platform for artists of the future.
