The Art of Archive 艺术档案馆

This project is inspired by art authority and philanthropist, Eli Broad's call to museums to display more art. Both designers agree that it is dishonest tectonically and politically to steal the archive away, hidden in a mysterious basement. Instead, the archives are freed, by allowing them to wrap intricately around the galleries and become part of an ellipsoidal sculpture garden.

A visible, robotic system is used to retrieve new art, akin to a modern library's automated system. Creating a spectacle out of the automated archive system integrates the galleries, archives, and spaces in between, and strengthens the museums-goers experience.

这个项目的灵感来自艺术权威和慈善家埃利·布罗德的呼吁——他希望博物馆可以展出更多的艺术作品。两位设计师都认为，把藏在一个神秘地下室里的档案偷走，从学术上和政治上都属于不真诚的。相反，通过将它们无规律地布置在画廊周围，成为椭圆形雕塑花园的一部分，则极大可能的增加档案的自由性。
一个可视机器人系统被用来检索新的艺术品，类似于现代图书馆的自动化系统。在自动化档案系统之外创建一个场景，集合画廊、档案和中间的空间，还可以加强博物馆参观者的体验感。
