East Coast Tour (12) － Zaha Hadid's Contemporary Art Museum in Cincinnati
ROSENTHAL CENTER FOR CONTEMPORARY ART
This building is Zaha Hadid's first new project in the United States. Boy, we really visited quite a few of "first US buildings" of some famous "foreign" architects.
7 Sep 2003 上午, 我們造訪了辛辛那提市一個令人興奮的建築: Zaha Hadid 設計的當代藝術博物館. 非常巧合地, 這是 Zaha 在美的第一個案子. 哇, 我們還真看了不少大師在美國的第一個作品哩.

Rosenthal Center sits on a small corner lot (about 11,000 square feet) in downtown Cincinnati. The first thing you would notice while approaching the site is probably those boxes floating in the air over the glass base of the building, slightly distinguishing itself from the context. This building may not be as radical/angular as some of Hadid's design, yet it serves well sedately as an attention-drawer for activities it holds inside in an urban setting.
辛辛那提當代藝術博物館位於市中心一塊不大的角地 (約 11,000 平方呎). 當我們接近建築物時, 首先注意到的是漂浮在空中, 位於底層玻璃帷幕之上的一些塊狀量體. 這棟建築物或許不像一些Hadid 稜角分明的設計, 但是它很稱職地在都市間扮演好吸引注意力的角色.
As you enter the entrance, the concrete floor slab runs to the rear of the lobby and continues running upwards after it hits the wall forming a "skateboard halfpipe" in the junction, attempting to lead people to where the black steel ramp starts. Undoubtedly, the ramp circulation is one of Zaha's foci in this building. The ramps are allocated under the atrium, but slightly deviating from each other on each level to create special visual and movement experience.
當你進入大廳後, 水泥地坪伸展至大廳的後方, 並且在與牆交接處彎曲延伸向上, 形成一個類似供滑板特技使用的半圓桶形空間, 帶領你到坡道的起點. 坡道動線無疑地是 Zaha 在設計上的重點之一, 每層稍有錯落的坡道動線創造了特殊的視覺及移動經驗.
The museum consists of six floors with children's Unmuseum on the sixth floor. Zaha separates the ramp circulation with the display spaces. Each display space has a slightly different layout. Some critics think one of the most successful examples of architecture and art implementing each other is the exhibition of Inigo Manglano-Ovalle's Cloud Prototype for an Edition of 3 (the first picture of 5th row below) on 4th level while others might have conflicts between architecture and art/installation.
The overall quality of this building is good. We like Zaha Hadid!!
博物館共有六層. 兒童博物館位於第六層, 裡面有許多有趣的裝置. Zaha 將坡道動線及展示空間分離, 每一層的展示空間有些微差異. 某些評論家認為在第四層 Inigo Manglano-Ovalle 的 Cloud Prototype for an Edition of 3的展示 (見下方第五排第一個照片) 與建築物的互動最好, 而有些展示則與建築物有些衝突.
這個博物館總體的品質給我們感覺不錯. 我們喜歡 Zaha Hadid!! :D
