项目 – 在当代设计与历史传承的精妙融合中，Snøhetta携手本地设计团队Alley Poyner Macchietto Architecture，为美国奥马哈市的乔斯林美术馆打造了令人瞩目的扩建方案。这个雄心勃勃的项目为这座文化地标注入了新的生命力，巧妙地将美术馆丰富的建筑遗产与前瞻性的空间理念无缝衔接。

扩建的核心是一个42000平方英尺的新馆区，仿佛悬浮于景观之上，其水平线条呼应了内布拉斯加广阔的天际。这座新翼不仅增加了光线充足的展厅，扩大了美术馆的展览容量，还在艺术、建筑和自然环境之间创造了一场对话。

Snøhetta对公共空间的标志性处理在重新构想的场地中显露无遗。超过3英亩的花园和户外装置消解了室内外的界限。设计团队精心打造了全新的入口秩序空间，引导参观者穿越精心策划的景观体验，最终抵达戏剧性的新主入口。

扩建部分的立面是对现有装饰艺术风格建筑的现代诠释，预制面板中微妙的粉色骨料呼应了1931年原建筑的乔治亚粉红大理石。这一细心的材料选择在近一个世纪的建筑演变中创造了视觉的连贯性。

室内设计中一个高耸的中庭成为新旧交融的枢纽，为游客提供了欣赏历史立面的绝佳视角，同时通过一个缓缓上升的中央楼梯将他们引向上方。这个空间体现了项目的核心理念：尊重历史，同时大胆迈向文化互动的未来。

团队 – 来自挪威的著名的斯诺赫塔建筑事务所（Snøhetta）成立于1989年，已发展成为全球设计领域的榜样之一，巧妙地融合了建筑、景观设计、室内设计等多个创意领域。这家总部位于奥斯陆的事务所，以挪威著名山峰命名，凭借其对环境敏感性和文化参与度的高度重视而声名鹊起。

在创始合伙人谢蒂尔·特雷达尔·托尔森（Kjetil Trædal Thorsen）的带领下，斯诺赫塔的作品范围从精巧的装置艺术到大型城市开发项目无所不包。他们的突破性项目——埃及亚历山大图书馆为后续的标志性作品奠定了基础，如奥斯陆挪威国家歌剧院和芭蕾舞剧院，以及纽约世贸中心911纪念博物馆。

斯诺赫塔的设计理念强调对话驱动的过程和可持续创新。他们对建筑的方法是整体性的，既考虑人类也考虑非人类栖息地，并融入先进的可持续技术。事务所对环境管理的承诺在诸如特隆赫姆的Powerhouse Brattørkaia（一座能源正效益建筑）等项目中得到充分体现。

斯诺赫塔在全球九个办公室拥有来自40个国家的350多名员工，保持着非层级化的组织结构，促进创造力和协作。他们的作品赢得了众多荣誉，包括阿加汗建筑奖和密斯·凡·德罗奖，巩固了他们在当代建筑实践前沿的地位。

Project：Joslyn Art Museum

Team：Snøhetta + APMA

Size：42000 ft²

Location：Omaha, Nebraska, USA

Feature：

Project - The Joslyn Art Museum's expansion in Omaha, Nebraska, designed by Snøhetta and Alley Poyner Macchietto Architecture, exemplifies a seamless integration of modern design with historical reverence. This transformative project revitalizes the museum while respecting its architectural legacy. Central to the expansion is a striking 42,000-square-foot wing, appearing to float above the landscape. Its elongated, horizontal form reflects the expansive Nebraskan sky, providing new, light-filled galleries that enhance the museum’s exhibition capabilities and foster a connection between art, architecture, and nature.

The redesign extends beyond the building's interior. Snøhetta's renowned approach to public spaces is evident in the reimagined outdoor areas, featuring over three acres of gardens and installations that blur the lines between interior and exterior spaces. A new entry sequence takes visitors through a curated landscape, leading them to the museum's newly designed entrance.

The façade of the addition is a modern interpretation of the original 1931 Art Deco structure, utilizing precast panels with pink aggregates that subtly echo the museum’s historic Georgia Pink marble. Inside, a grand atrium links the old and new spaces, with views of the original building’s façade and a gently sloping staircase that leads visitors upwards. This space encapsulates the project’s goal: to honor the museum’s rich history while creating a bold new chapter in its cultural evolution.

Design Team - Founded in 1989, Snøhetta has emerged as a global leader in transdisciplinary design, seamlessly integrating architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, and various other creative disciplines. This Oslo-based firm, named after a prominent Norwegian mountain, has built its reputation on a foundation of environmental sensitivity and cultural engagement.

Led by founding partner Kjetil Trædal Thorsen, Snøhetta's portfolio spans from intimate installations to large-scale urban developments. Their breakthrough project, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Egypt, set the stage for subsequent iconic works such as the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet in Oslo and the National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion in New York City.

Snøhetta's design philosophy emphasizes dialogue-driven processes and sustainable innovation. Their approach to architecture is holistic, considering both human and non-human habitats, and integrating advanced sustainable technologies. The firm's commitment to environmental stewardship is evident in projects like the Powerhouse Brattørkaia, a net-positive energy building in Trondheim.

With over 350 employees from 40 nations across nine global studios, Snøhetta maintains a non-hierarchical structure that fosters creativity and collaboration. Their work has garnered numerous accolades, including the Aga Khan Award for Architecture and the Mies van der Rohe Award, cementing their position at the forefront of contemporary architectural practice.
