01 项目背景 Project Background “今天，我把69年来所创作的317本画稿全部捐给高平市，同时还将举办学术讲座，让更多的学生在寓教于乐中，通过漫画了解中国五千年的文化思想，将学习变成一大乐事。一个人只要找到最喜欢、最拿手的事，并把它做到极致，无论做什么，没有不成功的。而我用了69年只做了一件事。”蔡志忠美术馆奠基仪式上，台湾漫画家蔡志忠分享了自己的心路历程和对美术馆的捐赠愿望。
“今天，我把69年来所创作的317本画稿全部捐给高平市，同时还将举办学术讲座，让更多的学生在寓教于乐中，通过漫画了解中国五千年的文化思想，将学习变成一大乐事。一个人只要找到最喜欢、最拿手的事，并把它做到极致，无论做什么，没有不成功的。而我用了69年只做了一件事。”蔡志忠美术馆奠基仪式上，台湾漫画家蔡志忠分享了自己的心路历程和对美术馆的捐赠愿望。
“Today, I am donating all the 317 drawings I have created over the past 69 years to the city of Gaoping, and will also hold academic lectures so that more students can learn about China’s 5,000 years of cultural thought through cartoons in a fun and educational way, turning learning into a great joy. If a person finds what he likes best, what he is best at, and does it to the best of his ability, no matter what he does, there is nothing that he will not succeed in. And I have spent 69 years doing just one thing.” At the foundation stone laying ceremony of the Tsai Chi-Chung Museum, Taiwanese cartoonist Tsai Chi-Chung shared his journey and his wish to donate to the museum.

高平是神农炎帝故里、长平之战发生地、中国古建博物馆、上党梆子之乡，是一个抓一把泥土都能渗出文明汁液的地方。高平深厚的历史文化底蕴与丰富的历史题材为蔡志忠的漫画创作提供了丰富的素材和创作灵感。蔡志忠美术馆的落户，是高平市深化海峡两岸文化交流合作的重要成果，也是高平城市转型和文化事业发展史上的一件大事喜事。它不仅将成为高平市独特的文化地标，更是海峡两岸文化艺术展示和交流的平台。美术馆集美学艺术、展览交流于一体，将全面系统展示蔡志忠先生的美术作品，通过艺术展览、学术交流、公共教育等全方面活动形式，让美术馆成为最佳的文化艺术展示和交流平台。
Gaoping is the hometown of Shennong Yandi, the site of the Battle of Changping, the Museum of Chinese Ancient Architecture and the hometown of Shangdang Bangzi, a place where the juice of civilization can ooze from a handful of clay. Gaoping’s deep historical and cultural heritage and rich historical themes provide rich material and inspiration for Tsai Chih Chung’s cartoon creations. The establishment of the Tsai Chih Chung Art Museum is an important achievement in deepening cultural exchanges and cooperation across the Taiwan Strait in Gaoping, and a major event in the history of Gaoping’s urban transformation and cultural development. It will not only become a unique cultural landmark in Gaoping City, but also a platform for the display and exchange of culture and art across the Taiwan Strait. Integrating aesthetic art, exhibition and exchange, the art museum will comprehensively and systematically display Mr. Tsai Chih Chung’s art works, and make the museum the best platform for cultural and artistic display and exchange through art exhibitions, academic exchanges, public education and other all-round activities.

项目位于山西省高平市，这个7030平方米的美术馆坐落在高平市优美的山湖风光之中，该馆的设计灵感源自蔡志忠老师动态的书画笔触，笔起自高瞻远瞩的“山”顶工作室，笔落于悠然自得的“水”上漫步，建筑和山湖之间的界限变得模糊，浑然天成。
Located in Gao Ping City, Shanxi Province, this 7030 sqm art museum is set amidst the beautiful mountain and lake scenery of Gao Ping City. The design of the museum is inspired by the dynamic brushstrokes of Tsai Chih Chung’s calligraphy and painting, the brush starts from the visionary “mountain”top studio and falls on the leisurely “water”he boundaries between the building and the mountain and lake become blurred and seamless.
▲设计构思：山水画禅 Design concept: Chan painting in the landscape
▲美术馆主立面Main elevation of the Art Museum
建筑的外部被红砖包裹，采用最质朴的材料和周边的环境保持最友好的关系。连续的折线元素，以坚硬的“笔触”将建筑划分为几个形状与功能各不相同的区块。根据区域规划，建筑的西侧为艺术家工作室群，建筑的西侧是南湖。考虑到呼应场地内的主要元素，建筑主要分为主体建筑和蔡志忠宅院两个部分。二者通过天桥进行联通，将蔡志忠宅院插入到艺术家工作室群，一方面是为了将美术馆与艺术家的工作生活联系到一起，而另一方面，从设计的角度而言，是将折线元素延伸到了周边的建筑群中，像是涟漪一般从内向外发散而去。
The exterior of the building is wrapped in red brick, using the most rustic materials to maintain the most friendly relationship with the surrounding environment. The continuous folding elements, with their hard ‘brush strokes’, divide the building into blocks of varying shapes and functions. According to the zoning plan, the western side of the building is the artist’s studio complex and the western side of the building is the South Lake. In order to echo the main elements of the site, the building is divided into two parts: the main building and the Tsai Chih Chung residence. The two are linked by a footbridge, inserting the Tsai Chih Chung courtyard into the artist’s studio complex, in order to link the museum with the artist’s working life on the one hand, and on the other hand, from a design point of view, to extend the folding elements into the surrounding buildings, like ripples that spread outwards from the inside.

▲前部广场人视角 Front Square People View
建筑的主体由中庭划分，形成三个体块，形成不同的功能。
第一部分是建筑东侧的美术馆，同时文化馆的主入口也设置于此。游客通过前广场，经由水上廊道进入文化馆中。从东向西看去，建筑依山傍水，虚实相生。由远及近，通过一个曲折的长廊，游人恰好体会从自然进入到建筑的感觉。第二部分则是建筑东南角的蔡志忠工作室，局部四层的设计，对应着“笔起于山”，山顶工作室强调着建筑与南湖和牛山的呼应，顶层的落地窗最大限度地提供了景观视野，湖光山色尽收眼底。而由山远眺而来，山顶工作室同样是视线的落点。其独特的材质与优美的笔触使其成为场地内的一处明显的地标。最后一部分是建筑西侧的商业及餐饮服务区。餐饮服务区只做一层，对应着“笔落于水”，由上至下，从山顶跃入水中，层层递进。最终人们的视线落于南湖，形成一幅和谐的画面。
The main body of the building is divided by the atrium, which forms three body blocks, creating different functions.
The first part is the art gallery on the east side of the building, where the main entrance to the cultural centre is also located. Visitors enter the museum through the front square and through the water corridor. The view from east to west shows the building’s relationship with the water and the mountains. From far to near, through a long, winding corridor, visitors experience the sense of entering the building from nature. The second part of the building is Tsai Chih Chung’s studio in the south-east corner of the building. The partial four-storey design corresponds to the ‘pen rising from the mountain’, and the studio at the top of the hill emphasises the building’s echo with South Lake and Niu Mountain, with floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor providing maximum views of the lake and the mountains. And from the mountain in the distance, the Peak Studio is also the point of view. Its distinctive materials and graceful brushstrokes make it a clear landmark within the site. The final part of the building is the commercial and food service area to the west of the building. The food and beverage service area is one level only, corresponding to the ‘pen falling on water’, which leaps from the top of the hill into the water in a progressive manner. Ultimately the eye falls on the South Lake, creating a harmonious picture.

总体来看，由硬质“笔触”所分割而成的建筑形体错落有致，如雕塑一般精巧，和远方的山脉与近处的南湖交相呼应。折线所带来的明确的流线感，指引着建筑中部的天窗是采光的重要的部分，为中庭带来了足够的自然照明，同时也极大的增加了建筑的流动性，形成了“疏可跑马，密不透风”的空间感觉。
Overall, the building is divided by rigid ‘strokes’, which are sculptural in form, echoing the mountains in the distance and the South Lake in the near distance. The clear flow of the folding lines guides the skylight in the middle of the building, which is an important part of the light, bringing sufficient natural lighting to the atrium and also greatly increasing the fluidity of the building, creating a feeling of space that is “sparse enough to run a horse, but dense enough to be permeable”.
▲主入口前水景 Water feature in front of the main entrance
由廊道连接进入主入口，开阔的中庭与大落地窗极具吸引力。折角的设计很有冲击感，而突然的一个内折形成的大门与大面积的落地窗，与坚硬的折角设计和整体封闭的立面形成对比，这种吸引力促使人们进入建筑内部去一探究竟。
Joined by a gallery into the main entrance, the open atrium with large floor-to-ceiling windows is extremely attractive. The impact of the folded corners and the sudden inward folding of a door with large floor-to-ceiling windows, in contrast to the hard folded corners and the overall closed fa?ade, is an attraction that drives people into the building to explore the interior.
▲室内空间 Interior space
▲建筑内部的空间体验 The spatial experience inside the building
▲室内坡道 Indoor ramp
建筑内部的廊道，与建筑外部相比，采用相对柔软的“笔触”，丰富了室内的空间，廊道的走势正如蔡老师书法，行云流水，落笔如云烟，辅以自然采光所形成的光影关系。市民或者游客在廊道上行走的时候可以获得微妙的视觉感官体验和建筑漫游的艺术体验。
The spatial experience inside the building is enriched by the relatively soft ‘brush strokes’ of the corridors, which follow the path of Mr Cai’s calligraphy, flowing like clouds and smoke, complemented by the relationship between light and shadow created by natural lighting. The public and visitors walking along the corridor will have a subtle visual sensory experience and an artistic experience of architectural wandering.
▲极具延伸感的内部廊道 Extensive interior corridors
建筑中庭的感觉极具延伸感，配以中庭天窗，身处于建筑内部，也能感受到似乎置身于自然之中，建筑的主次入口分别连接于中庭的上下两侧，随着廊道的流动性，建筑内外的边界也随之模糊起来，游客会不自觉的被建筑吸引，走进参观，又会不自觉地对此流连忘返。
The building’s atrium has a very extended feel, and with the atrium skylight, you can feel like you are in nature even when you are inside the building. The main and secondary entrances to the building are connected to the upper and lower sides of the atrium, and with the fluidity of the corridors, the boundary between the inside and outside of the building is blurred.
▲展厅围绕中庭设置，环形展览流线 The exhibition hall is set around an atrium with a circular exhibition flow
▲从室内望向户外平台Looking out onto the outdoor terrace from inside
展厅布置在中庭的两侧，通过环形坡道进行连接，环形的展览流线，确保了游客参观的完整性。视线的通透感，又增强了展厅与展厅之间的趣味性。每次由展厅进入中庭或由中庭进入展厅，光线的变化使人有种“移步换景”的感受。
The exhibition halls are arranged on either side of the atrium, connected by a circular ramp, with a circular exhibition flow that ensures the integrity of the visitor’s visit. The permeability of the sight lines, in turn, enhances the interest between the galleries. Each time you enter the atrium from the exhibition halls or from the atrium into the exhibition halls, the light changes to give the impression of a ‘change of scenery’.

南立面面向艺术家工作室群，因此在立面设计中着重体现了艺术性。规则的方形开窗营造出秩序感，同时在立面上出现了由天桥以及室外楼梯营造而成的虚空间，实墙围合而成的实体空间以及落地窗与露台形成的虚空间，虚实相生。而对于点线面的处理关系，也极大的丰富了南侧立面的设计感。
The south fa?ade faces the artist’s studio complex and therefore the fa?ade design focuses on artistry. The regular square window openings create a sense of order, while on the fa?ade there are virtual spaces created by the footbridge and outdoor staircase, solid spaces enclosed by solid walls and virtual spaces formed by floor-to-ceiling windows and terraces, where the real meets the imaginary. The relationship between points and lines also enriches the design of the south facade.
▲建筑西立面 West elevation
商业、展馆与山顶工作室形成三种不同高度与体量的体块，三者之间功能不同但是联系密切，相辅相成之中形成了建筑整体与山水互相衬托的关系。
The commercial area, the pavilion and the hilltop studio form three blocks of different heights and volumes, which have different functions but are closely linked and complement each other to form a relationship between the building as a whole and the landscape.

▲主入口立面 Main entrance elevation
从建筑主立面看，建筑仿佛是漂浮在水面之上，只有入口处的玻璃与水面接壤形成通路，整个里面的实反衬出入口处的虚，由虚入实，起到很好的吸引作用
From the main fa?ade, the building appears to be floating above the water, with only the glass at the entrance bordering the water to form a pathway, the reality of the whole inside contrasts with the emptiness of the entrance, from the emptiness into the reality, playing a very attractive role

蔡志忠美术馆展示了高平市、自然和人民的特色。它的存在鼓励着当地人民对艺术生活的追求，拓宽了高平市人民的视野，同时也吸引着外地的游客来到这里欣赏蔡志忠先生的作品。以建筑作为圆心，源源不断的向四面八方去传播文化与艺术的思想潮流，正如前文提到的涟漪一般，潜移默化、润物细无声一般地去改变一个区域一个城市人民的生活品质。随着蔡志忠美术馆这个新的地标正在兴起，为高平市带来了人性、艺术和自然的融合，即将成为该地区重要的文化中心。
The Tsai Chih Chung Art Museum showcases the character of the city, nature and people of Gaoping City. Its existence encourages the local people in their pursuit of artistic life, broadens the horizons of the people of Gao Ping, and also attracts visitors from outside the city to come and enjoy the works of Mr. Tsai Chih Chung. With the building as the centre of the circle, the trend of culture and art is continuously spread in all directions, just like the ripples mentioned above, changing the quality of life of people in a region and a city in a subtle and silent way. With the Tsai Chih Chung Art Museum emerging as a new landmark, bringing a fusion of humanity, art and nature to the city of Gaoping, it is about to become an important cultural centre for the region.
最后，以蔡志忠美术馆作为一个地标节点，宽建筑将继续以宽广的跨界思维、宽阔的时空视野，为人民创造宽远意境之城市空间
Finally, with the Tsai Chih Chung Art Museum as a landmark node, Kuan Architects will continue to think broadly across boundaries and create a broad spatial and temporal vision of urban space for the people.
