由BIG设计的苏州当代美术馆完工在即
由BIG设计的苏州当代美术馆（苏州MoCA）即将向公众开放。这座占地60,000平方米的美术馆由12个村落般的展亭组成，汇聚在如丝带般起伏的屋顶之下，以现代设计语言诠释了苏州数百年来在城市、建筑与景观中传承的园林意象。
The Suzhou Museum of Contemporary Art (Suzhou MoCA) designed by BIG will soon open its doors to the public. Conceived as a village of 12 pavilions under a ribbon-like roof, the 60,000-m museum offers a modern interpretation of the garden elements that have defined Suzhou’s urbanism, architecture, and landscape for centuries.

在苏州圆融发展集团委托下，由BIG与ARTS Group及Front Inc.合作设计的苏州当代美术馆， 位于金鸡湖湖畔，正逐渐成为中国当代艺术、设计与公共生活的崭新地标。美术馆预计于2026年正式对外开放。
Commissioned by Suzhou Harmony Development Group and designed by BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group in collaboration with ARTS Group and Front Inc., Suzhou MoCA is located along the Jinji Lake waterfront as a new venue for contemporary art, design, and public life in China. The museum will officially open its doors to the public in 2026.

美术馆的设计灵感源自苏州园林的造园传统，特别是对“廊”的意象进行了全新解读，巧妙地勾画出一条流动的路径。10个互相连通的展亭在一片屋顶下汇聚，屋顶柔和起伏的曲线描绘出苏式瓦檐的轮廓。其余两个展亭将于明年建成，横跨金鸡湖，并通过廊道与主建筑相连。
▼概念生成，concept generation
The architecture of the museum is rooted in the tradition of Suzhou’s gardens by reimagining the ‘lang’ 廊- a long, covered corridor that traces a path. Ten interconnected pavilions are unified beneath a continuous roof whose gentle undulations recall the silhouette of tiled eaves. The remaining two pavilions will be built next year, extending over Jinji Lake and linking to the main structure via covered pathways.

美术馆的立面由波纹曲面玻璃与暖色调不锈钢构成，映照出周围的天空、水面与园林，巧妙地模糊了建筑与自然环境的界限。各展馆通过桥梁和地下隧道连接，赋予美术馆灵活的流线管理系统， 可根据季节变化和不同展览需求进行调整。整个建筑群由一系列庭院和花园组成，游客将在这片融合艺术、历史、自然与水景的空间中，开启一段独特的旅程。
Clad in rippled and curved glass and warm-toned stainless steel, the façades reflect the surrounding sky, water, and gardens – blurring the boundaries between architecture and the natural environment. The pavilions are connected above and underground via bridges and tunnels, offering the museum flexibility to manage circulation according to seasons and exhibitions. Together, the rooms frame a sequence of gardens and courtyards, guiding visitors on a journey that intertwines art, history, nature, and water.

参观者到达美术馆时，首先映入眼帘的是访客中心前的开阔广场。从这里，游客可以选择深入展馆参观，或沿着环绕周围的步道漫步。站在苏州摩天轮上，可以俯瞰整个湖面，而步道则延伸至金鸡湖畔。
Arriving at the museum, visitors are welcomed by an expansive plaza in front of the Visitor Centre. From here, museumgoers can proceed inside or explore the grounds, meandering along the walkways that extend out into Jinji Lake, which can be seen from above while on the Suzhou Ferris wheel.

馆内，自然光透过高侧窗和天窗倾泻而下，勾画出展厅内光影交织的动态画面。
Inside, natural light enters through clerestories and skylights, animating the galleries with a play of shadow and reflection.

美术馆的四个展亭构成核心观展空间，其他展亭分别为宏伟的入口大厅、多功能厅、剧场和餐厅。一条贯穿全馆的动线引导参观者前行，并细化了各展馆之间的观览路径。
Four of the museum’s pavilions comprise the main gallery experience, while the remaining pavilions include a grand entrance space, multifunction hall, theater, and restaurant. A continuous path guides visitors through the museum, branching off into smaller routes between the galleries.

美术馆的景观设计通过一系列相互连接的花园，在金鸡湖畔创造了一个温馨宜人的公共空间。当 游客步入滨水区，花园景观从硬质铺装逐渐过渡到绿植覆盖，最终呈现以水生植物为主题的布局， 展现了从美术馆到陆地，再到湖泊的自然延续。
The museum’s landscape design creates a welcoming public space along Jinji Lake through a series of interconnected gardens. As visitors approach the waterfront, the gardens gradually transition from hardscape to greenery to finally water-themed plantings, reflecting a natural progression from museum to land to lake.

苏州当代美术馆力求达到中国绿色建筑评价标识二星级标准，通过整合被动式遮阳、自然通风和本地建筑材料的使用，为城市塑造一座文化地标。
Designed to achieve China’s GBEL 2-Star Green Building certification, Suzhou MoCA integrates passive shading, natural ventilation, and locally sourced materials to create a cultural landmark for the city.
