架构师提供的文本描述。位于曼海姆的弗里德里希斯普拉兹的新博物馆大楼与现有的新艺术建筑-所谓的“收费”建筑-联系在一起，并被设计为“城市中的城市”。在一个简单的整体结构中，单个立方体被布置成一个鼓舞人心的构图，以提供展览空间和支持功能的房间。它们包括一个中央中庭，并通过画廊，梯田和桥梁连接。类似于构成城市环境的元素-建筑物、街区、街道和广场-通过封闭和开放的空间，通过不断变化的景观和景色，为游客创造了多种多样的环形路线。

Text description provided by the architects. The new museum building at Friedrichsplatz in Mannheim links up with the existing Art Nouveau building, the so-called “Billing” building, and has been designed as a “city in the city.” Within a simple overall structure, individual cubes have been arranged in an inspiring composition to provide exhibition space and rooms for supporting functions. They enclose a central atrium and are linked via galleries, terraces, and bridges. In analogy to the elements that make up urban environments—buildings, blocks, streets, and squares—varied circular routes are created for the visitors through closed and open spaces with changing vistas and outlooks.

然而，游客们发现在博物馆里很容易找到他们的方位，博物馆复制了“广场之城”-曼海姆-的直截了当、有序的结构。同时，展览路线上的每一种情况都提供了新的印象-就像在城市中，由于建筑的多样性、建筑线条的变化、凹槽、广场和开放空间的变化，没有任何地方像其他地方一样。正如一百多年前建立昆士底河时所设想的那样，它在弗里德里希斯普拉兹公园得到了一个声望很高的海拔高度。从那里，游客通过新的主入口进入中庭。

Nevertheless, visitors find it easy to get their bearings in the museum, which replicates the straightforward, ordered structure of the “city of squares” that is Mannheim. At the same time, every situation along the route of the exhibitions offers new impressions—just as in cities no place is like another owing to the diversity of the architecture, changes in the building lines, and recesses, squares, and open spaces. As had already been envisaged at the time of the foundation of the Kunsthalle a hundred years ago, it is given a prestigious elevation towards the park at Friedrichsplatz. From there, visitors enter the central atrium via the new main entrance.

中庭是方位点，也是环游展区三个层次的起点，其中两层与新艺术的建筑有联系，有历史的雅典娜路，从那里到露天雕塑园也是如此。展览理念包括大空间和轻型天花板，可用于各种不同的方式，和两个立方体与侧面照明。在三楼，一个屋顶露台已被纳入圆形旅游，在那里游客可以享受到弗里德里希斯普拉茨的全景与独特的水塔。这一空间概念使博物馆和城市空间在功能上和视觉上交织在一起，确保艺术通过建筑辐射到城市，而且城市几乎没有障碍地流入新建筑的房间。

The atrium is the point of orientation and also the starting point for the circular tours through the exhibition areas on three levels, two of which are connected with the Art Nouveau build- ing via the historic Athene tract and from there with the open-air sculptures garden. The exhibition concept consists of large spaces with light ceilings, which can be used in various different ways, and two cubes with side lighting. On the third floor, a roof terrace has been integrated into the circular tour, from where visitors can enjoy the panoramic view of Friedrichsplatz with the distinctive water tower. This space concept results in the museum and city spaces being functionally and visually interwoven, ensuring that the art radiates out into the city through the architecture and also that the city flows virtually without barriers into the rooms of the new buildings.

正面是一个透明的金属网与青铜色涂层，确定了建筑的外部形状，并创造了尊重的对话与砂岩的颜色附近的建筑物。不同的网格宽度实现了不同程度的透明性。因此，整体建筑形状的完整性得到了保持，这样就可以从其与封闭或更远的距离、白天和夜晚的等级差异中看出个别的体积。正如一座城市的城市结构提供了每一座建筑表达自己的有序环境一样，“艺术之城”的概念创造了一个建筑框架，它产生了一种身份，同时也为馆长提供了最大的灵活性。

The facades are cloaked with a transparent metal mesh with a bronze-colored coating that defines the external shape of the building and creates a respectful dialogue with the sandstone colour of the neighbouring buildings. Varying degrees of transparency are achieved with different mesh widths. Thus, the integrity of the overall building shape is preserved so that the individual volumes can be seen in their graded differences from close up or further away, by day and by night. Just as the urban structure of a city provides the ordering context in which each individual building expresses itself, the “city of art” concept creates an architectural framework which gives rise to an identity and, at the same time, provides maximum flexibility for the curator.
