Text description provided by the architects. The much anticipated Shanghai Natural History Museum, designed by Perkins+Will’s Global Design Director Ralph Johnson, has opened in Shanghai. The 44,517 square meter (479,180 square foot) museum offers visitors the opportunity to explore the natural world through the display of more than 10,000 artifacts from all seven continents. The building includes exhibit spaces, a 4D theater, an outdoor exhibit garden, and a 30-meter tall atrium that welcomes visitors with an abundance of natural light filtered through a striking glass wall inspired by the cellular structure of plants and animals.

珀金斯威尔是在一次国际设计竞赛之后被选中的，其中包括来自世界上一些最著名的建筑师的作品。整体形状和建筑组织的灵感来自于在自然界中发现的最纯粹的几何图形之一-海鸥壳。建筑物正面的自然要素包括代表动植物细胞结构的中央细胞壁，代表地球植被的东部活墙，以及表明被河流侵蚀的构造板块和峡谷墙的北石墙。

Perkins+Will was selected following an international design competition that included entries from some of the world’s best known architects. The overall shape and building organization was inspired by the nautilus shell, one of the purest geometric forms found in nature. Natural elements are depicted across the building’s façades including the central cell wall representing the cellular structure of plants and animals, the east living wall signifying earth’s vegetation, and the northern stone wall suggesting shifting tectonic plates and canyon walls eroded by rivers.

约翰逊说：“在中国传统园林中使用文化参考是设计的关键。”通过与现场的整合，建筑体现了人与自然的和谐，是对中国艺术和设计基本要素的抽象。

“The use of cultural references found in traditional Chinese gardens was key to the design,” said Johnson. “Through its integration with the site, the building represents the harmony of human and nature and is an abstraction of the basic elements of Chinese art and design.”

它是一座生物气候建筑，它通过使用智能建筑皮肤来对太阳做出反应，从而最大限度地利用日光，并将太阳增益降到最低。椭圆形庭院池塘提供蒸发冷却，而建筑物的温度由地热系统调节，该系统利用来自地球的能源进行取暖和冷却。雨水从植被茂盛的屋顶收集起来，和回收的灰色水一起储存在池塘里。博物馆的所有能量特征都是展品的一部分，这些展品解释了博物馆的故事。

It is a bioclimatic building in that it responds to the sun by using an intelligent building skin that maximizes daylight and minimizes solar gain. The oval courtyard pond provides evaporative cooling, while the temperature of the building is regulated with a geothermal system that uses energy from the earth for heating and cooling. Rain water is collected from the vegetated roof and stored in the pond along with recycled grey water. All of the energy features of the museum are part of exhibits which explain the story of the museum.

“对于在上海长大的人来说，旧的自然博物馆在他们的记忆中有着特殊的位置，”Perkins Will在上海的办公室总经理詹姆斯·鲁(James Lu)说。“同样，新博物馆的开放也令人兴奋，在居民和游客的心中都会有类似的位置。”博物馆将为这座城市带来新的自然历史体验。我们很荣幸能担任这位建筑师。“30多年来，珀金斯将在中国各地设计动态项目。该公司在上海的40人办事处为众多客户提供服务，并在Perkins Will的所有业务领域开展业务。
