该研究所位于大卫·奇波菲尔建筑师设计的30英亩的总体规划中，将位于伦佐·皮亚诺的主要博物馆建筑、钢琴的塞缪莉画廊、里士满大厅的丹·弗莱文装置和罗斯科教堂之间。更多关于设计的信息，以及所有的渲染，在休息后。

Situated in an extensive 30-acre masterplan designed by David Chipperfield Architects, the institute will be located amongst Renzo Piano's main museum building, Piano's Cy Twombly Gallery, the Dan Flavin Installation at Richmond Hall, and the Rothko Chapel. More info on the design, and all the renderings, after the break.

梅尼尔绘画学院的网站就在梅尼尔钢琴设计的主要收藏的南面。这一位置将MDI定位为梅尼尔(Menil)其他艺术建筑的枢纽，周围是新的绿地，位于新的步行街和西大街(West Main Street)的中心，将校园统一起来。

The site for the Menil Drawing Institute lies just south of the Menil’s Renzo Piano-designed Main Collection. The location positions the MDI as a hub among the Menil’s other art buildings, surrounded by new green spaces and placed at the center of new pedestrian paths and an extension of West Main Street that will unify the campus.

约翰斯顿·马克里(Johnston Marklee)的设计开始于“这些循环路线，以及该遗址的一个显著自然特征：壮丽的活橡树。该设计要求树木被三个方形、开放屋顶的庭院包围：其中两个在建筑物的西侧和东侧充当入口，第三个在北面提供学者的修道院”。

Johnston Marklee’s design begins "from these circulation routes and from a prominent natural feature of the site: magnificent live oak trees. The design calls for trees to be surrounded by three square, open-roofed courtyards: two of them serving as entrances on the west and east sides of the building, and the third providing a scholars’ cloister on the north."

“在这些庭院之间设置的封闭式卷为MDI项目提供了主要区域。客厅-既有流通的脊柱，又有聚会的地方-在西、东入口庭院之间。在客厅的南侧，这个空间通向展览馆。在北面，客厅可以进入学者修道院一边的行政办公室，另一边是书房和保护实验室。“

"Enclosed volumes set between these courtyards provide the main areas for the MDI’s programs. A living room - both a circulation spine and a gathering place - runs between the west and east entrance courtyards. On the living room’s south side, the space opens into the exhibition galleries. On the north, the living room gives access to administrative offices on one side of the scholars’ cloister and to study rooms and the conservation lab on the other."

光调制

Modulation of Light

“把这些室内和室外空间及其流通路线结合起来的主要结构元素是一个由油漆钢板制成的薄而平坦的屋顶。”当从侧面看到一层mdi时，屋顶似乎漂浮在景观中，到处被树梢刺穿。在功能上，屋顶与景观一起工作，创造了MDI前所未有的自然光调制。“

"The principal structural element that unifies these indoor and outdoor spaces and their circulation routes is a thin, flat roof made of painted steel plate. When the one-story MDI is viewed from the side, the roof appears to float in the landscape, pierced here and there by treetops. Functionally, the roof works with the landscape to create MDI’s unprecedented modulation of natural light."

据建筑师和照明设计师说，该设计实现了前所未有的“室内和室外空间之间的互动，在一个设施，高度光敏的作品在纸上。”当游客接近并进入MDI时，该设计通过周围树木的树冠和建筑物的屋顶天篷，有机地和逐步地减少了德克萨斯州强烈的阳光强度。

According to the architects and lighting designers, the design achieves an unprecedented "interplay between indoor and outdoor space in a facility for highly light-sensitive works on paper." As visitors approach and enter the MDI, the design organically and incrementally reduces the intensity of the sharp Texas sunlight by means of the canopy of the surrounding trees and the roof canopy of the building.

“通过两个入口庭院和学者的修道院，一道普通的令人费解的光线洒进了大楼，使公众聚集的地方的游人和学者们都有了方向。”更多可控的人工光梯度定义了展览和储存的区域。在书房里，一个装有烧焦玻璃的天窗和一个帆布抄写机，允许自然光线，这样研究人员就可以全天注意到天空的细微变化。“

"A modest level of baffled light, spilling into the building through two entrance courtyards and the scholars’ cloister, orients visitors and scholars in the areas of public gathering. More controlled gradients of artificial light define the areas for exhibition and storage. In the study room, a skylight fitted with fritted glass and a sailcloth scrim admits natural light so that researchers may notice subtle changes in the sky throughout the day."

对于MDI的所有用户来说，“客厅和学者的修道院之间的直接视觉联系，以及进出建筑物的空间的柔和流动，将创造一种比以前更活跃、更开放和更吸引人的氛围，用于观看和研究绘图。”Allegra Pesenti声称，“这座建筑将使MDI成为一种前所未有的私人和公共空间的融合，并为欣赏和研究绘画提供功能”，它将成为“艺术家作品的平台，也是学者和参观博物馆的人很容易融合的一个欢迎之地”，阿莱格拉·佩森蒂(Allegra Pesenti)说。

For all users of the MDI "the direct visual connections between the living room and the scholars’ cloister, and the gentle flow of space into and through the building, will create a more active, open, and engaging atmosphere than has existed before for the act of viewing and studying drawings." Claiming that "this building will make the MDI an unprecedented merger of private and public spaces and functions for the enjoyment and study of drawings," Allegra Pesenti said that it will act as "a platform for the work of artists, and a welcoming place where scholars and museum-goers will easily ming

JohnstonMarklee也在为校园设计一个新的能源控制中心，而休斯顿的斯特恩和布塞克正在开发小酒馆梅尼尔。MichaelVanValkenburgAssociates还将通过修改校园的阿拉巴马街入口和实施更可持续的景观规划来帮助梅尼尔的转型。

Johnston Marklee is also designing a new energy control center for the campus, while Houston’s Stern and Bucek is developing the Bistro Menil. Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates will also aid the Menil’s transformation by revising the campus’ Alabama Street entry and implementing a more sustainable landscape scheme.
