这是由Casanova+Hernandez architects设计的Marubi国家摄影博物馆。该项目位于阿尔巴尼亚的斯库台，建筑师对这座历史悠久的国家建筑进行了翻新和扩建。在这座历史建筑的背立面，建筑师把网格玻璃立面补充在两层的扩建物上。白色的铝框架支撑起一系列透明和半透明的玻璃，映衬着石膏板材料。博物馆的现代图案是在一个抽象的图像基础上创建，灵感来自于摄像机光圈的几何形状，它们打开或者关闭来控制光线。半透明玻璃反射的不同质量取决于季节和一天的不同时刻。

From the architect. In 2013, the Albanian Ministry of Culture envisioned a plan to rebuild the cultural infrastructure reactivating abandoned historical buildings. The Marubi Museum is a pioneer project of this programme. The plan to create the museum has enjoyed an enormous national repercussion because of the historical importance of exhibiting, among others, the photographic legacy created during more than one century by three generations of photographers from the Marubi family.

The design for the Marubi Museum aims to promote a rich dialogue between tradition and modernity, between the past and the present. The legacy of the tradition is underlined by restoring the historical building designed by the Albanian architect born in Shkodër, KolëIdromeno, while preserving its spatial and structural qualities without any volume transformation or new interior partitions. Conceptually, Idromeno's building becomes an important “object” of the exhibition to be shown, contemplated and visited.

A modern image associated to the new museographic program is achieved by installing five “functional boxes”, which are prefabricated and detached from the original building, working as pieces of furniture or sculptural elements. Tradition and modernity establish a dialogue in every corner of the building. At the exterior of the museum, a showcase element works as a landmark that indicates the museum entrance; in the interior of the building, the original windows and spatial qualities of the building dialogue with the exhibition boxes; and in the courtyard, the old building coexists with a new modern volume.

On the one hand, the museum program expands into the public space and one of the “functional boxes” becomes a showcase installed in front of the museum, serving as a landmark that invites citizens to visit it. On the other hand, public space enters the museum and the project erases the border between street and institution with a transparent and accessible ground floor that hosts a free-entrance multifunctional space for lectures, workshops and temporary exhibitions. As a result, the project intends to create an open and alive museum capable of becoming a cultural landmark linked to the street life of Shkodër.

The modern image of the museum is based on an abstract pattern, which is inspired by the geometry of the aperture of the photographic camera that opens and closes to control the light. This abstract pattern is used to design the structural layout of the five exhibition boxes installed in the building, integrating as well a complete and versatile exhibition system that includes frames to exhibit photos and documents, showcases for objects and video screens for slide-shows and short movies.

Product Description: The design of the different parts of the museum is based on the abstract pattern inspired by the geometry of the aperture of the photographic camera. This pattern is used on different scales within the building and defines its identity. On the bigger scale, the pattern is used to define the geometry of the curtain walls of the courtyard that frame glasses of three different transparencies. On the smaller scale it defines the geometry of the supporting aluminum cladding system of the functional boxes. The Deko GV cladding system has been adapted specifically to the necessities of the functional boxes in order to allow, on the one hand, the creation of frames to exhibit photos, documents and information texts and, on the other hand, show cases to exhibit objects. Other frames support translucent glasses where there are no pictures or objects behind.
