ERWEITERTE ZWISCHENSCHICHTLÖSUNGEN
Die surreale Kunstsammlung des Dali-Museums wird in einem neuen Gebäude ausgestellt, das Küstenstürmen standhalten soll. Das neue Dali-Museum sticht zwischen den Reihen von Betongebäuden im hurrikangefährdeten St. Petersburg, Florida, hervor. Es ist eine Festung aus Beton und Glas, die die hochgeschätzte Salvador-Dali-Kunstsammlung des Museums vor starken Hurrikanwinden und schweren, vom Wind mitgerissenen Trümmern schützt.
The museum’s striking use of exterior glass opens up the interior to brilliant Florida daylight, while creating broad views of sparkling Tampa Bay. The outside-comes-inside design effect creates a welcoming and well-lit space that’s perfect for displaying the work of an extraordinary artist.
Originally created in 1982, the Dalí Museum is home to the largest collection of artwork by Dalí outside of Europe. The collection features over 2,000 pieces of Dalí’s artwork from every period of his life. In early 2011, the museum was relocated onto the St. Petersburg waterfront and reconstructed in a style more suiting to the 20th century surrealist artist that it pays homage to.
This new museum consists of a 17.7 m-(58-ft)-tall concrete box with two 75.5-ft-tall glazed glass structures “melting” over it, reminiscent of the melting clocks in Dalí’s The Persistence of Memory. The glass atriums, affectionately named the Enigma after Dalí’s The Enigma of Desire and the Igloo, are built with 1,062 unique triangular glass panels framed by 3,000 steel pieces. Inside, a soaring concrete spiral staircase connects the ground floor to the galleries on the third floor, leading all the way up to the roof of the glass atrium.
Yann Weymouth, Leiter des Designteams von HOK, erklärt: „Unsere Herausforderung bestand darin, herauszufinden, wie wir die technischen Anforderungen des Museums und des Standorts auf eine Weise erfüllen können, die die Dynamik der großen Kunstbewegung zum Ausdruck bringt, die er [Dalí] anführte.“
The task of bringing HOK’s vision to life was assigned to Novum Structures. Novum used a free-form structural system and edge-clamped glass system to glaze the museum. The structural system uses double node technology to create complex forms from simple geometric components. The edge-clamped glass system allows for easy installation of glass panels in a variety of angles. This first-ever combination of the two systems made it possible for complex shapes to stand without support columns.
