新的弗雷斯诺科学和艺术大都会博物馆是该城市新艺术区的第一个规划项目。作为复兴弗雷斯诺市中心的一个关键项目，这个巨大的悬臂式建筑物在街道层覆盖了一个大型公共广场。在建筑物的3个主要基座间有一系列的通路，鼓励路人穿过整个城市街区。

图解与背景

博物馆目前位于1933年建成的弗雷斯诺·比大楼内。这栋著名的历史建筑物的所有空间都已经被使用，所以需要扩建，为永久藏品和巡回展览提供空间。新的建筑物紧邻弗雷斯诺·比大楼和其他两个文化建筑——加州中部历史博物馆和新的弗雷斯诺中央图书馆，这两栋建筑再加上博物馆，将为该城市和区域构成一个新的文化中心。

上层画廊，下层广场

在博物馆悬臂式的阳伞下，设有一个水池，通过反射的光线使建筑表皮更为灵动，同时也在炎热的夏季给这一区域提供了凉快的休息空间。广场的平面形状还为人们在季节性的洪水期内创造了一系列聚集区。

在广场上面，区域艺术和科学博物馆围绕着永久性的科学展廊和艺术展廊布置。介于中间的空间——包括艺术、科学和知识观测室，艺术和科学展廊以及学习实验室——鼓励多元化的研究和探索，使博物馆成为了一个动态、交互的探索性环境。展廊层比广场层约高出9.1m，参观者可以通过一个露天剧场到达屋顶，该露天剧场可以作为博物馆的大型媒体中心，也可以举办独立的文化活动，比如，晚间电影放映。参观者可以在屋顶一览周围的城市环境，并理解博物馆在城市及更大区域背景中的位置和意义。

管理的灵活性

博物馆提倡跨学科的合作和学习，跨越传统文化或教育的界限，这在永久展览的组织上有所体现。陈列橱窗分布在博物馆内，使公众可以欣赏里面的藏品。该设计方式的效果也可以从艺术品保管室的设计中体现——两层高的观赏空间位于展览层的中心。这个交互区，以及博物馆的多个学习实验室、艺术、科学和知识展廊，都可以从下面的公共广场看到。建筑物的立面设计也使人们得以看到博物馆的核心。□

The design for the new Fresno Metropolitan Museum of Arts and Science is the first planned element in the city's new Arts District. Envisioned as a pivotal project in the revitalization of downtown Fresno, the expansive, cantilevered building shelters a broad public plaza at street level. A series of informal series of paths within and among the building's three central piers, encourages movement and activity across the entire the urban block.

Iconography and Context

The Museum is currently housed in the Fresno Bee Building, an existing 1933 newspaper building.The historic building had exhausted all available space and needed an expanded building to accommodate the permanent collect and traveling exhibition. The new building is immediately adjacent to the Fresno Bee Building as well as two other cultural institutions, the Central California History Museum and the new Fresno Central Library,which, together with the Museum, will form the core of a new cultural center for the city and the region.

Galleries Above, Plaza Below

Beneath the cantilevered parasol of the museum's galleries, a reflective pool animates the building's faceted belly with reflected light and provides respite from the region's intense summer temperatures. The plane of the plaza is shaped to allow the creation of this seasonal microclimate through incremental flooding－creating a series of gathering areas for individuals and groups at the base of the museum.

Above the plaza, the regional art and science museum is organized around a series of permanent science galleries and a large flexible art gallery.Intervening spaces, including the Art, Science and Knowledge Observatory, art and science response galleries, and learning labs encourage crossdisciplinary exploration and transform the museum's collection into a dynamic, interactive environment of discovery. From this Gallery Level, lifted thirty feet above the plaza below, visitors can access the roof via an open-air amphitheater, which serves both as part of the museum's larger media center and as a forum for independent cultural events such as evening film screenings. At this rooftop vantage point, visitors can begin to understand the museum's position within the city and its larger, regional context.

Curatorial Flexibility

The museum's pedagogical commitment to cross-disciplinary collaboration and learning across traditional cultural or educational boundaries is reflected by the permanent collection organization.A display of vitrines are distributed throughout the museum, making the collection accessible to the public. This strategy is also evident in the collections storage area where a double-height viewing space is located at the center of the Gallery Level. This zone of interaction, as well as several of the museum's learning labs and the Art, Science and Knowledge Gallery, are each revealed to visitors in the public plaza below, as the building's facade peels back to allow a glimpse into the heart of the institution.□
