泰國 MoMA 現代鋁博物館
MoMA 是 Museum of Modern Aluminum 的縮寫，項目源自於一群有雄心壯志的業主，以復興鋁在泰國的重要性為目標。泰國曾在 20 世紀末作為東南亞最大的鋁材製造國，其多樣又豐富的鋁型材不僅滿足本土市場，更一度以輸出海外市場聞名；然而 1997 年無預警的亞洲金融危機，促使泰國引以為傲的鋁產業為了生存，以低價販售鋁型材給各地五金市場，導致雜亂的廣告招牌、陽臺圍籬、底層擴建構成現今曼谷街頭的景色。
MoMA is the abbreviation for Museum of Modern Aluminum. The project originated from a group of ambitious clients with the goal of reviving the significance of aluminum in Thailand. Thailand was once the largest aluminum manufacturer in Southeast Asia at the end of the 20th century. Its diverse and abundant aluminum profiles not only satisfied the local market but were once known for exporting to overseas markets. However, the Asian Financial Crisis hit without warning in 1997. This prompted Thailand's aluminum industry to sell aluminum profiles at low prices to hardware markets around the country in order to survive, resulting in the clutters of advertising signs, balcony fences, and ground floor extensions that make up the present-day Bangkok streetscape.
MoMA 正處於上述環境涵構中，它位於曼谷市郊最繁忙的交通樞紐，大量快速車流促使拉查府盧克路兩旁充斥著各種商業招牌，其碩大幹道可通往大皇宮（The Grand Palace）、大羅鬥圈紀念廣場（Wongwian Yai）、曼谷大學（Bangkok University）和柯叻島（Ko Kret），而柯叻島更是曼谷唯一的島嶼，十多年前島上隨處可見螢火蟲，替曼谷市民提供一處自然之所。
MoMA was born out of such an environment. It is located at the busiest traffic hub on the outskirts of Bangkok, where heavy traffic has led to a variety of commercial signs lining Ratchaphruek Road. The main roads lead to The Grand Palace, Wongwian Yai, Bangkok University, and Ko Kret, the only island in Bangkok. More than a decade ago, fireflies populated Ko Kret, making the island a natural retreat for Bangkokians.
設計師希望此案不僅作為大眾空間，亦可替忙碌的城市居民提供休憩場所。因此，該建築延續柯叻島上的自然景觀，白天時就像一棵蒲公英，其懸挑構件隨風搖擺，為繁忙又緊張的拉查府盧克路增加輕柔感；夜晚則搖身一變，彷如螢火蟲，替商業氣息濃厚的地區增添一股生態感與鬆弛感。
The founders and architects of HAS Design and Research, Jenchieh Hung and Kulthida Songkittipakdee, wanted MoMA to serve not only as a public space but also as a getaway for busy urban dwellers. The building extends the natural landscape of Ko Kret Island to the project site. During the day, MoMA is a dandelion, with its overhanging elements swaying in the wind, bringing softness and lightness to the busy Ratchaphruek Road; at night, MoMA transforms into a firefly, adding a sense of nature and peacefulness to the highly commercialized Ratchaphruek Road.
本案的設計特點不僅將鋁條作為展示品，更延續建築、室內、景觀、照明與傢俱，塑造內外一體性的感受。其立面由數萬根鋁條包覆，每根鋁條的顏色與紋路都略有差異，如同蒲公英般每根羽毛都不同；而長短不一的鋁條結合 LED 照明，從正立面延伸至兩邊側立面，再筆直貫穿西側“孔洞”空間，過濾並紓緩外部環境的喧囂浮躁，引導參訪者至一處靜謐的展覽場所。
MoMA not only uses aluminum strips as display items, but also allows them to continue in the architecture, the interior, the landscape, as well as the lighting and furniture, creating a sense of totality inside and outside. The façade is clad with tens of thousands of aluminum strips, each with a slightly different color and texture, just like the feathers of a dandelion. The aluminum strips, combined with LED lighting, extend from the front façade to the two side façades, and then straight through the "tunnel" space on the west side, filtering and dampening the noise of the external environment and guiding visitors to the quiet exhibition place.
建築立面的鋁條不僅提供多種照明功能，更可遮擋過多的日曬維持室內舒適的採光效果，而具備靈活性與彈性的展覽空間，可滿足多種展示、接待、活動需求。在頂層空間，圍合景觀有如一座漂浮的小島，搭配季節性植物塑造一處可供螢火蟲複育的城市生態場所。
The aluminum strips on the façade not only provide a variety of lighting functions, but also shade the interior from excessive sunlight to maintain a comfortable interior environment. The flexibility of the exhibition space can meet a variety of display, reception, and activity needs. On the top floor, the enclosed landscape resembles a floating island with seasonal plants, creating an urban ecological site for fireflies to flourish.
此項目自始便以街道常見的鋁招牌作為研究物件，隨後將鋁材作為單體元素串連至整體建築。即便僅是城市中的一個建築體，但透過開發與研究鋁構件斷面，從而打造出特殊的建築肌理感，替充斥著鋼筋水泥的泰國城市，重新找到另種新地域性。
The design process of MoMA began with the study of aluminum signboards commonly seen on the streets, and then used aluminum as an element to link the entire building. Through the investigation and research of aluminum profiles, a distinct architectural texture is created, and a new sense of vernacular is discovered in Thailand's concrete jungle.
