Science Island Museum, Kaunas, Lithuania.

立陶宛考納斯 科學島博物館

SMAR Architecture Studio

全新落成的「科學島博物館」被定位為島嶼的核心據點。設計團隊觀察當地地形脈絡,致力打造一座與自然與城市深度對話的建築。博物館屋頂設有圓形天窗、公共舞台與階梯式座席,串聯周邊公園地景與城市紋理,打造融入地景的公共場域。

 

The new 15,000-square-meter Science Island Museum (Mokslo Sala) aims to be the heart of Kaunas' Nemunas Island. Our proposal follows the island's topography to create a deep connection with nature and the city. The roof will feature circular access points that serve as public stages and natural seating areas, allowing the museum to blend seamlessly into the landscape and the park.

建築分為兩個主要區域:「內部運作區」與「公共展示區」。不同於多數公共建築較為封閉的行政空間,「內部運作區」中的實驗室與辦公室皆引入大量採光,並朝向公園開展,展現功能與環境的整合思維。整體設計亦強調建築與戶外環境的互動,藉此深化大眾對環境科學的理解。該理念貫穿展覽與參觀動線,期望訪客能在移動中感受光影、天氣與季節的變化。

The building comprises two main areas: the "Back of the House" and the "Front of the House." Unlike many public buildings, the "Back of the House" is not neglected but rather a space where laboratories and offices also receive natural light and views of the park. The design of the building emphasises a continuous connection to the exterior and the climate, to foster an understanding of how the building contributes to a comprehensive understanding of Environmental Sciences. This extends beyond the exhibition spaces, providing a holistic experience for visitors who are aware of the light, weather, and seasonal changes as they navigate through the building. This creates a full phenomenological experience, allowing visitors to witness natural phenomena through the building.

此外,周遭地景形塑了建築結構,屋頂種植當地原生植物,另設有一座傾斜的反光圓盤,成為獨一無二地的地標。白天時,引光入室;夜晚時,則將室內燈光投射至戶外,如同黑夜裡的太陽,隨日夜遷移升起、落下,象徵著科學從不止步的探索精神。

 

The existing landscape shapes the Innovation Centre, with the roof hosting native vegetation and featuring a sloping and reflective upper disk. This distinctive landmark, capable of reflecting the landscape, natural light into the building and artificial light from the building at night, will serve as a new sun for Kaunas, evidence that Science is always awake searching for new answers.
