The convergence of Lyon, France museum

这是由Coop Himmelb(l)au设计的法国里昂汇流博物馆。它是重振里昂的主要项目工程。建筑位于该地区两条主要河流的汇流处，地理位置更加强化了 博物馆 对比与发散的主题，即融合不同的独立实体形成一个新的动态结构。在结合了科技、生物学、伦理的宏大主题下，该项目不仅是一座博物馆 ，也是一处与城市休闲功能融为一体的积极活跃的公共集会空间。

该项目包含了三个主要部分：底座、“水晶体”、“云”。主入口之下的底座设置了听众席、会议室、设备区，其上，就是朝向小镇完全光滑的“水晶体”，既是迎接访客的开口，也是充满魅力的公共空间。在此区域，巨大的玻璃窗安装在钢框架上，白天，阳光倾泻进内部空间，与晶体精确的轮廓形成对比。

“云”就像一座浮在建筑上的太空站。贯穿三层，三个永久的和七个临时的展览画廊组织进动态的参观流线内。展览大厅中，密闭的黑盒子和开放的画廊空间交替变化，其形态结构进一步强调了变异与复杂性的主旨。室外，斜坡和小路通向临近的公园，形成了一个综合的公共广场。
From the architect. Right from the 2001 international competition for a natural history museum in Lyon, the museum was envisioned as a “medium for the transfer of knowledge” and not as a showroom for products.The building ground of the museum is located on a peninsula that was artificially extended 100 years ago and situated in the confluence of the Rh?ne and Sa?ne rivers. Even though it was apparent that this site would be a difficult one (536-metre-long piles had to be securely driven into the ground), it was clear that this location would be very important for the urban design. The building should serve as a distinctive beacon and entrance for the visitors approaching from the South, as well as a starting point for urban development.

In order to build a museum of knowledge, a complex new form had to be developed as an iconic gateway. A building that truly stands out can only come into being through shapes resulting from new geometries. It was important to the concept that the flow of visitors arriving from the city to the Pointe du Confluent should not be impeded by a building. The idea was therefore to develop an openly traversable building that would be floating in part only on supports, in order to create a public space underneath.

Essentially, the building consists of three parts. Situated on a slightly raised base (due to the high groundwater), two auditoriums (for 327 and 122 persons, respectively) and work spaces, which will also be used for training purposes for the surrounding schools, will be located next to storage and workshops for the production of exhibitions.

The entrance building, the so-called Crystal, is openly traversable, and a vertical access to the exhibition spaces. The so-called Espace liant, a connecting path, can be reached by an escalator, a staircase, and a spiral ramp. Left and right of this path are arranged the individual exhibition halls (one of them two-level), and at the end is a view of the confluence of two rivers, the Pointe du Confluent. The steel structure, conceived as a bridge construction, made it possible to develop all of the exhibition halls without supports. The administration rooms are located above the exhibition spaces.
