無障礙設計目標

這座博物館的擴建部分、展廳和拱門廣場的設計意在實踐“通用設計”的核心原則，為所有游客和員工提供平等或等效的使用方式，并高于《美國殘疾人法案》的要求。這些指導原則在創造盡可能使用簡單且直觀的環境中發揮了重要作用，同時也大幅減少了給所有使用者帶來的物理和心理障礙。各種特殊需求的使用者都會在這個環境中得到更好的感受。這個環境使用起來更加舒適，并由此帶來更多的日常游客和回頭客。

可持續性目標

該項目已獲得LEED 金牌認證。這一可持續設計的特色包括：

（1）整體景觀和建筑干預方案重新建立起拱門、公園和博物館與圣路易斯市中心和附近地鐵站的聯系，從而鼓勵游客用公共交通取代機動車。

（2）擴建后的游客中心大部分位于公園整體景觀標高之下，從而降低了全年能耗，提高了熱效率。這也大幅度降低了“熱島效應”，因為建筑屋頂的綠化率達到98.5%。

（3）擴建后的游客中心和博物館對原先低于評分等級的設施進行了適應性改造和重新配置，并使其融入新的設計。（LEED 材料與資源評分項1.1）

（4）大部分公共空間采用高效、高生命周期的LED 照明，并能分散調節，從而支撐廣泛的用途。

（5）選用低流量供水裝置，為整個項目減少了超過基準31%的飲用水?！酰ㄉ袝x 譯）

Accessible design goals

The Museum expansion, exhibits, and Arch grounds have been designed to utilise the core principles of Universal Design, which are founded on equal or equivalent means of use for all visitors and staff, and exceeds the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) These guidelines have been instrumental in creating an environment which is as simple and intuitive to use as possible, while also drastically reducing physical and attitudinal barriers to all users. The typical experience by users of all abilities will be enhanced by a more comfortable environment that encourages increased daily use and re-visitation.

Sustainability goals

The project has recieved LEED Gold certification. Some highlights of the sustainable design features include:

(1) The overall landscape and building intervention re-establishes the arch, park and museum's connection to downtown St. Louis and adjacent metro connections, thus encouraging visitors to utilize public transit in lieu of automobile transport.

(2) The majority of the expanded Visitors Center is located below the greater park landscape, resulting in lower energy consumption and higher thermal efficiency throughout the year. This also drastically reduces the Heat Island Effect, as 98.5% of the building's roof is vegetated.

(3) The expanded Visitors Center and Museum adaptively re-uses and reconfigures the original below-grade facility as part of the new design.

(4) The majority of public spaces incorporate high-efficiency, high life cycle LED lighting that is discreetly tunable, to support a wide range of programmatic uses.

(5) Low flow water fixtures have been selected to reduce the overall project's potable water usage by over 31% from the baseline.□

評論

孫立揚：拱門博物館位于美國著名的圣路易斯拱門下方，建筑主體埋設在地下。設計師把“通用設計”作為無障礙設計的核心理念，為所有游客和員工提供平等或等效的使用體驗。

博物館嚴格遵守《美國殘疾人法案》，在設計過程中進行多方案比較，充分考慮與拱門基座等的對接及造價等因素，確定最佳設計方案。博物館主入口設環形坡道從地面緩緩導向地下，在滿足無障礙需求的同時又給來訪者留下了深刻的印象，展現了很強的藝術效果。

拱門基座處的無障礙坡道盡量利用原有坡道，僅對室內部分進行改造。在新設無障礙扶手的同時保留了舊混凝土扶手的造型，表達了對歷史的尊重，創造出一個使用便捷、和諧高雅的藝術空間。

邵磊：人人可達，開放共享，是博物館建筑設計的基本要求和目標之一。拱門博物館作為一個優秀案例，展現了通用設計的理念對場地、景觀和建筑設計產生的影響——通過設計，創造性地達成了富有魅力的無障礙目標。利用重塑原有地標性的拱門建筑、公園與場地的關系的機會，博物館巧妙地處理了覆土建筑的高差問題——用平緩的坡道將地上和地下空間串聯在一起，增加了空間的流動性和滲透性，坡道本身也成為景觀結合自然的設計亮點。這種富有特色的動線設計，在形態和建筑細節上注重不同區域的有機過渡，既滿足了無障礙功能需求，又將帶來生動自然的融合感。在室內設計上，如無障礙衛生間，博物館也充分考慮了不同人士的需求，不僅僅在普通衛生間里設置了無障礙廁位，也設立了足夠的無障礙衛生間，凈空尺寸和布局安排都針對輪椅使用者進行了優化。值得一提的是，博物館改善了和地鐵站點之間的關系，由此帶來的可達性的提升，既是對綠色交通的響應，又是交通無障礙的關鍵。

Comments

SUN Liyang: The Museum is under the well-known Arch of St. Louis with the main structure buried underground. The designer takes universal design as the core concept of the accessible design, and aims at providing equivalent using experiences for all visitors and staff.

Strictly following the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Museum compared several schemes and gave full consideration to its connection with the base of the Arch, the construction cost, and other elements, before deciding the optimal scheme. There is a ring-shaped slope at the main entrance of the Museum slowly descending underground, which not only meets the demand for accessibility, but also impresses visitors with its strong artistic effects.

The barrier-free slope at the base of the Arch makes full use of the original ramp and only the interior part is reformed. When installing the new barrier-free handrail, the old concrete handrail is preserved to show designer's respect for history. An artistic space that is both convenient for use and harmonious and elegant is thus created. (Translated by QIAN Fang)

SHAO Lei: Accessibility, sharing and openness are among of the basic principles and goals in museum design. As an excellent example, the Gateway Arch Museum demonstrates the concept of universal design by achieving glamorous accessible goals through the comprehensive design of the site, landscape and architecture. To reshape the relationship among the original landmark arch, the park and the site, the museum cleverly deals with the problem of the height difference of the earth-covering buildings - using a gentle ramp to connect the ground and underground spaces together, promote the space mobility and permeability, and the ramp itself has become a design highlight of the landscape combined with nature. This distinctive dynamic design pays attention to the organic transition of different space in terms of form and architectural details, which not only meets the needs of barrier-free functions, but also brings a vivid and natural sense of integration. In the interior design, such as accessible toilets, the museum also fully considered the needs of different people, not only set up accessible cubicles in the ordinary bathroom, but also set up enough independent accessible toilets, in which clearance size and layout arrangements for wheelchairs are optimised. It is worth mentioning that the museum has improved the relationship with the subway station, and the resulting increase in accessibility is both a response to green tra☆c and a key to transportation accessibility.
