經過多年的規劃，諾頓藝術博物館將重新向公眾開放，屆時由福斯特建筑事務所和波士頓 CBD 設計公司合作設計建造的側廳和雕塑花園也同時開放。

新建的西側廳將徹底改變諾頓藝術博物館6.3 英畝的園區布局。還改善了博物館的可達性和開放性，將新入口設置在沿南迪克西高速公路的主干道上，并恢復了建筑1941 年最初設計的邏輯和清晰度。通過加強建筑與景觀之間的關系，增強了與藝術互動的體驗，為社區營造出了一個新的社交空間。

諾頓博物館建于1941 年，是一個由一系列以典雅藝術風格裝飾的單層展館圍繞著一個中央庭院組成的博物館。隨后的擴建打破了原有布局的對稱性，將主入口重新定位到建筑的一側，改變了原有的軸向結構。新的總體規劃重新確定了主要交通線路的清晰性，并平衡了不同的建筑高度，同時還引入了新的展廳和教育空間，恢復了原始規劃的凝聚力。除了新設計的畫廊空間外，新規劃還仔細剝離了后來擴建的層次，揭示出了歷史畫廊的原始結構。

The design for the Norton Museum of Artrevitalises and expands the existing museum,adding more galleries and visitor facilities,while res-toring the original axial layout ofthe Museum.

The site has been transformed into a lush Floridagarden, providing a new outdoor set-ting for visitors toexperience art, while reinforcing the relationship betweenthe building and the landscape. It creates a new socialfocus for the community and lays the foun-dations for thefuture growth of the museum to become one of Florida’sleading cultural institutions.The Norton was built in 1941 as an elegant seriesof Art Deco-inspired sin-gle-story pavilions around acentral courtyard. Subsequent expansion broke thesym-metry of the original arrangement, and the axialconfiguration was undermined by the relocation ofthe main entrance to the side of the building. The newmasterplan restores the logic of the original plan,reasserting the clarity of the main circulation, balancingthe different building heights, introducing new exhibitiongalleries and education spaces. The new facilities includean auditorium, shop, restaurant and a unique socialmeeting space - the Great Hall - as well as the GreatLawn,suitable for screening films outdoors, all aimedat attracting a wider local and international audience.

In addition to providing new gallery spaces, the designcarefully peels away layers of subsequent extensionsto reveal the original fabric of the historic galleries.The campus provides the much-anticipated outdoorsetting for the museum’s growing sculpture collectionand reinforces the relationship between the buildingand the landscape.It seeks to create an enhanced visitorexperience with a strong social focus for the com-munitywhile laying the foundation for the future growth of themuseum as one of Florida’s leading cultural institutions.A new street frontage and entrance on South DixieHigh-way to the west redefines the museum’s relationshipwith the city. One of the main protagonists for the designof the new entrance plaza is an iconic Banyan treethat was planted when the museum was first built.

園區現在為博物館不斷增加的雕塑收藏提供了一個令人期待的戶外環境，并加強了建筑與景觀之間的關系。它營造出了一個能夠增強游客體驗的社會空間，同時為博物館作為佛羅里達州領先的文化機構之一的未來發展奠定了基礎。

設置在西側靠近南迪克西高速公路上的新入口重新定義了博物館與城市的關系。新入口廣場的主要標志之一是一棵標志性的榕樹，它是在博物館剛建成時種下的：新擴建部分閃亮的屋頂環繞在樹冠周圍，在保護入口廣場的同時，將整個建筑組合在了一起。在樹冠后面，三個雙層高的展廳協調了低層畫廊和現有的三層高的內塞爾翼，并通過白色水平帶狀灰泥將整個色調統一起來。展廳內設有一個最先進的藝術禮堂，而大廳將是當地社區新的社會中心：包括一個活動空間，教育中心，博物館商店和餐廳，并提供可以俯瞰花園的帶有遮陽棚的室外座位。

花園是總體規劃的一個組成部分，它加強了建筑和景觀之間的關系，同時也贊美了佛羅里達豐富多樣的植物群。利用佛羅里達的氣候，花園的景觀融合了當地的樹木和花卉，為游客提供了陰涼的走道和溫馨的環境來欣賞藝術品。與樹冠相對應，大懸臂結構和陰影柱廊確保不受強烈陽光的照射，而亞熱帶的陽光和郁郁蔥蔥的景色仍然可以作為游客體驗的一部分。

The extension’s new shimmering roof curves aroundthe tree canopy, uniting the entire ensemble whilesheltering the entrance plaza. Behind the canopy, threenew double-height pavilions mediate the low-rise galleriesand the existing three-story Nes-sel Wing, unifyingthe whole composition with a shared palette of white,horizontally-banded stucco.

The pavilions house a state-of-the-art auditorium,the Great Hall, which will be the new social heartfor the local community, an event space, educationcenter, museum shop and restaurant that providesshaded outdoor seating overlooking the garden.

Creating a focus is Claes Oldenburg’s iconicTypewriter Eraser, Scale X (1999) sculpture,floatingover a reflecting pool and signifying the museum’sexpanded commitment to contemporary art.The garden is an integral part of the masterplan,which seeks to en-hance the experience of art byreinforcing the relationship between the buildingand the landscape that celebrates Florida’s rich anddiverse flora. Taking advantage of the Florida climate,the landscaping of the gardens incorporates nativetrees and flowers to provide shaded walkways,andan intimate setting for visitors to enjoy the artwork.

The landscape forms the backdrop of the museum’songoing education program for schoolchildren,encouraging a greater awareness of the collectionand Florida’s envi-ronmental heritage. The outdoorspaces provide a sustainable backdrop for displayin-gart providing a substantial increase in display areas.Corresponding to the canopies of the trees, largeoverhangs and shaded colonnades ensure that theintense sun light is kept out whilst the subtropicallight and lush views can still be enjoyed as partof the visitor experience.

The revitalization of the Norton is rooted inrevealing and enhancing the original spirit ofthe building.Over the years, the museum hadlost its sense of identity in the neigh-borhood.The entrance had been moved to a side road,and there was no presenceof a museum.The new design redefines the museum’srelationship with its surroundings by providing amain entrance on the original central axis, whilecreating new event and vis-itor spaces that willtransform the museum into the social heart ofthe community; as well as increasing the galleryand exhibition spaces, to engage with a wideraudience.”
