Durability, sustainability and innovation underpin the design of the Aspen Art Museum, located in the state of Colorado, USA. The building’s most striking feature is its exterior facade made of NATURCLAD-W panels, which provides it with protection against Aspen’s cold weather. PARKLEX PRODEMA worked closely with the architectural team to produce a mock-up of the facade prior to construction.
The woven NATURCLAD-W exterior and timber support frame for the roof diffuse the light that enters through the glass walls and skylight. This innovative concept maximises the natural light of the interior whilst minimising its exposure to direct sunlight.
The design concept of the building mimics the ‘thermos’ principle, whereby interior rooms are kept at a constant temperature by protective exterior spaces. These so-called ‘wrapper’ spaces support air circulation and serve as a visual connection to the outdoors.
耐用性、可持续性与创新，构成了位于美国科罗拉多州 Aspen 艺术博物馆（Aspen Art Museum）的设计基石。建筑最引人注目的特征是其由 NATURCLAD-W 面板构成的外立面，为建筑抵御 Aspen 的寒冷气候提供了保护。PARKLEX PRODEMA 与建筑设计团队紧密合作，在施工前制作了外立面样板。
NATURCLAD-W 编织状外立面与屋面木结构支撑框架，柔和了透过玻璃幕墙与天窗进入室内的光线。这一创新理念在最大化室内自然采光的同时，减少了阳光的直射。
建筑的设计理念借鉴了「保温瓶」原理：由外部防护空间维持室内房间的恒定温度。这些被称为「包裹层」的空间支持空气流通，同时建立起与户外景致的视觉联系。
