Appreciation towards FREE Fernando Romero for providing the following description:

前段时间介绍了墨西哥城的塞万提剧院。该剧院旁边的曲线建筑就是这篇文章的主角：Soumaya 博物馆。Soumaya 博物馆位于墨西哥城发展城区的边缘，代替原有的Soumaya 博物馆，成为一个新的超凡绝伦，激活公共空间，促进商业活动的文化机构。The Soumaya Museum is part of a large scale mixed-use urban development on the edge of the Polanco district, one of the most exclusive areas of Mexico City. Located on a former existing 1940’s industrial site the Soumaya Museum – as the pre-eminent cultural program in the area – is a key instigator towards the transformation of urbanperception and urban life in the area.  Its role as an institution provides urban programmatic mixture, activating and intensifying the surrounding public space while promoting the commercial activities in the neighborhood.

博物馆与众不同，很有气势的旋转雕塑造型，是这个城市不可分割的一部分，是墨西哥城和国际建筑前卫造型的典范。

In order to create a new identity for the site, the proposal needed to create both a strong urban and iconic presence. Thus, the Soumaya Museum was conceived as a rotating sculptural building that is both an object and a part of the city.  The museum’s avant-garde shape defines a new paradigm in the timeline of Mexican and International architecture.

建筑外壳由28个大小和形状不同的弧形钢体组成，外表皮是由耐久的六边形铝制模块组合，几乎没有表皮开窗。博物馆中收集了各种展品，包括中世纪和文艺复兴时期的艺术品，还有世界上最大的罗丹雕塑集群。

The shell of the building is made of 28 unique curved steel columns of varying size and shape.  The structure is stabilized by a system of seven rings located on each floor.

To create a shelter for its collection, the opaque façade is made of hexagonal aluminum modules that minimize exterior openings while optimizing the preservation and durability of the entire building.  The conglomeration of the individual modules reflects the diversity of the museums’ collection that includes the worlds’ second largest collection of Rodin sculptures, a wing of Medieval and Renaissance Art, and a gallery of Impressionism.

展品氛围6层放入6000平方米的展览空间。此外建筑还有350座的礼堂，图书馆，餐厅，礼品店，多功能休息室，行政办公室。人们沿着非线性的路径在大楼里蜿蜒游走，最终到达顶部有着天窗的展区。

This diverse collection is housed in a continuous 6,000 m² exhibition space spread over six levels. The building also includes an array of public and private programs, including: a 350 seat auditorium, library, restaurant, gift-shop, a multi-purpose lounge, and administrative offices.  Connecting the programs is a non-linear circulation zone, creating areas of interaction for users along a common path as they meander through the building, culminating in a naturally lit multi-use gallery on the top floor.
