Architect John McAslan stands in Glasgow’s The Burrell Collection. A slice of modernism, completed in 1983, it houses one of Scotland’s finest art collections: some 9,000 artefacts amassed over a lifetime by Sir William Burrell and Constance, Lady Burrell. The museum, which was formally opened by King Charles last month (although it has been welcoming the public since March), has been preserved and revitalised in a £68.25mn revamp under McAslan’s guidance. For McAslan, who was born in the city, “it’s a way of giving back”.
建築師約翰•麥卡斯蘭(John McAslan)站在葛拉斯哥的巴勒珍藏館(The Burrell Collection)中。這座現代主義風格的博物館於1983年完工，收藏了蘇格蘭最精美的藝術品之一：威廉·巴勒爵士(Sir William Burrell)和巴勒夫人康斯坦斯(Constance)在一生中收藏了約9000件藝術品。該博物館上個月由查爾斯國王正式開放(儘管自3月以來一直歡迎公衆參觀)，在麥卡斯蘭的指導下，經過6825萬英鎊的整修，一直被儲存和復興。對於出生在這座城市的麥卡斯蘭來說，「這是一種回饋社會的方式」。
