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”.
建筑师约翰•麦卡斯兰(John McAslan)站在格拉斯哥的巴勒珍藏馆(The Burrell Collection)中。这座现代主义风格的博物馆于1983年完工，收藏了苏格兰最精美的艺术品之一：威廉·巴勒爵士(Sir William Burrell)和巴勒夫人康斯坦斯(Constance)在一生中收藏了约9000件艺术品。该博物馆上个月由查尔斯国王正式开放(尽管自3月以来一直欢迎公众参观)，在麦卡斯兰的指导下，经过6825万英镑的整修，一直被保存和复兴。对于出生在这座城市的麦卡斯兰来说，“这是一种回馈社会的方式”。
