寶馬古根海姆實驗室是智囊團和社區(qū)中心的一個組合，是一座移動實驗室，致力于討論與城市生活有關的各種問題。我們利用CFRP（碳纖維增強型塑料）設計了第一座實驗室建筑。最初計劃將古根海姆實驗室從紐約遷往柏林，之后再遷往孟買。但是，后來決定利用孟買當?shù)氐牟牧虾图夹g在孟買建造第二座實驗室。孟買有著為婚禮和慶典架設曼達波（一種簡單的竹制建筑）的悠久傳統(tǒng)，因此我們決定建造一座曼達波建筑派系的實驗室建筑。曼達波通常搭建于附近的樹木和建筑之上。但是，活動組織者要求孟買的古根海姆實驗室必須是一座獨立的建筑：他們想要架設一座可移動空間，每周都可遷往一個新的地方。這樣一來，往往由于種姓而無法參觀博物館的人員也能進入這一實驗室。為了達到這些目的，我們設計的建筑物最終由2.5 米跨度的縱向單元和4.5 米跨度的桁架梁單元組成，而且所有單元均可放在平板貨車的后部。此外，我們還設計了一些利用繩扣即可將木制連接器固定在一起的接頭。有些接頭還需要使用螺栓。為了防止竹制構件沿紋理開裂，我們用合成樹脂膠接劑對這些構件的螺接處進行了填充。另外我們采用 rope noren（帷幔）將該建筑物包覆起來，以實現(xiàn)所需的透明度，并最大限度地實現(xiàn)側向風的流通；然后用類似帳篷的屋頂覆蓋建筑，保護參觀者不受到陽光和鳥糞的影響。

The BMW Guggenheim Lab,which serves as a think tank and community gathering space,is a mobile laboratory devoted to discussing various issues related to city life.We designed the first lab building using CFRP (carbon-reinforced-plastic).Originally,this building was scheduled to travel from New York to Berlin,and then on to Mumbai.Later,however,it was decided that a second lab building would be constructed in Mumbai using local materials and technologies.Mumbai has a long tradition of erecting mandapa,simple bamboo structures,for weddings and festivals,so we decided to create a lab building belonging to the mandapa structural genealogy.Mandapa are often partially supported by nearby trees and buildings.The event organizers,however,requested that the second lab building be a freestanding structure:they wanted an itinerant space that could be moved to a new ward every week.This would make the Lab accessible to people whose castes ordinarily prohibit them from visiting museums.To achieve these objectives,we designed a structure composed of 2.5-meter-span longitudinal units and 4.5-meter-span truss beam units,all of which fit onto the back of a flatbed truck.We devised joints in which wood connectors were fastened together using rope ties.Some joints also incorporated bolts.To prevent bamboo members from splitting along the grain,we filled them with synthetic resin cement where they were bolted.We wrapped the structure in a rope noren (curtain),to provide transparency and minimize resistance to lateral wind forces,and covered it with a tent roof,to shield visitors from sunlight and bird droppings.
