亚特兰大民权与人权中心 / ATELIER BRÜCKNER布鲁克纳工作室

亚特兰大民权与人权中心（NCCHR）焕然重塑，将于2025年11月8日重新开放。自成立十一年来，Perkins & Will 将其建筑面积扩建了50%，但真正的变革发生在内部：整座建筑成为连接历史、当下与个人行动的场域。
The National Center for Civil and Human Rights (NCCHR) in Atlanta has reinvented itself – and reopened on November 8, 2025. Eleven years after its founding, the building was expanded by fifty percent through an extension by Perkins & Will. But the real change lies inside: the house becomes a place where history, present, and personal action are connected.

ATELIER BRÜCKNER 提出的展览理念把“参与”视为一种态度。方案将既有展厅的改造与全新沉浸式体验相结合，使每个展厅拥有独特性格，每种情绪都获得专属空间：共情时刻与静思区域交替出现。新设的“Join-In 互动区”与“Reflection Zone 反思区”贯穿参观动线，不断邀请观众参与与停留。新设计的核心目标不仅是讲述历史（包括其震撼章节），更让历史可被亲身感受，从而激发责任感。
ATELIER BRÜCKNER developed an exhibition concept that understands participation as an attitude. The design combines the redesign of existing galleries with newly conceived immersive experiences. Each gallery has its own character, each emotion its space. Moments of empathy alternate with zones of rest and reflection. Newly introduced “Join-In” and “Reflection Zones” are integrated into the tour – recurring, clearly recognizable places that invite participation and pause. The goal of the new design is not only to tell history – including its shocking chapters – but to make it experienceable and to grow a sense of responsibility from it.

改造的重点是马丁·路德·金展厅，它将金的遗产在空间与情感层面置于中心。全新展览呈现偶像背后的真实人物：在其复原的办公室里，电话铃声响起，拿起听筒即可听到昔日同伴、导师与朋友的原声——他们延续了金的愿景。书籍、照片与手写笔记揭示他的思想世界；书桌上方由一张空白纸升腾而起的“页面之云”飘向明亮的 MLK 收藏主厅，那里陈列着金的原始文件——诗意地隐喻思想化为行动。展厅传达一条信息：马丁·路德·金曾是我们中的一员——而每个人都能付诸行动。
A focal point of the renovation is the Martin Luther King Jr. Gallery, which places King’s legacy spatially and emotionally at the center. The completely new exhibition shows the man behind the icon. In his reconstructed office, a telephone rings; when you pick up the receiver, you hear original voices of his companions, mentors, and friends – voices that carried his vision forward. Books, photographs, and handwritten notes provide insight into his world of thought. Above his desk, a floating cloud of pages rises from an empty sheet and flows into the bright main room of the MLK Collection, where original documents of King are displayed – a poetic metaphor for thoughts becoming deeds. The redesigned gallery conveys a message: Martin Luther King Jr. was one of us – and everyone can act.

核心主题依然是民权斗争，但参观路线焕然一新。叙事如今沿着一条清晰、直观的路径展开，没有迂回或楼层转换。在“Join-In”互动区，观众可以了解社会参与的模样；“Reflection Rooms”反思室则提供配有座椅和纸巾的休憩角落——静谧空间让人们消化所见所感，尤其对家族史与展览叙事息息相关的观众更显重要。
The core theme remains the struggle for civil rights, but the route through the exhibition is new. The narrative now follows a clear, intuitive path without detours or level changes. In the “Join-In” zones visitors discover what social engagement can look like; the “Reflection Rooms” offer retreats with chairs and tissues—quiet spaces where what has been seen can be processed, especially for those whose family history is part of the story.

重新设计的民权画廊从种族隔离和争取平等的斗争，一直讲到马丁·路德·金遇刺。参观以“为何是亚特兰大”开篇：发光的城市场景呈现教堂、大学和理发店——运动的萌芽之地。一部影片将过去与当下连接，数字明信片从历史上的亚特兰大发出问候。在“午餐柜台体验”中，观众坐在忠实还原的圆凳上——座椅开始震动，耳机里回荡着侮辱性言语，如同20世纪60年代的民权活动家一样，他们亲身感受“坚守”的意义。
The redesigned Civil Rights Gallery leads from segregation and the fight for equality to the assassination of Martin Luther King. The tour begins with “Why Atlanta”: luminous city scenes show churches, universities and barber shops—seedbeds of the movement. A film bridges to the present; digital postcards send greetings from historic Atlanta. In the “Lunch Counter Experience” visitors sit on faithfully reproduced bar stools—the seats begin to vibrate while insults echo in the headphones. Like the activists of the 1960s, they experience what it means to stand firm.

平面设计、灯光与媒体把新旧展厅融合为统一的空间体验。视觉识别得到延续：更精致的字体、更细腻的色板，以及金博士亲笔字迹在MLK画廊中成为发光主题。
Graphics, light and media merge existing and new galleries into a coherent spatial experience. The visual identity continues with refined typography, a nuanced colour palette and King’s own handwriting as a luminous motif in the MLK Gallery.

“Join-In”区内的互动站点邀请观众发现参与的形式——例如一台点唱机，让音乐与民权运动交汇。观众聆听抗争歌曲，了解艺术如何转化为行动。相比之下，“Reflection Zones”营造宁静氛围——伴随引用、暖光和柔和气息，灯光引导情绪：反思时温柔，传递信息时清晰精准。
In the “Join-In” zones interactive stations invite visitors to discover forms of engagement—for example, a jukebox where music and the civil-rights movement merge. Visitors hear songs of resistance and learn how art became activism. The “Reflection Zones”, in contrast, create calm—accompanied by quotes, warm light and a subdued atmosphere. Light guides emotion: gentle in moments of reflection, clear and precise when conveying information.

媒体被有目的地嵌入建筑，深化叙事并在房间之间创造情感过渡——通过投影、声音和电影化序列让历史鲜活起来。
Media are purposefully embedded in the architecture. They deepen the narrative and create emotional transitions between rooms—through projections, sounds and cinematic sequences that bring history to life.

2025年12月，中心将开放新展厅“Broken Promises”，聚焦社会正义史上未兑现的承诺，从重建时代延伸到当下；2026年春季，家庭画廊“The Change Agent Adventure”将让孩子们在游戏中学习如何成为“变革推动者”。
In December 2025 the centre will open the new gallery “Broken Promises” about unfulfilled promises in the history of social justice—an arc from the Reconstruction Era to the present. In spring 2026 the Family Gallery “The Change Agent Adventure” follows, where children playfully learn what it means to be a “change agent”.

随着扩建，NCCHR的影响力日益扩大。这里不再是一座传统博物馆，而是相遇、学习与主动参与的空间。空间设计唤起共情——并呼吁每一个人为人性挺身而出。
With the expansion the impact of the NCCHR grows. The building is no longer a classic museum, but a place of encounter, learning and active participation. The spatial design fosters empathy—and calls on everyone to stand up for humanity.
