西海美术馆作为一座开放、活跃的国际化综合艺术社区——西海艺术湾的重要组成部分，高品质的展览空间、驻留空间与艺术商业有机结合，以友好的方式积极影响各个人群和更广泛的领域，为城市发展不断地注入新活力。
美术馆建筑及花园
西海美术馆由法国著名建筑师普利兹克奖得主让·努维尔（Jean Nouvel）设计，法国当今风景园林设计旗手、景观设计师吉尔·克莱芒（Gilles Clément）共同参与打造。美术馆建筑及花园是两位大师的中国首秀。
让·努维尔将光影在建筑空间及材料中的运用发挥到了极致，美术馆大量使用玻璃和阳极氧化铝幕墙，令海影天光与建筑交相辉映。
234块总重量约240吨的巨型超级白色玻璃拼合成一座高22米、体积约10,000m³的立方体展厅，顶部升降天棚15个挂点，可悬挂总重量为15吨的艺术作品，地面最大承重0.5吨/平方米，可满足超大艺术作品的展示需求。
800m²的百米展廊中43处开窗处外悬电动遮阳扇可根据光线条件切换角度、根据展览需求关闭或开启。
860平方米的多功能展厅可举办专业性学术活动，也可满足新品发布会、时尚秀乃至市民婚礼仪式的需求。
努维尔挑战了美术馆“白盒子”的传统，大面积开窗引入城市自然景观，展厅连廊间设有封闭及开放式展示空间，可放置雕塑或装置类作品以丰富展览序列；国际专业音乐厅设计团队打造的礼堂，可承载音乐、表演、电影、多媒体艺术等多种表现形式...12间展厅满足了美术馆对各类艺术作品的全方位展示需求。
整座美术馆山海环拥，坐落在绿化率高达75%的西海艺术湾内。吉尔·克莱芒将美术馆的屋顶露台精心打造成了一座充满神秘气息的花园，种植了多达27种植物；美术馆周围8万平方米的户外花园里种植了上百种植物。
克莱芒以合理的逻辑保留海岸、大海与花园之间的和谐关系，将他独到的花园理念应用于美术馆的景观设计，山海、田野、建筑与廊道成为构成景观花园结构与格局的主要元素，充分体现了尊重自然生态的理念，堪称当代世界生态型文化建筑的典范。
一条时内时外的漫步道将室内外的经典空间贯穿起来，观众在享受艺术盛宴的同时，亦可移步至美术馆内艺术商店、咖啡厅、酒吧、餐厅、屋顶花园及户外的花园、廊桥等公共休闲空间，在当代建筑群落中穿梭，在海边漫步，在不经意间与艺术相遇，享受全感官沉浸式的艺术生活。建筑与自然的融合、艺术与自然的和谐、光与影的交错隐映出城市自然景观，形成人、海洋、建筑和艺术的在地性永续对话。美术馆建筑及花园以当代艺术助力城市发展为主旨，这是一个让所有感官得以打开的无界场域，亦是一场永不落幕的当代建筑艺术大展。
青岛西海岸新区银沙滩路1111号，一处艺术与生活息息相关的场所。
这里的精彩刚刚开始，海边的艺术故事将持续更新，我们期待明年的相聚——

Architecture and Nature of TAG Art Museum
TAG Art Museum is designed by Jean Nouvel,a famous French architect with a joint hand of French landscape architect Gilles Clément.This project is also the debut of these two world-class masters.
Jean Nouvel brings the aesthetics of light and shadow into full play in his design.The façades of the museum widely use glass and anodized alumina,these materials make the architecture of the art museum integrate with the bay scenery and the natural sky light.
With 234 pieces of giant ultra-white glass in a total weight of 240 tons,he builds a huge exhibition hall with a height of 22 meters and a volume of 10,000 cubic meters,there are 15 hanging spot on the lifting ceiling,the hanging weight capability of the roof is 15 tons,and the maximum bearing capacity of the ground is 0.5 tons per square meter,which can meet the display needs of large scaled art works.
The 100 meter exhibition corridor has 43 exquisite windows,and 127 automatic shade that can be opened according to light conditions and air volume are inlaid in this 800 square meters venue;the 860-square-meter multi-function hall is a venue for academic activities,product launching,fashion shows and even citizen’s wedding.
Nouvel also challenges tradition of“white box”of art museums the open windows bring in the outer scenery and the corridors in between exhibition halls can also be used as displaying area for sculptures or installation art;the auditorium designed by international profession team can hold musical,theatre,films,performing art and multi-media display...12 exhibition spaces could fulfill the needs of art in all forms and scales.
TAG Art Museum is surrounded by oceans and mountains,and the total greening rate of The Artists’Garden where the museum locates is 75%.The landscape architecture Mr.Gilles Clément elaborately creates a secret garden on the roof of the TAG Art Museum,as many as 27 species of plants are planted.
Mr.Gilles Clément keeps the harmonious relationship among the coast,the sea and the garden with reasonable logic,and applies his unique garden concept to the landscape design of the art museum.Mountains,bay,fields,buildings,and corridors become the main elements and pattern of the landscape,which fully embodies the concept of respecting the natural ecology,and can be regarded as the model of ecological cultural architecture.
A walking path connects the inner and outerspace of the museum,visitors can wander to the art shop,the cafe,the bar,the gardens,and other public leisure spaces while admiring the artexhibitions,encounter art at any unexpected moment,enjoy the all-sensors immersive artistic life.The integration of architecture and nature,the harmony in between art and scenery,the beauty of the city landscape that enhanced by natural light,all these together form a continuous conversation between humans,ocean,architecture,and art.Holding the theme of“contemporary artaccelerates city development”,TAG Art Museum will become a field that lets open all one’s senses,as well as a never-ending contemporary art architecture exhibition.
No.1111,Yinshatan Road,West Coast New District,a field that intimately related to art.
The wonderful here has just begun.The story of this artistic coast will be continuously updated.We look forward to meeting next year—
