中国丝绸博物馆地处杭州西子湖畔，其改扩建工程受到西湖风景区建设管理的严格限制。原有馆舍始建于20世纪90年代初，改扩建工程分为新建、改扩建和修缮等三部分。改造部分在最大化地尊重老馆建筑布局、形态、结构与细节的同时，只针对具体的功能问题进行了局部修复。新建部分没有被构思为宏伟的建筑体量，而是被拆解、打散并消解于地形之中，采用既延续又差异的建筑语言，与老建筑和杭州的城市历史记忆形成了富有张力的对话关系。

The China National Silk Museum is located by the West Lake in Hangzhou, and its renovation and expansion project is strictly restricted by the construction and management of the West Lake Scenic area. The original building was built in the early 1990s, and the renovation and expansion project is divided into three parts: new construction, renovation and expansion and repair. While respecting the layout, form, structure and details of the old building to the maximum, the renovation part only carried out partial restoration for specific functional problems. The new part is not conceived as a grand building volume, but is disassembled, dispersed and dissolved into the terrain, adopting an architectural language that is both continuous and different, forming a dialogue relationship with the old building and the urban historical memory of Hangzhou.
