天津大剧院

▽ aerial view day 白天鸟瞰

近日落成的天津大剧院是天津文化中心核心建筑。其圆弧型的屋顶与已有的自然历史博物馆遥相呼应，形成对话。天圆地方是中国哲学的基本思想。临着浩瀚湖面的大剧院造型就像是一个打开的贝壳，而歌剧厅，音乐厅还有多功能厅就像是这个贝壳上的珍珠。这三个大厅都是独立的建筑，他们被大屋顶统一。面向湖面，利用阶梯式石材亲水平台创造出宽敞的公共空间，形成了俯瞰湖泊的开放“城市舞台”，既可供市民休憩、观景，也能满足室外多功能表演的需求。靠水的一侧静止车行，所有的功能区都集中在一起。内部交通方便而有效。屋顶吸取中国建筑传统元素，以此创建屋顶，外墙和基础。天津大剧院总建筑面积10.12万平方米，由歌剧厅、音乐厅、小剧场和多功能厅组成。剧院总共3600个座位。

Grand Theater, Tianjin, China

The Grand Theater occupies the key position  in the newly built Culture Park of Tianjin. The circular  shape of the roof construction  corresponds with the existing Museum of Natural History so that an architectural dialogue of an earth-bound and a “floating” circular volume is created to both ends of the park. Earth and sky represent a fundamental thinking  in Chinese philosophy. The roof volume of the Grand Theater opens up toward the broad water surface like an open sea shell. Opera hall, concert hall and the small multifunctional  hall are exposed to the water surface like pearls inside this shell. The three venues are conceived as free standing volumes on a stone base. Broad stairways connect the stone base with the raised plaza creating a kind of stage for urban life which overlooks the lake and the Culture Park. Vehicular traffic is avoided on the water side. Drop-offs are located to the north and south whilst bus stops are situated along a dwelling mound to the east of the building. All internal areas are located within the base so that an unobstructed internal circulation is achieved. The roof construction is a transformation of the traditional Chinese element of multiple eaves and thus defines a system of common horizontal layers, which creates an architectural  entity of roof, facade and stone base.
