伦敦德鲁里巷皇家剧院修缮工程丨英国伦敦丨Haworth Tompkins

Haworth Tompkins 完成了对德鲁里巷皇家剧院的大规模修缮工程，该剧院被列为英国国家一级保护建筑，亦是世界上最具声望的剧院之一。这项受 LW 剧团委托、耗资六千万英镑的项目经过七年的艰苦研究、分析、设计和施工，使伦敦最宏伟的剧院焕然一新。

Haworth Tompkins have completed a major restoration of the Grade I listed Theatre Royal Drury Lane, one of the world’s most important theatres. The £60 million project for LW Theatres has involved seven years of painstaking research, analysis, design and craftsmanship to bring London’s grandest venue gloriously back to life.

德鲁里巷剧院是英国戏剧史的缩影，该地自 1663 年就开始举行戏剧表演，Benjamin Dean Wyatt 于 1812 年为此设计了第一家剧院。

Drury Lane encapsulates the history of British theatre, Benjamin Dean Wyatt’s 1812 building being only the latest incarnation of a continuous theatrical presence on the site since 1663.

该项目的一大任务是展示和修复 Wyatt 设计的门厅和楼梯，这里可以说是现存最令人赞叹的 Georgian 风格的系列空间。此外，任务还包括将进入礼堂的分散路线平民化，这是近一个世纪以来，人们第一次无需穿过地下室，可以从街道层直接进入礼堂。剧院引入电梯以及畅通无阻的交通空间，确保每位观众都能体验到建筑的宏伟。并且通过开放门厅原有的三侧入口，避免日后拥堵，使门厅前的空间恢复了昔日辉煌。

A central part of the project vision was to reveal and restore Wyatt’s foyers and staircase – arguably the most impressive Georgian sequence of public interior spaces in existence – and to democratise the previously segregated circulation into the auditorium. For the first time in almost a century, the auditorium can be entered directly from street level without needing to go via the basement level. A new lift, along with fully accessible circulation at each level, has ensured that every audience member can now experience the grandeur of the architecture. And by opening up the original foyer entrances on three sides and removing later accretions, the front of house foyer has been restored to its former glory.

Haworth Tompkins 与室内设计团队 AWI 合作，在剧院新设了酒吧、零售空间和家具，使剧院可以日夜开放，并且在空间内应用 BDP 照明，使其重现温暖、柔和的氛围。Andrew Lloyd Webber 受到委托，亲自为门厅创作了新画作和“珐琅灰”壁画，为剧院补充了一系列新的装饰画。

We have collaborated with interior designers AWI to install new bars, retail space and furniture that enable the theatre to operate viably throughout the day and evening, and with BDP lighting to recreate a warm, soft ambience inspired by historic precedents. Andrew Lloyd Webber has personally commissioned new paintings and ‘grisaille’ murals for the foyers to complement a new hang of historic paintings, drawings and posters.

20 世纪 20 年代，Wyatt 设计的多层封闭礼堂被当时流行的更为独立的影院式座位布局所代替。设计团队的关键任务是让观众与舞台建立更密切、更直接的关系，他们希望达到 LW 剧团另一个客容量相当的伦敦守护神剧院的空间效果。Haworth Tompkins 与剧院顾问机构 Charcoalblue 合作，移除障碍物、打造舞台空间，大大改善了观演视线。修缮后的礼堂已经完全融入新技术，剧院也首次可以安排新颖的表演形式。

Wyatt’s multi-tiered, enveloping auditorium was replaced entirely in the 1920s when a more disengaged, cinematic style of seating arrangement was fashionable. A crucial aspect of our work has been to bring the audience into a closer and more direct relationship with the stage, aspiring to the legendary intimacy of LW Theatre’s other great venue of similar capacity, Frank Matcham’s London Palladium. Haworth Tompkins worked alongside regular theatre consultant partners Charcoalblue, greatly improving the sightlines, removing overbearing boxes and subtly tightening the room geometry to embrace the stage more closely. The redecorated auditorium has been fully re-seated and technically refitted so that for the first time it will be possible to arrange the theatre in unconventional formats for specific productions.

随着舞台用房的技术更新、洗手间的扩容以及更衣室的全面翻新，整栋建筑都更新升级。这座宏伟的历史剧院有了崭新的形象，可以迎接新生代的戏剧表演。

With major technical renewal of the stagehouse, greatly increased restroom provision and full refurbishment of the dressing rooms, the entire building has been restored and upgraded: this magnificent historic theatre has entered yet another incarnation, equipped for the next generations of theatre making.

项目总监 Steve Tompkins 说：“对我们来说，没有比这更复杂和精细的剧院修复了。德鲁里巷剧院是英国戏剧史上的里程碑，我们大部分任务是保护并修复它本就惊人的品质。但它又是 21 世纪的公共剧院，因此对 LW 剧团和我们来说，另一个同样重要的任务是确保剧院在文化、技术和商业变革的世界中继续蓬勃发展。我们很庆幸能为复兴这座精彩的历史建筑做出贡献。”

Project director Steve Tompkins said: “It’s hard for us to imagine a more complex or more delicate theatre restoration than this one. Drury Lane is the history of British theatre in one building and much of our task has been to protect and restore its astonishing original qualities. But it is also a public venue operating into the 21st century, and so an equally important task for LW Theatres and the design team has been to make sure the theatre as a whole continues to thrive in a world that is culturally, technically and commercially transformed. We’re thrilled to have played a part in bringing this truly wonderful old building back to full health for many years to come.”

Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber 说：“我相信德鲁里巷剧院如今是伦敦最温馨、最美的礼堂之一，也是世界上功能最丰富的历史剧院空间。”

Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber said: “I believe that the Lane is now one of London’s most warm and beautiful auditoriums, and the most versatile historic theatrical space anywhere in the world.”

皇家剧院项目总监 Dan Watkins 说：“五年多以来，我们与 Haworth Tompkins 密切合作，共同确定、质疑、完善 Andrew 和 Madeleine 对全面修复剧院的设想。这个项目很复杂，Haworth Tompkins 一直在迎接每一个挑战，最终，我们一起创造了独树一帜的英国剧院。”

Theatre Royal Project Director Dan Watkins said: “For over five years, we have worked very closely with Haworth Tompkins to define, interrogate and perfect Andrew and Madeleine’s extraordinary vision for the total restoration and reimagination of Theatre Royal Drury Lane. This has been a complicated project and HT have consistently risen to meet every challenge and, together, we have created something very special and peerless in British theatre.”
