OPEN 建筑事务所作品山谷音乐厅近日完工。经过 4 年的设计与建造，这座倍受期待的半室外音乐厅将于 2022 年春季正式投入使用。

位于距北京市区约两小时车程的河北承德金山岭，建筑如同一块来自远古的巨石，降落在可以远眺长城的山谷。

该项目由 OPEN 创始合伙人李虎和黄文菁主持设计，两位建筑师表示：“这是一座由声音出发、由内而外雕刻而成的建筑。我们称它为 Chapel of Sound，希望人们可以‘看到’声音的形状，或者‘听到’寂静的声响。”

Nestled in a mountainous valley two hours away by car from the center of Beijing, The Chapel of Sound is a monolithic open-air concert hall with views to the ruins of the Ming Dynasty-era Great Wall. Designed by Beijing-based architecture office, OPEN, to look as a mysterious boulder that had gently fallen into place, the building is built entirely from concrete that is enriched with an aggregate of local mineral-rich rocks, and encompasses a semi-outdoor amphitheater, outdoor stage, viewing platforms, and a green room. While designed to capture the unfamiliar and deeply touching experience of music performed in the cradle of nature, the architects also wanted people just to calm down and listen to the sound of nature, which they believe is profoundly inspiring and healing. When there is no performance, the concert hall is also a tranquil space for contemplation and community gatherings with stunning views of the sky and the surrounding landscape.

建筑包含一个半室外音乐厅、几处面向山谷的观景平台、一个朝向草坡的室外舞台和音乐家工作室等少量室内空间，既能承载室内乐、音乐节、舞蹈等不同形式的专业演出，也可用于独处沉思或社区聚会。北方山区的冬季人迹罕至，因此音乐厅只在相对温暖的季节开放，以避免大规模的能源消耗，这也让半室外成为可能。建筑师希望这座音乐厅可以成为一处庇护所，建立人与自然的深层连接。在这里，人们能感知到阳光、雨雪和四季的变化，或者听到平常忽略掉的鸟叫虫鸣。
