剧院设计

Theatre Design

该项目位于广州花都区，于近期竣工，共有2000个座位，由伦敦事务所Steven Chilton Architects设计。广州是海上丝绸之路的发祥地之一，自汉代以来一直是重要的艺术和贸易中心。受当地传统和当代艺术家的启发，剧院的设计理念借鉴了艺术家张鸿飞的刺绣图案。Steven Chilton表示：“几千年来，广州一直是艺术家们的灵感发源地，他们影响了世界对中国文化的理解。在设计中，我们致力于通过剧院传达这座城市的历史、热情和创造力，从而孕育下一代表演艺术家。”

Located in the Huadu District of Guangzhou, China, the ‘Sunac Guangzhou Grand Theatre’ is the recently completed, 2000 seat purpose-built theatre, designed by London based practice SCA|Steven Chilton Architects. Guangzhou is the birthplace of the ‘Silk Road on the Sea’ and has been a significant centre for the arts and trading since the Han Dynasty. Inspired by its traditional and contemporary artists, the concept for the theatre has been informed by silk embroidery the illustrations of artist Zhang Hongfei. Steven Chilton says, ‘Guangzhou has been the home of and inspiration for artists who have helped to define the worlds concept of Chinese culture for thousands of years. Through our work on the theatre, we have endeavoured to channel the history, emotion and creative energy of the city through a building whose purpose is to nurture the next generation of cultural leaders in the performing arts.’

在广州，丝绸用于刺绣已有千年历史，当地艺术家创造性地将帷帐和长袍等丝绸制品作为描绘神话故事和自然风光的媒介。剧院外壳采取十组扭转的褶皱来模拟丝绸的质感，褶皱表面向内收拢，在地面处形成了不同的入口，每个入口均受到上方悬挑的保护。

Silk has been painted and embroidered by fine artists in Guangzhou for thousands of years and developed as a creative medium for depicting myths and scenes of nature on tapestries and ornamental robes. The physicality of silk cloth informed the formal expression of the building through a series of ten, gently twisting folds that define the outer envelope. The various entrances into the building are created by ‘tucking’ the surface in on itself where the valley of each fold would meet the ground plane. Each entrance is protected by a natural canopy created by the overhanging surface before it ‘tucks’ in to define the opening.
