来自荷兰代尔夫特建筑工作室Mecanoo的分享。

Mecanoo建筑工作室设计的HOME艺术中心在2015年5月下旬于英国曼切斯特开幕，这个全新的国际当代艺术，戏剧，电影中心在开幕当天邀请到奥斯卡获奖导演丹尼·博伊尔参加开幕，并吸引了两万五千人前往。建筑拥有两家剧院，五家电影院，画廊，咖啡厅，餐厅。

On Thursday 21st May, Academy Award winning director Danny Boyle officially opened HOME, Manchester’s new centre for international contemporary art, theatre and film. Over 25,000 people visited the arts centre during its inaugural HOMEwarming weekend. HOME features two theatres, five cinemas, a gallery。

HOME艺术中心作为城市中重要的文化中心，拥有醒目的，如同明灯式的外观。Mecanoo建筑事务所的合伙人Francesco Veenstra告诉gooood：“建筑位于拱门和新公共广场之间的三角地带，我们希望为市民打造出最先进的艺术演播环境并创造出一个新鲜却又亲切的空间。”

建筑三角形的体量十分隐忍瞩目，每个角都做了圆润边角处理，其中两个角安放了建筑重要的公共空间和集散空间。多色的玻璃幕墙让整个建筑看上去充满活力。一楼咖啡厅与广场直接相连。

Cultural home

HOME is a catalyst for the developments around First Street, giving Manchester a new cultural epicentre where art and people come together. As the base for the new organisation formed by the merger of Cornerhouse and The Library Theatre Company, HOME has been designed to allow for the commissioning, production and presentation of critically engaged and technically complex artistic projects, as well as the hosting of large scale cultural events in the heart of the city. Its striking exterior acts like a beacon, while the welcoming public spaces and social areas within are designed to be inviting to all; it is a cultural home.

Francesco Veenstra, partner at Mecanoo, said: “HOME is located on a challenging triangular site in between the railway arches and a new public square. Our aim was to provide state of the art conditions for HOME’s artistic programme and create an intimate space that feels both new and familiar.”

Identity

Connecting the First Street zone with the city centre, the building’s characteristic, triangular shape creates a strong visual identity. Its rounded corners are a homage to the former Cornerhouse, a Mancunian establishment now based here. The iridescent glazed facade adorned with irregularly spaced fins opens up where public areas are located, giving the building a dynamic appearance. A terrace is located beneath the large overhang, connecting the café bar to the public square that can be used for outdoor cultural events.

“The triangular floorplan results in a number of unique rooms inhabited within the three curved corners, including the gallery, the restaurant, and one of the five cinemas which features a curved screen.”

竖向木格栅装饰的中央楼梯十分宽敞，该楼梯作为联系剧院，电影院，画廊等各个空间的交通要道以及非正式社会空间。醒目而舒适大气的楼梯鼓励市民减少电梯使用的次数，其设计风格巧妙的与每一层的主题相融合。温暖亲切的木材与混凝土，水泥，玻璃产生了强烈的对比。各司其责表现本真的材料们汇聚一堂，为市民提供一个先进的艺术空间。

Intimacy

The wide central stairwell at the heart of HOME acts as an informal social space, connecting the different uses of the venue: theatre, cinema and gallery. It encourages visitors to use the stairs instead of the lifts as the main circulation route through the building. The bars on each floor and the restaurant – an essential part of the integrated art and culture concept – are cleverly integrated into the characteristic stairwell. The interior concept and layout is that of an urban living room, instilling a sense of warmth and intimacy. The rugged concrete floors and walls contrast beautifully with the warm oak of the bars. The use of raw honest materials like wood, concrete, steel and glass underline HOME’s identity and mission to provide cutting edge visual arts, cinema and theatre.

一层的主剧场有高度不超过15米的三个观众席梯段，共500席座位，座椅色彩斑斓。二楼三楼分布着面积更小的剧场以及电影放映厅。层高不低于4米的画廊位于一楼。出色的隔音效果保证每个剧院和电影院即便同时使用也不会相互干扰。在这个建筑中，电影院和剧院的走廊十分安静。而公共场所十分热闹。

HeartbeatThe main theatre on the first floor contains 500 colourful seats across three levels. It is designed in a way that spectators are never more than fifteen metres from the stage. The adjacent foyer serves as a multifunctional space that can also be used outside of theatre hours. The second and third floors house the smaller flexible studio theatre space and five top-of-the-range cinemas in a range of sizes. The four metre-high flexible gallery space is located on the ground floor. The building provides outstanding sound insulation so all theatres and cinemas can be used simultaneously, without causing disturbance.

“Whereas there can be absolute silence in the theatres and cinemas, the muted sounds of the films and plays flood the hallways and public areas. It’s almost like hearing the building’s heartbeat.”
