据“芝加哥论坛报”报道，奥巴马基金会今天公布了前总统奥巴马总统中心的设计方案。由Todd Williams Billie Tsien Architects设计的总统中心包括三座建筑。场地的北面，最高的建筑将包含该中心的博物馆，而南面的建筑物将围绕公共花园设置图书馆，礼堂和餐厅。

The Obama Foundation today unveiled the design of former President Barack Obama’s Presidential Center, reports The Chicago Tribune. Designed by Todd Williams Billie Tsien Architects, the center’s design comprises three buildings. At the north of the site, the tallest building will contain the center’s museum, while buildings to the south will house a library, auditorium, and restaurant, arranged around a public garden.

Tod Williams，Bill Williams，Bill Williams，Die Griffin，Tod Williams，Billie Tsien和Dina Griffin表示：“该中心的设计方案是以创造真正的社区资产为目标的，力求激发和激励公众迎接我们时代的挑战。”

“奥巴马明确表示，他们希望中心无缝融入公园和社区，并且包括不同的公共空间，希望中心的这个设计与杰克逊公园相交，尊重奥姆斯特德和沃克斯的遗产，挖掘潜力，并为杰克逊公园、南区和芝加哥市的机会。”

“The design approach for the Center is guided by the goal of creating a true community asset that seeks to inspire and empower the public to take on the greatest challenges of our time," said Tod Williams, Billie Tsien and Dina Griffin of Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects | Partners and Interactive Design Architects.
"The Obamas were clear that they wanted the Center to seamlessly integrate into the Park and the community, and include diverse public spaces. Our hope is that this design for the Center interspersed with Jackson Park honors the legacy of Olmsted and Vaux and unlocks potential and opportunity for Jackson Park, the South Side, and the City of Chicago.”

这三座建筑物都将覆盖着大块玻璃的轻石头。在南岸的文化中心展示的模型还表明，虽然两座较低的建筑物都将只是一层楼高，带屋顶，但是它们也将包含大量的地下空间，从而使项目的总面积至20万至225,000平方英尺（18,500至21,000平方米）。“论坛报”指出，贯穿芝加哥的杰克逊公园（Jackson Park）的康奈尔大道（Cornell Drive）将以此为终点。

All three buildings will be clad in light stone with substantial areas of glass. The model displayed at the South Shore Cultural Center also suggests that while the two lower buildings will be both be one story tall—with accessible garden roofs—they will also contain a significant amount of space below-ground, bringing the total area of the project to between 200,000 – 225,000 square feet (18,500 – 21,000 square meters). Located in Chicago’s Jackson Park, the Tribune notes that the design appears to call for the closure of Cornell Drive, a thoroughfare that currently runs through the park.
