David Brownlow Theatre / Jonathan Tuckey Design

来自建筑事务所的描述：Jonathan Tuckey设计事务所在英格兰东南部的学校用地上设计建造了一座全新的剧院，这座建筑秉持着“在建筑上建造”的设计理念，在修复和改善现有校园的功能中起到了重要的作用，在国际上享有盛誉。

Text description provided by the architects. Jonathan Tuckey Design has completed a new theatre on the grounds of a school in southeast England. True to the practice’s commitment to ‘building on the built’, for which it has earned an international reputation, the new theatre plays a vital role in repairing and enhancing the existing campus.





这座全新的可持续建筑经过精心设计，与周边建筑相互协调，成功地将原来毫无特征的停车场改造为充满活力的城市广场，Horris Hill位于Berkshire乡村校园内，是一座全日制预科学校，学生为4至13岁的男生，建筑场地为85英亩，这里有树林、运动场，以及厨房花园，室外教育活动场地也是学校的基本组成部分，它们能够很好地保持着学校的整体社区感。

The new, sustainable building has been carefully crafted to sit in concert with the neighbouring buildings and succeeds in turning what was once a featureless car park into an animated civic square. Horris Hill is a day and boarding preparatory school for boys aged between 4 and 13, set within a rural campus in Berkshire. It is located on 85 acres containing woods, sports pitches, and a kitchen garden. Outdoor education and extracurricular activity are fundamental parts of the school, both of which help Horris Hill maintain a whole-school community ethos.





这座剧院的名字来源于其赞助者Lord David Brownlow，这也是David Brownlow慈善基金会的创始人，这很好地提升了Horris Hill学校130名学生的个人发展前景，这座建筑有着多种戏剧实践，例如表演、制作，以及设计，同时将这些内容融入到校园文化中。

The theatre, which is named after its main benefactor, Lord David Brownlow, founder of the David Brownlow Charitable Foundation, will significantly enhance the personal development of the 130 pupils attending Horris Hill. It will afford access to all aspects of theatre practice: performance, production, and design – and embed these into the culture of the school.







教学时间之外，这座全新的剧院通过当地的戏剧俱乐部和社团面向更加广泛的社区开放，当英国各个艺术场馆关闭的时候，为这些活动提供各种各样的设施，建筑可以举办校园聚会、音乐演奏会，以及戏剧制作活动，整体包含有3个独特的空间，从而构成了充满活力的建筑，让整个校园都得以焕发新生，这三个空间包含有160座礼堂和表演空间、环绕入口门厅而构成的聚会场所，以及南侧的户外圆形剧院，这个剧院面向树林和操场，也使得剧院舞台延伸向周围的景观。

Outside of teaching hours, the new theatre will open up to the wider community through local theatre clubs and groups, providing facilities to sustain these activities at a time when countless art venues are closing across the UK. Designed to host school assemblies, music recitals, and drama productions, the development comprises three unique spaces, creating a building which is animated on all sides, activating the whole campus. The three spaces include a 160-seat auditorium and performance space; a congregating space around the entrance portico; an outdoor amphitheatre on the south elevation, facing the woods and school playing fields, which extends the theatre stage into the surrounding Arcadian landscape.



在2016年3月，Jonathan Tuckey设计事务所在项目竞赛中脱颖而出，项目组希望能够设计一座延伸艺术与戏剧课程的剧院，因为表演艺术能够提升学生们的自信心、语言把控能力、辩论技巧，以及演讲能力。

The design was the outcome of an invited competition, won by the practice in March 2016. The brief called for a theatre that would expand the arts and drama curriculum at the school – in recognition that performing arts improve pupils’ confidence, grasp of languages, debating skills, oratory and aptitude.



这座剧院取代了建造在校园西侧的模块化建筑，这座建筑建造于上世纪70年代，新建筑与周边环境构成微妙的角度，从而融入场地的现有气息，同时在现有的建筑群中构成了市民广场，Jonathan Tuckey设计事务所应用了自然材料，构成了被动式的通风建筑，构成了和谐的整体校园环境，建筑由交叉层压木材（CLT）建造而成，这是一种工程木材结构体系，外部覆盖着Viroc木材纤维面板，CLT框架能够很好地减少现场的施工时间，并且相较于传统砌块而言，这种材料能够减少排放大约40吨二氧化碳。

The theatre replaces a modular cabin built in the 1970s on the western side of the campus. The new building is positioned at a slight angle from its surroundings, to embrace the latent urbanity of the site, creating a civic square within the existing collection of buildings. Jonathan Tuckey Design has employed natural materials to create a passively ventilated theatre which sits harmoniously within the wooded setting of the campus. It is constructed of cross-laminated timber (CLT), an engineered wood structural system, and clad with Viroc wood fibre panelling. The CLT frame was chosen for its cost effectiveness and to reduce construction time on site; its specification has ensured a saving of 40 tonnes of CO2 compared to traditional blockwork.



建筑师通过材质和结构让建筑和周边环境得以区分，但是这些特性又来自于周边空间，除此之外，Viroc立面的暖红色调则让建筑仿佛生长于周边维多利亚建筑之中，设计方案在面板、材料的应用方面有着很大的创新，Viroc面板经过机器的切割，减少了浪费，工人在通过手工将其制作成木工制品。

The theatre draws from its surroundings by being consciously distinct in materiality and structure. However, the warm red hue of the Viroc elevations roots the theatre in among the earthy brick of the neighbouring Victorian buildings and more recent additions. The design is innovative in its use and articulation of sheet materials and flat surfaces. The Viroc was machine cut off-site from sheets to reduce waste, and pieced together by hand as one object of joinery.



高大的门廊结构将建筑从主要的入口位置向北侧延伸，同时激活前侧的全新市民广场，这就像是一个巨大的标识系统，表达着这里构成了聚会空间，服务于学生团体，在建筑内部，CLT框架直接裸露在外，内部有着不同深度的木材面板，这是为了呼应的外部立面形态，面板的重复特质在底部显得更加规整，强调了整体结构的坚固感，同时边向上延伸边蔓延，也在建筑的上方构成了宽阔的感受，浅灰色的声学面板应用内部，用于吸收声音，也减少了混响。

A tall portico structure announces the theatre from the main point of arrival to the north and activates the new civic square in front. It will be used as a billboard to announce theatre productions and functions as an assembly space for small groups of pupils. Inside, the CLT frame is left exposed and lined with beech battens of varying depths to reference the articulation of the external façade. The repetition of battens is more regimented at the base to emphasise the solidity of the structure, and diffused as it ascends to create a sense of a firmament in the upper part of the theatre. Light grey acoustic panels are introduced throughout to absorb sound and prevent echoes.







起伏的天花板有着深蓝色调装饰，这代表了夜空的感受，通过声学的研究，建筑师让舞台上的声音映射到礼堂里，地面则是黑色抛光Viroc面板，这种表达方式参考文艺复兴时期华丽教堂的石材地面，人们的流线是入口大厅、声学门廊、通向礼堂的入口区域，礼堂中有舞台，而后台、卸货区则位于后方，储藏室和卫生间则设置在倾斜看台的下方，人们会从门厅直接进入到看台区。

The undulating ceiling, finished in a deep dark blue to represent the night sky, has been acoustically modelled to project sound from the stage into the auditorium. The floor is black polished Viroc, cut into a pattern to reference the ornate stone floors of Renaissance churches. The arrival sequence is through an entrance lobby, acoustic threshold and entrance corridor into the auditorium with the stage, backstage area and loading bay to the rear. Storage and toilets are concealed beneath the raked seating accessed from the entrance lobby.



项目的灵感来源于Christine Boyer的书《集体记忆的城市》，书中认为剧院是日常生活的舞台，因此建筑师借鉴了诸如Tudor剧院的站立摊位、古典剧院的前厅和柱廊等历史母题，除此之外，还有文艺复兴时期的建筑母题。

The project draws inspiration from Christine Boyer’s book, The City of Collective Memory, in its recognition that the theatre will be a stage set for everyday life. The design borrows historical motifs such as the standing stalls of Tudor theatre, classical theatre proscenium and colonnade, as well as motifs from Renaissance ecclesiastical architecture.
