该项目位于旧金山城市中心，这里是城市的艺术表演区域，Ute & William K. Bowes表演艺术中心处于旧金山音乐学院（SFCM）之中，由Mark Cavagnero Associates事务所设计，建筑如同一座垂直园区，其中包含有学生宿舍、餐厅、教室、排练室、表演空间，以及一个广播站。

Text description provided by the architects. Located in the heart of San Francisco’s Civic Center, the city’s performing arts district, the Ute & William K. Bowes, Jr. Center for Performing Arts at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music (SFCM) was designed by Mark Cavagnero Associates (Cavagnero) as a “vertical campus” that incorporates student housing, dining, classrooms, rehearsal rooms, performance spaces, and a radio station all under one roof.







建筑的名字是为了纪念William K. Bowes, Jr基金会的4600万美元的捐赠，这也是目前对于音乐院校捐赠的最大金额，基金会的同名者是SFCM的支持方，从2006年开始，Bowes中心为共计420名学生提供了宿舍，学生们从这里步行可达位于Oak大街50号的Ann Getty中心，这座建筑还包含有27套公寓，而这些公寓也经过升级改造，服务于曾经的使用者。

The Center is named in honor and recognition of the $46.4M gift from the William K. Bowes, Jr. Foundation, which marks the largest capital gift ever made to a music school; the Foundation’s namesake was a longtime SFCM supporter and trustee. Walking distance to SFCM’s Ann Getty Center at 50 Oak Street, the Conservatory’s home since 2006, the Bowes Center creates housing for up to 420 students. The building also includes 27 rent-stabilized apartments, which upgrade and replace existing units from the site’s previous building for its prior tenants.







Cavagnero的设计强调了开放性和参与性，光线通过室外的白色透明玻璃进入室内，Bowes中心充斥着音乐，路过的行人可以在这个十字路口驻足停留，通过地面层如珠宝盒般的Cha Chi Ming表演大厅的通高玻璃来观看表演，上部两层在夜间如同灯塔一般闪闪发光，这里设置有落地窗、200座Barbro Osher表演大厅、灵活的活动空间，除此之外还有屋顶露台，人们在这里可以欣赏到市政大厅、Davies交响乐大厅、战争纪念剧院的美景。

Cavagnero’s design emphasizes openness, engagement, and light through its exterior of white and transparent glass. Filled with the sights and sounds of music, the Bowes Center invites passersby at this active intersection to see performances through floor-to-ceiling windows in its ground-floor jewel-box Cha Chi Ming Recital Hall. The top two floors glow like a beacon at night, with floor-to-ceiling windows, the 200-seat Barbro Osher Recital Hall, flexible event space, and roof terrace offering unparalleled views of City Hall, Davies Symphony Hall, the War Memorial Opera House, and other landmarks.



Cavagnero对于Bowes学院的设计时在SFJAZZ的设计前提中进行了创新，应用了具有透明度的外部立面效果，同时也进行了严格的声学控制，这是为了满足一向的设计策略，同时做到楼层之间的声学需求，建筑的12个楼层中结合了多种功能，比如表演、练习、录音，以及居住同时也由于附近Van Ness大道的存在而变得更加复杂，Cavagnero团队设计了定制的玻璃幕墙系统，把所有的声学需求都集中在统一的无缝立面之中，除此之外，Cavagnero团队还与Kirkegaard Associates事务所、Tipping结构工程团队，以及幕墙制造商CS Erectors共同合作，突破了玻璃这种材质在高度声学等级之下的功能，设计方案应用了双层玻璃幕墙和漂浮的结构面板来隔绝街道的噪音和振动，同时保持表演空间的透明度，双层玻璃系统给设计方带来了可持续的元素，创造了额外的热缓冲区域。

Building on the firm’s innovations in the design of SFJAZZ, Cavagnero’s design for Bowes achieves the transparency of a glass exterior while exceeding its rigorous acoustic requirements. To achieve a cohesive design language, while meeting its high acoustic demands—which change from floor to floor, with a mix of performance, practice, recording, and residential spaces throughout its twelve stories, and are made more complex by the neighboring Van Ness Avenue—the Cavagnero team designed a custom curtainwall system that integrates all acoustic requirements into one seamless envelope. Collaborating with Kirkegaard Associates, Tipping Structural Engineers, and curtainwall fabricator CS Erectors, Cavagnero pushed the boundaries of glass’s capacity to perform at high acoustic levels. The design utilizes double-glazed walls and a floating structural slab to isolate noise and vibration transmission from the street while maintaining transparency in the performance spaces. The double-glazed system also provides a sustainable element to the design, creating an additional thermal buffer.





在Bowes中心的二层，新媒体中心结合了录音空间、教室，以及听力房，让学生们更好地参与到项目之中，该项目位于城市的表演艺术区域，毗邻硅谷，培育的学生们都经过了专业的训练，成为能够为电影、广播游戏配乐的专业人员。Bowes中心为SFJAZZ合作创立，同时也为SFCM的爵士、美国音乐的学生们使用，所有SFCM的学生们所应用的教室、键盘实验室、黑匣子技术大厅，以及录音室都位于地面层下方的空间，该空间有着高度的声学控制特征，在建筑的3至11层则设置为不同规模的住房单元，每个单元都有着很好的隔音效果，其中的一个楼层专门服务于旧金山芭蕾舞团的学生们，这也是音乐学院和SF芭蕾舞团的合作。

On the Bowes Center’s second level, the Center for New Media features studio space, lesson rooms, and critical listening rooms for students participating in the Conservatory’s Technology and Applied Composition Program. Capitalizing on the school’s location in the performing arts district, and proximity to Silicon Valley, the program prepares classically trained composers to score the film and video games. The center is also used by students in SFCM’s Roots, Jazz, and American Music Program, created in partnership with SFJAZZ. Classrooms, keyboard labs, a black box Technology Hall and a recording studio for all SFCM students are located in highly acoustically controlled spaces below ground levels. Floors three through 11 hold one, two, and three-bedroom housing units, each acoustically isolated for practicing. One floor is dedicated to housing San Francisco Ballet Students as an extension of the Conservatory’s unprecedented partnership with the nearby SF Ballet.



项目描述。Bowes中心是一个垂直园区，结合了经济的学生住宅、餐厅、教室、排练厅、表演空间、员工办公室，以及一个广播站，其目的是让学生们能够在一个具有协作特征的环境中创作、学习，以及分享音乐，该中心的名字来源于William K. Bowes, Jr基金会，该基金会曾经捐赠了4600万美元，建筑也扩大了园区的占地面积，同时结合了最为先进的教学设施和三个全新的表演大厅。

Project Description. A “vertical campus” that incorporates affordable student housing, dining, classrooms, rehearsal rooms, performance spaces, faculty offices, and a radio station under a single roof, the Bowes Center is designed to enable students to create, learn, and share music in an integrated, collaborative environment. Named in honor and recognition of the $46.4M gift from the William K. Bowes, Jr. Foundation, the Bowes Center doubles the school’s square footage and features state-of-the-art teaching facilities and three new performance halls.
