II Teatro表演艺术中心由日本建筑师安藤忠雄设计，该建筑形体犹如雕塑。建筑位于Sharjah最大的生活社区Aljada，该项目的主要开发商Arada已经建设了一个占地24155㎡的文化中心。II Teatro延续了安藤忠雄的简约设计风格，是一个面向多层次文化广场的圆柱形混凝土体块。该建筑的巧妙设计重新定义了行为艺术中心：建筑正立面上巨大的拱形开口使建筑充满了活力，并加强了室内外之间的联系。该艺术中心可承办各种表演和节目，主要有歌剧、戏剧、舞蹈、芭蕾舞、音乐剧、音乐会、影片发布会、艺术展览等。内部功能主要包含有2000个座位的礼堂、画廊和特色餐厅。

Japanese architect Tadao Ando was commissioned to design II Teatro, a new sculptural performing arts center soon taking shape in Sharjah’s largest lifestyle community, Aljada. The project’s lead developer, Arada, has revealed the designs of the fully-fledged cultural complex spread over 24,155 sqm. Featuring Tadao Ando’s architectural simplicity, the Il Teatro at Aljada unveils a pure, cylindrical concrete mass facing a multi-layered cultural Plaza. A dramatic secondary feature further defines The performance arts center: a large, arched opening that animates the building front, forming a solid indoor-outdoor connection. It will host various performances and shows, including opera, theater, dance, ballet, musicals, concerts, films, art exhibitions, and festivals. Il Teatro will incorporate, in addition to a 2,000-seat auditorium, a gallery and a boutique restaurant.

安藤忠雄设计的II Teatro表演艺术中心前侧有着一个广场，架空在水面之上的，是一个丰富的公共活动空间，很多活动和节目都会在这里举行，可以给社区人群提供多维度的观演体验。安藤忠雄将场地内的石头、混凝土、光线和水巧妙地设计在一起，并对文化和艺术着重强调，给人们留下深刻的印象。建筑师将建筑的中心结构设计成一个圆形，像地球一样，犹如创造了一个新的世界。这不仅可以吸引当地游客，还可以吸引全球的游客。II Teatro表演艺术中心是安藤忠雄在阿联酋的第二个项目，第一个项目是今年与Arada合作的朱美拉棕榈岛阿玛尼海滩住宅。

Spread over two levels: the Plaza is an elevated public space that floats above water and holds a large outdoor amphitheater that faces Il Teatro by Tadao Ando (see more here). A series of events and activities will be hosted at the Plaza, providing a multi-dimensional experience that inspires the country’s growing creative community. Stone, concrete, light, and water poetically combine to ‘leave a lasting, intergenerational impact through its emphasis on culture and art. I have designed the central structure of the building to be round like the Earth as I wanted to create a new world inside it that will attract not only local people but visitors from around the globe,’ the architect shares. Il Teatro is the second of Tadao Ando’s projects in the UAE, following the Armani Beach Residences at Palm Jumeirah, also in partnership with Arada, which was announced earlier this year.

II Teatro表演艺术中心占据了Aljada社区的中心位置，也在通往社区的主要道路旁。该剧院还处于Naseej创意区的中心，该创意区由19栋建筑组成，其中有Vida Aljada酒店、品牌公寓综合体以及Emaar Hospitality。创意区的人们可以通过城市公园或者人行道到达表演艺术中心。城市公园内部枝叶繁茂，树群两侧有艺术家工作室和咖啡馆等建筑。在剧院附近居住的居民也可以享受剧院举办的各种表演、展览和活动，他们步行即可达到剧院。Naseej社区正在建设，第一批住宅将于今年完工。

II Teatro occupies a prime position within Arada’s Aljada, situated on the main access road into the master community. It also sits at the center of the Naseej creative district, a cluster of 19 buildings incorporating the Vida Aljada hotel and branded apartments complex, where Emaar Hospitality will operate. Residents in the creative district can enjoy access to Il Teatro via two ‘green spines’ or urban parks that contain lush foliage and dense tree coverage, with workshops, artist studios, and cafes facing the parks on both sides. Those living in the neighborhood will also enjoy a rich calendar of events, activations, performances, and exhibitions, all just a short walk away from their front door. Construction in Naseej District is already well underway, with the first homes due to be completed this year. Work on Il Teatro at Aljada will start next year, with the building and plaza scheduled for completion in 2027.
