项目概述
Project Description

圣十字学院Prior表演艺术中心位于美国马萨诸塞州伍斯特市，占地8.4万平方英尺（约7804平方米），是一个以表演和视觉艺术为基础的多学科学习孵化器，可供所有科系的学生使用。作为学校的文化中心，该项目提供同时适用于美术和表演艺术的场地，包括400座的音乐厅、200座的灵活演播剧场以及新迁址的Cantor艺术画廊。

The 84,000 sf Prior Performing Arts Center for the College of the Holy Cross has been designed to be an incubator for multidisciplinary learning grounded in the performing and visual arts for students from all academic disciplines. Standing as the cultural center of the school—with venues for both fine arts and performing arts—the building houses the 400-seat concert hall, a 200-seat flexible studio theatre, and the relocated Cantor Art Gallery.

Prior表演艺术中心坐落在校园上区中心，将校内多条交通路径汇聚于其内部的标志性场所：“蜂巢”（Beehive）。围绕着这个中心空间，分布着四个主要的场馆，包括用于歌剧和音乐表演的多功能剧院、用于戏剧的演播剧场、艺术和媒体馆，以及实践和制作馆。

Anchoring the Upper District of campus, the Center gathers together existing vectors of campus circulation at its heart: the Beehive. Around this central space the programs are divided into four pavilions: the Multipurpose Theater for opera and music; the Studio Theater for drama; Art/Media; and Practice/Production.

四个场馆分别被容纳在两组成对分布的墙壁内，这些墙壁相交形成一个九宫网格。网格的四角均设有独特的庭院空间，分别是小型露天剧场、户外教学和工作空间、冥想花园以及雕塑花园。成对的墙体呈扭曲、上升和交错状，其中一座场馆的墙壁成为了它旁边场馆的屋顶，从而创造出一道围绕着中心的“链条”，将多个带有拱顶的入口直接引入建筑的中心。对比鲜明的预制混凝土墙和耐候钢墙是对老校区砖墙和石灰石墙的重新诠释。利用场地的自然美景，艺术中心成为了其他校园建筑的一个具有特殊意义的“对照物”，它既凸显于校园的最高点，又与其周围环境建立了和谐的关系。

The four pavilions are contained within two pairs of walls that intersect to form a nine square grid. In each corner of the grid lies a unique courtyard garden: a small amphitheater, an outdoor teaching area and workspace, a meditative garden, and a sculpture garden. The paired walls twist, rise, and interlock, the wall of one pavilion becoming the roof of its neighbor, forming a chain around the center and creating arched entries directly into the heart of the building. The opposing precast concrete and weathering steel walls reinterpret the brick and limestone of the historic campus. Taking advantage of the site’s natural beauty, the Center’s design creates a meaningful counterpoint to the surrounding campus architecture, both fitting in and standing out on the highest point on campus.

设计亮点
Major Features

蜂巢 | Beehive

“蜂巢”被构想为公共功能与学生创作之间的可见“连接器”，能够让各种后台功能随时激活建筑空间。作为灵活的公共区域，“蜂巢”包含了支持创意性合作的咖啡馆、可进行作曲课程、录音、声音、视频和电影编辑的共享多媒体教学空间、协作办公空间以及多功能排练空间。这种非正式且可调节的功能使“蜂巢”成为了来自不同专业的所有学生的创意乐园。这里就像是一座舞台，以黑钢材料为主的技术基础设施区域环绕在其周围，兼具了原始与精致的观感，同时，钢铁材料与楼梯、吧台、座椅和学生合作区的丰富木材形成了对比。简约的“积木式”可移动家具为学生们创造了可以随时发起活动和表演的空间。

The Beehive acts as a visible connective tissue between the public program and the student productions, allowing back-of-house functions to activate the building at all times. A flexible space with a cafe that supports creative collaboration, the Beehive includes a shared multimedia teaching space for electronic music and musical composition courses, sound recording, sound editing, and video and film editing as well as collaborative work spaces and multipurpose rehearsal spaces. The informal, hackable nature of the Beehive turns it into a creative playground for study and performance for all students irrespective of their majors. Like a stage, the interior materials combine both the raw and refined: an exposed dark steel technical infrastructure zone rings the space. The steel stands in contrast with the rich woods for the stairs, bars, seating, and student collaboration zones. Simple “building-block” movable furniture allows students to create a performance space for spontaneous events.

Luth音乐厅 | Luth Concert Hall

可转换功能的400座音乐厅以及带有全舞台塔的镜框式剧场，是学院举办交响乐、室内音乐、爵士乐、加麦兰以及歌剧、音乐剧和舞蹈表演的主要场所。礼堂的设计既能适应午间音乐会小群体观众的需求，亦适用于举办大型活动。礼堂墙壁采用了定制的参数化混凝土扩散板，由DS+R事务所与Jaffe Holden合作开发和测试，并为音乐表演进行了专门调整。

A 400-seat convertible concert hall and proscenium theatre with a full fly tower, serves as the College’s principle venue for symphonic music, chamber music, jazz, gamelan, as well as opera, musical theatre, and dance. The auditorium is designed to the intimate for both smaller audiences for lunch time concerts and larger audiences for premier events. The auditorium walls feature custom parametrically designed concrete diffusion panels developed and tested by DS+R in collaboration with Jaffe Holden, specifically tuned for musical performances.

Boroughs剧场 | Boroughs Theater

Boroughs是一个200座的完全灵活的演播剧场，拥有52英尺（约16米）的可操作墙壁，可以将剧场连接至“蜂巢”空间。

媒体实验室 | Media Lab

媒体实验室同样开放于“蜂巢”，为数字音乐制作、声音和视频编辑、电影、灯光和布景设计提供了一个共享的多媒体实验场和表演空间。

Opening onto the Beehive, a shared multimedia laboratory and performance space is provided for digital music, sound and video editing, film, lighting and set design.

Cantor艺术画廊 | Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Art Gallery

Cantor艺术画廊由O’Kane Hall迁址而来并进行了扩建，如今可以容纳各类跨学科的展览，同时还配备了更充足的展览和储存空间。

The Cantor Art Gallery, relocated from its former location in O’Kane Hall, has been expanded to accommodate a variety of interdisciplinary exhibits and increased exhibition and storage space.

排练室 | Rehearsal Rooms

用于排练的舞蹈室可以被重新配置为活动空间，并与享有伍斯特和黑石谷全景视野的屋顶露天活动空间相连接。此外还有一个小型的合奏排练及现场录音室。

A dance studio for rehearsal can be reconfigured as an event space that connects to an outdoor, rooftop event space with sweeping views of Worcester and The Blackstone Valley. A small ensemble rehearsal and live recording room.

创作空间 | Production Spaces

多种类型的创作空间包含布景车间、服装车间、录音室、灯光和布景设计车间以及多功能练习室等，它们分布在精心设计的表演空间和白盒子画廊旁，从“蜂巢”处可以清楚地看见。这些创作空间向校园社区展示了学生们产出艺术的过程，同时也确保了建筑能够随时处于活跃的状态。

From the vantage point of the Beehive, production spaces including a scene shop, costume shop, recording studio, lighting and set design study, and multi–use practice rooms are visible next to refined performance spaces and the white box gallery, revealing the process of artistic output to the campus community and ensuring that the house never goes dark.

技术特色
Technical Features

立面 | Façade

成对分布的GFRC和耐候钢墙壁通过参数化建模而实现了精确合理的曲线和面板造型。建筑物控制表面模型被用作与立面承包商合作开发的建造模型的基础。

The twists in the paired GFRC and weathering steel walls were parametrically modeled to rationalize the curves and panelization. The architectural control surface models were used as the base for the fabrication models in collaboration with the façade contractor.

可持续性 | Sustainability

Prior表演艺术中心的设计体现了生态管理的理念。该建筑是按照LEED标准设计。鉴于学生和教职员会在大楼内长时间停留，因而在设计上特别强调了室内环境的质量，尤其是空气、光线、热舒适度和材料。所有空间（包括表演空间）都与外部建立了视觉联系，并允许自然光线的进入。

The Center has been designed to demonstrate ecological stewardship. The building is designed to LEED standards. Knowing that students and faculty will spend long hours in the building, a particular emphasis has been placed on the quality of the indoor environment—specifically air, light, thermal comfort, and materials. Each space has a visual connection to the exterior and allows in natural light, including the performance spaces.
