橢圓形建築——逸夫演藝中心

設計 04-20

Henning Larsen在香港科大設計的新多功能禮堂已動工，被命名為逸夫演藝中心，是中國香港科大清水灣校區的最新擴建項目。

該項目被設計為橢圓形建築，由一系列相互交錯的白色圓環組成，旨在成為一個充滿活力的新型文化場所。橢圓形的建築形態塑造了校園周圍的流線，可作為通往大學的門戶和學生的文化孵化器。

Henning Larsen has begun construction of a new multi-purpose auditorium for Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Dubbed the Shaw Auditorium, the project is the newest addition to the Clear Water Bay campus of Hong Kong University. The auditorium features an elliptical design with a series of concentric white rings that aims to become a dynamic new cultural venue. The building』s rounded form was made to shape campus flows as a gateway to the university and a cultural incubator for student life.

演藝廳是為音樂會、講座、音樂劇和視覺製作而設計的。該項目配備了模塊化座椅，可根據活動需要進行調整，提供850至1300個座位。

演藝廳也可轉換成一個大型的平層空間，為會議或展覽提供空間。

演藝廳的弧形牆面響應了香港科大對創新的追求，設計成360度投影屏，為學生帶來身臨其境的視聽盛宴。配套教室、休息區和咖啡廳將對外開放，使之成為校園中的文化客廳。

Primarily, the auditorium was designed for concerts, lectures, musicals and visual productions. The project is equipped with modular seating that can be adapted to allow for multiple arrangements, ranging from 850 to up to 1300 seats. The hall can also become a large flat floor area providing spaces for conventions or exhibitions. Reflecting the university』s pursuit for innovation, the curved auditorium walls were designed to function as a 360-degree projection screen, enabling immersive audio-visual experiences. Auxiliary classroom spaces, public furniture and an integrated cafe support the broad public program of the university, creating a cultural living room for the entire campus.

逸夫演藝廳坐落在一個可以俯瞰西貢灣的山頂上，由三層相互交錯的白色圓環組成。同心圓體塊可將周圍景色盡收眼底，同時也起到了遮陽作用。通過降低能耗，使該項目有望成為香港首個獲得綠建環評鉑金級的文化建築。

「我們旨在打造可持續亞熱帶建築的典範，希望能影響到本地的建築業，更多地將氣候因素結合到設計環節中。同時，我們還致力於創建靈活多變的演藝廳，以配合大學追求創新的理念，讓場館可以時刻充滿生機,」 Henning Larsen 合伙人和設計總監Claude Bojer Godefroy解釋說。

Sited on a hilltop overlooking Sai Kung Bay, the Shaw Auditorium takes the form of three layered white rings. The concentric volumes extend panoramic views to the surrounding scenery, doubling in function as over-sized sunshades. By reducing energy consumption, the Shaw Auditorium is poised to become the first of this type of buildings in Hong Kong to achieve a BEAM Platinum sustainability rating. 「Our design aims to become an example of a sustainable subtropical architecture, hopefully influencing the construction industry in this region to design with more consideration to our climate. We also aimed to create the most transformative and innovative auditorium in this region to match the reputation of the University, and to make sure the venue will be lively at all times,」 Partner and Design Principal at Henning Larsen, Claude Bojer Godefroy explains.

該項目是由Henning Larsen與王董建築師事務有限公司、WSP Hong Kong、Theatreplan、Marshall Day Acoustics、URBIS、Inhabit、CTA和RLB共同合作的，預計將於2021年完工。
