圣路易斯交响乐团鲍威尔音乐厅 / Snøhetta

社区融合与无障碍的典范：该项目最核心的亮点在于其对公共开放性和无障碍性的深刻承诺。通过 64,000 平方英尺的扩建，鲍威尔音乐厅不再是封闭的文化殿堂，而是积极向社区敞开大门的城市门户。设计策略着重于实现全面的无障碍通行，并整合了教育设施和优化了后台空间，确保了从创意孵化到现场演出的全过程都能有效支持社区互动，从而显著提升了音乐厅在城市肌理中的包容性和参与度。

富有诗意的建筑形态与场所精神的重塑：入口设计巧妙地从历史音乐厅的空间语言和乐器造型中汲取灵感，形成了一系列倾斜砌筑石材的壳体结构。这种设计语言不仅是对历史文脉的致敬，更创造出既简洁又富有雕塑感的“前厅附属空间”。拱形城市窗不仅引入了光线，更使内部的活力得以向外界窥探，模糊了室内外的界限，体现了对音乐抒情特质的建筑回应，成功重塑了音乐厅的场所精神。

城市空间活力的激活者：项目将建筑的界面延伸至城市尺度，通过在核心交叉口设计一座阳光充裕的公共广场，将音乐厅活动引向户外。这一举措有效地汇聚了周边艺术机构的活力，创造了一个多功能的新型城市节点，集社交集会、交通组织和自然休憩于一体。流畅的流线设计和高耸的种植边界，不仅优化了人流导向，更以热情的姿态欢迎市民，使音乐厅成为激活城市公共生活的重要引擎。

Since 2019, Snøhetta, in collaboration with Christener Architects, Schuler Shook lighting designers, BSI Constructors, and acousticians Kirkegaard, has been leading the expansion and modernization of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra’s historic venue, Powell Hall. In preparation for the hall’s centennial in 2025, the institution embarked on an ambitious 64,000-square-foot (approx. 5946 square meters) expansion with the team led by Snøhetta as the design architect and landscape architect. The project aims to achieve more comprehensive accessibility and open the doors to the community, creating a facility that supports and nurtures the creative process from ideation through performance.
自 2019 年起，Snøhetta 建筑事务所携手 Christener Architects 建筑公司、Schuler Shook 照明设计公司、BSI Constructors 建筑公司以及 Kirkegaard 声学设计公司，共同主导了圣路易斯交响乐团历史悠久的演出场地 —— 鲍威尔音乐厅的扩建与现代化改造项目。为迎接 2025 年音乐厅建成一百周年，该机构携手以 Snøhetta为设计建筑师和景观建筑师的团队，展开了一项雄心勃勃的 64000 平方英尺（约 5946 平方米）扩建工程。该项目将使音乐厅实现更全面的无障碍通行，并向社区敞开大门，打造一座从创意构思到舞台表演全程支持并滋养创作过程的设施。

Within the renewed Powell Hall, a series of public spaces will work in concert with the expanded lobby and back-of-house areas to provide barrier-free access for the public, incorporate educational facilities, and optimize backstage operations, thereby enhancing all aspects of the hall’s experience within the community.
在焕然一新的鲍威尔音乐厅，一系列公共空间将与扩建后的大堂及后台区域协同配合，为公众提供无障碍通行环境，同时配备教育设施，并优化后台空间，从而全面提升音乐厅在社区使用中的各个方面体验。

Drawing inspiration from the spatial language of the historic hall and the forms of the instruments within, the entrance is designed as a series of angled shell structures composed of tilted masonry units, creating a vestibule ancillary space defined by simple sloping planes and arched openings. The arched city windows reveal the internal sense of delight and creative energy, offering a glimpse of the activity within even before entering. Inside, the triple-height space features a series of gathering areas, including terraces that face each other, allowing audiences to both view the surroundings and be part of the spectacle.
借鉴历史音乐厅的空间语言及其内部乐器的造型，入口设计为一系列由倾斜砌筑石材拼接而成的斜面壳体结构，打造出一个由简洁倾斜面与拱形开口构成的前厅附属空间。拱形城市窗透出内部的欢愉氛围与创作活力，即便未入场内，亦能让人一窥其中精彩。步入内部，三倍层高空间内设有一系列聚会区域，包括相互对望的露台，让观众在欣赏演出时既能观景又能成为他人眼中的风景。

Also inspired by the lyrical qualities inherent in the music itself, Snøhetta designed a revitalized public plaza at the intersection of Grand Boulevard and Samuel Shepard Drive, extending the hall’s activities outdoors to create a welcoming, sunlit square. From an urban planning perspective, this space gathers the vitality of neighboring cultural institutions, creating a vibrant new public realm with multiple functions—a place for pre-event gatherings, an area that integrates vehicle drop-off to the east, and a lush garden for everyone to enjoy.
同样受到音乐本身所蕴含的抒情特质的启发，Snøhetta 建筑事务所在格兰德大道（Grand Boulevard）与塞缪尔·谢泼德大道（Samuel Shepard Drive）交汇处设计了一座焕然一新的公共广场，将音乐厅内的活动延伸至户外，打造出一个温馨宜人、阳光普照的广场空间。从城市规划角度来看，该空间将周边艺术机构的活力汇聚于此，创造出一个充满活力的新型公共空间，兼具多种功能 —— 它既是活动前人们聚集的场所，也是将车辆落客区整合至更东侧的区域，还是一个绿植繁茂的花园，供所有人享受自然之美。

In other areas of the site, smooth circulation flows and arrival sequences allow people to quickly reach their destinations while also providing flexible space for programming. Multiple pathways are established within the plaza, offering barrier-free access from various directions. Tall groves of plantings delineate the entrances, conveying a warm welcome to visitors.
在场地其他区域，流畅的通行流线与抵达区域设计能让人们快速抵达目的地，同时还提供了可用于灵活规划活动的额外空间。广场内设有多条通行路线，从多个方向为人们提供无障碍通道。高耸的种植丛林勾勒出入场口的轮廓，向访客传递出热情的欢迎之意。
