The Forum Sport and Community Center

Forum体育和社区中心

本项目坐落于私人住宅、住宅区和小型工业用地相融合的环境之中。在靠近市中心的这个城市结构中，大面积的用地让我们能够带来一些慷慨大方而又灵活的东西。

这栋建筑由两大主要空间组成：一个多功能厅和一个大型体育场馆兼礼堂。实际上，每一个场馆都可以用于举办各种活动：多功能厅可以举行会议、舞台表演或宴会，而大礼堂在常规举行体育活动的同时，可以变成一个可容纳2000人的音乐厅，或者是用于举办展览。

鉴于这些用途，我们构思了一个完全模块化的单层项目，支护空间围绕两大部分进行有效部署。利用紧凑布局，这些空间环绕高大的主要空间，隐蔽性增强，给人留下主要空间融入其中的印象。

整个占用空间分为12个独特的部分，各个部分的高度向构造的中心逐渐增加。在西侧，通过正门门厅可同时进入多功能厅和大礼堂；在东侧，通过更衣室可直接进入举办体育活动的场馆，而在北侧，可以通过各个区域进入存储空间。

这12个部分每一个都有一个双坡屋顶。这种屋顶的设计受到周围环境屋顶线的启发，但是在这里，采用这种屋顶，让项目好似浮雕一般，犹如起褶花边，其目的在于隐藏屋顶上的各种设备。

这些部分全部被一个统一的金属框架所包覆，赋予建筑一种既强大又细腻的品质；大穿孔金属板连接在一起，围绕外墙和屋顶形成一个几乎完全连续的框架。颜色也从周围的环境中获得灵感：见于砖墙、工业瓷砖和常见的局部粉刷的暖色调。我们希望能够以复杂和多样的形式重新审视。金属板上铺以透明的铜色清漆，金属色泽随光线和环境的变化从橙黄色变为淡橙红色。

在建筑的内部，这种闪烁的调色板以多种形式得以延续：门厅内有一个多孔金属板样式的接待吧台，上部有一个非常光亮的顶盖，让光线透过，投射在房间周围，以及所有广告牌、多功能厅和大礼堂内的大型隔音板上，最后是投射到选定的地板和墙壁上。

This project takes its place in a mixed environment of private houses, housing estates and small industrial sites. Within this urban fabric close to the town centre, the huge site enabled us to provide something that is generous and fl exible.

The building comprises two principal spaces, a functions room and a large sports hallcum-auditorium. In reality, each of these two rooms can be used for a wide variety of events: the functions room can host conferences, theatrical productions or banquets,and the large hall, while it is in regular use for sports activities, can be transformed into a concert hall with a capacity of up to 2,000, or used for exhibitions.

In the light of this range of use, we conceived a project that was entirely modular and on one level, with the support spaces distributed effciently around the two principal volumes. On a smaller scale, these give the impression of absorbing the considerably taller main spaces, which they surround and make less visible.

The overall footprint is broken down into 12 distinct volumes, whose heights increase progressively towards the centre of the composition. On the west side, the large entrance hall gives access to both the functions room and the large hall; to the east,the changing rooms have direct access into the hall for its sports activities, while on the north side, storage spaces are accessible from all areas.

Each of these 12 volumes has a double-pitch roof. Inspiration for this comes from the surrounding roof l ines, but here it is used in a way that gives a sculptural feel to the project, as if pleated, in order to conceal the services within the roof.

The ensemble of these volumes is clad in a unifying metallic envelope, giving the building a character that is at once both powerful and delicate; large perforated metal sheets are joined to form an almost entirely continuous envelope around facades and roofs. The colour also takes its inspiration from the surroundings: a warm tone found in the brick walls, industrial tiles and, often, local render, which we wanted to revisit with sophistication and variety. The panels of sheet metal are covered in a transparent, copper-tinted varnish, whose metallic colour varies from bright orange to pale salmon-pink according to light levels and conditions.

Inside the building, this shimmering palette is continued in many forms: in the entrance hall a perforated sheet metal reception bar with great light canopy above that fi lters and projects light around the room, as well as in all the signage, the large acoustic panels in the two halls and, fi nally, on selected fl oors and walls.
