英國劇場技師協(xié)會(Association of British Theatre Technicians，簡稱ABTT，成立于1961年)于1972年制作了第一部劇院設(shè)計和規(guī)劃指南。在1986年修訂后，成為任何涉及劇院建筑、裝修或者創(chuàng)造一個表現(xiàn)空間的標準參考。2010年由該組織出版、朱迪思·斯特朗（Judith Strong）編輯的《劇院建筑設(shè)計指南》（Theatre Buildings:A Design Guide）一書，是其繼承者。

這本書使讀者了解了劇院的規(guī)劃和設(shè)計的全過程。它在建筑物的每一個區(qū)域都有詳細的注解，包括房子前面、禮堂、后臺和行政辦公區(qū)域。它聚焦于一些具體的指導，比如音響、舞臺工程、燈光、聲音和視頻，禮堂和舞臺的尺寸等等。餐飲、會議和教育使用等方面也包括在內(nèi)。書中涵蓋了28座劇院的案例，《歌劇》雜志將編譯其中精彩的個案，與業(yè)界共同分享。

劇院建筑設(shè)計指南之

圓屋劇場

The Roundhouse from Theatre Buildings: A Design Guide

倫敦，英國

London, UK

將19世紀中期建造的、用于終結(jié)伯明翰-倫敦蒸汽機時代的建筑，翻新為一個不可想象的、具有標志性的劇場，這一改造項目預計耗資約2700萬英鎊。這個位于倫敦北部的圓屋劇場，在1960年代首次引起了人們的注意力。這是一個名為“發(fā)現(xiàn)空間”的項目，幾十年來在這個嘗試拯救衰敗建筑的項目中持續(xù)吸引到各類關(guān)注。當籌集到足夠的資金對建筑進行重新開發(fā)，而不是僅僅是繼續(xù)將就使用時，該建筑的未來就得到了保障。

原建筑內(nèi)翻新的結(jié)構(gòu)

The mid-nineteenth-century shed built to turn around steam engines at the end of the Birmingham London run would seem an unlikely candidate for iconic status and a programme of refurbishment and improvements costing some ￡27 million. The Roundhouse, in north London, first grabbed people's imagination in the 1960s, a ‘found space' which continued to attract support through decades of decline and a variety of attempted rescue projects. Its future was secured when sufficient money was raised to redevelop rather than just make do.

圓屋劇場的特別之處在于內(nèi)部空間的規(guī)模和結(jié)構(gòu)，其磚鼓結(jié)構(gòu)形成了一個天然禮堂，能夠容納各種活動——從實驗劇到流行音樂演出。主要挑戰(zhàn)是要設(shè)計一個能夠完全滿足聲學效果要求的屋頂來展示各種不同種類的音樂，同時也不會給細長的鑄鐵屋頂結(jié)構(gòu)增加額外的負荷。解決這個問題的方法是在屋頂上安裝一個新的錐形鋼框架，放置在外墻上沉重的橡膠底座上，既增強了必要的聲學效果，并能承載重達20噸的新技術(shù)工程框架。

What makes the Roundhouse special is the scale and structure of the interior space, its brick drum forming a natural auditorium capable of housing a range of events-from experimental drama to popular music gigs. A major challenge was to devise a roof with sufficient acoustic mass to contain loud music but without imposing additional loads on the slender cast-iron roof structure. The problem was solved by a new conical steel-framed over-roof, resting on rubber mounts on top of the heavy outer brick walls,adding the necessary acoustic mass and supporting the 20-tonne load from the new technical grid.

在壯觀的主空間中，座椅是端點排列、可調(diào)整式的，通過推力和圓形配置，使得它們在需要觀眾站立的活動中可以隨時被撤出。二層的新弧形空間增加了不同的視角，使座位總?cè)萘窟_到1800個（或3300個站立位）。中央的玻璃燈塔也已修復，原來屋頂?shù)牡鯚羰褂昧巳龑佑浴?/p>

In the spectacular Main Space, adaptable seating in end-on, thrust and in-the-round configurations can be removed for standing events. A new circle at second level adds a different perspective and brings the total capacity to 1,800 seated (or 3,300 standing).The central glass lantern has been restored and the original roof lights tripe glazed.

總體來說，結(jié)構(gòu)上的干預被減至最小，以保持原建筑維多利亞時代的宏偉感和早期的工業(yè)美學。新增的設(shè)計旨在與現(xiàn)有建筑相輔相成。為了最大限度地利用主要空間進行表演和活動，在建筑物的一側(cè)增加了一個三層弧形的玻璃翼。那里容納了咖啡廳、酒吧、票房和公共區(qū)域，以及后臺和辦公設(shè)施，還包括一個工作室劇場。

In general, structural interventions were minimised in order to retain both the Victorian sense of grandeur and the early industrial aesthetic. New additions were designed to both complement and contrast with the existing building. In order to maximise the use of the Main Space for performances and events, a threestorey curved and glazed wing was added to one side of the building. It houses a cafe, bars, box office and public areas, as well as backstage and office facilities and included a studio theatre.

圓屋劇場還充當了新角色，與當?shù)啬贻p人合作，開發(fā)青年藝術(shù)家的技能并挖掘其創(chuàng)造潛力。拱形地下室已被改造成一系列工作室空間：排練廳、聲學及錄音室、視頻編輯和創(chuàng)作區(qū)。

Provision is also made for the Roundhouse's new role of working with local young people to develop skills and explore their creative potential. The vaulted Undercroft has been converted into a series of studio spaces: rehearsal rooms, sound and recording studios,video editing and production areas.
