| 摘要： | The Kirkwood Performing Arts Center (KPAC) is a state-of-the-art facility Located in downtown Kirkwood, Mo. Serving as an anchor for the arts and entertainment district, KPAC has a 525-seat auditorium, a 200-seat studio theater, and a multipurpose event space. The iconic structure is primarily constructed of precast concrete. "We want the building to be very recognizable and memorable for the community," says Kyle Nottmeier, AIA, senior architect, Jacobs. The project team selected precast concrete because of the advantages it offered in terms of cost, acoustical performance, speed of construction, and aesthetics. Inspired by local architecture, the precast concrete panels are designed to emulate the warmth and depth of limestone. This aesthetic was achieved with a white-cement-based concrete mixture design, a custom reveal pattern, and different levels of sandblasting. The aesthetically pleasing balance of form and material composition is appreciable from all angles of the building, especially when illuminated in the evenings with dramatic, recessed lighting. |
