| 摘要： | Just like the actors on its stages within, the exterior of the Perelman Performing Arts Center at lower Manhattan's World Trade Center in New York is a bit of an "actor" itself, showing different facets of its personality to visitors and passersby. By day, it is an elegant and translucent prism wrapped in veined marble and pristine glass, but by night it illuminates from within, evoking curiosity. But whatever time of day it is, the building's simple form conceals an extremely challenging, multifaceted structural engineering puzzle made possible by complex and ingenious solutions. Opened to the public in September, the 129,000 sq ft venue is replete with a grand lobby, bar and cafe, rehearsal spaces, and, most notably, three nimble, reconfigurable performance spaces that redefine multiform theater design. The center's agile and highly adaptable interior is as much a machine as a building or theater. Quickly transforming from an intimate black box venue for fewer than 100 guests to a combined auditorium with a capacity of 1,200, this "theater machine" can accommodate more than, at last count, 60 different performance and seating configurations. |
