架构师提供的文本描述。由格拉茨建筑师沃尔克·詹克设计的琥珀音乐厅已于11月7日在拉脱维亚利帕亚举行落成典礼。这一多阶段项目的第一阶段，也是最重要的阶段，规划了一个文化城市区的建设，现在已经完成。2003年，伏尔克·詹克(VolkerGiencke)赢得了波罗的海这个传统海港新文化中心的国际建筑竞赛。建筑工程于2013年开始。

Text description provided by the architects. Designed by Graz architect Volker Giencke, the Great Amber Concert Hall has been inaugurated on 7 November in Liepaja, Latvia. The first – and most momentous – phase of this multistage project envisioning the construction of a cultural urban district is thus completed. In 2003, Volker Giencke won the international architectural competition for a new cultural centre in this traditional seaport on the Baltic Sea. The construction work started in 2013.

“大琥珀”是一个整体，锥形，轻微扭曲的结构与透明，琥珀色的外观。这个立面包住了围绕着建筑物最重要的建筑元素-为1000多名游客提供座位的大音乐厅-的混凝土结构不规则折叠的工作。礼堂本身被利帕加交响乐团的房间和音乐学校的教学和排练室所包围，从而形成了一个良好的空间组合，以促进艺术家、学生和教师之间的交流。在音乐厅下面增设一个会议厅，一个芭蕾舞团演播室和一个带门厅的实验台，酒吧

“Great Amber” is a monolithic, cone-shaped, slightly contorted structure with a transparent, amber- coloured façade. This façade envelops the irregular folded work of the concrete structure built around the building’s most important architectural element: the grand Concert Hall providing seating for more than 1,000 visitors. The hall itself is surrounded by the rooms of the Liepaja Symphony Orchestra and the Music School’s instruction and rehearsal rooms, thus producing a favourable blend of space to foster communication between artists, students and teachers. An additional Chamber Hall situated beneath the Concert Hall as well as a Ballet Studio and an Experimental Stage with a foyer, Bar & Music Club on the fifth floor complete the spatial concept.

音乐厅也可以通过提升管弦乐坑和摊位来适应大会、展览和招待会。此外，“Civita Nova”还为多功能活动提供了额外的2，000平方米的空间，从而充分响应了建筑师关于“大琥珀”作为满足利帕贾人可自由进入的各种目的场所的想法。

The Concert Hall can also be adapted for congresses, exhibitions and receptions by elevating the orchestra pit and the stalls. Moreover, “Civita Nova” offers an additional 2,000 m2 of space for multifunctional events, thus fully responding to the architect’s idea of “Great Amber” as a venue catering for all kinds of purposes that is freely accessible to the people of Liepaja.

 Floor Plan

Volker Giencke还与Karlheinz Müller/Müller-BBM，慕尼黑一起开发了声学概念；他们以椭圆形、梯田式葡萄园的原理为基础，取得了优异的效果。在高高的屋顶上，14个镜面制成的反光管充满了日光，营造了一种独特的氛围。

Volker Giencke also developed the acoustics concept together with Karlheinz Müller / Müller-BBM, Munich; they achieved excellent results, with acoustics based on the principle of an oval, terraced vineyard. Reaching high above the roof, fourteen mirror-finished reflective tubes flood the Concert Hall with daylight, creating a unique atmosphere inside.

光在“大琥珀”的外观上也扮演着关键的角色。依附在一个精致的交织钢结构，其琥珀色的玻璃沐浴在软温暖的光的内部区域。晚上，建筑变成了一个透明的发光元素，从外部可以看到它的内部和许多不同的功能。白天，建筑物的外部玻璃在不同的周围颜色和阴影中发光，提供了真正令人叹为观止的印象。在建筑和内容上都很有说服力，这种象征性的效果强调了“大琥珀”与城市的联系。这是现代利帕贾的一个新的里程碑。

Light plays a key role at the façade of “Great Amber”, too. Attached to a delicately interwoven steel construction, its amber-coloured glazing bathes the inside area in soft warm light. At night, the building turns into a transparent luminous element, making its interior and many different functions visible from the outside. During the day, the building’s external glazing glows in varying surrounding colours and shades, offering truly stunning impressions. Convincing in terms of both architecture and content, this symbolic effect emphasises “Great Amber’s” connection to the city. It is a new landmark of modern Liepaja.
