架构师提供的文本描述。这座新的音乐和通讯大楼位于美国西北大学的Pick-Staiger音乐厅和Regenstein音乐厅的南面，位于Evanston校园的东南边缘。这座建筑坐落在密西根湖和一个新的艺术绿地前的一个主要地段上，被设想为一个标志性的设施。这座建筑被设计成与雷根斯坦音乐厅相连接，使音乐学院首次巩固了它的项目。

Text description provided by the architects. The new music and communication building is located just south of Northwestern University's Pick-Staiger Concert Hall and Regenstein Hall of Music, on the southeastern edge of the Evanston campus. Sited on a prime parcel fronting Lake Michigan and a new arts green, the building is envisioned as a signature facility. Designed to wrap and connect with Regenstein Hall, the building enables the School of Music to consolidate its programs for the first time ever.

建筑质量的动态Z形图定义了艺术绿色的东部边缘，然后慢跑到湖的西边。一个大的中庭划分了这种形式，提供了主要入口和聚集空间，并提供清晰的湖景。针对LEED黄金的现状，该建筑提供了各种创新功能，包括双皮肤正面和灰色水系统。所有的空间都满足了巨大的声学要求，包括歌剧排练室和合唱独奏会。

The dynamic, Z-shaped plan of the building mass defines the eastern edge of the arts green then jogs to the western edge of the lake. A large atrium divides this form, providing the main entry and gathering space and offering clear views of the lake. Targeted for LEED Gold status, the building offers a variety of innovative features including a double-skin facade and grey water system. All spaces met enormous acoustical requirements, including the opera rehearsal room and choral recital.

 First Floor Plan

一层平面图

独奏厅是这座建筑的皇冠瑰宝。空间以40英尺高的玻璃墙为特色，将表演者置于密歇根湖和芝加哥天际线的戏剧性背景下。细节需要考虑42英尺x40英寸玻璃墙的整体声学挑战，以及演奏厅内由此产生的声学反射。玻璃墙的垂直支撑从上面悬挂，并通过使用锚定在独奏厅大体积混凝土侧壁上的高度张拉水平拉索来实现其长细。

The recital hall is the building’s crown jewel. Featuring a 40-foot-high glass wall, the space sets performers against a dramatic backdrop of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline.The detail needed to consider the overall acoustical challenges of a monumental 42’ x 40‘ glass wall and the resultant acoustical reflections within the recital hall.  The vertical supports of the glass wall are hung from above and achieve their slenderness by using highly tensioned horizontal cables that are anchored to the recital hall’s massive concrete side walls.

 Recital Hall Section

演奏厅部分

太阳能/停电阴影隐藏在天花板上方，包含在可接近的腔体内，这样就不会干扰大厅的声学。内墙向内倾斜，以防止观众听到回声。在演出期间，演奏厅内可以使用声学横幅对音响进行微调。独奏厅的水平编织木带板的设计是为了吸收玻璃墙的声音反射，使整个房间能够和谐地工作，在不牺牲声学性能的情况下创造独特的视觉机会。

Solar/blackout shades are hidden above the ceiling, contained within the accessible cavity so that they don’t interfere with the acoustics of the hall.  The inner glass wall is tilted inward to prevent an echo from being heard by the audience.  Acoustical banners can be employed inside the recital hall to fine tune the acoustics during a performance. The horizontal weaving wood ribbon panels of the recital hall were designed to absorb the sound reflections from the glass wall so that the entire room could work in harmony to create a unique vision opportunity without sacrificing acoustical performance.
