架构师提供的文本描述。自1974年成立以来，乐团厅在明尼阿波利斯的文化和公民生活中发挥了生机勃勃的作用。HardyHolzmanPfeiffer最初的设计集中在礼堂的体验上；大厅空间被认为是临时的，15年后将被替换。但是，39年后才开始翻修和扩建项目，主要重点是改善音乐会观众的经验，并重振乐团大厅与明尼阿波利斯市的关系。一个更广泛的目标是促进两个城市文化社区内南部市区的转变。调和旧与新。

Text description provided by the architects. Since its opening in 1974, Orchestra Hall has played a vibrant role in the cultural and civic life of Minneapolis. The original design by Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer focused on the auditorium experience; the lobby spaces were considered temporary and were to be replaced after 15 years. But it was 39 years before the renovation and expansion project was undertaken, with primary focus on improving the experience for concert-goers and revitalizing the relationship of Orchestra Hall to the City of Minneapolis. A broader objective was to contribute to the transformation of the southern downtown district within the Twin Cities’ cultural community. Harmonizing Old and New.

该项目的首要任务是保留音乐会礼堂作为1974年最初设计的标志性元素，同时重新规划大厅和休憩区。由石头和玻璃建造的这些附加物的建筑，再次证明了交响乐团大厅作为尼科莱特购物中心的南锚的存在。它旨在对Peavey广场内的大厅给予新的重视，并使该大厅重新融入其城市环境。该设计将一个轻盈、透明、长方形的“包装纸”与大厅现有的、独特角度的、砖砌的鞋盒礼堂并列起来。在大楼的第11街和Peavey广场两侧，扩建区保持了对红砖墙和礼堂圆角的看法，突出了它在新组合中的突出地位。

A top priority of the project was to preserve the concert auditorium as the iconic element of the original 1974 design while re-envisioning lobby and amenity areas. The architecture of the additions, constructed of stone and glass, reasserts the presence of Orchestra Hall as the southern anchor of Nicollet Mall. It is designed to give new emphasis to the Hall within Peavey Plaza and to re-engage the Hall with its urban context. The design juxtaposes a light, transparent, rectangular “wrapper” against the Hall’s existing, distinctively angled, brick shoebox auditorium. On both the 11th Street and Peavey Plaza sides of the building, the expansion maintains the views to the red brick walls and the rounded corners of the auditorium, underscoring its prominence within the new ensemble.

清新的当代开放美学作为对原有礼堂的对立面，同时也承认明尼阿波利斯市的现代主义建筑和公共空间的遗产，这些建筑和公共空间是由一些20世纪最著名的建筑师设计的。扩展引入了一个周边城市调色板的外部材料，包括阿拉巴马银影石灰石面板，磨光的上层，和梅萨比黑色磨光花岗岩的基础。城市参与-新的大厅建筑的透明度，有从地板到天花板的玻璃墙，展示里面的活动，捕捉到明尼阿波利斯天际线的戏剧性景色，并为社区注入新的能量。第11街的收银台已经向西转移，使街景重新焕发活力，成为一条绿树成荫的林荫道，有一条规模庞大的人行道，连接着马奎特大道和尼科莱购物中心，管弦乐团大厅与城市建筑相连。其效果是加强明尼阿波利斯作为一个可步行城市的国际形象和作为一个开放和欢迎的目的地大厅的形象。

The crisp contemporary open aesthetic of the new acts as a counterpoint to the original auditorium while acknowledging the legacy of Minneapolis’ modernist downtown buildings and public spaces, designed by some of the 20th century’s most prominent architects. The expansion introduces a contextual urban palette of exterior materials including Alabama Silver Shadow limestone panels with a honed finish for the upper levels, and Mesabi Black honed granite at the base. Urban Engagement The transparency of the new lobby architecture, with floor-to-ceiling glass walls, showcases the activity within, captures dramatic views of the Minneapolis skyline and infuses new energy into the neighborhood. The 11th Street drop-off has been shifted to the west, revitalizing the streetscape as a tree-lined avenue with a generously-scaled sidewalk that connects Marquette Avenue to Nicollet Mall, and Orchestra Hall to the urban fabric. The effect is to reinforce the international profile of Minneapolis as a walkable city and that of the Hall as an open and welcoming destination.

乐团大厅的新入口处承认明尼阿波利斯乐团近几十年来的增长和交通模式的相应变化，这导致了公众在街道和空中两层进入交响乐团大厅的方式发生了变化。西侧新的主入口名为纳尔逊入口，标志是一个宽阔的檐篷，使大厅在尼科莱购物中心上有一个更大胆、更受欢迎的形象。马奎特大道上的二级街道入口欢迎那些从东部到达的人，包括乘坐公共交通的人。通过天道(目前大厅最受欢迎的入口)到达的顾客可以选择一台新的、位置方便的自动扶梯到达主楼层。连接城市内外。

The new entrances to Orchestra Hall acknowledge Minneapolis’ growth over recent decades and corresponding changes in traffic patterns, which led to changes in the way the public approaches Orchestra Hall at both street and skyway levels. The new principal entrance on the west side, named the Nelson Entrance, is marked by a wide canopy that gives the Hall a bolder, more welcoming image on Nicollet Mall. A secondary street-level entrance on Marquette Avenue welcomes those arriving from the east, including those using public transit. Patrons arriving via the skyway, currently the Hall’s most popular entrance, have the choice of a new, conveniently located escalator to reach the main floor. Connecting with the City, Inside and Out.

大厅向西扩张，最终形成了一间新的玻璃和石室，名为“目标中庭”(Target Atrium)。这个吸引人的多用途场地包括壁炉、大玻璃墙、滑动玻璃门和室外露台、嘉吉公寓楼，使乐团厅更显着地进入Peavey广场。

The expansion of the lobby to the west culminates in a new glass and stone room, to be known as Target Atrium. This inviting multipurpose venue features a fireplace, large glass walls, sliding glass doors and an outdoor terrace, the Cargill Commons, bringing Orchestra Hall more prominently into Peavey Plaza.
