架构师提供的文本描述。新的波尔多体育场看起来轻盈开放，如果这个词可以用来形容这么大的建筑的话，它是优雅的。它的纯洁和几何清晰激发了一种不朽和优雅的感觉。人们可能会想把它与一座古典寺庙作比较，但不像寺庙的高架，体育场的大楼梯模糊了内外的界限。无数的柱子站在楼梯上，陪同游客进进出出。楼梯和柱子的融合形成了开放和可接近的姿态。

Text description provided by the architects. The new Bordeaux stadium appears light and open; it is elegant, if such a term can be used for a building of this size. Its purity and geometrical clarity inspires a sense of monumentality and gracefulness. One might be tempted to draw a comparison with a classical temple, but unlike the elevated plinth of a temple, the grand stairs of the stadium blur the boundaries between inside and outside. Countless columns standing on the stairs accompany the visitors on their way in and out of the stadium. The fusion of stairs and columns forms a gesture of openness and accessibility.

特别注意将这一结构融入波尔多的宏伟景观。碗状结构和柱的精细几何布局反映了树木和小径在周围景观中所创造的图案。这个体育场是为这个特定的地方而建的-一片开阔、平坦的景观，紧邻波尔多展览中心，沿着湖畔延伸。在描述建筑时，“优雅”已经成了一个被贬低的词，但当人们看到波尔多的城市和建筑遗产时，却错了。我们从来没有在波尔多的历史部分寻找灵感，其惊人的美丽建筑和纪念碑都是由典型的石灰石构成的。在波尔多，我们所认为的优雅，很大程度上是因为它的统一、尺度和物质性的同质性，以及它的精确性和形式的纯洁性。我们不能照搬这一点，但我们肯定从中吸取了教训。

Special attention was paid to the integration of the structure into the grand landscape of Bordeaux. The meticulous geometrical arrangement of bowl structure and columns reflects the pattern created by trees and paths in the surrounding landscape. This stadium is made for this specific place - an open, flat landscape in immediate proximity to the Bordeaux Exhibition Centre stretching along the lakefront. “Elegance" has become a depreciated term when describing architecture, but wrongly so when one looks at Bordeaux' urban and architectural legacy. We were never looking for inspiration in the historical part of Bordeaux with its breathtakingly beautiful buildings and monuments all made out of typical limestone. Much of what we perceive as elegance in Bordeaux results from its unity and homogeneity of scale and materiality and from its precision and purity of form. We could not copy this, but we certainly learned from it.

为42，000人提供一碗

A Bowl for 42'000 people

最多可容纳42，000人，碗包括游戏区域，它的几何结构为所有人提供了最佳的能见度，以及在容量和使用方面的最大灵活性。体育场是多功能的，并设想欢迎一个丰富和多样化的节目：不仅橄榄球和足球比赛，而且还显示，音乐会和企业活动。

Seating a maximum of 42,000 people, the bowl embraces the game area, its geometry affording optimal visibility for all, along with the maximum flexibility in terms of capacity and usage. The stadium is multifunctional and conceived to welcome a rich and diversified program: not only rugby and soccer matches but also shows, concerts, and corporate events.

碗由两个叠加的层次组成，分为四个部分，由屋顶保护，不受元素的影响。在视觉均匀屋顶的底部引导眼睛进入运动场，同时允许阳光穿过。它的结构不显示在体育场内部，以避免分散观众的注意力。

The bowl consists of two superposed tiers divided into four sectors and protected from the elements by the roof. The underside of the visually uniform roof guides the eye onto the playing field while allowing sunlight to pass through. Its structure does not show through on the inside of the stadium, to avoid distracting the spectators’ attention.

在地面以上的碗是一个紧凑的基础，包括所有的规划功能，在一个统一和对称的体积。该平台包括平均分布在东和西的VIP空间，以及与专用于玩家的空间相邻的媒体区域。结构简单和纯粹的线条碗和它的基础，确保流畅的观众流动和易于定位。

Raising the bowl above ground level is a compact base housing all the programmatic functions in a uniform and symmetrical volume. This plinth includes the VIP spaces evenly distributed east and west, and media areas adjacent to the spaces dedicated to players. The architectural simplicity and pure lines of the bowl and its base ensure smooth spectator flows and ease of orientation.

立柱、碗和屋顶

Plinth, Bowl and Roof

碗靠在柱子上，上面盖着一个锋利的长方形屋顶.这种纯粹的、几乎抽象的形式的选择清楚而有效地回应了场地的自然条件和观众从东到西的主要流动。

The bowl rests on a plinth, covered by a sharp-edged rectangular roof. The choice of this pure and almost abstract form responds clearly and efficiently to the site’s natural conditions and to the main flow of spectators from east to west.

这个白色的长方形似乎是向地球投射的，这要归功于众多细长的柱体，它们倾泻下来。一条由食物摊和洗手间组成的丝带在这列柱子林中起伏，人群的移动使它们生机勃勃。这个结构既致密又明亮，创造了一个瞬间消失的长方形体积，使碗的雕塑和有机轮廓凸现出来。

This white rectangle seems projected earthwards thanks to the multiplicity of slender columns that shower down. A ribbon of food stalls and restrooms undulates through this forest of columns, brought alive by the movement of the crowd. At once dense and light, this structure creates an evanescent rectangular volume from which the sculpted and organic outline of the bowl emerges.

这种建筑理念为新波尔多体育场提供了一个特定的特征。透明的音量打开了周围的景观，而宏伟的楼梯表达了每个人的开放性和可达性。它的透明度揭示了所有的精力和活动，将把这块土地变成一个新的，充满活力的波尔多部分。

This architectural concept gives a specific identity to the new Bordeaux stadium. The diaphanous volume opens up to the surrounding landscape while the grand stairs express openness and accessibility for everyone. Its transparency reveals all the energy and activities that will transform this piece of land into a new and vibrant part of Bordeaux.
