架构师提供的文本描述。位于格罗宁根中心附近的Infoversum是不可忽视的。这是一座让人好奇的建筑，需要探索。从来没有这么多的不同领域的专业知识，目标和技术成功地结合在一个设计中。

Text description provided by the architects. Conveniently located near the centre of Groningen, the Infoversum cannot be overlooked. It is a building that makes one curious and that needs to be explored. Never before have so many different fields of expertise, goals and techniques successfully been combined in one design.

格罗宁根大学天文学信息技术教授Edwin Valentijn被要求让公众更容易获得科学。他开创了我们现在所知道的Infoversum。为科学、商业和文化活动提供家园的建筑。这是一个独特的地方，在这里，我们可以分享有关我们周围环境的信息，并为更可持续的环境进行创新。

Edwin Valentijn, Professor in Astronomical Information Technology at the University of Groningen, was asked to make science more accessible for the general public. He initiated what we now know as the Infoversum. A building that gives science, business and cultural activities alike a home. It is an unique place where sharing information about our surroundings and innovations for a more sustainable environment is stimulated.

建筑咨询公司Archiview的建筑师杰克·范德帕伦(JackvanderPalen)很早就发现了他的灵感，他使用了造船行业通常使用的技术，并寻找合适的回收材料。在他发人深省的设计中，他把Infoversum背后的哲学想象成了一种喘息的方式。

Jack van der Palen, Architect at architectural consultancyArchiview, found his inspiration early on by using techniques normally used in the ship-building industry and by searching for appropriate recycled materials. With his thought provoking design he visualised the philosophy behind the Infoversum in a breath taking way.

建筑师范德帕伦和中央工业集团，都位于格罗宁根，花了很长时间研究不同的方式，将建筑材料的具体质量纳入创新的三维概念当代建筑使用造船技术。他们发现可行的东西开辟了一个全新的设计可能性世界。

Architect Van der Palen and the Central Industry Group, both located in Groningen, spent a long time investigating different ways to incorporate the specific quality of building materials into innovative 3D concepts for contemporary buildings by using ship-building techniques. What they discovered to be feasible opens up a whole new world of design possibilities.

创新建筑

Innovative architecture

Infoversum是本地项目的一部分，该项目鼓励参与者探索临时建筑甚至移动架构的潜力。尽管Infoversum是作为临时建筑设计的，但它很可能比这个项目更有生命力。

The Infoversum is part of a local project that encourages its participants to explore the potential of a temporary building or even mobile architectural constructions. Even though it is designed as a temporary building, the Infoversum will most likely outlive this project.

以这样一种有趣的方式使用建筑物的自给能力和设计中所用材料的独特品质在建筑业中还不是很普遍。但是有了Infoversum Van der Palen和Central Industry Group证明，关于形式和功能的创新想法现在可以成为现实。

Using the self-supporting capacity of a building and the unique qualities of the materials used in the design in such a playful way is not yet common in the construction industry. But with the Infoversum Van der Palen and the Central Industry Group prove that innovative ideas about form and function now can become a reality.

这种单一的设计方法使他们能够在不受开放的氛围或其有机形态干扰的情况下进行设计。用来塑造建筑物外部的软线也可以在里面重新审视。他们对大楼的路由、通道和Infoversum背后的哲学的特别关注，导致了一个创新和令人兴奋的最终结果。

The monocoque method allowed them to construct a design without interruptions of the open atmosphere or its organic shape. The soft lines used to shape the outside of the building can also be revisited inside. Their special attention to the routing through the building, the passageways and the philosophy behind the Infoversum, led to an innovative and exciting end result.

这是一次经历

It’s an experience

参观Infoversum不仅仅是一个晚上的进城之旅。游客被引导进行一次特殊的旅行。一次穿越宇宙的旅程，通过Infoversum本身的非凡建筑，以及他们自己的想象力。每一个房间的建筑惊喜，挑战和贡献的整体经验。

A visit to the Infoversum is more than just a night on the town. Visitors are guided along on a special journey. A journey through the universe, through the extraordinary architecture of the Infoversum itself and through their own imagination. Every room in the building surprises, challenges and contributes to the overall experience.

穿过建筑物的路线遵循有机的设计，使游客接触到不断变化的光线与周围环境的交互方式。进入令人印象深刻的玻璃主入口后，游客发现自己在英福威。Infowave是一个具有视觉刺激性的数字演示的交互区域。这个预告室位于穹顶。当然，穹顶是建筑的核心，它吸引了所有的注意力。在穹顶和大厅里，人们仍然可以看到正在使用的特殊建筑技术和外层的实际形状。

The routing through the building follows the organic design and exposes the visitor to the ever changing way the light interacts with its surroundings. After entering through the impressive glass main entrance, visitors find themselves in the Infowave. The Infowave is an interactive area with visually stimulating digital presentations. This pre-show room is located in the dome. The dome of course is the heart of the building, and draws all the attention to itself. In the dome and in the lobby can one still see the special construction techniques being used and the actual shape of the outer layers.

这种灵活的设计让游客很自然地来到了穹顶，在那里，座椅可以向后倾斜，以获得三维投影的良好视图。当一些游客欣赏20米大屏幕上的电影时，另一些人可能对流过穹顶的自然光感到敬畏，并不断地将大厅置于不同的光线中。

The flexible design therefor leads visitors quite naturally to the dome, where the seats can tilt back to get a good view of the 3D projections. While some visitors enjoy the films on the 20 meters big screen, others may be in awe by the natural light that flows over the dome and constantly sets the lobby in a different light.

户外平台，Inforoof，使参观者成为一个普遍的展览的一部分。虽然人们也可以看到穹顶外面的投影，但除了建筑物的动态和格罗宁根上空的天空之外，无法看到这些数字图像。

The outdoor platform, the Inforoof, makes the visitor part of a universal show. While one can also see projections on the outside of the dome, those digital images cannot been seen apart from the dynamics of the building and the skies above Groningen.

这83个球状钢板形成外层，每个形状不同，只焊接在施工现场。外皮和内部的结构一起构成一个连贯的整体，与划痕直接焊接在外层。

The 83 corten steel plates form the outer skin, each a different shape and only welded together on the construction site. The outer skin and the construction of the inside together form a coherent whole, with rafters welded directly onto the outer layer.

随着时间的推移，钢板会得到一个美丽的生锈层，以保护下面的材料不受元素的影响，同时也日益改变建筑的外观。为了使它更加突出，穹顶被涂成白色，这使它的艺术外观展示了令人印象深刻的荷兰天空。

In time the steel plates will get a beautiful rusty layer, to protect the material underneath from the elements, meanwhile changing the appearance of the building day by day. To make it stand out more, the dome is coated white, which gives it an artistic appearance showcasing the impressive Dutch skies.

为了不干扰“眼睛”或“不明飞行物”的独特和活生生的设计，人们已经称其为Infoversum，排水、应急门和电缆等部件都隐藏在皮肤中。例如，窗户放在钢板上创造性地放置的穿孔后面。这些穿孔和流过天窗的光线，在外部皮肤和从未接触过对方的穹顶之间发现，在建筑内部创造了一个精彩的灯光秀。

In order not to disturb the unique and living design of ‘the eye’ or ‘the UFO’, as people already call the Infoversum, components such as drainage, emergency doors and cables are hidden in the skin itself. The windows for example, are placed behind the creatively placed perforations in the steel plates. These perforations and the light that flows through the skylights, found between the outer skin and the dome who never touch each other, create a wonderful lightshow inside the building.
