架构师提供的文本描述。2008年，德·兹瓦特·汉德赢得了阿森多功能文化建筑的设计竞赛。这座位于历史城市边缘的遗址通过设计进行了改造。

Text description provided by the architects. In 2008 De Zwarte Hond won the design competition for a multifunctional culture building in Assen. The site, at the edge of the historical city has been transformed via a design & build construction into a big complex with functions such as a theater, cinema, library, cafés, restaurants and apartments.

这座新的文化建筑群是一座由荷兰砖瓦、钢铁和玻璃组成的具有里程碑意义的传统建筑。因此，它符合阿森的背景，那里有丰富的老宅邸、堡垒和教堂。这座建筑的大入口坐落在一个新的剧院广场旁，在参观了文化建筑群之后，这是一个活泼宜人的饮酒之地。

The new cultural complex is a monumental and traditional building made of Dutch brickwork, steel and glass. It therefore fits into the context of Assen which is rich of old mansions, fortresses and churches. The grand entrance of the building is situated next to a new theatre square, which is a lively and pleasant place to stay for a drink after having visited the cultural complex.

一堵历史石墙和一个巨大的楼梯把广场直接连接到建筑物的入口处。广场形成一个大门，通往一个大的大厅/门厅，从那里可以参观不同的场所。这是一个可以看到和被看到的地方。

A historical stone wall and a staircase of monumental size connects the square directly to the entrance of the building. The square forms a gate to a large lobby/foyer from where different venues can be visited. It’s the place to see and be seen.

广场和大厅延续了丰富的街道、小巷、广场和花园的传统，并将文化项目与阿森的城市结构联系起来。

The square and the lobby continue the tradition of a rich sequence of streets, alleys, squares and gardens and connects the cultural program with the urban fabric of Assen.
