架构师提供的文本描述。位于扎克的新的Topfer剧院是奥斯汀和得克萨斯州中部的地区剧院，于2012年秋季完工。安德森-智者建筑师设计了这座建筑及其周围的室外空间，以在城市背景下为扎克定义一个戏剧性的、标志性的形象，并创建一个表演艺术园区，将其战略选址设在雷德·伯德湖(LadyBirdLake)。剧院的舞台飞阁楼，其优雅的，垂直的比例，可见在奥斯汀市中心，无论是从拉马尔街桥汽车，或从普弗杰桥步行。一座大型的雨水花园-充满了本土的植物，被人行道分割开来-形成了建筑的前景，其透明的低体积。坐落在田园诗般的本土景观中的塔楼和聚集空间，是新扎克校园的第一印象；象征着奥斯汀对环境的敏感性、形象和体验，将为这座美丽的景点及其与奥斯汀最突出的公园的关系而庆祝。

Text description provided by the architects. The new Topfer Theatre at ZACH, the regional theater for Austin and Central Texas, was completed in the fall of 2012. Andersson-Wise Architects designed the building and its surrounding outdoor spaces to define a dramatic, iconic image for ZACH within the context of the city, as well as to create a performing arts campus that engages its strategic site on Lady Bird Lake. The theater’s stage fly loft, with its elegant, vertical proportion, is visible from downtown Austin, whether one is approaching from the Lamar Street Bridge by car, or from the Pfluger Bridge on foot. A large rain garden-filled with native planting and bisected by pedestrian paths - forms the foreground of the building, with its transparent lower volume. The tower and gathering space, set within an idyllic native landscape, is the first impression of the new ZACH campus; emblematic of Austin’s environmental sensitivity, the image and experience will celebrate the beautiful site and its relationship to Austin’s most prominent park.

现代和光滑的结构是由金属涂层铝板，渠道玻璃建筑窗帘和混凝土精致的调色板。亲密，陡峭的427座位礼堂特色70英尺飞塔，怀孕的推力和被困的舞台与管弦乐队坑，可移动的声学墙板和地板分布式置换通风。礼堂和大厅的空间都是用上蜡的硬木板隔开的。在大堂空间，面板过渡到发光，白色灰泥在第二层大厅空间。

The contemporary and sleek structure is crafted from a refined palette of metallic-coated aluminum panels, channel glass architectural curtains, and concrete.  The intimate, steeply raked 427-seat auditorium features a 70-foot fly tower,  pregnant thrust and trapped stage with orchestra pit, movable acoustical wall panels and floor distributed displacement ventilation. The auditorium and lobby spaces are lined in waxed hardboard paneling. In the lobby spaces, the paneling transitions to luminous, white plaster on the second-level lobby space.

实现LEED-银认证的可持续性举措包括高性能外壳和暖通空调设计，并结合战略设计要素，在需要时优化自然光，并将热增益降至最低。整个建筑模型显示，比基线代码兼容模型节省了15%以上的能源。此外，雨水花园处理和过滤现场的雨水径流，最大限度地发挥生态价值的同时，保持公园般的设置，并建立一种新的建筑和现场之间的联系感。扎克的Topfer剧院参加了LEED NC2.2，并计划获得银牌。

Sustainability initiatives to achieve LEED-Silver certification include high-performance envelope and HVAC design combined with strategic design elements that optimize natural light where needed and minimize heat gain. Whole building modeling indicates a more than 15 percent energy savings above the baseline code compliant model. Further, the rain garden processes and filters on-site storm water runoff, maximizing the ecological value while preserving a park-like setting and establishing a sense of connection between the new building and the site. The Topfer Theatre at ZACH participated in LEED NC2.2 and is slated to receive silver certification.
