架构师提供的文本描述。Cidade das Artes位于海洋和山脉之间，位于14公里的平原中心，最近开发了里约热内卢新的主要地区：Barra da Tijuca。景观是单调的，没有强烈的城市标志和公共空间。该网站由两条横穿该地区的高速公路构成。在这个十字架的中心，由卢西奥·科斯塔设计，西达德·达斯·阿尔特斯将位于新城的中心。

Text description provided by the architects. The Cidade das Artes is situated between sea and mountain, in the center of fourteen kilometers of plain which saw recently developing the new major district of Rio de Janeiro: Barra da Tijuca. The landscape is monotonous, deprived of strong urban marks and public spaces. The site is structured by two highways that cross the district. In the centre of this cross, designed by Lucio Costa, the Cidade das Artes will be in the very heart of the new city.

这座建筑是一座小城市，坐落在一个10米高的巨大露台上，由费尔南多·查塞尔(Fernando Chacel)设计，可以看到漂浮在山上的山和海、一个公共公园、一个热带和水生花园。

The building is a little city contained in one big structure raised and established on a vast terrace ten meters above ground, from which one will see the mountain and the sea, floating upon, a public park, a tropical and aquatic garden, draw by Fernando Chacel.

这个露台是公共空间，是通往所有设施的聚集地。在那里，Cidade das Artes将聚集许多不同的地方：一个世界独一无二的音乐厅，因为它可以在歌剧室和剧院中转换，一个室内音乐和流行音乐室，一个电影院，舞蹈室，无数排练室，展览空间，餐厅，一个媒体图书馆。

This terrace is the public space; it is the gathering place that gives access to all facilities. There, Cidade das Artes will gather a large variety of places: a concert room, worldwide unique, because convertible in room of opera and in theatre, a room of chamber music and popular music, movie theatres, dance studios, numerous rehearsal rooms, exhibition spaces, restaurants, a media library.

Cidade das Artes被认为是一座大房子，是城市上方的一个大阳台，是对巴西建筑原型的敬意。

The Cidade das Artes is seen as a large house, a great veranda above the city, homage to an archetype of Brazilian architecture.

在屋顶和露台的两个水平板之间，设置着巨大的弯曲混凝土墙，这些墙包含着大量的空间和空隙。该项目是一个公共标志，是大里约地区的一个新地标，是一个城市信号，漂浮在平原上，能见度很高。

Between the two horizontal plates of the roof and the terrace are set the large curved concrete walls that contain the halls in an interplay of volumes and voids. The project is a public symbol, a new landmark in the greater Rio area, an urban signal, floating on the plain with a large visibility.

这座建筑与西拉亚特兰狄加山脉美丽的曲线和海岸线相呼应，对于即将到达塞纳大道的列车旅客来说，这里将成为巴拉达蒂朱卡的前门。

The architecture echoes the beautiful curves of the Siera Atlantica Mountains and the line of the sea.The place will become, for the travellers of the train which will arrive on Ayrton Senna Avenue, the front door in Barra da Tijuca.
