架构师提供的文本描述。艺术中心将在拥有17，000人口的Akureyri形成一个社会核心。这座建筑位于峡湾两岸，是市中心广场和人行横道的自然部分。它作为社会关键的意义，部分反映在建筑物的圆形上，一部分体现在穿过建筑物的公共步行街上。

Text description provided by the architects. The arts centre will form a social linchpin in Akureyri, which has a population of 17,000. The building, which is located on the banks of the fjord, forms a natural part of the town's central squares and pedestrian thoroughfares. Its significance as a social linchpin is reflected partly in the building's circular form, and partly in the public pedestrian street which cuts through the building.

艺术中心是以冰岛的性质为基础的：从外部看，建筑上覆盖着一种特殊种类的冰岛花岗岩棒和铁条，名为斯塔拉贝尔(Studlaberg)。坚固的立面呈现出一种有机的节奏，高窄的窗户根据不同功能的日光需求而定位。这座建筑的内部也让人联想起大自然；在这里，室内的步行街让人想起岩石墙之间的一条沟壑。岩石墙的开口提供了文化功能的入口：一个可容纳600名观众的音乐厅、一个多用途大厅和一个雕塑庭院。

The arts centre is anchored in Icelandic nature: externally, the building is clad with rods and bars of a special variety of Icelandic granite called Studlaberg. The robust facade presents an organic rhythm, with high narrow windows positioned according to the daylight needs of the various functions. The building's interior also recalls nature; here, the interior pedestrian street is reminiscent of a ravine between rock walls. Openings in the rock walls provide access to the cultural functions: a concert hall with room for 600 spectators, a multi-purpose hall, and a sculpture courtyard.

在艺术中心开放时间外，公众也可以进入“峡谷”，在那里人们可以参观位于峡谷中心的咖啡厅，欣赏峡湾的壮丽景色。靠近峡湾的艺术中心的位置意味着它将是许多游轮游客参观该镇的第一座建筑。预计与接待游轮游客有关的职能也将纳入艺术中心。艺术中心是将设在冰岛战略地点的三个新的艺术中心项目之一：一个由冰岛教育、科学和文化部发起的项目。

 There is also public access to "the ravine" outside the opening hours of the arts centre, when people can visit the café which lies in the centre of the ravine and enjoy the magnificent view across the fjord. The location of the arts centre alongside the fjord means that it will be the first building seen by many of the cruise ship tourists visiting the town. It is intended that functions associated with the reception of cruise ship tourists will also be integrated into the arts centre. The arts centre is one of three new projects for arts centres to be placed at strategic locations in Iceland: a project initiated by the Icelandic Ministry of Education, Science and Culture.
