架构师提供的文本描述。天津乐苑商业综合楼不仅仅是一个建筑设计，更是一个居住的地方。一个自然与文化、时尚与娱乐、社会互动与沉思和谐相处的地方。这一概念的核心是相信，商业综合体应该开放，拥抱文化活动和自然设施，与连接人民大厦和钟华歌剧院的大步行街的人流融为一体。

Text description provided by the architects. More than a building design, the Tianjin Le Yuan Commercial Complex is a place for living. A place where nature and culture, fashion and entertainment, social interaction and contemplation are in harmony. The core of this concept is the belief that the commercial complex should open out to embrace the cultural activities and the natural amenities with the pedestrian flow of the grand promenade linking the Peoples Building and the Zhong Hua Opera House.

The complex opens out to the cultural activities and pedestrian flow of the grand promenade linking the grand Theater and Opera House to the east and the museums, art gallery and library to the south. The central lake extends into the retail site as the water feature flows down a dramatic waterfall and into the below grade retail.

沿着一个柔和的弧线排列，建筑群的焦点是一座由特色餐厅组成的水晶建筑。这座多面玻璃建筑是商业建筑群的雕塑偶像，为湖对面的建筑创造了一个互补的建筑边缘，同时保持了歌剧院的视觉突出和重要性。

Arranged along a gentle arc, the complex’s focal point is a crystalline building of feature restaurants.  This faceted glass building is the sculptural icon of the Commercial Complex, creating a complementary building edge for the buildings across the lake while maintaining the visual prominence and importance of the Opera House.
