架构师提供的文本描述。瓦格纳·诺埃尔表演艺术中心是西德克萨斯州二叠纪盆地地区的表演艺术设施。在二叠纪盆地得克萨斯大学的卫星校园里，距离米德兰和敖德萨的城市等距，这个109，000平方英尺的中心是大学和两个社区合作的结果。

Text description provided by the architects. The Wagner Noël Performing Arts Center is a performing arts facility for the West Texas Permian Basin region. Equidistant from the cities of Midland and Odessa on a satellite campus of University of Texas of the Permian Basin, the 109,000-­‐square foot center is the result of a partnership between the University and both communities.

建筑设计植根于得克萨斯州西部的景观，灵感来自于其地质地层、空旷的沙漠景观和无边无际的天空。从下垫层，在一系列折叠的平面和堆叠形式，该建筑似乎出现。主要体积是由当地粗糙的石灰石块覆盖，来源于附近的一个采石场。由于地质压缩的性质和重量，块状图案在接近地面时会收紧和缩小。映照着广阔的德克萨斯州的天空，更高的建筑形式被不锈钢面板所覆盖。白天与周围环境交融在一起，这座建筑在夜间是一座发光的灯塔，可见数英里。

The architectural design is rooted in the landscape of West Texas, inspired by its geologic strata, spare desert landscape, and endless skies. From the underlying strata, in a series of folded planes and stacked forms, the building appears to emerge. The main volume is clad in indigenous rough-­‐hewn limestone block, sourced from a quarry near the site. Evoking the nature and weight of geologic compression, the block pattern tightens and scales down as it nears the ground. Reflecting the vast Texas sky, the taller building forms are clad with stainless steel panels. Blending with its surroundings during the day, the building is a glowing beacon at night, visible for miles.

在大厅里，厚厚的雕塑墙暗示着用实心岩石雕刻的空间。一条宽阔的楼梯将这三层楼与两层间流畅的景色连接起来。正厅座位1800，有可编程的天花板灯，并组织起来，以创造亲密无间的观众，不同的规模。可变的声学元素包括一个可拆卸的管弦乐队外壳，一个可伸缩的声学天篷和可调的声学窗帘。独奏厅设有伸缩立管、座椅和声学窗帘，将接待活动空间转换为表演空间。

Inside the lobby, thick sculptural walls suggest spaces carved from solid rock. A wide staircase connects the three stories with fluid views between levels. The main hall seats 1800, has programmable ceiling lights, and is organized to create intimacy for audiences of varying size. Variable acoustic elements include a demountable orchestra shell, a retractable acoustic canopy and adjustable acoustic drapery. The recital hall features telescopic riser seating and acoustical curtains that convert the room from an event space for a reception into a performance space.

该地区的气候对建筑系统进行了优化。朝向北方，窗户和天窗的位置，以避免热量增加。本地植物、生物足迹和低流量固定装置有助于节约用水，而置换通风和日光感应照明控制则减少了能源消耗。

Building systems are optimized for the region’s climate. Oriented toward the north, windows and skylights are sited to avoid heat gain. Native plants, bioswales and low-­‐flow fixtures help conserve water, while displacement ventilation and daylight-­‐sensing lighting controls reduce energy use.
