架构师提供的文本描述。Lyric剧院坐落在贝尔法斯特砖砌的街道景观与拉甘河蜿蜒的公园之间的三角形交界处。建筑设计是根据现场的城市和景观条件进行的。建筑工地受到严格限制，形状不规则。预算受到严格限制。所有的建筑材料都是为了耐久而精心制作的。

Text description provided by the architects. The Lyric Theatre stands on a sloping site at triangular junction between the grid pattern of Belfast's brick street scape and the serpentine parkland of the River Lagan. The architectural design was developed in response to the urban and landscape conditions of the site. The building site was tightly restricted and irregular in shape. The budget was strictly limited. All the building materials are selected to endure and crafted to weather with age.

这座新建筑取代了20世纪60年代建造的一座不合标准的建筑。这座建筑是2003年5月举行的一次开放式建筑竞赛的结果，八年来一直沉浸在复杂的简报、设计、筹资、拆除和建造过程中。

The new building replaces a substandard structure built in the 1960s. The building is the result of an open architectural competition held in May 2003, and eight years immersion in the complex process of briefing, design, fund-raising, demolition and construction.

天际线展示了一个生产剧院的主要元素，主要是实体卷关闭观看。透明的社会空间围绕着固定形式的礼堂、演播室和排练。三个隔音的砖盒子站在循环系统中，就像溪流中的岩石。有三个不同的入口点，一个为卡车，两个为人，所有这些都与现有的街道水平挂钩。

The skyline displays the principal elements of a producing theatre, mainly solid volumes closed to view. Transparent social spaces flow around the fixed forms of Auditorium, Studio and Rehearsal. Three acoustically isolated brick boxes stand in the circulatory system like rocks in a stream. There are three different points of entry, one for trucks and two for people, all tied to existing street levels.

礼堂是一个单一的抛物线耙，与场地的斜坡相反，服务在地下。空间方案最大限度地扩大视线并产生亲密关系，感觉到演员和观众在同一个房间里。座位布局沿两个入口大厅之间的一条线折线。

The Auditorium is a single parabolic rake, running counter to the slope of the site, with services in the undercroft. The spatial scheme maximises sightlines and generates intimacy, with the feeling that the actors are in the same room as the audience. The seating layout is creased along a line between two entrance lobbies.

木地板在平面和剖面上轻微地折叠，就像一只张开的手，把观众的身体放在一起，集中在舞台上，在彼此的视线内。分面木材衬里是为适应有时相互冲突的要求舞台照明，视线和观众音响。

The timber floor folds slightly in plan and section, like an open hand, to hold the body of the audience together, focused on the stage and within sight of each other. The faceted timber lining is tailored to accommodate the sometimes conflicting requirements of stage-lighting, sightlines and audience acoustics.

工作室是一个6米高的砖砌的“空间”。其灵活的布局提供了最后阶段，推力，横穿，内圆，歌舞和长廊表演的可能性.工作室有一个带有滑动百叶窗的图片窗口，以便在街道和剧院活动之间偶尔进行视觉交流。

The Studio is a 6 meter high brick-lined "empty space". Its flexible layout provides for end-stage, thrust, traverse, in-the-round, cabaret and promenade performance possibilities. The Studio has a picture window with a sliding shutter to allow for occasional visual communication between street and theatre activities.

排练室的大小与主舞台和演播室有关。这间客房位于楼上酒吧的上方，屋顶上点亮着透过树梢俯瞰河流的景色。这个房间的声学允许朗诵和阅读。

The Rehearsal room dimensions are related to the main stage and studio. The room is located upstairs over the Bar, roof-lit with river views through the treetops. This acoustics of this room allow for recital and readings.
