完成于2011年6月，新的克拉克家庭欢迎画廊，在阿德勒天文馆，芝加哥，伊利诺伊州现在可能被添加到越来越多的单一和有趣的项目，托马斯罗扎克建筑，有限责任公司。通过聪明和协作的设计，罗扎克带领团队实现项目目标，创造了一个多功能的空间，提供了一个欢迎的聚集区，同时启动了优化天文馆主要活动-天空剧院-所需的令人兴奋的预演体验。

Completed in June 2011, the new Clark Family Welcome Gallery at Adler Planetarium, Chicago, IL may now be added to the growing list of uniqueand interesting projects of Thomas RoszakArchitecture, LLC. Through smart and collaborative design, Roszak led the team to meetproject goals by creating a multifunctional space that provides a welcoming gathering area while also initiating an exciting pre-show experience necessary in optimizing the planetarium’s main event, the Sky Theater.

为了做到这一点，Roszak的团队考虑了创造性和创新性的想法，最显著的是他们使用抽象的材料和创造感觉不同和其他世界的空间。使用铝管和聚酯纤维织物建造的墙壁提供了一个成本效益的选择，同时创造了一个高影响，高度戏剧性的设计。Roszak的团队与织物行业的专家“制造者”进行了协商，在发现完美的选择之前，对数千种选择进行了分类。直到他们发现了一种精确、干净的线条，体现了对无缝外观的渴望，他们才决定了这一点。

In order to do so, Roszak’s team considered creative and innovating ideas, most notably their use of abstract materials and the creation of space that feels different and other-worldly. Using aluminum tubing and polyester fabric constructed walls provided a cost effective alternative while creating a high-impact, and highly dramatic design. Roszak’s team consulted with“fabricologists”, experts in the fabric industry, sorting through thousands of choices before discovering the perfect options. The team didn’t settle until they found a fabric with precise, clean lines embodying the desire for a seamless look.

其结果是：光滑的纹理，纯白色的织物与适当的透明度，使用在单层和双层。最重要的是，织物必须有能力反映空间的LED照明系统，但也吸收光线的混合媒体视频是投射在织物墙壁上。

The result: a smooth textured, pure white fabric with just the right amount of transparency used inboth single and double layers. Most importantly,the fabric had to have the ability to reflect thespace’s LED lighting system, but also absorb light where mixed-media video is projected on the fabric walls.

虽然了解他们的客户和天文学作为一个整体，旅行在“切片的时间”成为一个明显的基本概念。罗扎克的设计结合了这一主题，使用精心挑选的织物在墙壁和表面造型，以模仿穿越时空。Roszak采用参数化建模技术对空间的复杂形状和表面进行了设计。织物围绕着该区域，在每个区域创建丰富的空间“事件”。Roszak在交替区域将织物分层，在游客的路径上形成更深、更轻的“薄片”，每一段代表外层空间的“时间切片”。

While learning about their client and astronomy as a whole, traveling through “slices in time” became an apparent fundamental concept. Roszak’s design incorporates this theme by using the carefully selected fabric on walls and surfaces shaped to mimic travel through spacetime. Roszak’s used parametric modeling techniques to design the complex shapes and surfaces of the space. The fabric surrounds the area creating rich, spatial “events” in each section. Roszak layered the fabric in alternating areas creating darker and lighter “slices” along the visitor’s pathway with each section representing a “time slice” in outer space.

描述层叠的陡峭平面的斜率增加了代表现在的表面的设计，它记录了一段时间以来的天文事件。甚至设计的布局也是如此，通过改变自己在画廊中的位置，人们对空间的感知随着空隙的分离、加入、扩展和收缩而发生变化。所有的设计效果都增加了游客从“切片”到“切片”的体验，让他们感觉自己在太空中穿越时空。

Delineated slopes of cascading sheer planes add to the design representing the surface of the present that has recorded an astronomical event over time. Even the design’s floorplan is laid out such that by shifting one’s position in the gallery, the perception of space changes as the voids separate, join, expand, and contract. All of the design effects add to the visitor’s experience of walking from “slice” to “slice” feeling like they are traveling through time in space.

罗扎克计划中展示的太空旅行主题还包括许多有意“弯曲”的画廊形状。这些路径诱使冒险家沿着自由流动的太空的“捷径”漫步，就像一个真正的宇航员一样。曲折的目的是双重的，因为它们也为媒体学习展示创造了机会。与专家广泛合作，在视频，动画，声音和照明激发互动展览与分层投影图像，运动探测光和声音效果，以及不寻常的显示技术在每一个角落。

Also included in the space travel theme shown through Roszak’s plan are the many courses of the purposely “bent” shape of the gallery. These paths entice the adventurous explorer to wander along “shortcuts” of the free-flowing space just as a real astronaut would. The purpose of the twists and turns is two-fold since they also create opportunities for a collage of media learning displays. Extensive collaboration with experts in video, animation, sound, and lighting inspired interactive exhibits with layered projected images, motion- detecting light and sound effects, and unusual display technologies around every corner.

多年的经验和过去的项目使Roszak对合作采取了一种自然积极的态度，知道如何将该领域的专家召集在一起，并共同努力最大限度地发挥项目的潜力。最重要的是，Roszak听取了客户的意见，并确保他们参与了每个设计阶段。

Many years of experience and past projects have given Roszak a naturally positive attitude on collaboration, knowing how to bring together individuals who are experts in their fields, and working together to maximize a project’s full potential. Most importantly, Roszak listened to the client and made sure they were involved in every design stage.

以某种方式使用体系结构来整合客户的愿景，即使是最“走出这个世界”的概念，也可以在可能的范围内。建筑和媒体对欢迎画廊的贡献极大地提高了客人在阿德勒天文馆的整体体验。托马斯罗扎克建筑，有限责任公司，是自豪的有他们的建筑和设计贡献，以实现阿德勒的最终目标，创造一个令人兴奋和好奇的访问，一定会创造嗡嗡声和希望客人返回更多的学习和空间探索！

Using architecture in a way to incorporate a client’s vision, even the most “out of this world” concepts, can be in the realm of the possible. The architectural and media contributions to the Welcome Gallery immensely enhance guests’ overall experience at Adler Planetarium. Thomas Roszak Architecture, LLC, is proud to have their architectural and design contributions aide in reaching Adler’s ultimate goal of creating an exciting and curiosity-evoking visit sure to create buzz and desire for guests to return for more learning and space exploration!
