架构师提供的文本描述。声学清晰和精确是设计这一独奏空间和室外舞台在加州艺术学院音乐硕士课程的指导原则。该项目坐落在进入1970年代校园的大门上，具有多种用途，将声学、结构设计、材料和象征性的存在结合在一起，形成了一座被认为是高度调谐的音乐表演工具的建筑。

Text description provided by the architects. Acoustic clarity and precision were governing principals for the design of this recital space and outdoor stage for the Masters Program in music at the California Institute of the Arts. Sited at the gateway to the 1970’s era campus, the project serves a multitude of purposes, for which acoustics, structural design, materials, and symbolic presence were integrated to produce a building which was conceived as a highly tuned instrument for musical performance.

 South Elevation: Open

南海拔：开放

从概念上讲，单体屋顶结构的悬臂从其底部创造了高度配置的声学体积，由于其展开的横截面和其轮廓的参数演变，具有类似的共振和视觉特征，但小得多的乐器，如小提琴或吉他。这个体积也是由一个单一的、折叠的平面来定义的，它的强度来源于一个纯粹的几何结构，它不仅在结构上是有效的，而且与周围建筑物的大规模直线性形成了巨大的对比。

Conceptually, the monocoque roof structure cantilevers from its base to create a highly configured acoustic volume which, due to its splayed cross-section and the parametric evolution of its profile, has both the resonance and visual characteristics of similar, but much smaller instruments such as violins or guitars. This volume is also defined by a single thin, folded plane, which derives its strength from a pure geometric configuration which is not only structurally efficient but provides a dramatic contrast to the massive rectilinearity of the surrounding buildings.

旋转、滑动和旋转表面的组合使展馆在空间和声学上都能轻松和快速地适应各种性能配置。值得注意的是南立面上的大滑动门，这使得坐在现有树冠下草坪上的观众可以随意地进行户外表演，以及北墙上的旋转表面，可以对其进行调整，以投射出自然的声音。在牧师的旋转窗中还可以找到另一个动力学元素，这些窗口由非常精确的控制器操作，这些控制器与客机上的控制器相适应，并可用于进一步改善空间的声学。用来支持牧师的蜘蛛状结构的设计是为了补充和增强建筑物的工具性，同时发出通常是“后台”机制的声音。

A combination of rotating, sliding, and pivoting surfaces allow the pavilion to easily and quickly adapt both spatially and acoustically to a variety of performance configurations. Notable are the large sliding doors on the South elevation, which enable casual outdoor performances before an audience seated on the lawn under an existing canopy of trees, and the rotating surfaces on the North wall, which may be adjusted to project natural sound towards them. A further kinetic element can be found in the pivoting windows of the clerestory, which are operated by extremely accurate controllers adapted from those used in passenger aircraft, and can be used to further fine-rune the acoustics of the space. The spider-like structures employed to support the clerestory were designed to complement and enhance the instrumentality of the building while giving voice to what is normally a “back-of-house” mechanism.

该网站的发展是由紧急的网站-一个尴尬的，但关键的位置，在校园入口与积极的变化轮廓。这些问题，以及代码要求的访问，通过在建筑物周围设置一个向下螺旋的坡道来解决，从而提供了获得观众便利设施以及后台必需品的途径。

Development of the site was dominated by the exigencies of the site – an awkward, but critical position at the campus entry with vigorous changes in contour. Those issues, as well as code-required access, were addressed by configuring a ramp in a downward spiral around the building, thus providing access to audience amenities as well as back-of-house necessities.
