都市活力容器：Wintrust体育馆 / 佩里·克拉克·佩里建筑师事务所

与美国俄克拉何马州塔尔萨市的BOK中心相似，位于芝加哥的Wintrust体育馆是一个多功能活动空间，可以举办艺术表演、体育运动以及诸如主题演讲等会展类活动。虽然两者并非传统意义上的演艺中心，但场馆很大程度上从佩里·克拉克·佩里建筑师事务所（以下简称PCPA）演艺中心的设计经验中受益良多。PCPA的演艺建筑设计团队主导完成了项目的设计工作，设计团队还包括声学顾问、剧院策划顾问和舞台灯光顾问等长期致力于演艺中心设计的顾问团队。

The Wintrust Arena, like Tulsa’s BOK Center, is a multi-purpose events space that hosts the performing arts as well as sports and convention-related events like keynote speeches. While not performing arts centers in the traditional sense, these venues benefitted in a very essential way from Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects’ experience with performing arts center design. The firm’s performing arts team at PCPA led the design effort on these projects, and many of the consultants who contributed to the performing arts centers, including acousticians, theater planners, and stage-lighting consultants, are part of the team.

体育馆往往是城市毫无生气的“死角”。它们大而不透，只在有活动举办期间才活跃，即便这样，举行的活动也远离街道生活。在塔尔萨和芝加哥，PCPA力图打造能为周围街道积极做出贡献的体育馆，不仅能一览内部活动，并具备一种全时活跃、并非只在活动举办期间才活跃的设计特色。

Arenas are often dead spots in the city fabric. Large and opaque, they are only active during events, and even then, the activity is shut away from the life of the street. In Tulsa, and again in Chicago, Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects endeavored to create an arena that contributes positively to the streets that surround it, sharing the activity inside and investing the design with features that are active all the time, not just during the events.

Wintrust体育馆位于芝加哥南部，已于2017年秋季正式对外开放。 它是德保罗大学男子和女子篮球队的主场，也是国家最大的会议中心McCormick会展中心的大型活动空间。体育馆作为再开发规划的一部分，新设了餐饮、娱乐场馆、酒店及街景，力求将周边街区转变成一个充满活力的娱乐区域。

The Wintrust Arena (opened in the fall of 2017) is located on the Near South Side of Chicago. It is the home of DePaul University’s men’s and women’s basketball teams and a large events space for McCormick Place, the country’s largest convention center. The event center is part of a redevelopment plan to transform the surrounding neighborhood into a vibrant entertainment district with new dining and entertainment venues, hotels, and streetscapes.

该体育馆的主要设计特色是别出心裁的屋顶：坐席上方的屋顶向上隆起，形式上呼应了芝加哥的一些大型公共空间，如阿德勒和沙利文设计的罗斯福大学礼堂剧院、海军码头大宴会厅和联合车站。拱形屋顶呈阶梯状，让人联想起排列的“眉毛”。 到了晚上，华灯初上，其外形产生了独特的光影图案，这从芝加哥中央商务区中的环路上清晰可见。 在体育馆的内部，屋顶的结构暴露在外，使其钢制桁架成为了设计中富有表现力的部分。 芝加哥传统的结构表达具有抒情色彩 ，即将工程技术升华为了艺术，而Wintrust体育馆就是其中的一部分。

The event center’s main design feature is an inventive roof that swells upward over the arena seating, recalling some of Chicago’s great public rooms like Adler and Sullivan’s Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University, the Navy Pier Grand Ballroom, and Union Station. The arching roof is stepped, creating an evocative series of eyebrows. At night, when they glow with light, the shapes produce a distinctive patte that is visible from the Loop, Chicago’s central business district. Within the arena, the roof’s structure is exposed, making the steel trusses that hold it aloft an expressive part of the design. As a result, the Wintrust Arena is part of the Chicago tradition of lyrical structures—engineering raised to the level of art.

虽然体育馆设计具现代感而不失独特，但实则来源于对相邻城市的谨慎考量。体育馆位于步行尺度的草原大道区和较大尺度的会议中心园区的边界，旨在二者尺度之间打造一个过渡区域。向上隆起的屋顶使得屋檐较低，从而接近周围建筑物的高度。此外，若干个中等尺度、金属表皮的小馆分散在体育馆周围，它们不仅调节着尺度的变化，还设有体育馆的辅助功能，如垂直交通空间，零售柜台和洗手间。这不仅提升了体育馆的都市表达，也有利于打造宽敞的体育馆空间。

While the building’s design is contemporary and unique, it grows from a careful study of the adjacent city neighborhoods. Located at the boundary of the pedestrian-scale Prairie Avenue District and the larger-scale convention center campus, the event center is designed to create a transition between the two. The upward-swelling roof allows the eaves to be lower, near the height of the surrounding buildings. Additionally, medium-scale, metal-clad pavilions are located intermittently around the building, mediating the change in scale and housing many of the event center’s support spaces, likevertical circulation, concessions, and restrooms. This helps with the urban expression of the building and makes for an especially spacious arena.

在金属表皮小馆之间，高大的玻璃幕墙使得建筑物内的活动在街道上也清晰可见，为过路人创造了一种包容感。从外部向体育馆西南角的部分坐席之间看，可以瞥见内部活动，另外“恶魔平台”——悬臂结构的坐席区专门预留给 “德保罗蓝魔队”的学生球迷。

Between the metal pavilions, tall glass curtain walls make the activity within the building visible to the street, creating a sense of inclusion to the passerby. Arena seating parts at the southwest coer, offering a glimpse of the events inside, as well as the Demon Deck—a cantilevered section of seats reserved for student fans of the DePaul Blue Demons.

容纳10,600个座位的体育馆位于街道地面层，大厅的流线和大楼梯的活动得以贴近人行道。街道可直达体育馆的部分设施。 装卸台、机械设备空间、后台区和更衣室等后勤空间也经过了精心布置。 易达、透明的零售和柜台在街道面，从而进一步提升街区的生活。

The 10,600-seat arena is at street level, putting the activity of the concourse circulation and grand stair adjacent to the sidewalks. Some of the event center’s amenities are accessible directly from the street. Support spaces such as loading docks, mechanical spaces, backstage areas, and locker rooms are discreetly placed. However, retail and concessions are at street level—accessible and transparent— contributing to the life of the neighborhood.
