由OMA / Ellen van Loon设计的Aviva工作室已经完工。这个多用途的文化场所，是两年一度举办曼彻斯特国际艺术节（MIF）的组织Factory International的永久工作地址。

Aviva Studios by OMA / Ellen van Loon has completed construction. This multipurpose cultural venue serves as the permanent residence of Factory International, the organization behind the biannuals Manchester International Festival (MIF).

这座13350平方米的建筑，是为了在总体上满足灵活性和适应性的需求而设计。除了作为英国首个此类场馆，它也是欧洲范围内规模最大、最具雄心的此类开发项目之一，能够单独或同时举办各种规模的艺术表演和展览——沉浸式展览、戏剧制作、亲密音乐会、狂欢。它让使用者得以摆脱传统场地的限制，并为艺术家提供了一个尝试新表达模式的平台。

The 13,350-square-meter building has been designed to cater to a need for total flexibility and adaptability. The first venue of its kind in the UK, and one of the largest and most ambitious of such developments in Europe, it is capable of hosting both artistic performances and exhibitions of various scales – immersive exhibitions, theater productions, intimate concerts, raves – separately or simultaneously. It allows its users to break free from the constraints of conventional venues and offers artists a platform to experiment with new modes of expression.

该建筑的设计以开放、灵活的大空间为中心，这些空间根据在这座建筑中所创造和呈现的作品的需要，可以不断进行调整和重新布局。建筑中关键的元素之一是33米宽、64米长、21米高的“仓库”，这是一个主要表演空间，布局灵活，剧院轴网横跨整个区域。“仓库”中的特色是两个超大的可移动“多墙”，在广阔的空间内可以实现几乎无限数量的配置方式。

The building’s design is centered around large, open, flexible spaces that will continuously adapt and reconfigure to meet the requirements of work created and presented in the building. Key elements include the 33 meters wide, 64 meters long and 21 meters high Warehouse, the ultimate flexible performance space, with a theatre grid spanning the entirety of the area. The Warehouse features two supersized moveable ‘Multiwalls’ which enable an almost limitless number of configurations within the expansive space.

与“仓库”相连的是“大厅”，这是一个1600座的礼堂，它灵活的舞台可以容纳芭蕾舞、戏剧、音乐和跨界艺术表演。“大厅”和“仓库”可以串联在一起使用，让舞台延伸到“仓库”深处。

Plugged into the Warehouse is ‘the Hall’, a 1600 seat auditorium with a flexible stage, able to accommodate ballet, theater, music, and cross-art performances. The Hall and the Warehouse can work in tandem, allowing the stage to extend deep into the warehouse.

场地代表了曼彻斯特的工业和文化历史，建筑的设计相应使用了波纹金属和粗糙混凝土的使用。该建筑沿Water Street伫立着，与Pineapple铁路19世纪的拱结构相映成趣。

The site is representative of the industrial and cultural history of Manchester, referenced in the building’s design through its use of corrugated metal and rough concrete. The building is lifted over Water Street and incorporates the 19th century arches from the Pineapple railway.

通常为了避免噪音，这种规模的场馆会被转移到郊区。然而，设计通过用双层混凝土包裹结构以及采用先进的声学技术，达到了最高标准的隔音效果，因而让建筑坐落于城市中心。

Typically, venues of this size are relegated to the outskirts due to noise concerns. However, by enclosing the structure with dual layers of concrete and employing advanced acoustic techniques, the highest sound insulation was achieved, allowing the building to be part of the city center.

该建筑的建筑师Ellen van Loon设想这个结构是文化表达的多功能舞台。“我曾在许多剧院和表演空间工作过，但没有一个能在表演者的体验上与这个项目相比。这个场馆能够成为释放表演艺术全部潜力的一个平台。废弃的后工业建筑和社区常常被从地图上抹去，随之消失的还有曾经在其中蓬勃发展的创意产业的景象。而这座建筑恢复了失去的东西。”

Ellen van Loon, architect of the building, envisions this structure as a versatile stage for cultural expression. "I've worked on numerous theaters and performance spaces, but none compare to this one in terms of what it offers to performers. This venue serves as a platform, unlocking the full potential of the performing arts. All too often, abandoned post-industrial buildings and neighborhoods are erased from the map, and with them the creative scenes that once thrived within them. This building reinstates what was lost."

这是OMA在英国的第一个公共项目。该场馆的开发由曼彻斯特市议会牵头，得到了英国政府9905万英镑的支持，以及英格兰艺术委员会700万英镑的国家彩票投资。

Factory International marks OMA's first public project in the UK. The venue’s development is led by Manchester City Council, with backing of £99.05m from HM Government and £7m National Lottery funding from Arts Council England.

该项目由Ellen van Loon负责，Carol Patterson、Gary Owen和Jonathan Telkamp也做出了重要贡献。
