PES-Architects wins the competition to design the new Turku Concert Hall as part of alliance consortium Harmonia 

 

 

基于建筑质量和场地利用的考量，2021年10月18日，经过两轮评选，图尔库市议会决定由芬兰PES建筑设计事务所和Hartela建筑公司组成的Harmonia 联合体中标图尔库新音乐厅。此次竞赛一共有三家联合体进入到2020年12月进行的第二轮竞赛。

 

联合体的名称 "Harmonia "反映了设计目标。“和谐”在希腊原文中是结合在一起的意思。在音乐中，它指的是对立元素的融合。同样，新的音乐厅也旨在将“城市、艺术、功能和文化”各种不同元素结合起来，建筑将作为一个载体培养社区精神并激发新的活动。

 

新音乐厅将建造在奥拉河畔的独立广场上，这是图尔库的一个重要城市公共区域。所以，音乐厅的景观设计需要与周围的景观环境及图尔库独特的文化相结合。

 

在我们的设计愿景中，新音乐厅不会是一个单独的感叹号，而是与邻近的图尔库城市剧院和Wäinö Aaltonen博物馆一起成为一个充满活力的文化和艺术地标。

 

横贯市区的奥拉河对图尔库来说有着重要意义，因此位于河畔的新音乐厅设计也需要有自己鲜明且独特的特点。新音乐厅选取铜、玻璃和木材的立面，优雅通透的材质让人们可以从建筑内部看到不同角度的河景，并使建筑外观散发出开放性和吸引力。

 

音乐厅是一个经典的鞋盒型礼堂，声学设计需达到世界顶级水平，观众和管弦乐队可以沉浸在音乐之中。多功能厅的设计可以灵活地适应多种用途需求。

 

新音乐厅虽然将建在独立广场上，但是不会去遮挡相邻的剧院和城市行政大楼观望奥拉河的视线。现有的广场空间被尽可能地保留，成为一个多功能活动空间，衔接起音乐厅和相邻的图尔库城市剧院。为了弥补音乐厅所占据的广场公园空间，新音乐厅将设计屋顶花园露台。

 

根据联合体模式，该项目现在将进入两个阶段的开发流程，即第一步与市政府合作制定项目计划、商定项目的范围、内容和目标，第二步准备建设文件，供市议会批准。

 

13,600平方米的音乐厅计划于2025年底前竣工。

The Turku City Council decided on 18 October to select alliance consortium Harmonia, led by construction company Hartela and PES-Architects, to design and build the new Turku Concert Hall following a two-phase negotiated tendering process. Three alliance consortia were shortlisted for the second phase in December 2020. Particular emphasis in the decision was placed  on architectural quality and the use of the site. 

  

The name of the consortium, Harmonia (harmony), reflects the goals of the design. In the original Greek, harmony means joining together. In music, it refers to the harmonious combination of contrasting elements. Similarly, the new concert hall is designed for diverse encounters at different levels: urban, artistic, functional and  cultural. The architecture of the building serves as a platform to help foster a sense of community and enable new forms of activities and events.  

 

Harmony has also been sought in the relationship of the concert hall to its surroundings and the unique cultural landscape. The concert hall will be situated in a prominent location on Independence Square by the Aura River. In our vision, the building is not a solitary exclamation mark – instead, it will form part of a vibrant landmark of culture and art together with the adjacent Turku City Theatre and Wäinö Aaltonen Museum.  

 

The building also has its own clear identity and distinctive character. In recognition  of the importance of the Aura River flowing through Turku to the city’s landscape and identity, the building lends its form from an undulating river bed. The vertical openings of the copper, glass and wood façade allow varying views of the river from within and make the building open and inviting from outside. 

 

The concert hall will feature world-class acoustics in a classic shoebox auditorium that envelops the audience and orchestra in music. The multifunctional hall is designed to flexibly accommodate a variety of uses.  

 

The building will leave as much as possible of the existing square open to retain views to the river from the theatre and the City administration building. The square between the concert hall and theatre will be a functional space for activities, allowing new forms of collaboration between the two. To compensate for the loss of the existing park, the building will feature rooftop gardens and terraces.

 

According to the alliance model, the project will now proceed to a two-stage development phase, where a project plan will be drawn up in partnership with the City to agree on the scope, content and targets of the project, followed by preparation of the construction documents for approval by the City Council.

 

The aim is that the 13,600 sqm concert hall would be completed by the end of 2025.
