We've been discussing the factors the architect hasto consider when designing domestic buildings.
我們之前一直在討論建築師在設計住宅時必須考慮的因素。
I'm going to move on now to consider the design ofpublic buildings,
現在我要繼續來講設計公共建築時要考慮的因素，
and I'll illustrate this by referring to the new TaylorConcert Hall that's recently been completed here inthe city.
我會以市裡最近建成的新Taylor Concert Hall為例說明這些因素。
So, as with a domestic building, when designing a public building, an architect needs toconsider the function of the building
和設計住宅一樣，建築師在設計一棟公共建築時，需要考慮到這棟建築的功能，
for example, is it to be used primarily for entertainment, or for education, or foradministration?
比如它是主要用來休閒娛樂的，還是用於教育或者管理?
The second thing the architect needs to think about is the context of the building,
建築師需要考慮的第二件事就是這棟建築的來龍去脈，
this includes its physical location obviously but it also includes the social meaning of thebuilding,
包括很明顯的一點--它的實際位置，還有這棟建築的社會意義，
how it relates to the people it's built for.
即它和使用這棟建築的人群之間有什麼聯絡。
And finally for important public buildings,
最後一點，對於很重要的公共建築，
the architect may also be looking for a central symbolic idea on which to base the design,
建築師也許還要尋找一個代表性的中心思想，以此作為設計的基礎，
a sort of metaphor for the building and the way in which it is used.
有點像這棟建築和它的用途的比喻。
Let's look at the new Taylor Concert Hall in relation to these ideas.
我們來看看新Taylor Concert Hall的設計中與這些想法相關的地方。
The location chosen was a site in a run-down district that has been ignored in previousredevelopment plans.
它選址於一個破敗的地區，這個地區在之前的再開發計劃中被忽視了。
It was occupied by a factory that had been empty for some years.
這個地點曾經是一座空了好幾年的工廠。
The whole area was some distance from the high-rise office blocks of the central businessdistrict and shopping centre,
整個地區離中心商業區的高層辦公大樓和購物中心都有一段距離，
but it was only one kilometre from the ring road.
但是距環城路僅一千米。
The site itself was bordered to the north by a canal
Taylor Concert Hall所在地點的北部被一條運河包圍著，
which had once been used by boats bringing in raw materials when the area was used formanufacturing.
在該地區過去從事製造業的時候，這條河曾被用作船隻運來原材料的通道。
The architect chosen for the project was Tom Harrison.
被選定設計這個專案的建築師是Tom Harrison。
He found the main design challenge was the location of the site in an area that had noneighbouring buildings of any importance.
他發現這次設計的主要挑戰就是這一地點的地理位置，這個區域內沒有任何重要的鄰近建築。
To reflect the fact that the significance of the building in this quite run-down location was asyet unknown,
為了反映出這棟身處如此破敗地區的建築的'重要性那時仍未為人所知這一事實，
he decided to create a building centred around the idea of a mystery--something whosemeaning still has to be discovered.
他決定以謎團這個想法為中心設計出一棟建築，而這個“謎團”的意思至今仍待探索。
So how was this reflected in the design of the building?
那麼，這一點在這棟建築的設計中是如何體現的呢?
Well, Harrison decided to create pedestrian access to the building and to make use of thepresence of water on the site.
Harrison決定造一條通往建築的步行通道，並且充分利用這裡的運河。
As people approach the entrance they therefore have to cross over abridge.
因此如果人們想要走近入口，他們就得穿過一座橋。
He wanted to give people a feeling of suspense as they see the building first from a distance,and then close-up,
他希望，隨著人們最初從遠處看見這棟建築，然後慢慢接近的過程中會產生一種懸念，
and the initial impression he wanted to create from the shape of the building as a whole wasthat of a box.
他想通過這整棟建築的外形給人們留下的最初印象是一個盒子。
The first side that people see, the southern wall, is just a high, flat wall uninterrupted by anywindows.
人們看到的第一面是這棟建築南邊的牆，這個牆只是一堵又高又平，沒有任何窗戶的牆。
This might sound off-putting, but it supports Harrison's concept of the building
這聽起來也許有點掃興，但它支援著Harrison對這棟建築的設計概念
that the person approaching is intrigued and wonders what will be inside.
不斷走近的人會被激起興趣，好奇裡面是什麼。
And this flat wall also has another purpose.
這堵平坦的牆還有另一個用途。
At night-time projectors are switched on and it functions as a huge screen onto which imagesare projected.
晚上的時候，他們會開啟投影儀，而這堵牆就被用作了一塊巨大的螢幕，投影儀會把影象投影在上面。
