苹果塔剧院是苹果公司在洛杉矶市中心的最新商店,已向游客开放。该设计旨在通过赋予建筑新的用途和恢复其失去的荣耀,重振洛杉矶最具历史的电影院之一。苹果塔剧院的揭幕是洛杉矶市中心更大的城市复兴的一个重要部分,它将加强这个地区的城市零售和社区生活。

Apple Tower Theatre, Apple’s newest store in the heart of downtown Los Angeles, has opened to visitors. The design seeks to reinvigorate one of LA’s most historic movie theaters by giving the building a new purpose and restoring its lost glory. The unveiling of Apple Tower Theatre is a significant part of the larger urban regeneration of downtown LA that will strengthen urban retail and community life in this part of the city.

该设计是苹果公司和Foster + Partners的设计团队紧密合作的结果。

The design is the result of a close collaboration between the design teams at Apple and Foster + Partners.

塔楼剧院由多产的电影院设计师S-查尔斯-李于1927年设计,是洛杉矶第一家为放映有声电影而建造的电影院。该设计恢复了独特的钟楼和赤土外墙,加强了历史性的内部装修,改善了侯车室和百老汇街的立面,同时升级了无障碍设施,以确保该建筑能够在未来长期生存并服务于社区。

Designed in 1927 by prolific motion picture theater designer, S Charles Lee, Tower Theatre was the first movie theater in Los Angeles built to show talking movies. The design restores the distinctive clock tower and exterior terracotta facades enhances historic interiors and improve the marquees and the Broadway Street elevation while upgrading accessibility to ensure the building will survive and serve the community long into the future.

该设计希望在百老汇大街上创造一个积极的存在。游客在街道上进入一个宽敞的大厅。一个经过完美修复的大楼梯将游客带到上层,而大厅则通向位于地面的主剧院大厅的高耸体积,它已被完全改造成一个宏伟的展示区。墙壁和天花板上复杂的历史性石膏细节,可以追溯到20世纪20年代,已被精心修复和加强。剧院天花板的中央圆顶已被重新诠释为一幅壁画,表现了加利福尼亚南部天空平静的金色阳光,为空间增添了活力和色彩。

The design looks to create an active presence on Broadway. Visitors enter a generous lobby at street level. An immaculately restored grand staircase takes visitors to the upper levels, while the lobby opens up to the soaring volume of the main theatre hall at ground level, which has been completely transformed into a majestic display area. The intricate historic plaster detailing on the walls and ceiling, dating back to the 1920s, has been carefully restored and enhanced. The central dome of the theater’s ceiling has been reinterpreted with a fresco of the calming golden sunshine of the southern Californian sky, adding dynamism and color to space.

参照有声电影的黄金时代,新论坛在前庭拱门下重新设置了屏幕。一组不显眼的楼梯和电梯将游客带到阳台层,那里有全场最好的座位来观看论坛。宽敞的剧院式真皮座椅上集成了电气和数据点,是游客在等待天才预约时放松的最佳地点。阳台的顶部是天才层。它就位于剧院的放映员窗口下方,提供了剧院所有修复后的完整快照。

Referencing the golden era of talkies and films, the new Forum reinstates the screen under the proscenium arch. A discreet set of stairs and elevators also bring visitors to the balcony level, which hosts the best seats in the house to view the Forum. The generous leather theater-style seats with integrated electrical and data points are the perfect spot for visitors to relax while they wait for their Genius appointments. At the top of the balcony is the Genius Level. Located just beneath the theater’s projectionist windows, it offers a complete snapshot of the theater in all its restored glory.

苹果公司的 “今天 “将成为吸引公众的新磁铁,激发人们的热情,并将整个商店,包括楼上的阳台,转变为一个戏剧活动空间。

The Today at Apple will be a new magnet for the public, inspiring people and transforming the entire store, including the upstairs balcony, into a theatrical event space.
