新世界中心是新世界交响乐团美国管弦乐团学院的一部分，本周开业。这座音乐教育和表演设施位于迈阿密海滩的中心，是艺术总监迈克尔-蒂尔逊-托马斯创办的新世界交响乐团的第一个专门建造的家。
在设计方面，该建筑的外观描绘了一个安静的、几乎驯服的弗兰克-盖里。长方形的白色建筑在其内部表达了盖里众所周知的弯曲和折叠–通过主入口东面80英尺高的玻璃幕墙可以瞥见这些。
The New World Center, part of the New World Symphony America’s Orchestral Academy, opened its doors this week. Located in the heart of Miami Beach, the music education and performance facility is the first purpose-built home for the New World Symphony founded by artistic director Michael Tilson Thomas.
In terms of design the building’s exterior portrays a quiet, almost tamed Frank Gehry. The rectangle shaped white building expresses Gehry’s well known bends and folds within its interior – glimpses of which are visible through the main entrance east facade 80 foot high glass curtain wall.
新世界中心加入了迈阿密新建筑和设计的浪潮。作为美国最重要的艺术展巴塞尔艺术展和2010年美国建筑师协会全国大会的主办方，迈阿密一直在努力发展一个新的充满活力的城市中心。就在新世界中心的街边，坐落着由赫尔佐格和德梅隆设计的林肯路1111号，去年已经完工。目前Herzog & de Meuron还在为迈阿密艺术博物馆进行扩建。
迈阿密海滩SoundScape是由荷兰景观建筑公司West 8设计的公共活动空间，位于新世界中心的东面，新建筑的西面是宾夕法尼亚大道车库，这是一个由盖瑞合伙人设计的新的550辆车的停车场结构。
The New World Center joins a wave of new architecture and design in Miami. Playing host to the most important art show in the United States, Art Basel | Miami Beach, and the 2010 National AIA Convention, Miami has been focusing its efforts on developing a new vibrant city center. Just down the street from the New World Center resides 1111 Lincoln Road designed by Herzog & de Meuron, completed last year. Currently Herzog & de Meuron are also working on the expansion for the Miami Art Museum.
Miami Beach SoundScape, the public event space designed by the Dutch landscape architecture firm West 8, is located to the east of the New World Center and to the west of the new building is Pennsylvania Avenue Garage, a new 550-car parking structure designed by Gehry Partners, LLP.
新世界交响乐团，美国的管弦乐学院，标志着古典音乐的一个新时代，该机构的第一个专门建造的家，在迈阿密海滩中心的一个非凡的新设施落成。新世界中心由弗兰克-盖里与新世界交响乐团的创始人和艺术总监迈克尔-蒂尔森-托马斯密切合作设计，为音乐的教学、展示和体验方式提供了令人兴奋的新可能性，并极大地推进了新世界交响乐团为其学员中的有天赋的年轻音乐学校毕业生提供特殊专业培训的使命。
“这座非凡的建筑的开放是一次美妙的冒险和探索的开始，”迈克尔-蒂尔逊-托马斯说。”我们不仅标志着这个组织进入了一个新的时代，给我们的音乐家提供了一个无与伦比的学习和实现其潜力的设施，而且我们还邀请大家在一种新的空间里体验古典音乐–这种空间旨在吸引和激发人们的兴趣，并将推动世界各地的人们以新的方式思考音乐问题。
New World Symphony, America’s Orchestral Academy, marks a new era for classical music with the inauguration of the institution’s first purpose-built home, an extraordinary new facility in the center of Miami Beach. Designed by Frank Gehry in close collaboration with the New World Symphony’s founder and artistic director Michael Tilson Thomas, New World Center opens up exciting new possibilities in the way music is taught, presented and experienced and dramatically advances New World Symphony’s mission to provide exceptional professional training for the gifted young music school graduates who are its Fellows.
“The opening of this extraordinary building is the beginning of a wonderful adventure and exploration,” said Michael Tilson Thomas. ”Not only are we marking a new era for this organization and giving our musicians an unrivalled facility in which to learn and achieve their potential, but we are also inviting everyone to experience classical music in a new kind of space—one that is designed to engage and to energize, and that will move people from around the world to think about music in new ways.”
新世界中心的核心是一个灵活和技术先进的756个座位的表演厅，其特点是大型声学反射 “帆”，用声音包围观众，同时也作为视频投影面。
与100,641平方英尺的建筑直接相邻的是新的迈阿密海滩SoundScape，这是一个占地2.5英亩的公共空间，新世界交响乐团将把它的节目扩展到这里。大楼和公共空间共同创造了一个充满活力的新城市中心和一个地理 “心脏”，公民、文化、娱乐、旅游和休闲活动将从这里辐射出去。
At the heart of New World Center is a flexible and technologically sophisticated 756-seat performance hall, featuring large acoustically reflective “sails” that surround the audience with sound and also serve as video projection surfaces.
Directly adjacent to the 100,641-square-foot building is the new Miami Beach SoundScape, a landscaped 2.5- acre public space into which New World Symphony will extend its programming. Together, the building and the public space create a dynamic new city center and a geographical “heart” from which civic, cultural, recreational, tourist and leisurely activity will radiate.
为期六天的开幕庆典活动将展示新建筑的卓越能力。活动包括著名作曲家托马斯-阿德斯（Thomas Adès）为管弦乐队创作的作品的世界首演；表演大厅内的视频投影，包括电影制片人塔尔-罗斯纳的新作品和与南加州大学（迈克尔-蒂尔逊-托马斯和弗兰克-盖里的母校）及其电影艺术学院合作开发的一系列动画的世界首演；塔尔-罗斯纳和数字艺术家C. E.B. Reas的新作品的户外视频投影；一场现场音乐会的户外墙报；旨在吸引和扩大观众的新音乐会形式的介绍；一个建筑研讨会；现场户外娱乐；以及烟火。
弗兰克-盖里说：”我对这座建筑感到非常自豪，它是我与我的终身朋友迈克尔-蒂尔森-托马斯紧密合作的结果，并将他对新世界交响乐团和整个古典音乐世界的梦想变为现实。我希望迈克尔和我所享有的创造性参与的精神将在大楼的空间中继续存在。它们旨在鼓励年轻音乐家、他们的导师和他们的观众尝试新事物，以新的方式互动，并对新的体验保持开放。
Six days of opening festivities will showcase the new building’s remarkable capabilities. Events include the world premiere of a commissioned work for orchestra by acclaimed composer Thomas Adès; video projections within the performance hall, including a new work by filmmaker Tal Rosner and the world premiere of a series of animations developed in collaboration with the University of Southern California (alma mater of Michael Tilson Thomas and Frank Gehry) and its School of Cinematic Arts; outdoor video projections of a new work by Tal Rosner and digital artist C.E.B. Reas; an outdoor wallcastTM of a live concert; the introduction of new concertformats designed to engage and broaden audiences; an architecture symposium; live outdoor entertainment; and fireworks.
Frank Gehry stated, “I am very proud of this building, which results from a close working relationship with my lifelong friend Michael Tilson Thomas and brings to life his dream for New World Symphony and the entire world of classical music. I hope the spirit of creative engagement that Michael and I have enjoyed will live on in the building’s spaces. They are designed to encourage young musicians, their mentors and their audiences to try new things, interact in new ways and remain open to new experiences.”
