剛與柔合而為一——如恩設計研究室《阿那亞藝術中心》

如恩設計研究室的新案《阿那亞藝術中心》為中國秦皇島的阿那亞黃金海岸帶來了一間全新的當代藝廊。
The ‘Aranya Art Center’ is a newly designed contemporary gallery by Shanghai-based architects Neri&Hu; located in the seaside resort Aranya Gold Coast, in Qinhuangdao, China.

如恩設計研究室將該場地描述為一座堅硬的磐石，「在現今變幻莫測的大環境中堅定地昂揚」。以紋理混凝土作為主要建材，該中心的外觀是一座巨型的長方體，而建築內部則有一個圓錐狀的挖空，形成一座連結室內外的露天圓形劇場。當該場地不用於藝術表演時，這個空間及周邊的台階將可被視為一個庭院，而台階底層則會注滿水，化成一個池塘。
The architects describe the venue as a solid rock, “sitting firmly in the shifting environment.” Making use of textured concrete as its primary material both inside and out, the building takes its form in a rectangular volume, arranged around a large internal conical void that acts as an indoor-outdoor amphitheater. When not being used for artistic performances, the space and its cascading steps doubles as a courtyard, the lowest level of which fills with water, transforming itself into a pond.

儘管這座建築非常明顯的受到建築粗獷主義的影響，如恩設計說到，設計過程中他們還是盡可能的去「捕捉水的自然之美」。「阿那亞這個社群非常重視他們生活方式的精神本質——與環境的合一性」，因此在設計上併重了內部的庭園——一個居民空同享有的空間，以及能夠展示作品的展覽空間。藝廊的立面有幾道隨機的開窗，讓陽光能夠照進室內。配合著開闊的屋頂，光線不僅點亮空間，更為這個莊嚴肅穆的場所帶來一絲暖意。
Whilst palpably the venue takes cues from Brutalist architecture, the gallery’s design attempts to “encapsulate the natural wonder of water at its core,” explains the architects. “Aranya as a community has a strong emphasis on the spiritual nature of their lifestyle ideology, a oneness with the environment,” they continue. “So the design scheme is as much about the internal courtyard, a communal space for the residents, as it is about the exhibition being displayed in the center.” The gallery’s facade is punctuated by occasional windows that let light in; which, when combined with ambient lighting and an open roof, complement the artworks by adding brightness to an otherwise austere color palette.
