lahznimmo建筑师事务所和ASPECT工作室通过入围竞争程序获得了新南威尔士大学肯辛顿校区9号门到达区的重建项目。约翰·克兰西爵士礼堂门厅的扩建和翻新是本工程范围的第一阶段。
lahznimmo architects with ASPECT Studios through a shortlisted competition process were awarded the Redevelopment of the Gate Nine Arrival Precinct on the University of New South Wales, Kensington Campus. The Expansion and Refurbishment of the Sir John Clancy Auditorium Foyer represents Stage One of this scope of work.
约翰·克兰西爵士礼堂是新南威尔士大学的“仪式之家”和毕业典礼，设计于20世纪70年代，是一座圆形建筑，具有强烈的雕塑形式，代表了其野蛮时代。该项目的目标是扩大规模过小的门厅的容量，最大限度地发挥其功能，并为上校区创建一个新的“前门”。
The Sir John Clancy Auditorium is UNSW’s ‘Home of Ceremony’ and Graduation and was designed in the 1970’s as a building in the round with a strong sculptural form representative of its brutalist era. The project objective was to expand the capacity of the undersized foyer, maximizing its functionality as well as create a new “front door” for the upper campus.
主要的北部门厅环绕着礼堂，与较小的东、西门厅相连。扩建后的北面主门厅的三角形形式是对现有建筑戏剧性几何结构的简单回应，它用一个市民规模的罩子和金色的铜瓦构成建筑的正面。
The main Northern foyer wraps around the auditorium to link with smaller Eastern and Western foyers. The triangular form of the expanded main northern foyer is a simple response to the existing building’s dramatic geometry, framing the front face of the building with a civic scaled hood skinned with golden copper shingles.
新门厅内部特征的关键是恢复和庆祝其原始的野蛮表达，除了一个重要的市民规模挂毯命名为“旗帜”由艺术家莫娜黑辛。这幅挂毯于1971年委托建造，原建筑横跨北部门厅20米。整个挂毯的颜色从金色到较冷的蓝色和紫色，为空间内的颜色选择提供了基础。
Key to the character of the new foyer interior was restoring and celebrating its original brutalist expression in addition to a significant civic scaled tapestry named “Banner” by the artist Mona Hessing. The tapestry was commissioned in 1971 for the original building to span 20m across the northern foyer. Across its length the Tapestry graduates in colour from golden hues through to cooler blues and purples providing the basis for colour selection within the space.
The reimagined foyer provides both a memorable back drop for graduations, ceremonies and the life of students in addition to being a centrepiece for the Upper Campus arrival experience.
