架构师提供的文本描述。威尔金森·艾尔建筑师建造的篮球竞技场是有史以来为奥运会和残奥会设立的最大的临时场馆之一，也是奥林匹克公园的第三大场馆。竞技场位于场地北端的高地上，从奥林匹克公园的各个有利位置清晰可见，将为篮球热身赛和手球决赛提供12000个座位，并为轮椅篮球和轮椅橄榄球比赛提供1万个座位。尽管预算紧张，竞技场仍将是2012年奥运会最具标志性和视觉戏剧性的建筑之一。

Text description provided by the architects. The Basketball Arena by Wilkinson Eyre Architects is one of the biggest temporary venues ever erected for any Olympic and Paralympic Games and the third largest venue in the Olympic Park. Located on high ground at the north end of the site, and clearly visible from various vantage points in the Olympic Park, the Arena will provide 12,000 seats for the basketball heats and handball finals, as well as 10,000 seats for the wheelchair basketball and wheelchair rugby competitions. Despite a tight budget, the Arena is set to be one of the most iconic and visually dramatic buildings of the 2012 Games.

简报呼吁建立一个简单易用的结构，但同时也为一些最受欢迎的奥运赛事提供了一个世界级的体育场地。除了这些因素，可持续性是建筑设计的一个关键驱动力：舞台是由坚固的个别部件组成的，这些部件可以很容易地拆卸和再利用，超过三分之二的材料和部件被确定用于项目的再利用或循环利用。

The brief called for a structure that was simple to erect but also provided a world‐class sporting venue for some of the most popular Olympic events. Alongside these factors, sustainability was a key driver in the building’s design: the arena has been made out of robust individual components that can be easily dismantled and subdivided for reuse, with over two‐thirds of the materials and components used on the project identified for reuse or for recycle.

威尔金森·艾尔(Wilkinson Eyre)使用了一种与周围永久场馆不同的建筑语言，通过创新和经济的结构和包覆解决方案，公开庆祝英国工程的最好之处和结构的临时性质。轻量化、简单的建筑构件已经被使用，而不是通常在体育场建筑中发现的混凝土结构，这使得篮球竞技场的钢框架和包层只需6周就能建成。

Wilkinson Eyre has used an architectural language that remains distinct from the surrounding permanent venues, overtly celebrating both the best of British engineering and the temporary nature of the structure through innovative and economic structural and cladding solutions. Lightweight, simple building components have been used instead of a concrete structure usually found in stadia architecture, allowing the Basketball Arena’s steel frame and cladding to be constructed in just six weeks.

30米高的矩形体积(相当于一栋七层楼的建筑)是由一个钢门式刚架制成的，包裹在20，000平方米的轻质无邻苯二甲酸盐和可循环利用的PVC中。这半透明定制包层是延伸到最小的钢框架模块，把织物推出，并创造了一个优雅和三维起伏的模式跨越正面。

The 30m‐high rectangular volume (the equivalent of a seven‐storey building) is made out of a steel portal frame and wrapped in 20,000 sqm of lightweight phthalate‐free and recyclable PVC. This translucent bespoke cladding is stretched across minimal steel framing modules that push the fabric out and create an elegant and three‐dimensional undulating pattern across the facades.

屋顶织物包括一个相互交织的黑暗层，消除了白天在游戏期间，并保持完全可控的人工照明的媒体。外墙是半透明的，白天可以透过日光，晚上可以看到人工照明。

The roof fabric includes an interwoven blackout layer that eliminates daylight during game sessions and maintains fully controllable artificial lighting for the media. The external walls are translucent, allowing daylight to filter through during the day and artificial lighting to be visible in the evening.

在整个结构中使用的表面质量的变化有助于使建筑物的外部充满生气，建筑物的表达来自于阳光的播放和整个织物表面的夜间戏剧照明。威尔金森·艾尔与联合视觉艺术家、音乐会灯光和装置方面的专家合作，为晚上的比赛创造照明和变色效果。其结果是动态照明，在夜间，将白色表面转变成各种饱和颜色和强大的剪影的子结构，创造了最大的光装置在奥林匹克公园。

The variation of surface qualities used throughout the structure help animate the building’s exterior, with the expression of the building being derived from the play of sunlight and night‐time theatrical lighting across the fabric surface. Wilkinson Eyre worked with United Visual Artists, specialists in concert lighting and installations, to create lighting and colour‐changing effects for the evening games. The result is a dynamic illumination which, at night, transforms the white surface into a variety of saturated colours and strong silhouettes of the sub‐structure, creating the biggest light installation on the Olympic park.

作为房屋区域后部的模块化住宿单元位于竞技场外，该区域还与Velo车道和BMX轨道共享LOCOG覆盖设施。这些活动将包括热身球场和餐饮、安保、废物管理和媒体等领域.

Modular accommodation units that serve as the back of house areas are located outside the Arena volume, which also shares LOCOG overlay facilities with the Velodrome and BMX Track. These will include warm‐up courts and areas for catering, security, waste management and the media.
