架构师提供的文本描述。新的TELUS表演和学习中心是为加拿大顶级音乐和艺术教育家皇家音乐学院建造新家的总体计划的最后阶段。九巴在玛丽安·麦肯纳的指导下，一直在与区域协调委员会合作，以实现1991年获奖总计划中提出的愿景。

Text description provided by the architects. The new TELUS Centre for Performance and Learning is the final phase in the Master Plan to build a new home for Canada’s premier music and arts educator, the Royal Conservatory. KPMB, under the direction of Marianne McKenna, has been working with the RCM to realize the vision set forth in the 1991 award winning Master Plan.

学术文化交融

Academic Cultural Hybrid

整个项目包括逐步修复麦克马斯特厅和建造一个新的TELUS表演和学习中心，以创造一个独特的混合教学和彩排设施和目的地音乐会场地与三个主要表演场地。历史建筑和新建筑之间的空间是封闭的，以创造一个滑雪步行街连接布洛尔街入口到音乐厅和大堂。新增加的玻璃和钢结构为遗产建筑的多色正面提供了一个动态的对立面。

The overall project involved the progressive restoration of McMaster Hall and the construction of a new TELUS Centre for Performance and Learning to create a unique hybrid of a teaching and rehearsal facility and destination concert venue with three major performance venues. The space between the historic and new building is enclosed to create a skylit pedestrian court linking the Bloor Street entrance to the Concert Hall and Lobby. The glass and steel structure of the new addition provides a dynamic counterpoint to the polychromatic facades of the heritage buildings.

为多伦多定义一个新的文化区

Defining a New Cultural Precinct for Toronto

在城市化方面，该项目位于多伦多大学市中心校园门口的多伦多市中心的一个重要地点，并整合了菲洛舍尔步行街(Philosopher‘sWalk)，这是一条南北连接布洛尔街和霍斯金大道(Hoskin Avenue)的景观步行路线。该设计的战略构想是为城市定义一个新的文化区，以配合邻近ROM的改造和皇后公园拐角处嘉丁纳博物馆的扩建。

Urbanistically, the project occupies an important site in mid-town Toronto at the threshold of the University of Toronto’s downtown campus and integrates Philosopher’s Walk, a landscape pedestrian route that runs north and south linking Bloor Street to Hoskin Avenue. The design was strategically conceived to define a new cultural precinct for the City in concert with the transformation of the adjacent ROM and the expansion of the Gardiner Museum around the corner on Queen’s Park.

尊重遗产

Respecting Heritage

虽然新增加的建筑在规模和规模上都是实质性的，但选址、集结和拼凑都是对布洛尔街19世纪遗产建筑的尊重。自1962年以来，布洛尔街一直是RCM的所在地。强调透明度和当代建筑系统创造了一个动态对抗的多色砌体墙时，遇到哲学家的步道。九巴还参与了外部遗产织物和240个座位的Ettore Mazzoleni大厅的修复工作。

Although the new additions are substantive in scale and size, the siting, massing and articulation is deferential to the 19th century heritage buildings on Bloor Street which have housed the RCM since 1962. The emphasis on transparency and contemporary building systems create a dynamic counterpoint to the polychromatic masonry walls when encountered from Philosopher’s Walk. KPMB was also involved in the restoration of the exterior heritage fabric and 240-seat Ettore Mazzoleni Hall.

学术专业学院

Academic – Professional Conservatory

一项关键任务是最大限度地提高整合新技术和适应方案变化和增长的能力和灵活性。新增加的包括43个新的教学和实践工作室，伊纳托维兹大厅(1898年)的翻新和一个新的150个座位的音乐剧院，一个排演空间，以适应一系列的功能，从特别活动到通过艺术的学习。在规模和比例上，它复制了主要的科纳音乐厅的音质和舞台大小，为学生准备现场表演。

A key mandate was to maximize the capacity and flexibility for integrating new technology and adapting to changes and growth in programs. The new additions include 43 new teaching and practice studios, the renovation of Ihnatowycz Hall (1898) and a new 150-seat Conservatory Theatre, a rehearsal space designed to accommodate a range of functions, from special events to the Learning Through the Arts. In scale and proportion it replicates the acoustic quality and stage size of the main Koerner Concert Hall to prepare students for live performance.

文化场地

Cultural Venue

除了马佐莱尼音乐厅和音乐剧院外，该项目还包括了1，135个座位的迈克尔和索尼娅·克尔纳音乐厅。科纳音乐厅是该项目的表演中心，并将提供一个首映式的声学环境。它起伏的木头‘面纱’与舞台上方的天篷结合在一起，为RCM定义了一个标志性的图像。

In addition to Mazzoleni Hall and Conservatory Theatre, the project incorporates the 1,135-seat Michael and Sonja Koerner Concert Hall. Koerner Hall is the performance heart of the project, and will provide a premiere acoustical environment. Its undulating wood ‘veil’ integrated with the canopy above the stage define an iconic image for the RCM.

总的来说，TELUS中心强调声学的首要地位，以直接支持RCM的教育使命，以培养一个创造性的社会。

Overall, the TELUS Centre emphasizes the primacy of acoustics to directly support the RCM’s educational mission to nurture a creative society.
