历程Construction Process
2018年初,北京市城市绿心起步区详细规划及剧院、图书馆、博物馆建筑设计方案的征集工作开始。8月,SHL建筑事务所+Perkins&Will建筑事务所联合体的T10号方案被选为剧院中标方案。2018年10月,北京市建筑设计研究院股份有限公司加入设计联合体,共同进行方案深化设计工作,并负责项目初步设计和施工图设计。
2021年4月,北京艺术中心主体结构封顶,同年12月外立面封闭亮相,2023年10月竣工验收。2023年12月正式投入使用,对外开放参观和演出。
In early 2018, the detailed planning of the starting zone of Beijing’s Urban Green Heart was initiated and the architectural design competition was launched for the theatre, library, and museum. In August, the proposal T10 by the Schmidt Hammer Lassen + Perkins & Will was selected as the winning proposal for the theatre. In October 2018, Beijing Institute of Architectural Design (BIAD) joined the design consortium to further refine the design and took charge of the preliminary design and construction drawings.
In April 2021, the main structure of Beijing Performing Arts Centre was topped out, and by December of the same year, the exterior façade was completed and unveiled. The project passed its completion check and acceptance in October 2023, and was officially opened to the public in December 2023.

理念Concept
北京艺术中心矗立于通州大运河畔,以古老的粮仓为设计灵感,通过简约的设计手法,演绎为当代运河边的“文化粮仓”。动态的曲线造型和屋顶轮廓,抽象而富有力度的再现了古运河上扬帆启航的盛景。以“舞台”为核心,剧院将“生活”与“表演”巧妙的融为一体,形成一个充满活力和创造力的艺术空间。无论从哪个角度观看,剧院多维的立面形象都使其易于识别,同时也塑造了一个开放式的水岸建筑,与副中心城市的生活、历史文化和自然环境无缝交融。
The theatre stands along the bank of the Grand Canal in Tongzhou District, drawing inspiration from ancient granaries and interpreted through minimalist design as a contemporary “cultural granary” by the canal. Its dynamic curved forms and roof contours abstractly yet powerfully evoke the bustling scenes of sailing ships setting off on the ancient canal. With the “stage” at its core, the theatre ingeniously integrates “life” and “performance,” creating a vibrant and creative artistic space. From any angle, the theatre’s multi-dimensional façade makes it recognizable, while shaping an open waterfront structure that seamlessly blends with the life, historical culture, and natural environment of the urban sub-center.

布局Layout
项目被设计为城市绿心起步区的标志性建筑,发挥着引领文化组团的重要作用。在对外设计中,重视与运河景观的呼应,以期创造一座重要的滨水景观建筑,带来独特的视觉享受;对内设计则更多考虑与图书馆、博物馆等公共空间的对位关系,通过合理的布局设计,促进不同文化场所间的互动与交流,营造出丰富多元的文化氛围。
As a landmark in the Urban Green Heart starting zone, the project played a key role in leading the cultural cluster. In terms of the external design, emphasis is placed on responding to the canal landscape, aiming to create a significant waterfront architectural piece that offers a unique visual experience. Internally, the design response its relationship with the library, museum, and other public spaces, with a well-organized layout planning to foster interaction and exchange between various cultural venues, thereby creating a rich and diverse cultural atmosphere.

歌剧院、音乐厅、戏剧场三座角度各异的剧场方形体量被布置在一个整合的平台上。观众的主要入口设在平台的北侧,而舞台装载口则设在东、南、西三侧,这样的布局形成了与运河故道遗址的有趣的围合关系。
The three separated volumes (the opera house, concert hall, and theatre), each with distinct angular forms, are arranged on an integrated platform. The main entrance for the audiences is located on the north side of the platform, while the stage loading entrances are positioned on the east, south, and west sides. This layout creates an enclosure in relation to the canal’s ancient route.

外观Exterior
项目的立面造型和屋顶轮廓线通过金属折板幕墙和透明玻璃幕墙的穿插,呈现“徐徐拉开的大幕”观感。金属折板幕墙由4300多块立体折叠铝板单元构成,创造动态多变的光影效果。立面设计充分考虑节能措施,采用高性能保温玻璃和自遮阳铝板幕墙结合,降低立面太阳辐射的热量。
The façade and roof evoke the impression of a ‘slowly drawn curtain’ through the interplay of folded metal panels and transparent glass curtain walls. The folded panels are composed of of over 4,300 three-dimensional aluminum plates, creating dynamic and varied light and shadow effects. The façade design incorporates energy-saving measures into account, using high-performance insulating glass combined with self-shading aluminum panels to reduce solar heat gain.
