东京空中音乐厅,日本 / Takuro Yamamoto Architects
空中音乐厅是一座位于东京住宅区内的小型古典音乐演奏厅,约有 50 个座位。尽管周边被集合住宅与三层住宅所包围,但在这里聆听音乐时,透过音乐厅的窗户只能看到天空,而看不见邻近的房屋,从而营造出仿佛建筑之外只存在天空的环境。
Music Hall in the Sky is a small concert hall for classical music with about 50 seats in a residential area of Tokyo. In spite of a location surrounded by collective housings and three-story houses, you can listen to the music in an environment where only the sky seems to exist outside the window because you cannot see the adjacent houses through the windows of the hall.

音乐厅通常被设计为没有窗户。基于舞台演出需求以及隔音的必要性,普遍的做法是将音乐会作为一种从日常生活中分隔出来的特殊事件,因而使演奏空间(尤其是大型音乐厅)不设置窗户。然而,对于小型音乐厅而言,我们认为没有窗户反而是一大缺陷,因为这会让观众产生被囚困的感受,而这类空间本应是令人放松的。同时,本项目基地的边界旁紧邻一排建筑,如果按照常规方式开窗,将无法获得适合作为音乐会背景的景观。
Concert halls are commonly designed with no windows. For staging reasons and the necessity of sound insulation, the general approach is to separate concerts as special events from everyday life by having no windows in the hall, especially in the case of big halls. However, for small concert halls, we believe that no windows present a major disadvantage because it creates a sense of captivity in the audience, and that a windowless hall is not appropriate for a space that should be relaxing. Meanwhile, there is a line of adjacent buildings very close to the boundary of this estate. If windows were made in the usual manner, it would be impossible to achieve the proper landscape as background to enjoying a concert.

因此,我们将窗户的布置方式调整为只能看到天空,并确保从音乐厅内部无法看到周围建筑。必然地,窗户被放置在空间的高处,类似于天窗,使得人们抬头看到天空时毫不意外。
Therefore, we decided to place windows so that only the sky could be seen and made sure that the surrounding buildings could not be seen from the inside of the hall. Inevitably, windows are positioned in the upper part of the space, like the ceiling, so that seeing the sky is not surprising when you look up.

但我们也设想,如果在人眼视线以下的高度就能看到天空,将会是一种非常特别的体验,宛如从飞机舷窗向外眺望——这种感受会让人仿佛置身于被天空包围的建筑之中,而非被其他建筑包围。因此,我们在舞台脚部设置了一条带状的水平窗,通过镜面与顶部天光的结合,将正上方的天空反射进去。我们希望这个音乐厅能够让听众在某个周日下午,通过观看蓝天与云朵的悠然漂浮,在聆听音乐的同时暂时逃离日常生活。
But we also thought that if you could see the sky when looking lower than eye level, it would be a very unusual experience similar to looking out the window of a plane, and this would make you feel as if the whole building were surrounded by the sky instead of buildings. We set up a ribbon window at the foot of the stage combining the mirror and the top light to reflect the sky right above. We hope this hall will allow listeners to enjoy concerts and escape everyday life for a while on a Sunday afternoon by watching the blue sky and the relaxing motion of floating clouds.
