爱丁堡是一个文化遗产丰富的城市，每年都会举办世界最大的表演艺术节。杜纳德中心的建立，将满足爱丁堡长久以来对于专业、中型演艺中心的需求，它将为一系列不同的音乐演出和其它活动提供新场所，同时也将作为苏格兰室内乐团的基地。除了1000座的主音乐厅、咖啡厅、酒吧外，还设有多功能空间，用于各种活动，同时也可用于扩展教育项目。建成之时，它将成为爱丁堡100年来首座为音乐和表演艺术所造的新建建筑。

Edinburgh is a city with a rich cultural heritage that plays host to the world’s largest performing arts festival every year. The Dunard Centre will address the longidentified need for a purpose-built, medium-sized performance venue in the city, serving as an Edinburgh base for the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and providing a new space for a range of musical performances, as well as events. The venue will contain a 1,000-seat auditorium, a café, bar and multifunctional spaces for a variety of events as well as an educational outreach programme. Upon completion it will be Edinburgh’s first dedicated new space for music and the performing arts in 100 years.

这座新建建筑位于爱丁堡的联合国教科文组织世界遗产区域内，坐落于乔治时期所建的新城的东侧。它位于圣安德鲁广场的A级保护建筑登打士大楼（1771）背后，并与其联系，可用作特殊活动的正式入口。从城市的层面，这座新建建筑试图达到两个目的：一方面为乔治街提供一个合适的终点，作为新城最重要的轴线，这里原先就计划建设一座宏大的公共建筑；另一方面，紧邻的周边城市空间相对闭塞，新建建筑将改善这种现状：它通过几条流线和入口联系了周边不同的街区，并营造了一个新的景观公共空间。

The new venue is located within Edinburgh’s UNESCO World Heritage Site at the eastern end of its Georgian New Town. It is located behind, and connected to, the Grade-A listed Dundas House (1771) on St Andrew Square which can serve as a formal entrance for special events. On an urban level the project seeks to provide a fitting terminus at the end of George Street, the New Town’s principal axis, in a position where a grand public building was originally intended to be built. It also resolves the immediate urban conditions of the site, which is relatively concealed. The venue connects the surrounding distinct neighbourhoods through several approach routes and entrances, as well as a newly landscaped public realm.

建筑的功能布置于三个简单、紧凑并互相叠加的体量中。主音乐厅位于基地中央，是一个纯粹的椭圆柱体量，其形状与比例致力于满足声学要求和回应其位于基地的地理位置。音乐厅的体略高于周边建筑并映衬前景的登打士大楼——成为乔治街轴线东端上重要的视觉终点和城市形象。会场底部的低矮体量以方正的形式呈现，容纳辅助和公共功能。这部分相对低矮的建筑尺度帮助削弱整个建筑的巨大体量，将该会场锚固在周边街道、庭院和建筑的尺度、形体和气氛中。

The building’s functions are distributed within three refined yet compact and intersecting volumes. The concert hall sits in the centre within a pure elliptical form; its shape and scale dictated by the acoustic requirements and its position on the site. The hall volume rises above the neighbouring buildings as an urban gesture which terminates the axial view east along George Street, with Dundas House prominently in the foreground. The venue’s overlapping lower volumes are orthogonal in form and house its ancillary and public functions. These help to reduce the overall mass of the building and anchor it within the scale, geometry and atmosphere of the surrounding lanes, pocket gardens, and neighbouring buildings.

新建会场的外立面试图联系新城建筑的秩序和材料。新建筑的体量呈现上、中、下的三段式特征，见于很多新古典主义建筑；外立面混凝土的颜色则来自于新城中不同的砂岩。

The façades of the new venue relate to the architecture of the New Town in both their order and materiality. The expression of a base, middle and top, found on other neoclassical buildings, is picked up by the composition of the venue’s massing while the texture and tone of its concrete picks up the various sandstones found in the New Town.
