隈研吾新作，普罗旺斯地区艾克斯音乐学院。建筑表面折叠的铝板让人联想到音乐的灵魂–乐谱。
Kengo Kuma建筑事务所还曾给gooood分享过Yusuhara Wooden Bridge Museum  梼原木桥博物馆。

该项目是音乐学校、音乐厅和各类其他设施的综合建筑。本区域内的地势存在很大差异，其相邻地区的地势也颇不平坦。为了解决这个问题，我们选择铝材作为构成立面的单一材料，并对其进行了局部折叠。

The project is a complex of the music conservatory, its concert hall and various other facilities.
There is a big difference in elevation within the site, and its neighboring land is also diverse. To solve such complexity, we chose aluminum as a single material for each façade, to be folded in part according to the face.

折叠之后的薄铝板为立面带来了微妙的阴影，由此产生的光影代替铝材成为了立面的主要元素。这个设计灵感来自该区域的伟大艺术家Paul Cézanne和折纸艺术。

By adding the work of “folding” to the thin aluminum panel, each façade is given subtle shading. The main element of the façade here, therefore, is light and shadow, instead of the aluminum. We were inspired for this idea by Paul Cézanne, the great artist from this region, and Japanese art of Origami.

折叠的铝板还有助于阻挡窗户开口处的阳光，并控制开口处的视野。曾经一个有趣的评论说立面让人联想到音乐学校的灵魂—乐谱。

Folding also became useful in protecting the opening from the sunlight, and controlling the range of view from the opening. We also received an interesting remark that this façde evokes a musical score, the protagonist of conservatory.

音乐厅也同样运用折叠元素形成了非对称的内部构造，与Darius Milhaud多彩而自由的音乐产生共鸣。Darius Milhaud是Aix-en-Provence地区的作曲家，在该音乐学校久负盛名。

Folding is also applied to the concert hall. An asymmetrical interior was generated as its result, and helped to make a resonance with colorful, free-spirited music by Darius Milhaud, again a composer of Aix-en-Provence whose name is crowned on the conservatory.
