作为台湾近40年来最巨大的文化建设项目，卫武营艺术文化中心已于2018年10月正式开幕启用。这座占地35英亩的文化中心是目前世界上最大的单屋檐文化表演类建筑，它包含5个现代化的艺术表演空间，包括可容纳2236个座位的歌剧院、1981个座位的音乐厅、1210个座位的剧场、434个座位的演奏厅以及将建筑与亚热带公园相连接的屋顶露天剧场。

As the largest cultural construction project built in Taiwan in the last 40 years, Weiwuying Arts Center has officially opened to public in October 2018. The single sweeping building covers a surface area of 35 acres (141,000 sqm) and is set in the spectacular 116-acre (470,000 sqm) subtropical park in the heart of Kaohsiung, making it the world’s largest performing arts centre under one roof as well as Taiwan’s most significant cultural investment in a generation. It incorporates five state of the art performance spaces: a 2,236-seat Opera House, a 1,981-seat Concert Hall, a 1,210-seat Playhouse, a 434-seat Recital Hall and an Outdoor Theater linking the building to the park.

卫武营艺术文化中心象征着曾经作为主要国际港口的高雄向拥有丰富文化氛围的、多元化的现代城市转变的过程。由Mecanoo建筑事务所设计的卫武营艺术文化中心坐落在前军事用地，与旁边的亚热带公园融为一体。文化中心的落成将对高雄近300万市民带来积极的社会性影响。

The National Kaohsiung Centre for the Arts symbolizes the transformation of Kaohsiung, once a major international harbour, into a modern, diverse city with a rich cultural climate. Mecanoo designed the National Kaohsiung Centre for the Arts, located on a former military terrain, as an integral part of the adjacent subtropical park to have a positive social impact on the residents of Kaohsiung whose population counts almost 3 million.

设计的灵感来源于当地的榕树及其造型独特的树冠，连续的屋顶和墙面共同形成一个巨大而起伏的结构，将建筑内的各种功能连接起来。弧形的钢结构是在当地与荷兰造船厂的合作下制作而成。位于屋顶下方的榕树广场是一个宽阔且受到荫蔽的公共空间，市民们可以随时在这里漫步，或在人行道和休闲空间练习太极拳或进行街头表演。

Inspired by the local Banyan trees with their iconic crowns, the vast, undulating structure is composed of a skin and roof, and connects an extensive range of functions. The curved steel structure was built in cooperation between a local and a Dutch shipbuilder. Underneath this roof is Banyan Plaza, a generous, sheltered public space. Residents can wander through here day and night, practice Tai Chi or stage street performances along walkways and in informal spaces.

一座露天的剧场如鸟巢般镶嵌在文化中心的屋顶上，其弧线形的结构一直连接至地面，使围绕在其周围的公园变成天然的舞台。设计充分考虑了当地的亚热带气候，开放式的结构能够让微风自由地穿过榕树广场。室内和室外空间的无缝衔接为正式和非正式的表演活动提供了交织和互动的机会。

An open-air theatre nestles on the roof where the structure curves to the ground, with the surrounding park forming the stage. Designed with the subtropical climate in mind, the open structure allows the wind to blow freely through Banyan Plaza. The seamless flow between interior and exterior creates opportunities for crossovers between formal and informal performances.

文化中心包含了数个不同规模的剧院，例如有1981个座位的音乐厅和2236个座位的歌剧院。这些剧院被设置在建筑与地面接触的五个“核心”或“腿部”位置。核心空间通过位于屋顶内的几个门厅和地下服务楼层形成连接，同时包含了每个剧院的后台区域。

Different theatres such as the 1981-seat Concert Hall and 2236-seat Opera House are located in the five cores or ‘legs’ of the building where the structure meets the ground. The cores connect with one another via foyers in the roof and an underground service floor which houses the backstage area of each theatre.
