简介

芬兰设计在国际上以清晰的与功能化的设计风格理念著名，能够从长远的角度满足使用者的需求。于2012年四月开放的无锡大剧院标志着第一个大尺度的芬兰设计范例在中国完成。来自PES建筑设计事务所的设计团队控制了包括建筑设计在内的从功能使用，到室内设计，环境景观设计，剧场技术，灯光与音响设计在内的全部设计。

在芬兰，通常情况下建筑师从一开始客户的构思阶段到最后的室内各个细部对一幢重要的建筑进行整体性设计，并负责协调所有专业顾问的工作。Pekka Salminen教授，PES建筑设计事务所的创始人，与他的合作伙伴，建筑师Tuomas Silvennoinen一起希望能在中国推动这种设计思考方式。

他们的论点是，如果没有一个对整体设计与建设过程了解和具备相关知识的领衔设计师，则可持续发展的准则将不能实现。时间将表明建筑长期持久的价值。这在中国这样一个世界最大的建设地区，且所有建筑都在以惊人的速度被实现的地方，是尤其重要与急迫的。

无锡大剧院

2008年，PES建筑设计事务所赢得了无锡大剧院建筑设计国际竞赛的一等奖。其他参赛者是来自德国，法国，日本与丹麦的知名机构。

无锡大剧院的主要设计理念是基于它的区域位置。剧院选址在太湖南岸地区的人造半岛上，附近有一座高速公路大桥，这使得该基地位置可与悉尼大剧院相媲美。该位置决定大剧院成为重要的地标性建筑，建筑如同巨大的雕像一般从基地高度升起到50m高处。建筑的8个巨大的屋顶如翅膀般远远伸出墙外，让剧院看起来像一只蝴蝶，大屋顶同时也有利于阻挡阳光的热量。

建筑设计理念是独一无二的：在钢翅膀内是上千只LED灯，可以根据演出剧目的特点变换翅膀的颜色。由于翅膀底面覆盖的穿孔铝板让此概念得以实现。另一个特别之处是由50根高9米的光之柱形成的“森林”，光柱从主入口的广场开始，支撑起中央大厅的屋顶，并通过沿湖侧的入口延伸至湖中。

一个具有强烈中国特色的特性贯穿于整个建筑：大量的使用既是中国传统材料也是现代材料的竹材。近来一些新的竹材制造和使用方法，使得主要剧院观众厅被一万五千块根据音响需要与建筑形象决定的各自不同形状的实心竹材块包裹成为可能。

剧院还采用了一项具有芬兰特色的材料，即剧院观众大厅沿湖一侧的弧形墙上将近两万块经过特别设计的玻璃砖。芬兰的自然，湖泊与冰是建筑设计的灵感。

PES建筑设计事务所之前的作品包括了位于德国的圣玛丽音乐厅和位于芬兰的赫尔辛基万塔国际机场在内的众多国际项目。在中国的成都市，一座192米高的多功能高层建筑正在建造中，PES建筑设计事务所在2009年该项目的国际建筑设计竞赛中获得了一等奖。

为了加强PES在中国已有的8年的设计经验与建设市场，PES建筑事务所于2011年秋季创立了在中国的设计公司，萨米宁希诺宁建筑设计咨询（上海）有限公司。

Description Text
Introduction

Finnish Design is internationally reknown for its concepts of clear and functional style, which meet the needs of the users from a long term perspective. The first large scale example of Finnish design in China was completed by the opening of the Wuxi Grand Theatre in April 2012. Its design was not only a question of architecture, but the whole design – from functional program to interior design, landscape design, theatre technology, lighting and acoustic design – was controlled by the PES-Architects’ team.

Normally in Finland the architect holistically designs important public buildings from the client’s first thoughts to the interior design details and is in charge of coordinating the works of all special consultants. Professor Pekka Salminen, the founder of PES-Architects, and his design partner, architect Tuomas Silvennoinen, want to promote this type of “Design Thinking” in China.

Their argument is, that without a head designer with an overall understanding and knowledge of the entire design and construction process, the criterions for sustainable development cannot be realised. Time shows the long-lasting values of architecture. This is particularly important and acute in China, which is the largest construction site in the world and where all building projects are realised with astonishing speed.

Wuxi Grand Theatre

In 2008, PES-Architects won the first prize in the invited international architectural competition for Wuxi Grand Theatre. The other competitors were established and well-known practices from Germany, France, Japan and Denmark. The main idea of Wuxi Grand Theatre is based on its location. The manmade peninsula on the northern shore area of Taihu Lake and the highway bridge nearby make this location comparable to that of Sydney Opera House. Due to this location the building is an impressive landmark, rising up to a total height of 50 meters like a big sculpture from the terraced base. Its eight gigantic roof wings stretch far over the facades, giving the building a character of a butterfly, while protecting the building from the heat of the sun.

The architectural concept is unique: inside the steel wings are thousands of LED lights, which make it possible to change the colour of the wings according to the character of the performances. This is possible, because the underside of the wings is covered by perforated aluminium panels. Another special feature is the “forest” of 50 light columns, each 9 meter high, which start from the main entrance square, support the roof of the central lobby and continue outside of the lakeside entrance into the lake.

There is a strong Chinese feature that runs throughout the whole building: the large scale use of bamboo which is both a traditional and a modern Chinese material. Recently new methods for the production and use of bamboo have made it possible to cover the Main Opera Auditorium with over fifteen thousand solid bamboo blocks, all individually shaped according to acoustic needs and architectural image.

There is also a material with a Finnish character: almost twenty thousand specially designed glass bricks cover the curved wall of the opera auditorium in the lakeside lobby. Finnish nature, lakes and ice, were the architectural inspiration.

Earlier references of PES-Architects international projects include St Mary’s Concert Hall in Germany and Helsinki-Vantaa Airport in Finland. In China, a mix-use 192m high-rise building in is currently under construction in the city of Chengdu, the result of a first prize in an international architectural competition in 2009.

To emphasize the experience of being 8 years in China design and construction market, PES-Architects in Autumn 2011 opened the Chinese design company PES- Architects Consulting (Shanghai) Co. Ltd.
