Urban Stage
Urban Stage is the project designed by Andrea Tabocchini Architecture on the occasion of NXT_MAXXI L’AQUILA 2022, an invited competition announced by the MAXXI National Museum of 21st Century Arts. The Museum has invited 4 emerging architectural firms to participate in the competition with the aim of promoting a new generation of talented architects.
Andrea Tabocchini Architecture’s proposal draws inspiration from two references of the past, the Roman baths and the ancient stage machines, and responds to the requests of the call by creating a hybrid between the two references: a proteiform structure capable of transforming itself both into both a public space with a swimming pool and a stage for the MAXXI Museum summer events.
城市舞臺是由安德烈亞．塔博基尼建築事務所設計的項目，為了慶祝文化藝術活動「NXT_MAXXI拉奎拉2022」而設計規劃的。這是由義大利拉奎拉21世紀國家藝術博物館（MAXXI）發起的競賽，並邀請了4家新興建築公司參加，希望能藉由此競賽，給予新一代有才華的建築師更多的發展機會。
安德烈亞．塔博基尼建築事務所的提案，參考了歷史上兩個具代表性的作品——羅馬浴場和古代舞台機械，從中汲取靈感，並綜合了兩者分別的特性來呼應該競賽的要求：一個多變的結構，既能成為設有游泳池的公共空間，又能夠變形成為MAXXI博物館夏季活動的舞台。
城市舞臺
這個裝置是一個佔據6個停車位空間的城市機器。它具有移動和變形雙重功能，由三個元素組成：一個基礎泳池、一個舞臺平臺及一個景觀系統遮陽裝置。城市舞臺活絡並創造了與阿汀蓋利宮廣場和整個城市新的互動方式，讓居民可以重新來到這個被汽車所佔據的公共空間。事實上，該項目提出了一個機動性和靈活的結構，這些元素可以進行變形和轉換，以因應不同的功能需求，而非傳統形式化的建築風格。裝置的目的在於活絡公共空間並促進多元大型活動，如：休息閱讀、遊戲、游泳、展覽、會議、表演、音樂會、DJ演出和戶外電影等⋯⋯
The installation is an urban machine that occupies exactly the space of 6 parking lots. It consists of 3 elements that can move and transform to respond to a dual function: a base-pool, a stage-platform, and a scenic system-shading device. Urban Stage stimulates a new way of interacting with the square in front of Palazzo Ardinghelli and the whole city, allowing inhabitants to reclaim the public spaces currently invaded by cars. Avoiding excessive formal efforts, in fact, the project proposes an adaptable and flexible structure that activates the public space and stimulates multiple collective activities: rest, reading, play, pool, exhibitions, conferences, shows, concerts, dj-sets, outdoor cinema, etc...
The project offers visitors and the local community a structure with a shape that is not easily definable: a living device that takes on different forms or attitudes in response to the needs and desires of those who interact with it. Its appearance, therefore, is the result of unpredictable circumstances: the events hosted, the weather conditions, and the behavior of the occupants. A project that reflects its dual nature also in its character: elegant by day and eccentric by night, ephemeral and glowing, abstract and mysterious, fragile and timeless.
此項目為遊客和當地社區提供了一個難以明確定義的結構：一個有活力的裝置，可以根據與其互動的人們之需求，渴望採取不同的形式回饋人們。因此，它的外觀總是不可預測且瞬息萬變：主要取決於舉辦的活動、天氣條件的狀況和使用者的行為。該項目也反映了它雙重的性格：白天看起來十分優雅，晚上則古怪又有趣、短暫而耀眼、抽象而神秘、脆弱而永恆。
