台北表演艺术中心位于台北士林夜市附近，以充满活力的街头文化为特色，为城市的舞台表演和文化场景增添了新的生命。

Located in Taipei's Shilin Night Market neighbourhood and characterised by a vibrant street culture, the Taipei Performing Arts Center is a place that adds new life to the city's stage performance and cultural scene.

从2008年的竞赛阶段开始，到2022年的实现，Inside Outside与OMA团队在景观和室内概念和干预方面密切合作。这包括装饰材料、窗帘、家具类型和色彩范围，设计公共广场、周围景观和街道景观、露台和屋顶花园;同时还因两幅大型剧院幕布获得了艺术委员会的荣誉。

Inside Outside worked in close collaboration with the OMA team on landscape and interior concepts and interventions from the start of the competition phase in 2008 through realization in 2022. This included finishing materials, curtains, furniture typologies and colour scopes, designing the public plaza, its surrounding landscape and streetscape, terrace and roof gardens; in the meantime receiving the honorable Arts Commission for two large-scale theatre curtains.

公共广场的黑白条纹图案，连同其集成的水电系统贯穿整个场地，在其坚固的表面上为市场和庆祝活动提供空间，并邀请每个人进入其动态的圆形中心。从那里，公共环路将城市的街道生活延伸到剧院，将广场与建筑的内部世界连接起来，并为游客提供免费进入后台区域和各种露台的机会，可以欣赏到城市和山脉的美景。

The black & white stripe pattern of the public plaza – with its integrated water and electricity system - runs over the entire site, offering space for markets and festivities on its sturdy surface and inviting everyone to enter the building at its dynamic circular heart. From there, the Public Loop extends the city’s street life into the theater, connecting the plaza to the building’s interior world and providing visitors free access to the backstage areas and the various terraces with their amazing views over city and mountains.

公共广场两侧有两个高架花园，每棵树就像舞台上的演员。策略性地选择了当地的树木，每一棵都展示了它们典型的形状和叶子，(每一棵)生长在五颜六色的多年生地毯上，共同形成遮阳的植物屋顶。连接的路径和圆形的“房间”是从这两个“舞台花园”中切割出来的，为遮蔽、放松和社交提供了亲密的场所;与城市广场强烈的功能性形成鲜明对比。

Two raised gardens, with individual trees like character actors on a stage, flank the public plaza on both sides. The strategically chosen local trees each exhibit their typical shape and foliage, (each) growing from colourful perennial carpets and together forming a shading vegetal roof. Connective paths and circular ‘rooms’ are cut-out of these two ‘stage gardens’, providing intimate places for shelter, relaxations and social interaction; a welcome contrast to the city square’s strong, functional character.

室内设计的基本概念是让“坚韧”的城市材料和图形无缝地融入建筑的公共空间，并通过使用一种单色来区分特定区域，仿佛每个区域都“浸”在一罐油漆中:剧院浸在灰蓝色中，后台和塔楼是深棕色，排练空间是粉红色，“绿色房间”是绿色。因此，建筑的每个部分都通过剧院透明的波纹玻璃立面暴露在外部世界。

The basic concept of the interior design is to let the ‘tough’ urban materials and graphics flow seamlessly into the public spaces of the building, and to differentiate specific areas by using one monochrome colour for each, as if (each) the area is ‘dipped’ into one can of paint: the theatres dipped in grayish-blue, the back-stage and tower in dark brown, the rehearsal spaces in pink and the ‘green rooms’ in green. Each section of the building is thus exposed to the outside world through the theatre’s transparent, corrugated glass façade.

剧院的大舞台幕(13 x 20米)遵循房间的整体色彩概念，形成空间的第四面墙。它由垂直宽度的厚玻璃纤维编织而成，优雅地落下和折叠，同时将其表面的微妙反射传递给公众。由于每个宽度由一个薄的透明条交替，窗帘在运动时产生意想不到的光效，从后面点亮，从前面点亮时窥视到舞台。

The large (13 x 20 m) stage curtain in the Grand Theatre follows the overall colour concept of the room and forms the fourth wall in the space. Made of vertical widths of a heavy glass fiber weave, it falls and folds elegantly, while transmitting the subtle reflectiveness of its surface towards the public. As each width is alternated by a thin transparent strip, the curtain generates un-expected light effects when in movement and lit from behind, and peeks onto the stage when lit from the front.

在环球剧场，其椭圆形的舞台开口，Inside Outside开发了一种新的舞台幕布形式:三个独立的拉伸膜形成半透明的平面，在垂直和水平方向上滑过舞台边缘，它们的组合位置创造了无穷无尽的舞台开口。它们也非常适合光影投射和皮影表演。

In the Globe Playhouse, with its oval-shaped stage opening, Inside Outside developed a new form of stage curtain: three separate stretched membranes form translucent planes that slide across the edge of the stage both in vertical and horizontal direction, their combined positions creating endlessly varied stage openings. They also lend themselves perfectly for light projections and shadow play.
