An outdoor auditorium will top the student centre that Adjaye Associates is developing for Rice University’s forested campus in Houston, Texas.
Slated for completion in 2023, the three-storey facility will encompass 7,400 square metres and replace the university’s existing 1950s student hub called the Rice Memorial Center.
Adjaye Associates’ proposal is hoped to become the new heart of the 121-hectare campus and will incorporate a distinctive rooftop auditorium, alongside a multicultural centre that supports the diversity and inclusion of students.
室外禮堂將放在Adjaye Associates正在為德克薩斯大學休斯敦賴斯大學森林校園開發的學生中心的頂部。
該三層樓高的建築預定於2023年完工，佔地7400平方米，將取代該大學現有的1950年代賴斯紀念中心。
希望Adjaye Associates的建議成為121公頃校園的新中心，並將合併一個獨特的屋頂禮堂以及一個支持學生多樣化和包容性的多元文化中心。

“This is an important and inspiring project for Adjaye Associates and we look forward to collaborating with Rice to imagine a new campus anchor point that engages its community in the most inclusive way possible,” said the studio’s founder, David Adjaye.
“Responding to the architectural history of the university, the city of Houston and the region, the student center will come to embody its position at the heart of the campus, fostering catalytic connections between undergraduates, graduates, faculty and staff activated in both the threshold and formalized spaces of the new building,” Adjaye explained.
該工作室的創始人大衛·阿賈耶（David Adjaye）說：“對阿賈耶（Asjaye Associates）來說，這是一個重要而又鼓舞人心的項目，我們期待與賴斯合作，想像一個新的校園錨點，以盡可能廣泛的方式吸引其社區。
“根據大學，休斯頓市和該地區的建築歷史，學生中心將在校園的中心位置體現自己的地位，促進在這兩個門檻中激活的本科生，畢業生，教職員工之間的催化聯繫 以及新建築的正式空間。” Adjaye解釋說。
Adjaye Associates’ proposal for the student facility was the winning entry of competition held by Rice University for which there were three finalists.
Though the university has requested that the majority of the existing student hub will be demolished, Adjaye Associates’ design will incorporate its original chapel and a memorial to 10 Navy Reserve Officers Training Corps students who died in a plane crash in 1953.
This reflects Adjaye’s well-known interest in memorial architecture, which was the subject of his recent Making Memory exhibition at the Design Museum in London.
Adjaye Associates對學生設施的建議是萊斯大學舉辦的競賽的優勝作品，入圍者有3名。
儘管該大學已要求拆除現有的大部分學生中心，但Adjaye Associates的設計將結合其原有的禮拜堂和一座紀念館，以紀念1953年因飛機失事喪生的10名海軍預備役軍官。
這反映了阿賈耶（Adjaye）對紀念建築的著名興趣，這也是他最近在倫敦設計博物館（Design Museum）舉辦的“製作記憶”展覽的主題。
Firm discloses few details about design｜公司披露有關設計的一些細節
Adjaye Associates has disclosed few details about the student centre’s design, though the visuals reveal its massing will be broken into a series of smaller volumes, unified by an earthy-hued gridded facade.
Alongside the oval-shaped auditorium, the rooftop will also incorporate green space and solar panels.
Adjaye Associates幾乎沒有透露有關學生中心設計的細節，儘管視覺效果顯示它的體積將被分成一系列較小的體積，並由樸實的網格狀外牆統一。
除了橢圓形的禮堂外，屋頂還將融合綠色空間和太陽能電池板。
A visual of the multicultural centre reveals that it will have a neutral material palette, lined with curving timber walls.
Construction is expected to begin on site in 2022, with Adjaye Associates working alongside Kendall/Heaton Associates and Tellepsen.
多元文化中心的視覺效果表明，它將具有一個中性的材料調色板，並襯有彎曲的木牆。
預計將於2022年開始施工，Adjaye Associates和Kendall / Heaton Associates和Tellepsen一起工作。
Adjaye completes Texas art centre last year｜Adjaye去年完成了德克薩斯藝術中心的建設
British-Ghanian architect Adjaye was named as the recipient of the RIBA’s Royal Gold Medal 2021 in September.
Once Rice Memorial Center complete, it will be the second building at Rice University to have been designed by a winner of RIBA’s Royal Gold Medal, following the completion of Anderson Hall by James Stirling in 1981.
Last year, Adjaye’s firm completed a contemporary art centre Ruby City in San Antonio, Texas. The building has an angular, red concrete skin based on a dream of its patron, philanthropist Linda Pace.
9月，英國-加納建築師Adjaye被任命為RIBA的2021年皇家金質獎章的獲得者。
賴斯紀念中心建成後，它將成為賴斯大學的第二座建築，這是繼1981年詹姆斯·斯特林（James Stirling）安德森·霍爾（Anderson Hall）建成後，由RIBA的皇家金牌得主設計的。
去年，Adjaye的公司在德克薩斯州聖安東尼奧市建成了一座當代藝術中心紅寶石城。 該建築有一個紅色的混凝土表皮，其外觀是其贊助人，慈善家琳達·佩斯（Linda Pace）的夢想。
