Haworth Tompkins修複了布裏斯托爾i級的老維克劇院——英語世界最古老的仍在運轉的劇院——以創造“城市的公共空間”。建築工作室用一個新的大禮堂取代了由英國建築師Peter Moro設計的大型側擴建部分，該擴建部分於1972年被添加到格魯吉亞劇院。
Haworth Tompkins has restored Bristol’s Grade I-listed Old Vic theatre – the oldest continuously working theatre in the English speaking world – to create “a public room for the city”.The architecture studio has replaced a large side extension designed by British architect Peter Moro, which was added to the Georgian theatre in 1972, with a new large auditorium.
Haworth Tompkins說:“20世紀70年代雖然在概念上清晰而且巧妙地實現改造，但卻將觀眾席分成了兩個互不相連的門廳，封閉了劇院的公共立麵。因此無法實現其作為城市公共空間的曆史目的。”
“The 1970s alterations, although conceptually clear and skilfully realised, divided the audience into two unconnected foyers, closed off the theatre’s public facade ” said Haworth Tompkins.”As a consequence [it] could no linger fulfil its historic purpose as a public room for the city.”
Haworth Tompkins的改造重點在於開放和展示原有空間。新的門廳被認為是“街道的非正式延伸”，通過拆除20世紀70年代的工作室劇院以釋放出空間。由木材和玻璃構成的結構框架構成了格魯吉亞禮堂的原始磚牆立麵，並在其內部建造了新的開口。
Haworth Tompkins’ renovation focused on opening up and revealing the original spaces. The new foyer has been conceived as “an informal extension of the street”, occupying the space freed up by removing the 1970s studio theatre.A structure of timber and glass frames the original brick facade of the Georgian auditorium, into which new openings have been made.
在街道上，一個新的建築外觀毗鄰一級保護的Coopers大廳，其中包括一係列可移動的遮陽百葉窗，作為公共藝術作品。這些百葉窗是手工操作的，上麵有大衛·加裏克1766年在劇院發表的就職演說。選擇了“直接和非正式”門廳細節，以確定入口通道是街道和曆史悠久的禮堂之間的中介。
On the street, a new facade abuts the Grade I-listed Coopers’ Hall, incorporating a series of movable, sun-shading shutters that double as a public art work.Operated by hand, these shutters feature the text of the inaugural address given at the theatre by David Garrick in 1766.The “direct and informal” foyer detailing was chosen to create the sense that the entryway is a mediator between the street and the historic auditorium.
材料的選擇是基於它們的耐久性和可以隨時間成熟和變化的能力，木質結構由花旗鬆製成，隨著時間的推移，花旗鬆會變黑。門廳裏的橡木板條屏風被設計成弧形。在鄰近Coopers大廳內，新的工作室劇院占據了地麵和地下室，使原有的曆史牆結構暴露在外。地麵的窗戶提供自然光。一層已經被改造成一個大的公共房間，既可以作為門廳的延伸，也可以作為一個私人功能室。
“Materials have been chosen for their durability and capacity to mature and change over time,” said the practice.The wooden structure is built from Douglas Fir, which will darken over time, and an oak lath screen in the foyer is designed to bend organically.Inside the adjacent Coopers’ Hall the new studio theatre occupies the ground and basement levels, leaving the original historic wall structure exposed. Ground-level windows provide natual light.the first floor has been converted back into a grand public room, able to act as either an extension of the foyer or a private function room.
