中國愛樂樂團音樂廳由國家發改委批準建造，屬國家新聞出版廣電總局重點工程，位于北京朝陽區工人體育場東門南側，占地11600平方米，建筑面積26587平方米，建成后將成為坐落于北京的世界級專業音樂廳。
The China Philharmonic Orchestra concert hall was approved by the National Development and Reform Commission, and the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film, and Television of the People’s Republic of China considers it a high-priority national project. Located at the south side of the Workers Stadium East Gate in Beijing’s Central Business District, the concert hall covers a site of 11,600 sqm, and has a total floor area of 26,587 sqm
地處繁華的三里屯商區，MAD希望將這座音樂廳設計成為一座大隱于市的文化殿堂。 “她就好像是鬧市中的一處圣潔的花園。” 建筑師馬巖松介紹，“在你進入音樂廳的那一刻，她就把你帶到了另一個時空。” 為了達到音樂廳極高的聲學效果，聲學大師豐田泰久將操刀音樂廳內部的聲場設計。他曾主持過洛杉磯華特迪斯尼音樂廳、巴黎愛樂音樂廳、東京三得利音樂廳等世界級音樂廳的聲學設計。
Ma Yansong envisions the concert hall as a hidden gem and a peaceful cultural escape from the city. “We wanted to create a pure and sacred oasis in the midst of the bustling city,” says Ma Yansong, founder & principal partner of MAD Architects. “From the moment you enter the building, you will be taken to another time and space.” To ensure the design also meets the highest standards for classical music performances, the acoustic design was developed by Yasuhisa Toyota, whom has designed world-class concert venues such as the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, the Philharmonie de Paris, and the Suntory Hall in Japan.

音樂廳主體建筑被一片綠色盎然的樹林和南側的荷花池圍繞，半透明的帷幕隱約浮現于叢林之中。當人們穿過城市和叢林，會被這片像玉一般的白潤圣潔的光所吸引。進入音樂廳的大廳，演出開始之前，人們好像置身于一個會呼吸的光的空間裝置；在白天，自然光則穿過白色半透明的外墻，漫射到這個簡潔的空間中，來自城市的觀眾在這里好像經過了光的沐浴，準備開始一段關于對音樂，對自然，和自我發現的旅程。
The building is surrounded by a lotus pond and lush greenery. The translucent façade gently emerges from the landscape like a piece of jade. While walking past the building, people will be attracted to its soft glow. Once inside the lobby, audience members will feel like they are entering an installation of light and space. Daylight is diffused through the translucent white curtain wall into the lucid space. “Audiences will experience a transition from an urban setting to one of music and nature, preparing them for a journey of self-discovery,” says Ma Yansong.

進入1600座的主音樂廳，內部采用了環抱葡萄園式的空間布局。音樂廳木質池座呈自然形態層層環繞跌落，而頂棚的白色聲音反射板呈現出蓮花瓣一樣的布局，自然光從天空灑下，觀眾好像置身于一朵含苞待放的花朵之中。當音樂奏起，光線和環繞投影可隨之變換，猶如置身山水自然之中。這是一個極端抽象的空間，通過光和影像將觀眾帶到任何一個遠離城市和喧囂的場景。
The 1,600-seat main concert hall is laid out in a vineyard style, with the seating surrounding the stage; rising up in serried rows in the manner of the sloping terraces. Its wooden lakes organically surround the stage while the white sound reflection petals on the ceiling are designed to resemble the segments of a lotus flower. The natural light coming from above will make audience members feel as if they are in the center of a blooming flower. Lighting and visualizations can be projected onto the white petals and choreographed to match the musical performances. MAD has created an abstracted space that allows the audiences to escape from the city and retreat into various sceneries.

MAD建筑事務所設計的中國愛樂樂團音樂廳將在近期開工，預計2019年建成。 她是一座在繁華的都市中追求東方意境的音樂廳， 挑戰了傳統音樂廳作為西方古典音樂表演的固定空間形態，希望營造出一個關于人、自然和音樂相遇的地方。
The China Philharmonic Hall designed by MAD Architects will begin construction later this year, and is expected to be completed in 2019. Rooted in Eastern philosophy, the China Philharmonic Hall aims to create a new formula for concert hall design and introduce a space within the busy city that promotes conversations between people, nature, and music.
