The Academy Awards green room is reimagined
Tapped to（开发、利用） create this year's Oscar green room（演员休息室） at the Dolby Theatre, David Rockwell conceived it as a modern urban loft that would act as a calm eye in the stressful storm of the Academy Awards.
The Architectural Digest green room for the 2014 Oscars was designed by David Rockwell. (February 26, 2014)
For Academy Award winners and presenters, the Architectural Digest green room is a backstage oasis of pampering calm（pampering calm，搭配不错）, a place where the stars can perch on bar stools without rumpling（弄皱） their clothes and steady themselves with a cup of coffee or a cocktail.
“And there has always been a place for people to smoke,” said David Rockwell, who was the original architect of the Dolby Theatre in 2001 (when it was known as the Kodak) and created sets for the 2009 Oscar broadcast. “It was the ·.” Tapped by Architectural Digest to create this year's green room, Rockwell has transformed that loading dock（卸货码头） into a California garden room that adjoins（临近、接连） the green room, a first for the Academy Awards.
The garden room is enclosed（围起来。enclosure也可以是动物园围栏的意思，参见电影“We bought a zoo”） by woven willow wall panels, enlivened（使活泼） with a Mediterranean-accented（带xxx腔调的，带xxx色彩的。这里就是地中海风情） floor made from Medina cement tiles（cement tile 水泥瓦） by Exquisite Surfaces in Los Angeles and filled with up-lighted tropical plants and a canopy（天蓬、华盖） of string lights.
“It will look like dusk（黄昏） has ended and cocktail hour has begun,” Rockwell said. (And smokers will be welcome.) The furniture is an assortment of brass（黄铜） tables, vintage iron and leather chairs by midcentury Los Angeles designer Cleo Baldon, Brown Jordan lounge chairs and sofas in teak（柚木） with a gray finish and cushions made from Rockwell's Spotlight collection for Jim Thompson Fabrics.
The designer conceived the adjoining green room “as a more contemporary urban loft environment” with simple but dramatic architectural details. White-stained joists（托梁） lend a California post-and-beam（post是柱子，beam是梁子。梁柱 = =） Modernist feeling to the ceilings. A bank of backlighted windows — reminiscent（使人怀旧的，联想到...的） of shoji （<日>障子，日本房屋用的纸糊木框）screens — is punctuated（加强，punctuate是加标点符号的、打断的意思） by vintage cast-iron factory columns.
Chandeliers and ceiling fixtures by Hudson Furniture and lamps from Circa Lighting add soft light. “The level of anxiety is pretty high” at the Oscars, Rockwell said. “And if there's one place where you want to look good in a mirror, that's the green room.”
To help keep the mood light, Rockwell worked with Oscar-winning actress Susan Sarandon, who helped select artwork for the walls, pulling classic black-and-white images from the academy's archives. “Susan liked the madcap（狂妄的。名词是狂妄的人，多指女子） screwball（曲线球、怪人） comedies from the '30s and '40s, like ‘Bringing Up Baby,' ‘Born Yesterday' and ‘It Happened One Night.'”
The furnishings evoke a different era: Rockwell paired vintage midcentury loungers with petrified（目瞪口呆的，petrify是吓呆的意思） wood and bronze side tables and a contemporary zebrawood（斑木树，圭亚那产） and leather club chair, sofa and ottoman（无拷贝和扶手的长短椅） by Hudson Furniture. The firm also produced a custom brass bar and cocktail cart inspired by midcentury furniture designer Paul McCobb and crafted leather and zebrawood bar stools that seem to melt into gleaming bronze bases.
“It's minimal but intentional ornamentation,” Rockwell said, “like putting on really great shoes.”
Rockwell designed the palette（调色板） — neutral colors and earthy materials such as brass, bronze, stone and highly patterned wood — to be warm and inviting, “not overtly feminine, but not like a men's club,” he added. And the designer's low-key luxury serves another purpose.
“The Oscars have become a ritualized event for fashion, so the green room needs to be a setting that shows off the jewels,” he said with a laugh. “Competing with the colors of the gowns is a real no-no.”
