英文名称：America Owensboro Davis County Convention Center

位置：美国

设计公司：Trahan Architects

这是由Trahan Architects设计的欧文斯伯勒—戴维斯县会议中心。欧文斯伯勒位于肯塔基州中北部的戴维斯县。这里曾是肖尼市的一部分，白人殖民者曾于18世纪首次登陆这里。随着时间的推移，该城市在内战中成为了重要的河港战略地位，直至今天。该城市的环境孕育了美国的蓝草音乐，这种音乐流派起于1930~40年代，持续至今。该会议中心位于俄亥俄河岸，场地过去是一所酒店，曾举办过许多知名歌手表演活动。为了容纳多样化的活动、项目与盛事，并提供重要的经济发展工具，该城市计划新建一座会议中心，包括40000多平方英尺的展览空间、30000平方英尺的会议空间与公共大堂，以及服务配套设施等。

Owensboro is the county seat of Daviess County in north-central Kentucky. Originally part of Shawnee territory, white settlers first arrived there in the 1700s. Over time the city played a role in the Civil War era, serving as an important river port, which continues to this day. The city’s environs gave birth to the Bluegrass sound in American music, starting in the 1930s and 40s, continuing on through today.

The site of the new convention center on the Ohio River bank was previously occupied by the Executive Inn which accommodated performances by many of the most popular singers at the time. To serve this wide range of activities, programs and events, as well as to provide an important economic development tool, the city undertook the development of a new convention center which includes over 40,000 sf of exhibition space, nearly 30,000 sf of meeting space and extensive public lobbies, as well as service and support facilities.Organized on two levels with the halls at grade and the meeting and banquet facilities above, the complex acts as a beacon on the River, signaling the extraordinary ambitions of this community. The exhibition halls and meeting facilities are distinguished by views out to the River while the lobbies overlook the historic downtown.

Set in a newly developed riverside park, the facility will join a recently completed performing arts center and an expanded Bluegrass Museum honoring the city’s remarkable history of public amenities unusual in communities of this scale.Product Description. The vertically brushed finishes on anodized aluminum panels on the exterior refer to woodgrain on the tobacco barns. "It was a move we chose from a finish standpoint to keep the exterior tight, taught and smooth," says Brad McWirther, Design Director at Trahan Architects. "We tried to create this smooth, vertical finish that would allow the building to feel like these vertical panels are very similar to the vertical woodgraining of the barns. When the sun hits them, there's this vertical reflection, very similar to some of those woodgrains that you see on the tobacco barns."
