科洛桑的地平线（Coruscant Skyline）

绘画：Doug Chiang

Somewhere high above the streets of glittering Coruscant soars the spire of the Jedi Temple. Star Wars: Episode I offers a visit to the inner sanctum of the noble Jedi Knights, the Jedi Council Chamber.
在闪耀之城科洛桑街道的上方，高高耸立着绝地神殿的尖顶。《星球大战I》使我们得以进入到高贵的绝地武士的圣地内部，参观一下绝地会议室。

绝地神殿（The Jedi Temple）

绘画：Ed Natividad

George Lucas wanted the Jedi Temple to stand out in the metropolis of the galactic capital world. He asked his art department to produce sketches of a distinctive and unique building that would suggest the special religious nature of the great structure. Ed Natividad created these visions of what the building might look like.
乔治·卢卡斯希望绝地神殿在银河系首都中也显得鹤立鸡群。他要求他的艺术部创作出一份与众不同而又独一无二的建筑草图，这座建筑要能够体现出这个伟大团体特殊的宗教信仰。艾德·耐提弗戴得创作了这些效果图，展示了这座建筑可能的外观。

尖顶（The Spire）

绘画：Ed Natividad

A crowning spire was a key feature of the design from the beginning, including a topmast and a ring of spikes.
从一开始，最高的尖顶就是设计的关键特点，其中还包括了一座中桅和一圈小尖顶。

绘画：Ed Natividad

The spire had to house a round room, with windows giving a view out over the cityscape of Coruscant. Various designs experimented with different looks and textures for the spire.
尖顶下必须是一个圆形房间，其中有窗，能让人向外眺望科洛桑的都市风景。为设计这个尖顶，人们实验了各种各样的外观和质地。

绘画：Ed Natividad

A balcony scene written into the script necessitated the addition of at least one balcony to the spire. As various design concepts were presented, the topmast and ring-of-spikes motif remained intact.
由于剧本中有一幕阳台戏，因此在尖顶中至少要有一个阳台。设计者提交了许多不同的设计概念草图，但中桅和小尖顶圈的样式一直被保留其中。

绘画：Doug Chiang

This variant sported tripartite symmetry, with three balconies spaced around the room's perimeter. Jagged angles have given way here to smoother curves and a more graceful, elegant look.
这幅不同的三重对称图，环绕房间的圆周有三个阳台空间。参差不齐的角在这里让位于更光滑的曲线，以及一种更优美、端庄的外观。

阳台（The Balcony）

绘画：J. Shuster

While the exterior continued to undergo refinement, Jay Shuster focused in on the design of the balcony, which had to be built for live action shooting in Leavesden. This design includes organic curves and a hint of Art Nouveau styling.
在建筑外观日益变得精致的同时，Jay Shuster全力进行阳台的设计，这座阳台必须建成可在里弗斯登供演员表演的舞台。这个设计包括了有机曲线和少许新艺术主义式样。

绘画：J. Shuster

This design for an anteroom/hallway also features organic curves and light texture for interest and mood.
这个为一个前厅/走廊作的设计同样有有机曲线和轻快结构，可以引起人们兴趣并调节情绪。

圣地内部（Inner Sanctum）

绘画：Doug Chiang

A ring of chairs for the Jedi masters is central to the layout of the Council Chamber itself. In this hallowed room is exchanged the wisdom of the highest of the Jedi order, their seating recalling the noble Round Table of Arthurian legend.
为绝地大师设置的一圈坐椅，是会议室布局的中心环节。在这间神圣的房间内，交换着绝地武士团最高层人士的智慧，他们的就坐形式让人回忆起亚瑟王传奇中伟大的圆桌会议。

The ring of spikes motif seen in the exterior views of the Jedi spire is picked up here in the interior view of the council chamber, which has the spikes continuing down into the room as columns.
在会议室内景里，绝地尖顶外景一圈小尖顶的设计又被提了出来，这些小尖顶向下延伸到房间里，成为圆柱。

绘画：Doug Chiang

In this version, the spike columns were given heavily textured surfaces, employing a style reminiscent of Antonio Gaudi, architect of Barcelona's Cathedral of the Holy Family in Spain. Later, George Lucas decided that the heavy texture of the spike columns was too distracting, and the set was altered to a smoother look.
在这个设计里，尖顶圆柱被赋予一种沉重粗糙的表面，使用了一种安东尼奥·古地——西班牙巴塞罗纳圣家族大教堂的建筑师——的怀旧式样。稍后，乔治·卢卡斯觉得尖顶圆柱的繁重纹理太刺眼，于是又把它们改得比较平滑了。”

That wasn't the end of the design changes, either. Color, texture, and other details can all be changed later in digital post-production by ILM.
这也不是最终的设计变化。颜色，质地和其他细节都可以在最后由ILM的后期制作进行数位调整。

可改变的设计（Fluid Design）

These sketches offer a window into an ongoing design process. "The digital revolution gives us a lot of freedom in creating and revising these designs," said Doug Chiang. "After the live action was shot at Leavesden, George decided that he wanted to change some of the architectural elements visible out the windows of the Council Chamber, and open up the view behind the Jedi masters to show more of the city. So in post-production, these set elements will be digitally taken out and replaced. And because of these interior changes, we will now need to revise the exterior design of the Jedi Temple to reflect the new additions."
这些草图使人们得以一窥进行中的设计过程。“数字革命使我们在进行创作和修改时有了更多的自由，”唐常说，“在里弗斯登拍摄完演员的表演后，乔治决定要改变会议室窗外的部分建筑结构，并且在绝地大师背后打开视线，以展示更多的城市风景。因此在后期制作时，这些镜头会被用数位技术替换掉。因为这些内景被改动了，我们现在就需要修正绝地神殿的外部设计，以表现出新的改动。”

The movie-making process has become fluid and non-linear, with design work continuing even after the wrap of principal photography's first phase. Post-production and pre-production can now proceed simultaneously with all elements subject to revision and enhancement as the project comes together.
电影制作的方法变得可以进行改变而没有界限，设计工作甚至可以延续到主要拍摄初步完成之后。现在，当计划合并后，后期制作和前期制作可以和所有基础项目同时进行修改和增加。
