德国建筑师 Ole Scheeren 成功入围Axel Springer SE柏林总部竞赛,最终入围的另外两个公司是Rem Koolhaas/OMA, Bjarke Ingels/BIG. Axel Springer SE是德国最具影响力的媒体企业之一。 Ole Scheeren在柏林设计的60000平方米建筑呈现了和Axel Springer原办公大楼相似的形式但是又增加了富有表现力的视觉空间并使得新的大楼富有媒体公司的辨识度。 建筑与城市的文脉形成呼应。 历史上电站位于分割城市与世界的柏林墙前,同时它正处于新媒体总部的正对面。 设计师在新建筑的核心部位做了虚化的处理,使建筑上面的部分架空,这样双方在视轴线上建立概念上的统一,使得新建筑具有历史意识的象征。 A “Collaborative Cloud” forms the heart and nucleus of the building and manifests itself as the conceptual and spatial identity of the new headquarters. Identity is defined not as an object, but as space – a physical void is carved to create flexible permeable places for imagination, collaboration, and interaction. Standardized flexible work spaces are arranged along the perimeter of the facetted building envelope, which dissolve and merge into zones of informal work environments within the Cloud. “In an age where digital work can be performed anywhere, architecture takes on the critical role of bringing people together”, says Ole Scheeren. “The Collaborative Cloud not only forms an actual space of shared ideas and social interaction, but also projects its open image as a powerful gesture towards the city, reuniting a multiplicity of enterprises in a space of shared digital identity.” A diverse array of urban activities and amenities invite inhabitation and interaction with the city and surrounding public domain. The ground levels of the building form a civic base, a market-place like environment for gatherings, and a partly sunken concrete-scape offers a multi-level surface for exhibitions, film screenings and ad-hoc urban activities. A public “passage”, one of Berlin’s ubiquitous typologies, traverses the building and connects the two surrounding public plazas. An extensive garden covers the plinth level and embraces the building, while a rooftop space provides a special area for events, with an outdoor terrace offering views across the city of Berlin. Besides a series of new projects in Europe and the United States, Büro Ole Scheeren’s international portfolio includes a range of city-defining structures and cultural projects currently under construction, including the headquarters for China’s oldest art auction house near the Forbidden City in Beijing; Angkasa Raya, a 268 meter tall building of floating rectangular volumes in the heart of Kuala Lumpur; DUO, a large-scale mixed-use development recently launched in Singapore; and Mahanakhon, soon to be Bangkok’s tallest skyscraper. 项目: Axel Springer媒体新总部 |
