概述:我们一直致力于解决客户的问题。当然,我们也常常遇到对于解决方案特别有自己想法的客户。在斯坦福大学这个项目,客户想要修建一栋新建筑,但不要破坏任何树木。我们不负使命,不仅找到了解决方案,最后设计出的效果比预想还要好非常多。

项目故事:斯坦福大学有许多事迹让其闻名于世。斯坦福的学生、研究成果以及它顶尖学府的名号。我们开始并没有想到斯坦福大学会对校园内的树木提出专门的保护。当斯坦福房地产公司决定建立一个特别的办公室时,他们是想吸引更多的创新家和行业专家,加深彼此间的往来,但树木保护也是首要任务。

不过,斯坦福大学的校园原本就是田园风格,就好像乌托邦,将学术世界和景象世界完美结合了起来。当我们的设计团队在校园进行实地考察时,置身种满橡树和松树的校园里,很容易就理解了斯坦福大学为什么不希望任何树木遭到破坏。

我们给出了最直接的方案,绕着树木设计。我们整体规划的初衷是尽可能地保留更多的树木,但很快这一初衷渐渐渗透到我们的设计概念里。不仅避免了将树木连根拔起,甚至直接将树木作为设计元素的一部分,现在不论置身在建筑的哪一端,都能见到绿树环绕。

 

The campus is known for its bucolic qualities, a sort of utopia that meshes the finest of both worlds: academics and scenery. Covered in oak groves and pines, our team had no difficulty understanding the university’s unwillingness to disrupt its trees. We simply designed around them. 

The overall site strategy started as an attempt to preserve as many trees as possible and quickly morphed into the basis for the design concept. Trees would not only remain untouched; they would become the thesis of the design, visible through all parts of the building.

Organic and wood-like panel textures are integral to the design creating a seamless experience to the surrounding landscape.   

这栋建筑的设计是技术制造与人工制作的结合,结构采用的是玻璃纤维混凝土。接着我们与一家分包商协作,对每个面板进行单独修饰,手工打造出天然的木纹质感。

在3181 Porter Drive这幢建筑完工后,与周围的景观对比的确独树一帜,但并非截然不同。再向深处走几米,可能就真分不出这幢办公楼和大橡木林了。
