在靠近沙勒罗瓦火车站的一栋闲置的工业建筑内,为高科技公司提供了新的工作空间,并按照城市网格进行布局。自主的工作空间框定了一个中央公共空间,专门用于这个工业生态系统的公共活动。在一个面临就业不足的后工业城市的背景下,这个黄金时代的空间的转换与历史上的知识一样缓慢。先进工程中心作为一个实验室,面对劳动力市场的转型,对21世纪的新工作形式进行实验。

Inside an unoccupied industrial building close to Charleroi train station, new working spaces for high-tech companies and laid out according to a city grid. Autonomous workspaces frame a central public space dedicated to the communal activities of this industrial ecosystem. In the context of a post-industrial city faced with an employment deficit, the conversion of the spaces of this golden age is as slow as that of historic know-how. The Advanced Engineering Centre acts as a laboratory to experiment with the new forms of work of the 21st century, faced with the transformation of the labor market.

城市网格可以被认为是一种文化的宇宙观的证明。因此,后工业工作空间的城市网格是高度的个人自由–创造力、创新和创业自由的形式–面对从受薪就业中继承下来的强大监管框架,这意味着对个人的控制和生产力的优化。参考罗马训练营,按照两条垂直的轴线组织,象征着秩序和工人对城市逻辑的服从。中央的共享空间通过联盟式的集体活动将工人们聚集在一起,与运动场类似。

City grids can be considered to testify to a culture’s cosmogony. As such, the urban grid of the post-industrial workspace is that of high individual liberty—in the form of creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurial freedom—confronted with a strong regulatory framework inherited from salaried employment, which implies the control of individuals and optimization of productivity. Referencing the Roman training camp, organized according to two perpendicular axes symbolizing order and the submission of the worker to the city’s logic. The central shared spaces bring the workers together through federative collective activities, similarly to the exercise ground.

平行的条状玻璃办公空间突出了工人的自主权和他们的可见性之间的矛盾。从理论上的中心观点来看,对工人执行任务的可见性的期望,受到了透明性和反射性的叠加的挑战。它们的叠加通过模糊观察为工人提供了一个喘息的机会。该项目发生在一个现有建筑的复杂结构中。嫁接到它的循环系统,它的目的是使现有的空间结构和用途更加清晰。8至12人的工作空间勾勒出公共设施,如各种会议空间,以及在工业板块中心的社区和休闲空间。

The parallel strips of glazed office spaces highlight the contradiction between workers’ autonomy and their visibility. The expectation of visibility of the workers practicing their tasks, from a theoretical central viewpoint, is challenged by an overlay of transparencies and reflections. Their overlapping offers workers a respite from observation by blurring observation. The project takes place within the complex structure of an existing building. Grafted to its circulation system, it aims at making the existing spatial structures and uses more legible. Workspaces for 8 to 12 people outline communal amenities such as various meeting spaces, as well as community and leisure spaces in the center of the industrial slab.

先进工程中心培养了工人之间的集体协作意识,以及最佳的工作和研究条件。中央空间,一个室内热带花园,提供了一个不同的社区和休闲空间,从而鼓励新形式的工作和合作。它产生了一些子空间,可以被用户用来吃午饭、开会、玩游戏或打电话。因此,非生产性活动的空间在工作空间的整体布局中占据了中心位置。

The Advanced Engineering Centre fosters a sense of collective collaboration between workers, as well as optimal work and research conditions. The central space, an indoor tropical garden, offers a different kind of community and leisure space, thus encouraging new forms of work and collaboration. It generates sub-spaces that can be appropriated by users for lunch, a meeting, a game, or a phone call. Thus spaces for unproductive activities take up a central position in the overall layout of the workspace.

该项目是完全可拆卸的,以备工业空间需要转换或拆除。每个元素都考虑到了再利用和较短的施工阶段(4个月)。工作模块是由工业存储平台组成的。这些设施是独立的,可以从工作区的屋顶进入。所有的隔断材料都可以拆开并在其他地方重新使用。源自生物的软木地板系统以及标准化的玻璃面板可以被拆卸和重新固定。

The project is entirely removable in case the industrial space needs to be converted or demolished. Each element has been considered in terms of re-use and short construction phase (4 months). The work modules are composed of industrial storage platforms. The facilities are autonomous and can be accessed from the roofs of the workspaces. All partition materials can be detached and reused elsewhere. The bio-sourced cork flooring system as well as the standardized glass panels can be disassembled and reaffixed.
