一个物质上简单但结构上独特的建筑。

这个建筑委托是通过埃德蒙顿市在2011年举行的国际设计竞赛获得的。支撑我们参赛作品的基本方法之一是在材料选择上采取综合的环境可持续性方法。我们的概念是参考场地上现有的历史元素(一个旋转木马和一个音乐台),在这种情况下,是一个城市公园。

A building that is materially simple but structurally unique.

This building commission was awarded through an International Design Competition held by the City of Edmonton in 2011. One of the fundamental approaches underpinning our competition entry was an integrated approach to environmental sustainability in the choice of materials. Our concept was to make reference to historic elements (a carousel and a bandstand) existing on the site, in this case, a City Park.

考虑到周围弯曲的小路和松散的轴线关系,该建筑让人想起古典公园和亭子的标志性几何形状,这也是传统英国景观设计流派的典型。在内部,圆形亭子的核心是公共厕所和自动售货机,周围是一个小的座位区,通过其优雅的层压木桁架结构,可以看到公园的无遮挡的景色。从外面看,展馆由三角形的高反射玻璃板覆盖,有效地溶入周围环境。

The building recalls the iconic geometry of classical parks and pavilions, given the surrounding curving paths and loose axial relationships, typical of traditional English school of landscaping. Inside, the core of the circular pavilion contains public toilets and vending machines, encircled by a small seating area, offering unobstructed views of the park through its elegant, laminated timber truss structure. From the outside, the pavilion is clad with triangulated, highly reflective glass panels, effectively dissolving into its surroundings.

综合建筑立面由胶合花旗松组成,上面覆盖着密封的玻璃单元。结构和包层都是三角形的,并且是面状的。从地板到天花板的玻璃被固定在木质结构上,使人们可以从展馆中看到迷人的景色,同时在外部表现出结构网格和图案。这种镜面玻璃外墙以醒目的三角形切面反映了周围的公园和季节。

The integrated building façade is comprised of glulam Douglas Fir, overclad with sealed glazed units. Both the structure and the cladding are triangulated and faceted. Floor to ceiling glazing is fixed to the wood structure and allows captivating views out from the pavilion while expressing the structural grid and pattern on the exterior. This mirrored glass facade reflects the surrounding park and seasons in striking triangular facets.

凭借其突出的木材和混凝土成分,该馆证明了其在选择耐用、永久和永恒的材料方面的成功。设计的结构雄心强调使用粗糙的刷白层压木材,其丰富的光泽和空间安排让人想起公园历史上的标志性结构和材料,同时突出了建筑的可持续特征。建筑物其余的调色板由简单的材料组成,在特性上强调了周围的景观,在质量上确保了建筑的坚固和持久。

With its prominent wood and concrete component, the pavilion proves its success in the choice of durable, permanent, and timeless materials. The structural ambition of the design emphasises the use of rough whitewashed laminated timbers, whose rich patina and spatial arrangement recall the iconic structures and materiality of the park’s history while foregrounding the sustainable character of the building. The buildings remaining palette consists of simple materials that, in character, emphasize the surrounding landscape, and in quality, ensure a robust and enduring building.
