办公室,也许比当今任何其他单一的建筑类型,都承载着它所诞生的意识形态的真正概念。R4建筑解决了这样一个问题:规模和位置如何影响着城市内的办公室类型,以及这种环境的必要性如何在事实上完美地反映出一种非强制的、非正式的、甚至可能是自然的 “工作效率 “的环境。

The office, perhaps more than any other single building type of the present day, carries the true notions of the ideologies it is born in. The R4 building addresses the question how scale and location inform an inner-city office type, and how exactly this contextual necessity might in fact perfectly reflect anenvironment of unforced, informal, perhaps even natural “work efficiency”.

在这个过程中,这个场地,一个被遗弃的栖息地,不仅因为其位置不合适,而且被证明是越来越关键:尽管它的位置很好,但却不显眼,被无数的限制因素所支配,使得它很难被建造,在狭窄的道路和废弃的墓地之间,两边是40米高的公寓楼和其他不显眼的地方,附近有一个公园。

The site, a left-over perched between manifestations of not only for the location improbable amassment of earnest junk, proved more and more critical in this process: inconspicuous despite its prime location, dominated by a myriad of constraints that make it highly difficult to build on, between narrow road and a derelict cemetery, flanked by a 40m-tall apartment building and other nondescriptness, sights of a nearby park.

在这里,建筑的反应不可能是一团无差别的透明同质性。相反,一个合乎逻辑的反应是一个由多个不同的焦点组成的领域,这些焦点将在离散的层面上与周围的环境打交道,并在办公楼的整体中保持统一。

Here, the architectural response could hardly be one mass of undifferentiated transparent homogeneity. Instead, a logical response was a field of multiple, varying focal points that would deal with the surroundings at discrete levels as well as in the overall unity of the office building.
