Student Experience Minervahaven(SEM)是阿姆斯特丹一个不断变化的码头区的城市活动者。SEM的设计是为了满足国际学生对城市中长期住宿的日益增长的需求。该建筑群有许多专门针对国际学生的设施。除了近600个房间外,它还提供各种功能:咖啡吧、”洗衣吧”、健身房、休息室、学习、会议和商业空间,以及一个轻型街边自行车设施。这些功能都位于底层。

Student Experience Minervahaven (SEM) is an urban activator in a changing dockland area of Amsterdam. SEM is designed to meet the growing demand for extended stay accommodation in the city by international students. The complex has a number of facilities specifically aimed at international students. Besides the almost 600 rooms, it provides a variety of functions: a coffee bar, a ‘laundry bar’, gym, lounge, study, conference and commercial spaces, and a light street-level bike facility. These functions are all located on the ground floor.

通过这种方式,SEM提供了一个社会安全和愉快的居住地点,以及一个非正式的环境,使学生可以很容易地相互接触。一个半沉的地下停车场创造了一个分层,区分了学生的集体空间。原材料的组合与室内细致的细节的轻触,使居民感到安心。多功能的基座,面向一个无障碍的绿色内花园,也有助于营造愉快和放松的氛围。围绕这个内部花园的各种功能都是可见的。因此,它是一个邀请学生们在那里消磨时间并相互交流的地方。

In this way, SEM offers a socially safe and enjoyable residential location and an informal environment in which students can easily make contact with one another. A half-sunken underground car park creates a split level and differentiates the collective spaces for the students. The combination of raw materials with the light touch of the meticulous details of the interior makes the residents feel at ease. The multifunctional plinth, orientated towards an accessible green inner garden, also contributes to the pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. The various functions grouped around this inner garden are visible. It is thus a place that invites the students to spend time there and to meet one another.

以前在Minervahaven的码头活动正逐渐为越来越多的国际媒体和时尚公司让路。SEM以其功能和新的用户激活了这个街区。除了它的社会学方法,该建筑在可持续能源领域也有创新。目前,SEM是欧洲最具可持续性的学生综合体之一。可持续发展的整体方法赢得了BREEAM优秀证书。

The former dock activities in the Minervahaven are gradually making way for a growing number of international media and fashion companies. SEM activates the neighbourhood with its functions and new users. Besides its sociological approach, the building is innovative in the field of sustainable energy. At the moment SEM is one of the most sustainable student complexes in Europe. The integral approach to sustainability won the BREEAM Excellent certificate.

能源是由应用在建筑群朝南、朝西和朝东的光伏板产生的,而屋顶则留给居民自由使用。Solarlab公司定制设计和生产的面板,安装了选择性的玻璃片,水平智能和弹性,以及自清洁的非眩光表面,以确保长寿命和高效率。Kromatix涂层只反射特定的光线频率,将侧面的高效率与微妙而生动的色彩感觉相结合。

Energy is generated by photovoltaic panels applied to the sides of the complex facing south, west, and east, leaving the roof free for the residents to use. Solarlab has custom-designed and produced panels that are fitted with a selective sheet of glass, level intelligence, and resiliency, as well as a non-glare surface that is self-cleaning to ensure long life and high efficiency. The Kromatix coating only reflects certain light frequencies, combining a high efficiency on the sides with a subtle and lively colour sensation.

SEM的体量呈方形,通过交错的屋顶露台从第四层到第九层。在这个地方,大量的房间可以看到邻近的Minervahaven水面。建筑的内环和外环在高度上相差一层,并采用不同的材料建造。这一细微差别有助于进一步区分体量。

The volume of SEM is square in shape and runs from the fourth to the ninth storey via staggered roof terraces. A large number of rooms on this site have a view of the adjacent water of the Minervahaven. The inner and outer rings of the building differ one story in height and are constructed with different materials. This nuance contributes to further differentiation of the volume.

最后,不寻常的屋顶景观在SEM的外观和使用方面发挥了很大作用。屋顶上的人行道将花园、体育设施、集体和私人露台相互连接起来。有了这个屋顶,这个综合体给了城市额外的集体和社会空间。作为一个整体,SEM是一个多面体的建筑。它是一个坚固的城市街区,舒适的居住环境和能源机器,但最重要的是,它是一个汇集了人类、社会和城市品质的东西。

Finally, the unusual roof landscape plays a large part in the appearance and use of SEM. A rooftop footpath connects gardens, sports facilities, and collective and private terraces with one another. With this roof, the complex gives the city extra collective and social space. As a whole, SEM is a multi-faceted building. It is a robust urban block, comfortable residential environment, and energy machine, but above all, it is something that brings together human, social and urban qualities.
