苏珊-瓦基尔健康大楼迎来了第一学期的学生,它将悉尼大学苏珊-瓦基尔护理和助产学院、悉尼医学院中央临床学院和悉尼健康科学学院以及图书馆和医学与健康学院的其他组成部分聚集在一起。这座21,500平方米的建筑由Billard Leece Partnership (BLP)和Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R)设计,位于悉尼大学新的健康区,靠近皇家阿尔弗雷德王子医院和查尔斯-帕金斯中心,地理位置优越。这种临床、教学和研究功能的整合,成为医疗设施的新模式,将教育和实践统一起来。

Welcoming its first semester of students, the Susan Wakil Health Building brings together the University of Sydney’s Susan Wakil School of Nursing and Midwifery, the Central Clinical School of the Sydney Medical School and the Sydney School of Health Sciences along with the Library and other components of the Faculty of Medicine and Health. Designed by Billard Leece Partnership (BLP) and Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R), this 21,500 m2 building is located within the University of Sydney’s new health precinct, which is optimally positioned near the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and the Charles Perkins Centre. This consolidation of clinical, teaching, and research functions serves as a new model for health facilities, unifying education and practice.

DS+R的合伙人Benjamin Gilmartin很高兴地庆祝公司在澳大利亚的第一座竣工建筑。”我们的设计为大学、医院和查尔斯-帕金斯中心创造了一个新的共同点,同时尊重该地作为聚集地的历史意义。景观上升到包括研究和学习的共享设施,分支成一个立体的开放空间网络,从内部到外部的每个层面都连接在一起。这个网络的核心是上瓦基尔花园–对校园四合院的多重价值和动态重塑。苏珊-瓦基尔健康大楼上层容积内的一个’裂口’全年将光线引入花园,而其交错的循环则成为内部学术工作场所和临床空间之间的连接组织。”

Benjamin Gilmartin, a Partner at DS+R, was thrilled to celebrate the firm’s first completed building in Australia. “Our design creates a new common ground for the University, the Hospital, and the Charles Perkins Centre, while respecting the site’s historic significance as a gathering place. The landscape rises to encompass shared facilities for research and learning, branching out into a three-dimensional network of open spaces connected at every level from inside to outside. At the heart of this network is the Upper Wakil Garden — a multivalent and dynamic reinvention of the campus quad. A ‘cleave’ within the upper volume of the Susan Wakil Health Building draws light down into the Garden throughout the year, while its interlacing circulation acts as connective tissue between academic workplaces and clinical spaces within.”

参观者在一个开放的前庭受到欢迎,前庭设有凹槽砂岩座椅和一条倾斜的景观小径。穿过苏珊-瓦基尔卫生大楼的主入口,光线充足的三层高空间,宽大的楼梯横跨室内外,连接主入口和上瓦基尔花园。研讨会室、诊所、工作空间、康复健身房和一个350个座位的演讲剧场都接入了cleave的非正式学习空间网络。通过一连串的室内外非正式协作区激活,这个中央中庭最大限度地实现了多学科之间的互动。

Visitors are welcomed by an open forecourt featuring alcove sandstone seating and a sloping landscape path. Through the main entrance of the Susan Wakil Health Building, light-filled, triple-height space with generous stairs straddles interior and exterior, connecting the main entry to Upper Wakil Garden. Seminar rooms, clinics, workspaces, a rehabilitation gym, and a 350-seat lecture theater are plugged into the cleave’s network of informal learning spaces. Activated by a cascade of indoor and outdoor informal collaborative zones, this central atrium maximizes interaction between multiple disciplines.

“这栋建筑成功和长寿的关键在于它与自然的设计原则–吸引光线、景观和通风,让整个设施在视觉上保持透明,设计上强调楼梯而非电梯,以实现积极的循环和社交–创造一个健康的工作场所和未来的学习场所,”BLP校长Raj Senanayake说。
苏珊-瓦基尔卫生大楼外立面的物质性表达了其独特的项目组织。教学空间和工作场所的上部浮动体量被一个高性能的遮阳屏所覆盖,具有垂直的节奏,框住了校园和城市以外的景色。开放、多孔的底层的透明性由简单的幕墙玻璃系统表达。在裙楼,水平的陶瓷板和铝制屏风让人联想到石头,唤起了下面的坚实和地层的提升。

“The key to success and longevity of this building is its principles of designing with nature – drawing light, views, and ventilation, allowing visual transparency across the facilities, designed for active circulation and socialisation with an emphasis on stairs over lifts – creating a healthy workplace and a place of learning of the future,” says Raj Senanayake, Principal, BLP.
The materiality of Susan Wakil Health Building’s façade expresses its distinct program organization. The upper floating mass of teaching spaces and workplaces is clad with a high-performance shading screen with a vertical rhythm, framing views to the campus and city beyond. The transparency of the open, porous ground floor is expressed by a simple curtain wall glazing system. At the podium, horizontal ceramic panels and aluminum screens reminiscent of stone evoke solidity and the lifted strata of the earth below.

苏珊-瓦基尔卫生大楼位于两条历史上对加迪加尔人有重要意义的水道的交汇处,被设计成景观的延伸,体现了大学的Wingara Mura设计原则。阿卡迪亚景观建筑公司将Gadigal Ground设计成对治疗循环的诠释,激起身体、心灵和灵魂的悸动,以反映Gadigal人通过参与所有人类感官来治疗的方法。该设计赞美了场地作为会议中心的起源,产生了一个从校园各个角落进入上瓦基尔花园的人行道网络。它的阴影花园、露台、壁架和路径将把学习、思考和社会交流的空间延伸到户外。水从Upper Wakil流向Lower Wakil,并向校园网络的其他地方流去。
Raj Senanayake说,两家公司之间的国际合作是成功的,2017年的早期竞争阶段为获胜的设计成果树立了很高的期望–“我们在一个非常富有成效的全天候工作室内,在墨尔本、悉尼和纽约工作,有一个充满活力和吸引力的团队环境。在很多方面,这种环境促成了对地方和建筑类型的独特反应,成为了获胜方案。同时,我们不得不协商解决早期在线协作平台的挑战,现在这些平台已经成为建筑日常实践的一部分。”
苏珊-瓦基尔卫生大楼是由苏珊和艾萨克-瓦基尔基金会向悉尼大学捐赠的3500万美元所促成的。

Located at the intersection of two waterways historically significant for the Gadigal people, the Susan Wakil Health Building was designed as an extension of the landscape, embodying the University’s Wingara Mura design principles. Arcadia Landscape Architecture has designed Gadigal Ground as an interpretation of the cycle of healing, stirring the body, mind and soul to reflect the Gadigal people’s approach to healing through the engagement of all the human senses. The design celebrates the site’s origins as a meeting hub, generating a network of pedestrian pathways from all corners of the campus into the Upper Wakil Garden. Its shaded gardens, terraces, ledges, and paths will extend the spaces of learning, reflection, and social exchange into the outdoors. Water cascades from Upper Wakil to Lower Wakil and down towards the rest of the campus network.
Raj Senanayake says the international collaboration between the two firms was successful with the early competition phase in 2017 setting up high aspirations for a winning design outcome – “We had an energetic and engaging team environment within a very productive round-the-clock studio working across Melbourne, Sydney, and New York. In many ways, this environment contributed to the unique response to place and building type that became the winning scheme. At the same time, we had to negotiate the challenges of early online collaboration platforms that have now become part of the everyday practice of architecture.”
The Susan Wakil Health Building was made possible by a $35 million gift from the Susan and Isaac Wakil Foundation to the University of Sydney.
