Vidyasirimedhi科学和技术研究所（VISTEC）的观察塔项目位于罗勇省。VISTEC是旺苍地区各机构的研发园区，是更大的东部经济创新走廊项目（EECi）的一部分。6层高的观景塔在顶层有一个全景观景台，可以毫无遮拦地看到周围的旺苍山谷，包括整个VISTEC和整个EECi园区。
The Observation Tower project at Vidyasirimedhi Institute of Science and Technology (VISTEC) is located in Rayong province. VISTEC is a research & development campus for various agencies in the Wangchan area and is part of a larger Eastern Economic Corridor of Innovation project (EECi). The 6-story-high Observation Tower has a panoramic viewing deck on the top floor, affording unobstructed views of the surrounding Wangchan Valley, including the entire VISTEC and the whole EECi campus.
主要概念是为学院创造一个标志性的观景塔。矗立在一个山丘上的郁郁葱葱的植被上，俯瞰整个广袤的大地，设计的目的是创造一个既能与周围环境相融合又能增强其效果的结构。
The main concept was to create an iconic Observation Tower for the institute. Standing atop the lush vegetation on one of the hills overlooking the entire expanse, the design aimed to create a structure that both blends in with and enhances its surroundings.
为了尽量减少塔楼的结构占地面积，设计了一个由露天楼梯环绕的结构桁架和电梯核心，以支持大型的观察平台。绕着平台的周边行走，游客可以看到当地的360°风景。通过悬臂式楼梯，我们优化了项目中的材料用量，同时通过每层的不同视角，创造了一个引人入胜的动态体验，登上了观景台。
To minimize the structural footprint of the tower, a structural truss and elevator core encircled by open-air stairs are designed to support the large observation deck. Walking around the perimeter of the platform, visitors are treated to a 360° view of the locale. By cantilevering the stairs, we optimized the amount of material used in the project, while at the same time creating an engaging and dynamic experience ascending to the observation deck through the different perspective angles from each level.
由于时间紧迫，我们选择了钢架结构和现成的材料，如甲板材料的混凝土板，以加快施工进度。塔内填充了裸露的成品玻璃纤维强化混凝土，以减轻观察塔的重量。木质天花板和石砖，与混凝土饰面相辅相成，安装在主观景台和底层入口处，为公共区域带来温暖和优雅。主屋顶和观景台地板的弧形边缘被设计用来软化气势宏大的钢结构的坚实外观。通过使用对比鲜明的材料、颜色选择和体量处理，我们创造了一个与周围环境和谐的标志性建筑作品。
Expediting the construction due to time constraints, we opted for a steel frame structure and ready-made materials, such as concrete planks for the deck material. The tower is cladded with bare finished Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete to reduce the weight of the observation tower. Wood ceilings and stone tiles, complementing the concrete finishes, are installed at the main observation deck and ground floor entrance, to bring warmth and elegance to the public area. Curved edges of the main roof and observation deck floor were designed to soften the solid appearance of the imposing steel structure. By using contrasting materials, color selection, and massing treatment, we created a work of iconic architecture that stands in harmony with the surrounding context.
