Avant-garde Metropolis · Cultural Center Exterior

A cultural center in a city center. Three volumes with different angles interpenetrate, clad in folded metal panels and fair-faced concrete. The tallest volume cantilevers over the entrance plaza. A diagonal cut on the facade reveals the grand staircase and people inside. In front is a paved plaza with pedestrians passing through, and in the background are typical office buildings. Avoid: making the building a symmetrical classical cultural palace, having a sparse surrounding environment without urban context, making the interpenetration of volumes unclear, using large glass curtain walls that blur the form.

一座城市中心的文化中心。三個角度不同的量體互相穿插,包覆著折板金屬與清水混凝土,最高的量體懸挑越過入口廣場;立面上一道斜向切口露出內部的大階梯與人群。前方是鋪面廣場與穿越的行人,背景是一般的辦公大樓。避免:把建築做成對稱的古典文化殿堂、周邊環境空曠沒有城市脈絡、量體的穿插看不出來、使用大面玻璃帷幕讓造型變得模糊。
