A Single Volume: One Form Tells the Story

A building composed of a single white rectangular volume, with a long side exceeding fifty meters, and precise large-radius rounded corners. All functions are contained within this single form: entrances, garages, staircases, and rooftop equipment do not protrude beyond the volume, only hinted at on the facade by a recessed groove or a strip of glass. From a distance, it looks like an object placed on the landscape. Avoid: adding ancillary small volumes next to the main volume, allowing stairwells or elevator machine rooms to protrude from the roof, using combinations of multiple-scaled volumes, or having an entrance canopy protrude to form another shape.

一棟由單一白色長方體構成的建築,長邊超過五十公尺,轉角是精準的大半徑圓角。所有機能都收在這一個形裡:入口、車庫、樓梯與屋頂設備都沒有凸出量體之外,只在立面上用一道凹縫或一條玻璃帶暗示內部。從遠處看就像一個被放在地景上的物件。避免:在主量體旁邊加上附屬的小量體、讓樓梯間或電梯機房凸出屋頂、使用多種尺度的量體組合、讓入口雨遮凸出成為另一個形。
