架构师提供的文本描述。卡扎(卡洛斯阿奈兹建筑师)，一家总部位于布鲁克林的建筑和设计公司，在哥伦比亚波哥大、秘鲁利马和菲律宾马尼拉设有办事处，很高兴宣布位于马尼拉市中心的城市中心大厦即将开幕。随着本月完工，这座27层高的混合用途建筑将包括三层商业零售和餐饮空间，同时也是几家知名国际公司的办公场所。

Text description provided by the architects. CAZA (Carlos Arnaiz Architects), a Brooklyn-based architecture and design firm with offices in Bogotá, Colombia; Lima, Peru; and Manila, Philippines, is pleased to announce the opening of the City Center Tower located in downtown metro Manila. With construction completed this month, the 27-story-tall mixed-use building will feature three floors of commercial retail and dining space while also serving as the corporate offices for several prominent international companies.

Caza的设计试图挑战标准公司办公楼的一般核心和外壳设计，引入令人耳目一新的意想不到的几何图形，为用户提供新的体验。通过在每一层的水平轴上插入一系列同心圆，塔的外部立面将立方体的结构形状与波浪的自由形态有机地结合在一起。由此产生的视觉效果激发了效率和创新，同时保持了一种轻松的游戏感。

CAZA’s design sought to defy the average core and shell design of standard corporate office buildings by introducing refreshingly unexpected geometries that produce new experiences for users. By infusing a series of concentric circles extended across the horizontal axes of each floor, the tower’s exterior façade marries the structured shape of a cube with the free-form organic pattern of a wave. The resulting visual impact elicits efficiency and innovation while retaining a sense of light playfulness.

“在过去的15年里，由于BPO行业的到来，菲律宾的办公室开发经历了不可想象的爆炸，”CAZA建筑公司的首席和创始人卡洛斯·阿奈兹说。“作为建筑师，我们正在寻找这种新的社会文化范式的表达方式。城市中心大厦可能是菲律宾首批代表工作场所性质变化的项目之一，在这里，大自然和办公室在这个24小时的周期中相互作用，突显了BPO办公环境如何运作的现实。“

“In the last fifteen years, office development in the Philippines has experienced an unthinkable explosion due to the arrival of the BPO industry,” remarks Carlos Arnaiz, Principal and Founder of CAZA Architects. “As architects, we are searching for an expression of this new sociocultural paradigm. The City Center Tower could be one of the first projects in the Philippines that represents the changing nature of the workplace, where nature and offices interact in this 24-hour cycle—accentuating the reality of how the BPO office environment operates.”

游客们受到一个通风明亮的双层大厅的欢迎，该大厅被商业零售空间的两层限制，使塔成为一个既可到达又能被公共活动激活的活泼的中心。在这些零售区域上方是宽敞的高架停车场，与一个功能性冷却塔保持一致，旨在容纳一个被动冷却系统，该系统对菲律宾大都市的热带热度作出反应。在第五层，在零售区和停车场的顶部，这间屋顶餐厅俯瞰着大楼附近的公园，有一个宽敞的阳台区域，其中有一个城市海滩，有一个涉水池、吊床和休息区。

Visitors are welcomed to the tower by an airy and illuminated double-height lobby that is circumscribed by two floors of commercial retail space, establishing the tower as a vivacious center that is both accessible and enlivened by public activity. Hovering above these retail sections are spacious elevated parking areas that align with a functional cooling tower, designed to accommodate a passive cooling system that is responsive to the tropical heat of the Philippine metropolis. On the fifth floor, atop the retail zone and parking areas, the lofted rooftop restaurant overlooks the building’s adjacent park with an expansive balcony area that will feature an urban beach with a wading pool, hammocks, and lounge spaces.

在地下的五层商业空间之上是为该大楼的多国租户提供服务的公司办公室。高层企业区的每一层都设计成一个同心圆的图案，层叠在一起，构成了外观上的标志性波纹外观，使这座独特的塔楼与众不同。这种圆形图案逐渐形成了一系列阳台和凸起的金属聚居区，为办公空间提供了一种郁郁葱葱的绿色过度增长-传统上是封闭的，内部也是如此-吸引员工向外看，并将自己定位在马尼拉都市而又郁郁葱葱的景观中。

Above the five stories of commercial space at the ground level are the corporate offices accommodating the building’s multinational tenants. Each floor of the upper-level corporate zone is designed with a concentric circular pattern, layering together to compose the exterior’s iconic wave-like façade that distinguishes the unique tower. The circular patterning gradually forms a series of balconies and bulging metallic mullions that provide the office spaces—which are traditionally closed and inwardly-focused—with a lush green overgrowth that invites employees to look outwards towards the vista and orient themselves within the metropolitan yet verdant landscape of Manila.

Among the notable tenants of the new building are Wallace, an American human resources firm; Globe Telecom, the largest Philippine telecommunications syndicate; the inaugural Philippines-based office for Cardinal Health, an American healthcare company; and Google’s headquarters for the Philippines.
