架构师提供的文本描述。全球领袖

Text description provided by the architects. A Global Leader

一个总部设在法国的合同研究组织，在巴黎、伦敦和蒙特利尔设有办事处，战略性地寻求建立一个北美总部。这位建筑师开创了未来城市发展的先河，在新泽西州纽瓦克大学高地科学园为该研究机构的总体规划的第一阶段工作。在该项目的初步阶段，确保实验室、药房和临床设施运作的机密性在建筑物的设计、布局和总体构想中至关重要。

A contract research organization, based in France with offices in Paris, London and Montreal, strategically sought a North American Headquarters. Setting a precedent for future city development, the architect was engaged for the first phase of the research organization’s master plan located in the University Heights Science Park of Newark, NJ. In the project’s preliminary stages ensuring the confidentiality of the laboratory, pharmacy and clinical facility operations was paramount in the building’s design, layout and overall conception.

两个联锁平面

Two Interlocking Planes

建筑师对这座五层建筑的基本概念是由两个联锁面组成，一个平面主要由实心的黑色砖块和匹配的灰浆组成，另一个平面则包含一个破裂的幕墙。一条金属板带将两个平面连接在一起，代表了化学和科学的流体性质。这条金属丝带从建筑物的私人侧面开始，形成了天篷，并继续在建筑物内继续，在那里它成为大厅的天花板。它出现在公共方面，作为前厅的框架。

The architect’s basic concept of the five-story building is formed by two interlocking planes; one plane comprises primarily of solid black brick with matching mortar and the other plane encompasses a fritted curtain wall. A ribbon of metal panels ties the two planes together and represents the fluid nature of chemistry and science. This metal ribbon begins on the private side of the building, forming the canopy, and continues inside the building, where it becomes the lobby ceiling. It emerges on the public side as a frame for the vestibule. 

对比式建筑设计

A Building Design of Contrast 

虽然70，000 GSF建筑被认为是适度的，建筑师的灵感设计了一个标志性的结构，反映了高质量的性质和最先进的临床实践。这一设计概念还纳入了开放和限制之间的平衡行为-这两种截然不同的方法都得到了仔细的考虑。

Although the 70,000 GSF building is considered modest, the architect was inspired to design an iconic structure that reflects the high quality nature and state-of-the-art clinical practices. This design concept also incorporated a balancing act between the open versus restricted - both contrasting approaches were carefully contemplated.

这位建筑师的动机是，该研究机构希望与客户建立持久的关系，并拥有一个具有影响力和活力的北美总部。选择了一个更高的五层建筑，用较小的板块，相对狭长的地板使自然光能深入室内空间。这个设计也给了建筑一种壮观的感觉，在其城市环境中是合适的。

The architect was motivated by the research organization’s desire to build enduring relationships with clients and to have an impactful and dynamic North American Headquarters. A taller five-story building with smaller plates was opted for and the relatively narrow long floors allow natural light to penetrate deeply into the interior spaces. This design also gave the building a feeling of grandeur that was appropriate within its urban setting.

The Ground Floor

有了一堵连续的玻璃墙，阳光穿透了两层楼的大厅.一座大楼梯通向一座连接二楼两侧的桥梁，而大楼的上层则似乎悬停在这个透明的底座之上。两层楼的大厅贯穿整个大楼，连接着两个外部广场。

With a continuous glazed wall, sunlight penetrates into the two-story lobby. A grand staircase accesses a bridge connecting the two sides of the second floor and the upper floors of the building appear to hover above this transparent base. The two-story lobby runs through the building, connecting two exterior plazas.

多重影响流

Multiple Streams of Influence

尽管该研究机构提出了监管要求，但由此产生的结构与传统的结构相去甚远。建筑方法最大限度地发挥了建筑的影响，大堂设计给游客和客户留下了一个深刻的印象：研究机构的专业知识、最先进的实践和在竞争激烈的生命科学行业中提供的尖端服务。

Despite the regulatory demands brought on by the research organization, the resulting structure is far from conventional. The architectural approach has maximized the building’s impact and the lobby design leaves visitors and clients with a strong impression of the research organization’s expertise, state-of-the-art practices and cutting-edge services within the highly-competitive life sciences industry.
