There’s something so satisfying about a prestigious school’s design building existing as a stunning example of architectural ability itself, which is exactly the cases at the University of Miami! Located in Coral Gables, Florida, the breathtaking Thomas P Murphy Design Studio Building by Arquitectonica serves to enable and inspire students to learn and work hard in their field in order to make their grandest visions a reality.

一所名校的设计建筑有着令人如此满意的东西，它是建筑能力本身的一个令人震惊的例子，这正是迈阿密大学的案例！位于佛罗里达州的珊瑚山墙，阿奎托尼察的托马斯·P·墨菲设计工作室大楼，使学生们能够在他们的领域学习和努力工作，使他们最宏伟的愿景成为现实。

Designed by a local firm for the University’s school of architecture, the Thomas P Murphy building was built in tribute to the father of a notable local construction company’s founder. Coastal Construction, Arquitectonica, and the architecture school at the University of Miami are no stranger to working together, so it only makes sense that the partnership resulted in something so beautiful. For example, the Arquitectonica partner in charnge of the project was also faculty at the University once upon a time, as were his parents who also originally founded his firm. The personal touch and level of care that went into this building is evident.

托马斯·P·墨菲大楼是由当地一家大学建筑学院设计的，是为了纪念当地一家著名建筑公司创始人的父亲而建造的。海岸建筑、阿奎托尼卡和迈阿密大学的建筑学院对合作并不陌生，所以这种合作关系带来了如此美丽的东西，这才是有意义的。例如，该项目的Charnge合伙人阿克托托尼卡也曾是该大学的教员，他的父母也是他的公司最初的创始人。进入这座建筑的个人触觉和关心程度是显而易见的。

The first thing you’ll notice walking towards the building, before you’ve ever even taken a step inside, is the roof. Here, a massive, wonderfully curved slab of concrete covers the study spaces and their occupants. The look of the piece seems to flow in a way that’s surprising for such a large piece of such heavy material.

你会注意到的第一件事是走向大楼，甚至连一步也没有走进去，那就是屋顶。在这里，一个巨大的，奇妙的弯曲的混凝土板覆盖研究空间和他们的居住者。这件作品的外观似乎以一种令人惊讶的方式流动，对于如此大的一块如此沉重的材料来说是令人惊讶的。

On one side, the edge of the lovely concrete wave extends past the edge of the building in order to provide shade for students studying and enjoying a break outside. It creates a covered patio area that runs alongside the floor to ceiling windows set into the walls for maximum natural light and sunshine where the students inside work.

在一边，可爱的混凝土波浪的边缘延伸到建筑物的边缘，为学生提供学习和享受户外休息的阴凉处。它创造了一个有盖的露台，沿着地板到天花板的窗户，设置在墙上，以获得最大限度的自然光和阳光，学生们在里面工作。

The apparently raw and rather minimalist appearance of the structure itself is not unintentional. Besides the way it looks rather industrially stylish instead of unfinished, the building’s unique combination of visible glass, metal, and concrete serves as a teaching tool! Professors are able to point out some basic examples of modern architectural techniques, as well as examples of solid construction and sustainability strategies, right there in the building surrounding them.

结构本身表面上的原始和极简的外观并不是无意的。除了它看起来相当工业时尚，而不是未完成，建筑独特的组合可见玻璃，金属，混凝土作为教学工具！教授们能够指出一些现代建筑技术的基本例子，以及坚实的建筑和可持续发展策略的例子，就在他们周围的建筑里。

The building itself is nestled in the centre of campus, right at an intersection where a pathway connects students to the Metrorail. Despite its quite busy location, it doesn’t appear crowded or unwelcoming; instead, it provides some sunny outdoor seating on its grassy plot on nice days.

这座建筑本身就坐落在校园中心，就在一个十字路口，那里有一条小路连接着学生和地铁。尽管它的位置相当繁忙，但它并不显得拥挤或不受欢迎；相反，它提供了一些阳光明媚的户外座位，在它的草地上的好天气。

Inside, a lobby extends right into an open concept student area intended for work, study, and group meetings. Uniquely shaped tables and chairs provide differently structured but comfortable spaces that serve all kinds of purposes, depending on the students’ needs. Throughout the rest of the space, red curtains hang from the high ceiling, letting students and profs create more private group spaces for learning and discussion.

在内部，大厅延伸到一个开放概念学生区域，用于工作、学习和小组会议。独特的桌子和椅子提供了不同结构但舒适的空间，为各种目的提供服务，这取决于学生的需要。在整个空间的其他地方，红色的窗帘从高高的天花板悬挂下来，让学生和学生们为学习和讨论创造更多的私人空间。

For more formal but also hands-on projects, a square module provides students with a studio space that’s wide enough to accommodate a large variety of desk configurations. This means students can break the tables up into individualized work stations or bring them together for tasks that require more group-based seating.

对于更正式但也是动手的项目，正方形模块为学生提供了一个足以容纳各种办公桌配置的工作室空间。这意味着学生们可以把桌子分解成个性化的工作站，或者把它们组合在一起，完成需要更多分组座位的任务。

The intention of creating such a diversely laid out and multi-purpose space was to create a sort of interconnected and yet specific space; a “campus within a campus”. Designers wanted to cater specifically to the needs and strengths of design and architectural students without making them feel segregated from the rest of the campus, hence the open concept spaces, outdoor social seating, and glass walls.

创建这样一个布局多样、用途广泛的空间的目的是要创造一种相互联系但又具体的空间，即“校园内的校园”。设计师想要特别迎合设计和建筑学学生的需要和优势，而不让他们感到与校园其他地方隔离，因此有开放的概念空间、户外社会座位和玻璃墙。

The Thomas P Murphy building might be pleasant to look at and functional to operate in, but its more than that as well. It’s actually a shockingly durable building for all its visual appeal! Besides the obvious strength of its concrete floor, frame, and ceiling, the building provides additional protection against Miami’s hot and wet climate in the form of hurricane-resistant panels built into its glass facade.

托马斯·P·墨菲(ThomasP.Murphy)大楼看上去或许令人愉悦，也能在其中运作，但它也不止如此。它实际上是一个令人震惊的耐用建筑，因为它的所有视觉吸引力！除了其混凝土地板，框架和天花板的明显强度，该建筑提供了额外的保护，以抵御迈阿密的炎热和潮湿的气候，形式的抗飓风面板内置在其玻璃正面。

Additionally, this stunning building is also energy efficient! Despite the way the undulating roof wraps around one end in order to protect those inside from the heat of direct sunlight at certain points of the day, the rest of the glass facade ensures that no artificial light is actually required by those studying inside during daylight hours, making it a greener building than most.

此外，这座令人叹为观止的建筑也是节能的！尽管起伏的屋顶围绕着一端，以保护屋内的人在一天中的某些时刻免受直接阳光的照射，但玻璃外墙的其余部分确保了白天室内学习的人不需要人工照明，这使得它比大多数建筑更环保。
