用樂高積木搭建的「超級飛船」，上帝之眼觀看蘋果總部

天下 09-26

蘋果集團最近在最新的總部發布了2018年的發布會，這次也是首次在剛建成不久的蘋果集團總部開發布會。而這個在太空中都可以看到的巨大圓環，也是前蘋果總裁已故的喬布斯的夢想。同時也是喬布斯先生設計的。

這個坐落在加州的巨大飛船，名字就叫做Apple Park，佔地面積280萬平方英尺（約合26萬平方米）。該建築耗時8年時間完工，總花費達50億美元（約合330億人民幣）。喬布斯劇院處在環形總部大樓附近，專門用於舉辦發布會等重大活動，最多可容納1.2萬人，劇院的外觀玻璃幕牆高20英尺（約6米），直徑165英尺（約50.2米）。屋頂是有史以來最大的碳纖維獨立屋頂，重達80噸，由44塊面板組成。

新總部大樓為環狀建築，中間是大型庭院，用史蒂夫·喬布斯生前自己的話來形容，新大樓像「一艘著陸的宇宙飛船」，而美國媒體則將其比喻成「巨型玻璃甜甜圈」。

由於建築的外形非常獨特，所以將這個建築採用樂高積木拼搭出來，真的會非常吸引人！而設計師Spencer_R卻真的給實現了，並且將整個Apple Park區域全部搭建出來了！一起來看看！

看完了這幾張圖，會不會被震撼到？好了。先來大概和你介紹一下設計師Spencer R，

About:

I am interested in using LEGO as both a sculpturing and engineering modeling medium. My goal is to achieve a "mind"s eye" level of modeling realism within the inherent limits imposed by element discretization and material costs. My primary concentration over the past couple of years has been building replicas of famous skyscrapers at a common scale.

他是來自美國的一名樂高設計師，平時非常喜歡用樂高積木來還原大型的著名建築。而所做的作品都是巨型作品。

今天介紹的這個Apple Park也是他的最新作品，那麼再來看看作品的細節吧！

Apple Park is the new 176 acre headquarter campus of Apple Inc. located in Cupertino California.

Its signature architectural element is a four-story ring-shaped office building, sometimes dubbed "The Spaceship". The enormous building is nearly a mile in circumference, contains approximately 2.8 million square feet of office space, and is home to 12,000 employees.

Surrounding it is a sculpted landscape of rolling hills, trees, and grasslands. Nearly 80% of the campus is green space and it features 9000 trees.

The Apple Park campus design was led by famed architect Norman Foster who worked closely with late Apple CEO Steve Jobs.

Apple Park was built at an estimated cost of $5 billion.

Ground was broken in 2013 and the first office workers began arriving in early 2017.

I"ve always wanted to build a horizontal skyscraper. These are sometimes also called "groundscrapers".

In 2014 I came across some drone footage of an enormous circular excavation being dug into the California earth. When I discovered this was the start of the foundation for a new low-rise Apple "spaceship" campus, I knew I had found an interesting and suitable candidate.

With a footprint of more than 28,000 square studs this model is nearly as large as all my other LEGO skyscraper builds combined.

The model"s facade is constructed in segments using white LEGO 1x2 rail plates and trans-black plates.

A faceted approach to approximating the curvature of a round building is a traditional approach in both LEGO and in actual building construction.

This is in stark contrast to the actual Apple Park "Spaceship" which is truly a round building using the largest panels of curved glass in the world. Each outer ring glass panel is 15m in length and the inner ring panels are 11m long.

Using various considerations for the LEGO model"s scale and symmetry, the math worked out to 144 outer ring segments and 112 inner segments. The ring is about 2.5ft in diameter.

搭建方式是一種近似圓形的方法，而使用樂高零件來看，比例是比較複雜的，所以實際搭建是外徑部分採用了144個零件組和內徑的112個零件組組成圓環。真實的Apple Park是玻璃的，而使用樂高積木只能使用弧形的零件來表現。
