簡約現代的辦公建築

設計 07-25

公司總部的架構有助於決定它的身份。Casden是一家合作銀行，在戰爭結束後由老師們成立，他們想把自己的積蓄集中起來，幫助同事的兒子買房。它的特徵是分享和團結。其架構應反映這些價值，同時傳達銀行機構的穩固性。對於不熟悉國際金融建築規範的客戶來說，它應該是一個嚴謹、簡單、直接、甚至是溫和的歡迎場所。

The architecture of a company』s headquarters contributes to its identity. Casden is a cooperative bank, established immediately after the war by teachers who wanted to pool their savings in order to help a colleague』s son to buy a home. Its identity is one of sharing and solidarity. Its architecture should reflect those values while at the same time conveying the solidity of a banking institution. It should be rigorous, uncomplicated, straightforward, domestic or even gentle, a welcoming place for clients unfamiliar with the architectural codes of international finance.

Casden Banque Populaire總部大樓摺疊成一個大型前院。這條路通向一個兩層高的中庭，從視覺上可以看到街區的中心地帶百年樹齡的樹木。該方案在建築構圖上是古典的，分為基座、鋼琴室和閣樓。

The Casden Banque Populaire headquarters building folds to form a large forecourt. This leads into a large double-height atrium, opening visually into the landscaped heart of the block, with its hundred-year-old trees. The program is classical in its architectural composition, divided into base, Piano Nobile and attic.

在一、二層，基地為員工、客戶和遊客提供了便利設施，給街道帶來了生機。基地的框架更寬，柱子更厚，它與斜坡的關係將其嵌入公共空間。

On the first two storeys, the base accommodates the amenities for staff, clients and visitors, helping to bring life to the streets. The frame of the base is broader, with thicker columns, and its relation to the slope embeds it into the public space.

辦公樓層是這棟建築生活的核心，象徵性地坐落在一座四層的鋼琴上。外立面上有鋸齒狀的陽台，會讓人聯想到某種家庭建築。主要的樓梯和電梯、活動場所和同事間的會議都使其充滿生機活力。

The office floors, the heart of the building』s life, are symbolically located on a four-level Piano Nobile. Its facade is indented with balconies, which suggest a certain architectural domesticity. It is enlivened by the main stairways and elevators, places of movement and meetings between colleagues.

董事會辦公室延伸到一個空中花園，形成兩層閣樓。會議室位於大樓的頂層，在前院和公園之間架起了橋樑。這些材料是天然的：木頭給公共空間帶來了溫暖，而鑲嵌著青銅色鋁合金的淺色石頭則軟化了建築的體制性。

The board offices, extending into a hanging garden, form a two-level attic. The boardroom is on the top floor, in the prow of the building, bridging the space between forecourt and park. The materials are natural: wood brings warmth to the communal spaces, whereas the pale stone typical of the region, inlaid with bronze toned aluminum, softens the institutional nature of the building.

建築設計由一個簡單重複的承重框架組成，這使得建築在內部劃分時具有靈活性。不同的項目通過比例的變化來定義，表達了它們在城市環境中的戰略定位，以及連接它們的物理和象徵聯繫。

The architectural design consists of a simple and repetitive load-bearing frame, which gives the building flexibility in its internal partitioning. The different programs are defined through variations in proportion, which express their strategic positioning in the urban context and the physical and symbolic links that connect them.

運用這些簡單的措施產生了一個永恆的制度架構，通過建築的形態、組織和物質性進行了調和。Casden Banque Populaire是一家合作性銀行，其架構實現了古典與簡約的微妙平衡。

These simple measures produce a timeless institutional architecture tempered by the morphology, the organization and the materiality of the building. Casden Banque Populaire is a cooperative bank and its architecture achieves the fragile balance between classicism and simplicity.
