令人耳目一新的地标

如同其名称暗示的那样，“智慧之环”体现了永恒的建筑理念。Powerhouse Company设计的“智慧之环”坐落在在中国活力大都市成都的新区主干道上，它有科技展馆和接待中心两大功能分区，明显的美学吸引力和文化功能让它成为了一座标志性建筑，于此同时，它的流线形结构还创造了一个大气的公共空间——起伏的屋顶步道。这使“智慧之环”成为了一个高度可达且平易近人的地标，而不是一个只可远观的符号。它邀请人们来探索它，并可成为他们日常散步或慢跑活动的一部分。

An Informal Icon

Living up to the suggestiveness of its name, the Loop of Wisdom embodies a timeless architectural concept. Our design for a technology museum and reception center for a new neighborhood in Chengdu, China, is much more than an exuberant landmark. In addition to its obvious aesthetic appeal and cultural program, the fluid structure incorporates a spectacular public space – an undulating rooftop trail. This addition makes the Loop of Wisdom an accessible icon, rather than a remote beacon. It invites people to explore it and make it part of their regular walking or jogging routine.

建筑为连续的环状体，这种环形具有原型性和通用性，也具备有机感和几何感；独具一格且又易于识别。业主最初想要的是两个临时建筑，然而，最终设计的品质和优雅的线条，以及建筑与景观的精妙关系令他们印象深刻，以至于他们决定将其永久呈现。智慧之环的设计将短暂建筑的想法变成了一种长期且可持续使用的构想。

Designed as a continuous ring, the loop’s form is archetypal and universal; organic and geometric; enigmatic yet instantly recognizable. While the client initially wanted a temporary building, they were so impressed by the quality of the design, its delicate relationship with the landscape and its elegant lines, that they decided it must become a permanent fixture. The Loop of Wisdom’s design transformed the idea for an ephemeral structure into a vision of a long-lived and inherently sustainable one.

落位智慧之环

业主智慧产城运营商紫光海阔集团要求Powerhouse Company设计一个科技展示博物馆和一个接待中心作为其新开发项目紫光.天府芯城的一部分，该区域靠近繁华的大都市区。智慧之环未来还将作为学校的体育馆和艺美综合楼使用。

Put a ring on it

The client, chip manufacturer and real estate specialist Uni-Hiku, asked Powerhouse Company to design the museum and reception center as part of its new development, Unis Chip City, in the vibrant metropolis of Chengdu. The new buildings would also function as a technology education center as well as an information center for the new city development.

在实地考察期间，建筑师注意到周边地形的自然起伏，且基地本身就是一个非常微妙而柔和的小山。通常，在中国项目中，这些自然丘陵会被夷为平地，相反，Powerhouse Company决定以地形作为独特的设计基础，为城市环境带来有机而柔软的体验。通过塑造一个遵循地形的环形路径，可将两个独立功能的建筑体组合成一个统一的结构。随着屋顶步道的升高，形成了高低起伏的屋面并塑造出了屋顶下的建筑空间。新建筑物同时也成为了一个多层级的景观步道，自然环境在建筑结构的周围、下方和室内随处呈现在人眼前。

During the site visit, the architects noticed the natural undulation in the terrain, a very subtle and soft hill. Normally in Chinese development these natural hills are leveled. Powerhouse Company decided instead to use the topography as the basis for a unique design that would bring an organic softness to the urban environment. By shaping a circular path that follows the topography, the two separate programmatic entities are combined in one single structure. As the path rises up to make space for the program, it becomes a roof offering stunning views over the new development. The new building becomes a path and architecture at the same time, while allowing nature to continue around, under and within the form of the structure.

智慧之环有机的流线形态呼应了环绕成都平原的山脉群。嵌入景观之中的建筑是一个开放的公共场所，可引人到访，人们可在其中散步、奔跑或欣赏美景。它类似于莫比乌斯环（Möbius）的造型、极高的建筑品质以及尖端的设计与建造技术，都暗示着人类智慧的独创性和紫光的高科技特征。

The Loop of Wisdom’s flowing, organic form echoes the mountain ring circling its location on the Chengdu Plain. Embedded into the landscape, the building is accessible and public, a place for people to walk, run or simply admire the views. The Möbius-like form alludes to human ingenuity and the high-tech credentials of the Unis Group, as does the high quality of the building and the cutting-edge technology used to design and build it.

红色步道

屋顶步道总长698米，从地面上升可达25米高，在屋顶上可欣赏到周围的绿地和遥远山脉的壮丽景色。它的表面是塑胶跑道（用于田径运动的材料），使之非常适合跑步者和步行者。选择红色作为屋顶的颜色是因为它与景观中郁郁葱葱的绿色形成鲜明的对比。

The red road

The rooftop walkway measures 698 meters around, rising 25 meters from its ground level access to offer spectacular views of the surrounding greenery and distant mountains. Its surface is rubber asphalt – the material used for athletics tracks – making the path suitable for runners as well as walkers. Red was chosen for the color for the roof because of the striking contrast it makes with the lush green of the landscape. Above the track, the rooftop surface is composed of custom aluminium tiles. 15,218 of these, each with its own unique profile and numeric code, form a seamless skin for the serpentine shape.

步道两侧的屋顶表皮由定制的铝板组成，15,218片形状略有变化的铝板具有各自独特的轮廓和数字代码，拼接后形成了鳞片状的无缝表皮，而照亮建筑物的LED灯以及檐槽和扶手等的所有功能元素都被精心隐藏在了视线之外，使得整个建筑形成了流线型轮廓，增强了“智慧之环”的优雅简洁。

Above the track, the rooftop surface is composed of custom aluminium tiles. 15,218 of these, each with its own unique profile and numeric code, form a seamless skin for the serpentine shape. The LED lights that illuminate the building at night and functional elements including gutters and handrails are all carefully concealed from sight, resulting in the streamlined profile that enhances the loop’s elegant simplicity and flowing lines.

红色屋顶下，展览空间拥有木纹天花板和开放视野，结合周围景观，营造了温暖自然的氛围。外墙在结构上使用玻璃肋增强结构强度，建造出了高达到13米的纯净的玻璃幕墙。这种高度透明感模糊了室内和室外之间的界限，再次增强了与自然的联系。

Beneath the red roof, the exhibition spaces have a warm, natural atmosphere, created by wooden ceilings and open views of the surrounding landscape. The facades are structurally glazed to a height of 13 meters with glass reinforcement fins. This transparency blurs the boundary between indoors and outdoors, again enhancing the connection with nature.

大胆的新地标

紫光.天府芯城位于四川成都天府新区，是天府大道沿线涌现的几个重点开发项目之一。“智慧之环”（Loop）就位于天府大道这条城市主动脉旁，以其流动的形式和鲜艳的红色引起人们的注意。在夜晚，LED照明系统会将其转变成一座发光的雕塑。作为新开发项目中第一座完工的建筑，它已成为未来社区的象征性地标，并吸引着未来的居民入住。

A bold new landmark

Located in the Tianfu New District of Chengdu in Sichuan, Unis Chip City is one of several developments springing up along the Tianfu Avenue. Situated next to this major artery, the Loop of Wisdom commands attention with its flowing form and vibrant red color.. As the first completed building in the new development, it acts as a symbolic landmark for the future community and as a magnet for attracting future residents.

除设计“智慧之环”外，Powerhouse Company还担任该开发项目的顾问，该开发项目包括住宅楼、办公室、购物中心和学校。建筑师还设计了该项目的其他建筑，包括目前正在建设中的混合功能产业办公楼群。

In addition to designing the Loop of Wisdom, Powerhouse Company acted as a consultant for the development, which includes residential buildings, offices, shopping malls and schools. The architects also designed other elements of the plan, including mixed-use offices that are currently under construction.

通往未来的捷径

整个“智慧之环”项目建筑面积为5,000平方米，包括室内设计和景观设计。由于使用了与建筑BIM模型关联的高级参数化绘图工具，设计本身在几天之内便从草图变成了蓝图。虽然 Powerhouse Company鹿特丹公司总部与中国之间的时差为6个小时，但技术的应用使双方的沟通更加有效，为双方各自工作的开始和结束都打好了基础。之后，“智慧之环”的场地旁将建造一所新学校，而“智慧之环”在其第二阶段将改造为体育馆和艺美综合楼，且拥有奥林匹克标准的跑道，并在基地片区内保持其社区核心的属性。这种功能上的适应性保证了它的使用寿命，使得该建筑具备了固有的可持续性。

The fast track to the future

The entire Loop of Wisdom building, including the interior design and landscape design, was built with true Chinese rapidity: It took under a year to complete from design to construction. The design itself went from sketch to blueprint in a matter of days, thanks to the use of advanced parametric drafting software that was linked to the architects’ BIM model. The six-hour time difference between Powerhouse Company’s head office in Rotterdam and the site in China allowed for efficient communication, with both parties touching base at the start and end of their respective days. Eventually, a new school will be built next to the site of the Loop of Wisdom. The building will enter its second phase of life as a library and sports center, complete with an Olympic-sized running track, maintaining its focal role in the community. This built-in longevity makes the building inherently sustainable.
