 Site Overview

现场概况

架构师提供的文本描述。工厂和展览空间-通常，这两种项目类型将在世界各地的建筑师。一方面，功能和成本效益占主导地位；另一方面，对设计和执行质量的要求最高。位于芝加哥附近的德国机床和激光制造商TRU强的一个新的展示和销售中心结合了两个世界，并将高科技机器和创新的生产工艺变成了展览样的产品。这里，一家安装了数字联网机器的工业4.0示范工厂展示了从订购钣金零件到其设计、生产和交付的整个钣金加工链，该流程具有智能互联、整体流程的经验。

Text description provided by the architects. The factory and the exhibition space – ordinarily, these two project types would lie worlds apart for an architect. With one, functionality and cost-efficiency reign; with the other, the highest demands are placed on design and quality of execution. A new presentation and sales center for the German machine tool and laser manufacturer TRUMPF near Chicago combines both worlds and turns high-tech machines and innovative production processes into exhibition-like showpieces. Here, an Industry 4.0 demonstration factory fitted with digitally networked machines presents the entire sheet metal process chain, from ordering a sheet metal part to its design, production, and delivery, experienced as an intelligently interlinked, holistic process.

选择一个新的“智能工厂”的位置主要围绕着基础设施的考虑：该地点位于90号州际公路上，靠近芝加哥奥黑尔国际机场。在周边工业区的背景下，它的立足点几乎是田园诗般的：被组织成两个大体积，建筑缓缓地向大蓄水池倾斜，这是一个被草坪包围的湿地内的水库。

Choosing a location for the new “Smart Factory” largely centered around a consideration of infrastructural conditions: the site is prominently located on Interstate 90 near Chicago O’Hare International Airport. Against the backdrop of the surrounding industrial zones, its immediate setting appears almost idyllic: organized into two large volumes, the building gently slopes back towards a large retention pond, a reservoir within the wetlands surrounded by lawns.

这座建筑也令人惊讶：它采用了坚固典雅的钢制建筑-采用Corten钢覆层的玻璃结构，将以快餐文化、购物中心和加油站为特征的郊区“地带”与艾伯特·卡恩(Albert Kahn)和路德维希·米斯·范德洛(Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe)的当地校园和工业建筑在这里，“锈带”作为美国最古老和最大的工业区的历史是与计算机控制的高技术生产结合在一起的；功能符合代表性，实用主义则是精益求精。

The architecture also surprises: with a robust and elegant steel-glass construction with Corten steel cladding, it connects the suburban “strip” – characterized by fast food culture, shopping centers, and gas stations – with the design language of local campus and industrial buildings by Albert Kahn and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Here, the history of the “Rust Belt” as the oldest and largest industrial region in the USA is brought together with computer-controlled high-tech production; functionality meets representation, and pragmatism meets refinement.

这座建筑有两卷-南面的陈列室，北边的智能工厂办公室、咖啡厅和礼堂空间-在它们的角落连接起来，形成两个矩形的外部区域。这座建筑的高度从4.5米到13米不等，与周围的环境融为一体，这是一片天然草地，树木成群散落。通过它的连续倾斜屋顶，它像一个楔形向高速公路，在那里展厅的12米高的广告牌一样的玻璃前面呈现自己的过往交通。

The structure’s two volumes – the showroom to the south, and the Smart Factory ‘s office, café and auditorium space to the north – are connected at their corners and create two rectangular exterior zones. With a height ranging from 4,5 to about 13 m, the building integrates itself into its environment, a natural grassland with loose groupings of trees. Via its continuous pitched roof, it rises like a wedge towards the highway, where the showroom’s 12-meter-high billboard-like glass front presents itself to passing traffic.

展厅由十一个定制的激光切割钢桁架组成，长约45米.游客可通过开放式的“天道”进行特别的概述，这是一座贯穿天花板结构的桥梁，从而使人能够将丝状的“结构为空间”。

The showroom is spanned by eleven customized, laser-cut steel trusses, approximately 45 m long. Visitors are given a special overview via an open “skywalk”, a bridge that runs through the ceiling structure, thus enabling one to perceive the filigree “structure as space”.

该建筑的外部，其粗糙的覆层深锈色波纹Corten钢板和它的优雅，地板到天花板的玻璃，强调了它的工业背景和它的代表性功能。在建筑内部，原材料与精致的表面建立了温暖，几乎是家的气氛。建造黑色钢、抛光混凝土地板、膨胀金属网板和烧焦木墙是工业生产和展览有机结合的特点。

The building’s exterior, with its rough cladding of deep rust-colored corrugated Corten steel sheeting and its elegant, floor-to-ceiling glazing, emphasizes both its industrial context and its representative function. Inside the building, raw, industrial materials with refined surfaces establish a warm, almost homey atmosphere. The construction of black steel, polished concrete floors, expanded metal mesh panels and charred wood walls characterize spaces where industrial production and exhibition are coherently integrated.
