架构师提供的文本描述。VachronConstantin总部和制造中心由BernardTschumi建筑公司(2001-2005年)设计和建造，需要更多的设备，以满足制造商对最先进的手表生产的日益增长的需求。虽然新项目的规模是原来的四层建筑的两倍以上，位于日内瓦郊区，客户坚持保留建筑物的标志性和象征性的存在。

Text description provided by the architects. The Vacheron Constantin Headquarters and Manufacturing Center, designed and built by Bernard Tschumi Architects (2001-2005), required additional facilities so as to meet the manufacturer’s increasing demands for state-of-the-art watch production. Although the new program is more than double the size of the original four-story building situated on the outskirts of Geneva, the client insisted on preserving the building’s iconic and symbolic presence.

新大楼的位置是为了向旗舰建筑打开一个视觉锥。由于其他建筑是预期的，建筑师设想的校园，其中所有的建筑结构不同，但似乎属于同一结构家族。

The new building is located so as to open a cone of vision toward the flagship building. Since other construction is anticipated, the architects conceived of a campus in which all the buildings differ in configuration, but appear to belong to the same structural family.

制造空间位于新建筑的北侧，以便为技术熟练的钟表制造商提供最佳的自然光线，天窗提供舒适的工作条件。一家大餐馆开在一片宽阔的草坪上。地面服务区允许卡车运送，而停车场和小型送货站则占据地下室层。

The manufacturing spaces have been oriented on the north side of the new building so as to achieve the best natural light for the skilled watchmakers, with skylights providing comfortable working conditions. A large restaurant opens onto a generous lawn. A ground-level service court allows for truck deliveries, while the car park and small delivery depot occupy the basement level.

作为制造和管理的共同分母的弯曲金属信封的概念，蓝领和白领工人，是最初建筑的起点。作为扩建工程，建筑师们在原有屋顶上开发了两层楼高的变体，并安装了15，000平方英尺(1500平方米)的连续太阳能电池板，以节约能源和提高效率。

The concept of a curved metal envelope acting as a common denominator for both manufacturing and management, blue- and white-collar workers, was the starting point for the original building. For the extension, the architects developed a two-story variation on the original roof and installed 15,000 square feet (1500 m2) of continuous solar panels for energy conservation and efficiency.

扩建的一个主要特点是一个壮观的玻璃台阶坡道，作为一个前厅，并导致手表制造商的更衣室。坡道提供了原来的和新的建筑物之间的连接。

A key feature of the extension is a spectacular glazed stepped ramp that serves as a vestibule and leads to the watchmakers’ changing rooms. The ramp provides an articulation between the original and new buildings.
