架构师提供的文本描述。一座机场广场是一座多功能建筑.由于地块的具体形式和地形特征，它在地块的一楼和西南十层的写字楼上设有商业空间。鉴于希望在项目区和周围城市之间形成对比，雇员和公众的会合空间受到特别关注。在这里，该空间被配置成一个公共广场，在该地段的东北侧开放，同时被商业楼层屏蔽，被安排成一个环(商店、餐馆、自助餐饮机构)。大比例广场适合于各种活动，集市或其他活动，并可用作展览空间，永久安装的艺术作品。这些措施，加上商业活动，将使该地区在白天和夜间恢复生机。

Text description provided by the architects. One Airport Square is a multi-functional building. It hosts commercial spaces on the ground floor and a ten-floor office block on the southwest of the lot, due to the specific form and orographic features of the site. In view of the desire for a contrast between the project area and the surrounding townscape, the rendezvous space for employees and the public received special attention. Here, the space was configured as a public square, open on the northeast side of the lot while shielded by the commercial floor, arranged as a ring (shops, restaurants, self-service catering establishments). The generously proportioned square is suitable for various events, fairs or other activities, and may be used as an exhibition space for permanently installed works of art. Such initiatives, together with the commercial activities, will bring the area to life, by day and by night.

一机场广场是一座九层高的办公大楼，外加一层商业活动的底层，总面积约一万七千平方米。美学元素和建筑设计灵感来源于当地传统艺术和来自该地区典型棕榈树的树皮，与环境战略密切相关，为气候问题提供了一个可行的解决方案。办公大楼的形式和布局是基于主体的功能要求和多学科设计小组规定的形式、结构和能量要求而进行的设计工作的结果。

One Airport Square is a nine-storey building for offices, plus a ground floor designed for commercial activities, for a total of about 17,000 square meters. Aesthetic elements and architectural design inspired by the traditional local art and by the from the bark of the palm trees typical of that area, closely linked to environmental strategies to provide a viable solution to climate problems. The form and layouts of the office block are the outcome of ongoing design work based on the functional requirements of the principal and the formal, structural and energy requirements specified by the multi-disciplinary design group.

由于其不规则的形状，部分反映了该地点的地形特征，铺好的路面将街道与广场的上层连接起来，在那里我们可以找到通往办公室和商业区的主要入口。一对自动扶梯直接连接公共空间和地下停车场的两层。甚至地下楼层的配置考虑到现场的排版，并提出了结构抗震的技术解决方案。

Thanks to their irregular form, reflecting in part the orographic features of the site, the paved surfaces link the street with the upper level of the square, where we find the main entrance to the offices and commercial area. A pair of escalators directly join the public space and the two floors of the underground car park. Even the underground floors are configured considering the typography to the site and present technical solutions for structural earthquake resistant.

建筑围护结构是体现形式、结构与环境战略整合的关键要素。这座建筑外形紧凑，里面有一个大厅，其功能是提供照明和便利室内自然通风。竖井深度的变化决定了三种办公类型的配置：马西、米迪和迷你。建筑物的一个决定性的元素是由突出的梯田所产生的运动，随着它们的上升而逐渐退却，一层接一层。根据潜在租户的不同需求，这些部分的变化可以增加配置环境的灵活性。

The building envelope is the key element that demonstrates the integration between form, structure and environmental strategies. The building, which is compact in form, contains within it a large hall the function of which is to provide lighting and to facilitate natural ventilation of the interiors. Variation of depth of the shafts determines the configuration of three office types: maxi, midi and mini. A defining element of the building is the movement generated by the projecting terraces, which gradually recede as they rise, floor by floor. These section variations enable increased flexibility in configuring the environments in accordance with the varying requirements of prospective tenants.

另一个定义要素是钢筋混凝土结构，其斜墩赋予建筑物和悬垂更大的刚度，同时也作为前面的装饰主题。

A further defining element consists in the reinforced concrete structure, the inclined piers of which confer greater rigidity upon the building and the overhangs, while also featuring as a decorative motif for the front.

一个机场广场是加纳第一个被南非绿色建筑委员会授予四星级(设计阶段)的建筑。该项目是根据对该地点、地形和最佳方向的详细分析而设计的，以便成为西非新一代办公楼的参照点和范例。在这个纬度上，太阳的路径使它特别暴露在东方和西部的太阳辐射面前。这加上全年的中至高温，因此有需要采取策略，以减少对建筑物降温的需要。

One Airport Square is the first building in Ghana to have been awarded 4-Stars (Design Stage) by the Green Building Council of South Africa (GBCSA). The project was designed based on a detailed analysis of the site, the topographical and optimal orientation to become a point of reference and example for the new generation of office buildings in West Africa. At this latitude, the sun's path makes it particularly exposed to solar radiation fronts east and west. This, combined with medium to high temperatures present during the entire course of the year, made it necessary to adopt strategies to reduce the need to cool the building.

该工厂是基于一种分配的原则，新鲜空气输送到浮动地板，并以统一的方式到达整个飞机。为了减少饮用水的消耗，有些技术限制了流出量、持续时间和交付时间，同时预计将灰水和雨水再利用于厕所。

The plant is based on a principle of distribution of the fresh air conveyed in the floating floor which reaches in a uniform manner throughout the plane. To reduce consumption of drinking water there are technologies that limit the amount of outflow, the duration and the time of delivery, while it is expected the reuse of gray water and rainwater for the toilet.

在一个机场广场上，所有这些要素的总和是由综合设计工作决定的，这项工作平衡了建筑和工程方面的考虑因素，以减少建筑物的能源消耗，并优化自然光的使用。最先进的技术与当地的传统相平衡，使用最有效的设计。所有这些都带来了一种新的美观念：生态美。

The sum of all these elements in One Airport Square was determined by a work of integrated design that balances architectural and engineering considerations in order to reduce energy consumption of the building and optimize the use of natural light. The most advanced technologies are balanced with the local tradition, using the most efficient design. All of this is brings to a new idea of beauty: the ecological beauty.
