架构师提供的文本描述。我们新建的办公计划。该网站位于名古屋市的郊区，靠近地铁站的最后一站，面向主干道。一项正在周边地区进行的大型开发项目，将在未来几年内改变该地区的面貌。该项目的实施重点是以下几点：创造一个新空间的形象，这将在我们公司的未来发展中发挥关键作用。鼓励员工之间的丰富沟通。探索木结构的可能性。

Text description provided by the architects. Our newly-built office plan. The site is located in a suburb of Nagoya City, near the last stop of a metro station, and facing a major arterial road.

在规划施工时，考虑到以下因素：第一，关于柱子的放置，30根柱子被放置在散标签布局中，这样就可以创建一个内部没有承重墙的结构。第二，在楼板方面，自由排列的楼板在高度上存在差异，使工作人员可以在办公室内选择自己的定制空间。第三，在外观上，相同大小的开口覆盖了所有的四面墙，给人一个典型的外观，给人的印象是耐用的。

The construction was planned with the following considerations in mind: Firstly, concerning the placement of pillars, 30 pillars were placed in a hash-tag layout allowing the creation of a structure that has no load bearing walls inside. Secondly, with regard to the slabs, free-arrangement of the slabs produced differences in height allowing the staff to choose their own custom spaces in the office. Thirdly, regarding the exterior, same-sized openings cover all four walls and give a classic look to the main façade, and provide it with the impression of durability.

所有这些元素结合在一起，创建了一个有意设计的空间，可以承受意想不到的、令人惊讶的功能形式。这些特点包括：被砖块隔开的窗户，在无法进入的地方安装的窗户，以及楼板之间的楼梯，形成了一个丰富而不寻常的空间-这种空间提供了一种存在于树林中的感觉，这种空间是通过围绕着内部的墙壁上的窗户反射阳光来实现的-尽管这个空间是人为创造出来的。主导这一空间产生的规则可能会让人想起后现代建筑。然而，如果后现代建筑被认为是专门研究意义的建筑，那么这种结构既有意义的力量，也有空间的力量。“后现代”原本是什么意思？对历史价值的重新思考注入了这一建筑。

All of these elements came together to create an intentionally designed space that could bear unintended and surprising forms of functionality . Characteristics such as windows cut-off by slabs, windows placed in inaccessible locations, and the staircase peaking out from between slabs contribute to a rich, unusual space—a space that provides the feeling of being in a grove, accomplished through the sunlight shining down via windows on the walls surrounding the inside, —even though the space was created artificially. The rule that presided over the production of this space may appear to recall postmodern architecture. However, if postmodern architecture is recognized as specializing in meaning, this structure has both the strength of meaning and space. What is “postmodern” originally supposed to mean? The reconsideration of historical value is imbued in this architecture.
