“新路德盖特”(NewLudgate)是将伦敦金融城改造成一个慷慨而活泼的新街区。它建立了两个引人注目和互补的新建筑之间的对话，同时恢复和改善围绕它的公共领域和穿过城市街区的新路线。

‘New Ludgate’ is the transformation of a City block into a generous and lively new quarter for London. It sets up a dialogue between two striking and complementary new buildings whilst reinstating and improving the public realm around it and new routes through the city block.

从本质上说，它是一座新的城市。这是一个充满历史气息的网站。从这里开始，贝尔索瓦奇教练客栈欢迎或送走了许多虚构的、真实的旅行者；波卡洪塔斯和伦敦第一批活犀牛前来参观。后来了铁路工程师，他们在路德盖特山和第二次世界大战期间架设了一条铁路桥，这使该遗址成为一片废墟。

It is, in essence, a new piece of city. It is a site redolent with history. From here the Belle Sauvage coaching inn welcomed or saw off numerous fictional and real travellers; Pocahontas and London’s first live rhinoceros paid visits. Later came railway engineers who put an iron viaduct across Ludgate Hill, and World War II, which left the site in ruins.

位于老城墙上的路德盖特山(Ludgate Hill)旧址曾是上世纪80年代一些过时写字楼的所在地，其中最高的建筑元素违反了樱草山(Primrose Hill)观景走廊的高度限制，在公共设施方面几乎没有提供什么服务，底层有一座沉陷的拱廊。

The site on the old city wall of Ludgate Hill was formerly home to some outdated 1980s office buildings, the tallest element of which breached Primrose Hill viewing corridor height restrictions, and which offered little in the way of public amenity, with a dull sunken arcade at its lower levels.

弗莱彻·普里斯特被土地证券公司要求对这一地点进行总体规划，将其分为两个总部大小的办公大楼-北面的老贝利30号，由Sauerbruch Hutton设计，由Fletcher Priest担任执行建筑师，路德盖特山60号由弗莱彻·普里斯特(Fletcher Priest)设计。

Fletcher Priest was asked to masterplan the site by Land Securities, separating it into two headquarter-sized office buildings – 30 Old Bailey to the north, designed by Sauerbruch Hutton with Fletcher Priest as executive architect, and 60 Ludgate Hill, designed by Fletcher Priest.

 Floor Plan

通过在两者之间建立一条新的通道-一条名为Belle Sauvage的通道-这条路线是15世纪在附近经营的一家教练客栈，在匹克威克报纸(Pickwick Papers)和汤姆·布朗(Tom Brown)的“学校时代”(Schoolday)中也有特色。该计划还可以在东部形成一个新的开放空间，让这里的广场-与罗马的先例相提并论，是由立面定义的，并在维多利亚时代的立面对面展示了一个现存的兵马俑。这个空间的设计尽量少给人一种“公司”的感觉。

By creating a new passageway between the two – a route named Belle Sauvage after the 15th century coaching inn that once operated nearby and featured in Pickwick Papers and Tom Brown’s Schooldays – the scheme could also form a new open space at the east that catches the lunchtime sun for office workers and the public alike. The square here – with a nod to precedents in Rome, is defined by façades and plays off an existing terracotta Victorian elevation opposite. This space has been designed with as little of a ‘corporate’ feel as possible.

在场地周围，街道线路、等级和景观都得到了修复和改善，例如通往圣保罗西入口的游行路线。

Around the site, street lines, grades and views are repaired and improved, such as the processional route to the western entrance of St Paul’s.

这与大量的方案和街道曲线一起，都是由圣保罗的观景走廊产生的，而主要的设计理念是恢复从法林登(Farringdon)的旧城小巷的连接，它建在一个历史悠久的地方，也是舰队河曾经流淌的地方。

This, along with much of the massing of the scheme and the curve of the street, was generated by the St Paul’s view corridor, while the main design idea was to reinstate the connection of old City lanes from Farringdon, building on a site that is steeped in history and where the Fleet River used to flow.

这座占地16.5万平方英尺的路德盖特山大厦本身由九层楼和一层楼组成。它由固定的白色玻璃罩下的酒吧和零售店组成，建筑采用砖石格栅的立面概念，它能阻挡阳光直射，将光线投射到地板上，当从街道宽阔的人行道上斜看时，建筑就会变得坚固。巴顿说：“我们想要一些很酷、很现代的东西，而另一栋建筑可能更好玩。”

The 165,000 sq ft 60 Ludgate Hill building itself comprises nine storeys plus ground floors. It is animated by and bars and retail outlets under fixed white glass awnings The building uses a façade concept of a masonry grid that keeps off direct sunlight and throws light onto the floorplates and, when viewed obliquely from the street’s wide pavements, gives a solidity to the building. ‘We wanted something quite cool and modern, whereas the other building may be more playful’, says Barton.

白色预制混凝土框架，简单详细，尊重他们的邻居，并启动地板到天花板的低离子玻璃，而生动的琥珀色的‘卡斯特教堂’玻璃鳍在新的公共空间的广场‘口音’外观，在那里成熟的树提供阴影和视觉链接的贝尔索瓦奇。一架由光伏电池组成的浮动飞机将屋顶与植物和绿色屋顶连成一条线，而这两座建筑的侧翼都是一座仍在运行的两层半高的城市电气交汇处，这使得光线进入了工地的中心。

White precast concrete frames, simply detailed, respect their neighbours and set off the floor-to-ceiling low-ion glazing, while vivid amber ‘Kathedral’ glass fins are used on the piazzetta ‘accent’ façade in the new public space, where a mature tree provides shade and visual link for Belle Sauvage. A floating plane of photovoltaic cells lines the roofscape along with plant and a green roof, while both buildings flank a still-operating two and a half-storey city electrical interchange, which allows light into the heart of the site. 

60路德盖特山还拥有广阔的私人外部空间，可从每一层办公楼层进入。这包括回放的灌木丛和阳台，以及一个面向南的大露台，可以不间断地看到圣保罗的景观，可以容纳300人在五楼的设置层，古斯塔夫森·波特在其他地方进行了景观美化。

60 Ludgate Hill also boasts extensive private external space, accessible from every office floor. This includes set-back loggia and balconies and a substantial south-facing terrace with uninterrupted views of St Paul’s which is capable of accommodating 300 people at the fifth floor set-back level, landscaped as elsewhere by Gustafson Porter.

零售和餐馆在一楼，恢复了等级，而通道的约克石铺路从标准的约克石变成黑色花岗岩吸引行人通过。就可持续性而言，这两座建筑都是BREEAM的“优秀”建筑，主要受路德盖特山60号建筑设计实现的采光量的影响，减少了对办公楼层人工照明的需求。

Retail and restaurants line the ground floor, reinstated at grade, while the passageway’s York stone paving morphs from standard yorkstone into dark granite to draw pedestrians through. In terms of sustainability, both buildings are BREEAM ‘Excellent’, influenced mainly in 60 Ludgate Hill’s case by the amount of daylighting it has been designed to achieve, reducing the need for artificial light on the office floors.

合作有助于规划和让过程，两个小组出现在委员会，并帮助实现一个相对直截了当的通道通过规划系统。这座城市获得了很多好处，包括修复公共领域更宽的人行道，新的公共空间元素，以及恢复圣保罗的观景台，从而消除了这一缺口。

The collaboration helped the planning and letting process with both teams appearing at committee and helping to achieve a relatively straight forward passage through the planning system. There were a lot of gains for the city including the repair of the public realm wider pavements, the new element of public space, and the reinstatement of the St Paul’s viewing heights so that the breach was taken away.
