作为已故市长托马斯·M·梅尼诺(ThomasM.Menino)愿景的见证，这栋建筑骄傲地矗立在达德利广场(DudleySquare)正是梅尼诺决定，波士顿市将开发重要的土地，将500名公务员从BPS合并成一个新的市政教育办公大楼，并与一个社区中心和零售空间相结合。这栋建筑的二楼是罗克斯伯里创新中心的所在地，由市长马丁·J·沃尔什(MartinJ.Walsh)发起。

As a testimony to the vision of the late Mayor Thomas M. Menino, the building stands proudly over Dudley Square. It was Menino who decided the City of Boston would develop the vital plot of land by consolidating 500 civil servants from the BPS into a new municipal office building for education, in conjunction with a community centre and retail space. The building’s second floor is home to the Roxbury Innovation Center, initiated by Mayor Martin J. Walsh.

Mecanoo和Sasaki的设计体现了城市对变革象征的愿景，这是所有人都可以自由获得的，庆祝罗克斯伯里(Roxbury)的历史，并为这个社区开创了一个新时代。由于每个学生和家长将至少访问一次BPS，该建筑的设计是友好，健康和鼓舞人心的人，所有年龄的人。它挑战了办公大楼是什么，提出了新的工作方式，并通过开放的布局促进协作和透明度。

Mecanoo and Sasaki’s design embodies the City’s vision of a symbol of change that is freely accessible to all, celebrating the history of Roxbury and inaugurating a new era for the neighbourhood. Since every student and parent in the state will visit the BPS at least once, the building is designed to be friendly, healthy and inspirational to people of all ages. It challenges what an office building is, proposing new ways of working and promoting collaboration and transparency through an open layout.

地块上的费迪南德、柯蒂斯和沃特曼建筑的正面延伸到城市的各个角落。该项目通过将现有的建筑角落拼接成一座明亮的新建筑，将它们联合起来并重新连接起来。在将新旧融合成一个令人骄傲但微妙的、相互关联的空间系列中，它大胆地展望未来，同时参考了这个地区丰富而充满活力的过去。

The facades of the Ferdinand, Curtis and Waterman buildings on the plot reach out to all sides of the city. The project unites and re-engages the existing built corners by stitching them together into a bright new building. In blending new and old into one proud yet subtle, interconnected series of spaces, it boldly looks to the future while referencing the neighbourhood’s rich and vibrant past.

 First Floor Plan

一层平面图

五层石灰石和兵马俑费迪南德的历史外墙被修复并作为地标保留下来，使一座与达德利社区紧密相连的建筑恢复了生机。柯蒂斯的外墙，以安妮女王的红砖风格，和沃特曼，建造在波士顿花岗岩风格，是全面恢复。他们保持达德利广场的感觉和规模，而中心卷到新的市政中心注入了一种现代的审美；低调的形式，但在所使用的工艺水平突出。这些元素在物理和概念上都创造了丰富的纹理：一种尊重三个原始结构的历史卷的阶梯形式。

The historic facade of the five story limestone and terra cotta Ferdinand is restored and kept as a landmark, returning life to a building intimately linked to the community of Dudley. The facades of the Curtis, in its Queen Anne red brick style, and the Waterman, built in the Boston Granite style, are comprehensively restored. They maintain the feel and scale of Dudley Square while the central volume to new municipal centre injects a modern aesthetic; understated in form, yet prominent in the level of craftsmanship employed. Together, these elements create a rich texture both physically and conceptually: a stepped form which respects the historic volumes of the three original structures.

以原来的建筑物为例，在设计阶段的普遍想法是，新的市政中心亦应体现一种由来已久的建筑工艺方法。作为一座具有荷兰风格的波士顿建筑，当代对古典分层的诠释体现在砖块工程中，它包含了许多不同的砌体技术，从跑步粘结、堆叠粘结到士兵粘结。砖墙的正面是浮雕的元素，以一种有趣的，‘jazzy’的节奏在彼此之间投下错综复杂的阴影。由于砖的玻璃性质，立面根据天气情况以不同的方式反射光。

Referencing the original buildings, the prevailing thinking during the design phase is that the new municipal centre should also embody a time-honoured approach to craft in construction. As a Bostonian building with a Dutch touch, a contemporary interpretation of classical layering manifests itself in the brick work encompassing a number of different masonry techniques from running bond, to stack bond, to soldier bond. Within the brick facade are elements in relief, casting intricate shadows across one another in a playful, ‘jazzy’ rhythm. Because of the vitreous properties of the brick, the facade reflects light in different ways depending on the weather conditions.

为了庆祝邻近地区作为交通枢纽的历史，历史悠久的铁轨被用作下层的主要流通路线。入口的标志是对铁路的抽象解释，以照亮轨道的形式在你的头上。在中央音量的上方，这座机械阁楼双倍地作为灯塔，宣告达德利广场的“复兴”。

To celebrate the history of the neighbourhood as a transport hub, the void of the historic rail tracks is used as the main circulation route on the lower levels. The entrances are marked by an abstract interpretation of the railway in the form of illuminated rails above your head. Atop the central volume, the mechanical penthouse doubles as a light beacon announcing Dudley Square’s ‘renaissance’.

该设施的底层是一个被称为“新达力广场”的完全公共区域，既提供了社区聚集的空间，也为个人经济发展提供了机会。二楼配备了父母、学生和工作人员界面的空间，以及罗克斯伯里创新中心的所在地。位于费迪南德大楼正面的双高学校委员会室也可用于文化和社区活动。

The ground floor of the facility serves as an entirely public zone – known as the “New Dudley Square” - providing both community gathering space and opportunities for individual economic advancement. The second floor is outfitted with spaces in which parents, students and staff interface, as well as being home to the Roxbury Innovation Center. The double height School Committee Room surrounded by the facade of the Ferdinand building can also be used for cultural and community activities.

 Third Floor Plan

三层平面图

上面有三层楼，有BPS办公室，有灵活的工作空间，从开放的办公楼层到集中的小型办公室，多个会议室，以及现有立面上的空间壁龛。六楼有公共会议室和屋顶露台，可以看到波士顿市中心的大都市和远处的水。这个屋顶空间是独一无二的，是免费的，人人都可以进入。

Above are three floors with BPS offices with flexible work spaces varying from open office floors to small offices for concentration, multiple meeting rooms, and spatial niches along the existing facades. The sixth floor houses public meeting rooms and a roof terrace offering vistas across the metropolis towards downtown Boston and the water beyond. This rooftop space, uniquely, is free and accessible to all.
