架构师提供的文本描述。2010年，当建筑师们被邀请进入概念设计阶段时，人们普遍认为，包括场地在内的区域将在未来10年内转变为一个商业区(建筑面积比例将发生变化：250%-400%)。客户在设计中需要三个重要的因素。首先，设计不应孤立于周边建筑，而应获得公司的品牌形象。第二，考虑到这是与IT相关的公司因此需要高度的安全性，这限制了空缺。第三，为员工和公众提供一家小型剧院和一家画廊，以了解首尔艺术中心将继续存在的文化背景(请注意，首尔艺术中心离KHvatec总部很近)。

Text description provided by the architects. In 2010, when the architects were invited to the concept design phase, it was widespread that the area including the site would transform into a commercial zone (change in Floor-Area Ratio to occur: 250% - 400%) within next 10 years. The client required three important factors into the design. First, the design should not stand out alone from the neighboring buildings, but still acquire the company¡¯s brand image. Second, to consider that it is IT related company therefore requires high-security, which limits openings. Third, to include a small theater and a gallery for the employees and the public in respect to cultural context that will continue from Seoul Art Center (note that Seoul Art Center is in close proximity of KHvatec Headquarters).

根据上述三个要求，在设计中有两个问题需要回答。首先是要问，我们如何提供一个具有很大灵活性的系统，以便对未来可能发生的变化(就最低比率而言)作出积极的反应？该系统如何与办公建筑新类型的客户要求以及在城市环境中的应用共存？针对这些问题和要求，建筑师们得出了立面结构网系统的结论。

With the above three requirements, there were two questions to be answered within the design. First was to ask; How can we provide a system with much flexibility that would respond positively to the future changes (in regards to floor to area ratio) that might occur? And, How can this system coexist with the client request of new typology of an office building and the application into the urban environment? In response to these questions and request, the architects came to a conclusion of facade structural net system.

目前的分区面积比率要求为250%，将来分区变化时将增加到400%。剩余的150%是通过浮甲板系统利用蒙皮与结构之间的空间来实现的。

Current zone requires Floor-Area Ratio of 250%, and it would increase to 400% when the zoning changes in the future. And the remaining 150% would be achieved through utilizing the space between the skin and the structure through the floating deck system.

在每一层，有两个浮动甲板，作为一个结构梁，也作为一个室外露台的办公室工作人员谁在室内工作超过8小时一天。由于甲板彼此不重叠，它被排除在总楼面面积之外，并提供视觉传达。此外，办公空间被一个不太暴露的层包围，并提供更高级别的安全。

On each floor, there are 2 floating decks which perform as a structural beam; also as an outdoor terrace for the office employees who work indoors more than 8 hours a day. As the decks do not overlap one another, it is excluded from the total-floor area and provides a visual communication. In addition, the office space is surrounded by a layer where it is not exposed too much and offers a higher level of security.

盾构机是该公司的移动设备之一，是设计建筑物立面结构网的动机。它通过产品的配置表示来表示品牌的身份。这一安排还允许在每个层次上不同的城市景观特征。此外，帧间隔和密度的调整从先前存在的上下文中最小化了异质性.

The Shield Can Frame, one of the company mobile items, was the motive in designing Facade Structural Net for the building. It was to represent the brand identity through configuration representation of the product. This arrangement also allows different identity of urban landscape at each level. Furthermore, the adjustment of frame intervals and density minimized heterogeneity from the pre-existing context.
