架构师提供的文本描述。这座建筑包含许多不同的建筑元素，这些元素为整个建筑的构成提供了清晰的说明，同时也是其组成部分的清晰表达。这些要素包括初级稳定结构、梯子框架、办公楼层板、北支撑核心、外部围护结构和公共领域。

Text description provided by the architects. The building comprises a number of distinct architectural elements that provide clarity to the composition both as a whole and as a legible expression of its constituent parts. These elements include the primary stability structure, the ladder frame, the office floor plates, the northern support core, the external envelope and the public realm.

该结构的目的是加强由发展包络定义的几何，这反过来创造了独特的渐缩形式，并采取了一个周边支撑的‘管’的形式，确定了楼板的范围。梯子框架有助于建筑物的垂直强调，并包括消防核心服务于办公楼层。该框架还在视觉上锚定建筑物的地面。

The structure aims to reinforce the geometry defined by the development envelope, which in turn creates the distinctive tapering form, and takes the form of a perimeter braced ‘tube’ that defines the extent of the floor plates. The ladder frame contributes to the vertical emphasis of the building, and encloses the fire-fighting cores that serve the office floors. The frame also visually anchors the building to the ground.

办公楼层采用简单的矩形楼板的形式，其深度向顶点逐渐减小750毫米。办公楼层与每一层的结构“管”相连，而不需要周边的二级垂直柱。

The office floors take the form of simple rectangular floor plates which progressively diminish in depth by 750 millimetres towards the apex. Office floors are connected to the structural ‘tube’ at every floor level without the need for secondary vertical columns at the perimeter.

北支撑核心被认为是一个独立的塔，包括所有乘客和货物升降机，服务提升管，地面工厂和WCS。三组乘客电梯服务于大楼的低、中、高三层，并在第十层和第二十四层由两个换乘大厅连接。

The northern support core is conceived as a detached tower containing all passenger and goods lifts, service risers, on-floor plant and WCs. Three groups of passenger lifts serve the low, mid and high rise sections of the building, and are connected by two transfer lobbies at levels ten and 24.

 Northern Support Core Model

北支核心模型

北部支撑核心相对于办公区域的位置意味着，该结构不需要过度覆盖防火，从而可以将整个建筑设计成可见的钢结构。这种铰接式钢框架为整个装配提供了清晰的说明。

The position of the northern support core relative to the office areas means that the structure is not required to be over-clad with fire protection, allowing the whole to be designed and expressed as visible steelwork. This articulated steel frame provides clarity to the whole assemblage.

高度透明的玻璃围护设施显示了内部的结构和运动系统；它的物理存在是一个引人注目和充满活力的城市，也是一个独特的景观，为路人的享受。

The highly transparent glazed enclosure makes manifest the structure and movement systems within; its physical presence is a striking and dynamic addition to the City and a unique spectacle for the enjoyment for passers-by.

该建筑的设计是为了表达所有的组成元素背后的一个单一的玻璃信封。办公区域的正面要求最高的舒适标准与热损失，日光，眩光控制和太阳能增益有关。在这里，正面是补充了双层玻璃的内部层，形成了一个空腔，其中包含了结构框架。外部玻璃采用节点水平的通风口，允许外部空气进入并从空腔排出。在腔内控制的百叶窗自动调整，以限制不必要的太阳增益和眩光。

The building is designed to express all the constituent elements behind a single glazed envelope. Facades to the office areas require the highest comfort criteria in relation to heat loss, daylight, glare control and solar gain. Here, the facade is supplemented with an internal layer of double-glazing, forming a cavity which incorporates the structural frame. The external glazing incorporates vents at node levels to allow outside air to enter and discharge from the cavity. Controlled blinds in the cavity automatically adjust to limit unwanted solar gain and glare.

建筑物的较低层位于斜角上，形成一个向南延伸的大公共空间。这座半封闭的大教堂式空间的壮观规模在伦敦是史无前例的，它本身将创造一个重要的新会议场所和一个独特的目的地。俯瞰空间是广阔的露台区域，在酒吧和餐厅，提供动画和景观进入公共空间和更远。这个外壳在地面是开放的，允许从各个方向进入。公共空间完全可以通过一个大的，轻轻倾斜的表面连接圣海伦广场和Leadenhall街。

The lower levels of the building are recessed on a raking diagonal to create a large public space that opens up to the south. The spectacular scale of the semi-enclosed, cathedral-like space is without precedent in London and will create a major new meeting place and a unique destination in itself. Overlooking the space are generous terrace areas within a bar and restaurant that provide animation and views into the public space and beyond. This enclosure is open at ground level to give access from all directions. The public space is fully accessible by means of a large, gently raked surface connecting St Helen’s Square with Leadenhall Street.
