架构师提供的文本描述。谢泼德·罗布森(Sheppard Robson)位于阿布扎比马斯达尔市(Masdar City)的西门子中东总部本周正式开业，为中东地区的可持续办公大楼建立了新的基准。22，800平方米的建筑，漂浮在一个新的公共广场之上，是一个严格的简短的结果。这是由西门子和马斯达提出的，然后由谢泼德·罗布森(Sheppard Robson)开发，目的是创建一座真正经过优化的建筑，以尽可能以每平方米与阿联酋一个典型总部相同的成本提供最可持续的建筑。

Text description provided by the architects. Sheppard Robson’s Siemens Middle East Headquarters at Masdar City, Abu Dhabi, officially opened this week, establishing a new benchmark for sustainable office buildings in the Middle East. The 22,800 m2 structure, which floats above a new public plaza, is the result of a stringent brief. This was proposed by Siemens and MASDAR then developed by Sheppard Robson to create a building that is truly optimised for its purpose, delivering the most sustainable building possible for the same cost per square metre as a typical headquarters in the UAE.

西门子中东总部是该地区第一批实现LEED白金的建筑之一。可持续的证书是通过将传统设计与参数分析相结合来实现的，以提供一种高效而紧凑的形式，使用更少的材料，尽量减少碳的含量。

The Siemens Middle East Headquarters is one of the first buildings in the region to achieve LEED Platinum. The sustainable credentials were achieved through combining traditional design and parametric analysis to deliver an efficient and compact form that uses less material and minimises embodied carbon.

办公楼层-其中60%以上由西门子占据-浮在公共广场的上方，并遮住了广场，这座广场连接着现有相邻的平台和更正式的广场之间的水平变化。广场被设计为现有公共领域的梯级延伸，并鼓励行人在该地点的中心移动。这个共用的公共空间通过一系列外部“房间”、零售单元和两个全玻璃化的办公室招待会得到进一步加强。

The office floors – over 60% of which are occupied by Siemens - float above and shade the public plaza, which connects the level change between the existing adjacent podium and the more formal square. The plaza has been designed as a terraced extension of the existing public realm and encourages pedestrian movement within the heart of the site. This shared public space is further enhanced by a series of external ‘rooms’, retail units and two fully glazed office receptions.

这座建筑的信封被设想成一个盒子里的一个盒子。内部部分是一个高度绝缘，密闭的立面，旨在降低导热系数；周围是一个轻质铝外部遮阳系统，以尽量减少太阳增益，同时最大限度地利用日光和从建筑物的看法。以轻质铝鳍为特征的遮阳系统形式的变化为建筑物创造了一种强大的建筑语言，每个立面都为其太阳方向量身定做。

The building’s envelope was conceived as a box within a box. The inner section is a highly-insulated, airtight façade designed to reduce thermal conductivity; surrounding this is a lightweight aluminium external shading system that minimises solar gain whilst maximising daylight and views from the building. The variation in the form of the shading systems, characterised by light-weight aluminium fins, creates a strong architectural language for the building, with each facade tailored to suit its solar orientation.

该建筑的超大楼板，每块面积为4500平方米，采用参数化造型对效率、日光和灵活性进行了优化，达到了90%以上的效率。楼板由9个中庭点缀，由6个周边核心提供，完全没有立柱。创新的结构体系使建筑材料减少了大约60%，并为办公空间规划提供了最大的灵活性。这项安排使四层办公室的每一层都能细分为不同空间的组合，因此，随着时间的推移，可以灵活地对大楼进行改建，以容纳多达32名租户。

The building’s super-sized floorplates, each measuring 4,500m2, have been optimised for efficiency, daylight and flexibility using parametric modelling and achieves over 90% efficiency. The floor plates, punctuated by nine atria and served by six perimeter cores are completely column-free. An innovative structural system reduces the material used in construction by approximately 60% and provides maximum flexibility for the office space planning. The arrangement enables each of the four office floors to be subdivided into a combination of various space sizes and therefore creates flexibility for the building to be remodelled over time to accommodate up to 32 tenants.

谢泼德·罗布森(Sheppard Robson)合伙人戴维·阿迪尔(David Ardill)表示：“无论是在当地还是在国际上，这栋建筑的接待都非常棒，许多人认识到，将该项目的研究成果应用于中东及其他地区的其他项目的潜力很大。”

David Ardill, Partner at Sheppard Robson, said: “The reception of the building, both locally and internationally, has been fantastic with many recognising the potential for applying the findings from the project to other schemes in the Middle East and beyond.

“我们没有以预先确定的美学来对待这个项目；相反，我们从内部开始研究为建筑创造一个真正可持续的解决方案的最佳方法。”这一过程驱动的方法已经产生了一种令人难以置信的环境效率结构，而且在商业上也是严格的。“

“We didn’t approach the project with a predetermined aesthetic; instead, we worked from the inside-out to investigate the best way of creating a truly sustainable solution for the building. This process-driven approach has resulted in an incredibly environmentally efficient structure that is also commercially rigorous.”
