这个2，200平方英尺的展馆和广场在爱荷华州得梅因市中心的得梅内河上占据着突出的位置。这座建筑是新的“主河漫步”的关键部分-这是一项耗资5000万美元的公共/私人合作项目，将重振河岸，吸引得梅因的居民回到河边。这座建筑毗邻一条新的休闲小径，一条街道水平的长廊和一条河边长廊，连接着历史悠久的法院大道大桥的西端。

This 2,200 square foot pavilion and plaza occupy a prominent site along the Des Moines River in downtown Des Moines, Iowa. The building is a key part of the new Principal Riverwalk – a $50 million public/private partnership which will revitalize the riverfront and draw Des Moines’ residents back to the river. The building sits adjacent to a new recreational trail, street level promenade and riverfront promenade anchoring the west end of the historic Court Avenue Bridge.

这座三角形的建筑被认为是一个水晶空间，坐落在一个由相邻的小径、街道和长廊组成的倾斜的、船形广场的船头上。这个晶体，反过来，被折叠的黑色锌皮所包裹。这种皮肤是有选择地展开，以提供全景的看法，从上层咖啡厅。由此形成的屋顶悬垂为东面和南面的建筑提供太阳能保护。西面是“百叶窗”，可以看到向北的上游，同时遮挡着严酷的西方太阳。

The triangular building was conceived as a crystalline space resting at the prow of a gently sloping, boat-shaped plaza formed by the adjacent trails, streets and promenades. This crystal is, in turn, shrouded by a folded black zinc skin. This skin is selectively unfolded to provide panoramic views out of the upper level café. The resulting roof overhangs provide solar protection to the buildings east and south façades. The west façade is “louvered” to allow for views upriver to the north while blocking the harsh, western sun.

咖啡厅的内部是一个单一的玻璃餐厅空间，南面有一个坚固的混凝土“烟囱”，西边是一个木和钢的“厨房”块。这两个要素的放置使东岸的正面完全畅通无阻，同时将景观定格到南部广场。这个水晶咖啡厅似乎悬停在一组从广场挖掘出来的服务空间上方。这些较低层的空间包括公共厕所和中央洗手喷泉，以及电气和机械空间。这座建筑激活了公共广场，创造了一个可以理解的“地方”。建筑师与大得梅因公共艺术基金会和国际公认的艺术家，君Kaneko，定位特定地点的艺术品，以进一步振兴这一空间。

The interior of the café is a single, glass dining space with a solid concrete “chimney” to the south and a wood and steel “kitchen” block to the west. The placement of these two elements allows the east, riverfront façade to be completely unobstructed while framing views to the southern plaza. This crystalline café appears to hover above a set of service spaces excavated out of the plaza. These lower level spaces include public restrooms and a central hand-wash fountain, as well as electrical and mechanical spaces. The building activates the public plaza and creates an understandable “place”. The architect worked with the Greater Des Moines Public Art Foundation and internationally recognized artist, Jun Kaneko, to locate site specific artwork to further energize this space.

这一系列的大型陶瓷作品，叫做丹戈斯，已经成为标志性的作品.该建筑采用了许多可持续的节能策略，包括地热加热和冷却、日光采集和LED照明，大大降低了运营和生命周期成本。其结果是一个成功吸引得梅因人返回河流的目的地。

This series of large-scale ceramic works, called Dangos, have become iconic. The building employs a number of sustainable and energy conservation strategies including geothermal heating and cooling, daylight harvesting, and LED lighting, significantly reducing both operating and life-cycle costs. The result is a destination that successfully draws the citizens of Des Moines back to the river.
