架构师提供的文本描述。位于洛桑日内瓦湖沿岸的林荫大道上，M rsk Mc-Kinney M ller中心是RDR为国际管理发展研究所(IMD)的校园设想的第四栋建筑，这是一个以前的住宅区。该建筑响应了发展历史建筑的PPA(PPA)计划，该计划规定了结构的体积、位置和高度。

Text description provided by the architects. Situated on a tree-lined avenue along the shore of Lake Geneva in Lausanne, the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center is the fourth building conceived by RDR for the campus of the International Institute for Management Development (IMD), a former residential estate. The building responds to the Plan Partiel d’Affectation (PPA) for the development of the historic Campagne des Cèdres, whose regulations defined the volume, position, and height of the structure.

其结果是一个相当深的计划，44×49米，循环和公共空间组织在一个玻璃中庭横跨整个建筑的高度，与一个开放的露台在阁楼水平确保自然光在整个内部存在。

The result is a rather deep plan, 44 by 49 meters, in which circulation and common spaces are organized around a glazed atrium spanning the full height of the building, which together with an open terrace on the attic level ensures the presence of natural light throughout the interior.

主体空间的灵活空间被设计为各种教学项目服务，它似乎在一楼看似空旷的空间上盘旋在建筑物的组成上，主入口通向一个宽敞的门厅，旁边是一个350个座位的礼堂和一个面向湖面的餐厅。会议室和大小不等的小演讲厅分布在一楼的大楼周围。

The main volume, whose flexible spaces are designed to serve a variety of teaching programs, dominates the composition of the building by appearing to hover over the seemingly empty space of the ground floor, where the main entrance leads into a spacious foyer flanked by a 350-seat auditorium and a dining room facing the lake. Meeting rooms and small lecture halls of varying sizes are ranged around the perimeter of the building on the first floor.

一楼悬挂在礼堂上方，由在屋顶水平出现的三角形钢梁组成的网络支撑，这些钢梁在屋顶上也起到了部分遮阳的作用，为露天露台提供部分遮阳。最低楼面高度允许最佳利用建筑物的内部空间，同时将静态高度转移到屋顶上，以补偿结构的有限大小。一个停车场和服务舱隐藏在较低的层，一个灌木丛锤击钢筋混凝土桥墩半淹没在斜坡的地形。

Suspended above the auditorium, the first floor is supported by a network of triangulated steel beams that emerge at the level of the roof, where they also act as a pergola to provide partial shading for an open terrace. The minimum floor height allowed for optimum use of the building's interior space, while transferring the static height onto the roofing compensated for the limited size of the structure.  A parking garage and service spaces are concealed in the lower level, a bush-hammered reinforced concrete plinth half-submerged following the slope of the terrain. 

创新的静态系统满足了灵活教学空间的任务要求，可以随着时间的推移加以调整，以适应目前和未来不可预见的目的。考虑到这一结构性决定，立面自由地表达了室内空间的多样性。大的玻璃隔间展示了一楼公共空间和餐厅的开放性，尽管礼堂配备了可移动的面板，如果有必要，可以将其关闭。金属面板表面涂有自定义的白色漆，可以一瞥一楼的会议室。与其明亮的光度相比，底层黑色漆膜玻璃的不透明度唤起了遥远的空隙，增强了连续外墙层的带状光圈的动态特性，减轻了建筑体积的表达。

The innovative static system satisfied the mandate for flexible teaching spaces that could be adapted over time to accommodate present as well as unforeseeable future purposes. Given this structural decision, the facades freely express the diversity of the interior spaces. The large glazed bay reveals the openness of the public spaces and dining room on the ground floor, although the auditorium is equipped with moveable panels that allow it to be closed off if necessary. Sheet metal facade cladding coated with a custom white lacquer affords a glimpse of the seminar rooms on the first floor. In contrast with its brilliant luminosity, the opacity of the black enameled glass of the ground level below evokes the far reaches of void space, heightening the dynamic character of successive facade layers with their banded apertures and lightening the expression of the building volume.

IMD M rsk Mc-Kinney M ller中心被授予2009年瑞士建筑工程奖(Prix Suisse de la Construction métallique Prix acier)。陪审团裁定：“这座建筑以一种吸引人的方式展示了钢在多层建筑中的经济和生态用途。尽管这些材料几乎看不见，但房屋的慷慨和优雅以及它们的亮度证明了金属结构的潜力。“

The IMD Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center was awarded the 2009 Prix Suisse de la construction métallique Prix Acier. The jury determined that “this building illustrates in an attractive way the economical and ecological use of steel in multi-floor structures. Even though the material is barely visible, the generosity and elegance of the premises and their luminosity testify to the potential of metallic construction."
