波士顿的天际线上有一个新的建筑地标，一个价值5200万美元的住宅大厅，是马萨诸塞州艺术与设计学院的化身。该大楼由建筑公司Add公司设计，使学院的住房容量翻了一番，并提供了一个创新的环境，使493名学生能够以负担得起的州立大学租金生活、学习和玩耍。

There is a new architectural landmark in Boston’s skyline, a $52 million residence hall that personifies the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Designed by architecture firm ADD Inc, the tower doubles the college’s housing capacity and provides an innovative environment where 493 students can live, study and play at affordable, state college rental rates.

新住宅大厅的设计体现了Add公司的创新过程。设计师们借鉴了来自初级和高级工作人员的最佳想法，以协调大学教授、行政人员、学生、受托人、校友和这栋建筑的所有者马萨诸塞州立大学建筑管理局(MSCBA)的目标和愿望。ADD公司进行了深入的基准测试，主持了焦点小组和设计宪章，并为学生开发了全面的模型单元，供学生探索和批评。

The design of the new residence hall exemplifies ADD Inc’s innovative process. Designers drew on the best ideas from junior and senior staff members to harmonize the goals and aspirations of college professors, administrators, students, trustees, alumni and the building’s owner, the Massachusetts State College Building Authority (MSCBA).ADD Inc conducted in-depth benchmarking, hosted focus groups and design charrettes, and developed full-scale mockup units for students to explore and critique.

“MassArt希望这座建筑在波士顿的天际线上脱颖而出，并有意义地将它们定位为一所艺术学院，”Add公司首席建筑师兼校长B.K.Boley说。“这是学生们的想法，这座建筑看起来像一幅画，它和他们一样丰富多彩，充满活力。”Add公司建议Gustav Klimt的“生命之树”，这有助于传达学校的重生和延续。九月，新来的学生居民投票给这座建筑起了个绰号，叫做“树屋”。

“MassArt wanted the building to stand out in the Boston skyline and meaningfully identify them as an art college,” said B.K. Boley, lead architect and principal, ADD Inc. “It was the students’ idea that the building look like a painting and that it be just as colorful and vibrant as they are. ADD Inc suggested Gustav Klimt’s “Tree of Life” which helps convey the school’s rebirth and continuation.” In September, the incoming student residents voted to nickname the building, “The Tree House”.

Add公司从Klimt 1909年著名的绘画中汲取灵感，作为建筑物的隐喻。外观有5500块大胆的金属面板，有五种不同的颜色，分别排列在五种不同的宽度和深度。

ADD Inc drew inspiration from Klimt’s famous 1909 painting as a metaphor for the building. The façade features 5,500 boldly colored metal panels in five custom colors arranged at five different widths and depths.

颜色从底部的深褐色到树皮的镜像，逐渐变浅，使建筑显得更高。绿色的窗板点缀着代表树木叶子的立面。这座建筑在天际线上是如此独特的亮点，它改变了MassArt在艺术大道上的形象和存在。

The colors range from dark brown at the base to mirror tree bark, and grow progressively lighter, making the building appear taller. Green window panels punctuate the façade to represent the tree’s leaves.The building is such a unique highlight in the skyline that it has transformed MassArt’s image and presence along the Avenue of the Arts.

弯曲的底部-这棵树的树干-是为了容纳一条地下隧道，该隧道在工地上急转弯，要求建筑师将上面的长方形建筑悬臂起来。

The curved base – the proverbial trunk of the tree – was designed to accommodate an underground tunnel that swerves through the site and required architects to cantilever the rectangular building above.

持续性，能维持性，永续性:

Sustainability:

住宅大厅的设计和工程决策都是在考虑太阳方向的情况下进行的，大楼北侧的窗户为艺术家的工作提供了有利的光线，而南侧的窗户更少，有助于减少热量。窗户是可操作的，学校使用了一个电子系统，让学生知道什么时候打开或关闭它们是明智的。

The residence hall’s design and engineering decisions were made with solar orientation in mind.Windows on the tower’s north sides provide light favorable to artists’ work and fewer windows on the south side help reduce heat. The windows are operable and the school employs an electronic system that lets students know when it’s advisable to open or close them.
