乍一看，这些建筑似乎与它们的上下文没有直接关系，但建筑师根据特定地点的参数开发了标志性的建筑形式。两个混凝土核心墙迎接州际公路，围绕着工地的北部和西部。在南面，倾斜的玻璃墙延伸到景观上。从远处看，这些建筑在平坦的地形上以一系列的还原形式脱颖而出。巨大的浇筑混凝土墙达到11层，使人类的规模相形见绌。他们简约的外表掩盖了内部办公室的更小、更温暖的质量。

At first glance, the buildings do not appear to relate directly to their context, but the architects developed the iconic form according to site-specific parameters. Two concrete core walls greet the interstate highways bounding the site to the north and west. To the south, sloped walls of glass open onto the landscape. From a distance, the buildings stand out as a series of reductive forms on the flat terrain. The colossal, poured concrete walls reach eleven stories, dwarfing the human scale. Their reductive exteriors belie the smaller, warmer quality of the offices within. 

浇筑混凝土结构由30英尺网格上圆柱支撑的楼板组成。员工穿过巨大的停车场，从核心墙的空白处进入大楼。14英尺宽的墙壁容纳浴室、电梯和服务功能，每一层都有一个不间断的平面图。浇铸混凝土的双高桥梁跨越各个建筑物之间的空隙，让居住者能够在二楼和三楼运行该建筑群。

The poured concrete structure is comprised of floor slabs supported by cylindrical columns on a 30 foot grid. Crossing the vast parking lot, employees enter the buildings through voids in the blank faces of the core walls. The 14 feet wide walls house the bathrooms, elevators, and service functions, resulting in an uninterrupted floor plan at each level. Double height bridges of cast concrete span the gaps between individual buildings, allowing occupants to circulate the complex at the second and third floors.

Roche和Dinkeloo根据方案要求设计了倾斜形式。楼板的大小各不相同，可以容纳公司内部的一系列部门。为了减少电梯的使用，大部分人口占据了最低和最大的楼层，包括自助餐厅，而高管们则共用最顶层的楼层。倾斜的玻璃墙从地板延伸到每一层的天花板，比垂直方向的窗户提供更大的玻璃表面面积。混凝土核心墙之间的裂缝可以将北光带入开放的办公室。

Roche and Dinkeloo devised the sloped form in response to programmatic requirements. The floor plates vary in size to house a range of departments within the company. To reduce elevator usage, the greater portion of the population occupies the lowest and largest floors, including the cafeteria, while the executives share the topmost. The slanted glass walls stretch from the floor to the ceiling at each level, offering greater glazed surface area than vertically oriented windows. A fissure between the concrete core walls admits northern light into the open offices.

52英尺高的隔间将空间分割成单独的区域，而不影响视图或光线。他们被覆盖在反射钢中，以减少隔板的视觉存在。定期安装的荧光灯是通过点状塑料天花板，补充自然光。

52 foot high partitions divide the space into individual areas without compromising views or light. They are clad in reflective steel to diminish the visual presence of the partitions. Fluorescent lighting installed at regular intervals is diffused by stippled plastic ceiling panels, supplementing the natural light.

纽约市博物馆最近展出了罗氏的作品。罗氏和Dinkeloo在1961年Eero Saarinen去世后领导Eero Saarinen公司时开始了他们的合作。他们以玻璃和混凝土的创新结构而闻名，包括哥伦布骑士大厦和福特基金会总部。

The Museum of the City of New York recently featured an exhibition of Roche's work. Roche and Dinkeloo began their partnership while heading the firm of Eero Saarinen following his death in 1961. They are known for several innovative structures of glass and concrete, including the Knights of Columbus Building and the Ford Foundation Headquarters.
