这座新大楼是Schw bisch Media(Swabian Media)的一个办公室，该公司是一家活跃于传统和新媒体许多方面的出版公司。六个突出的玻璃墙立方体定义和组成了这个项目，他们的比例和尺寸的基础上，周围的传统德国法夫克别墅在拉文斯堡市。这六个工作区堆放在一层透明的底层，每一层都可以进入，在这座中世纪城市的中心形成了一种新的城市类型。由于该公司的活动以前分散在上斯瓦比亚地区，这座大楼将所有350名雇员集中在一个屋檐下。

This new building is an office for Schwäbisch Media (Swabian Media), a publishing company active in many facets of traditional and new media. Six protruding glass- walled cubes define and compose the project, with their proportions and dimensions based on the surrounding traditional German fachwerk villas in the city of Ravensburg. These six working areas have been stacked on top of a transparent ground floor, through which access is afforded to each, creating a new urban typology in the center of this medieval city. As the company’s activities were previously scattered throughout the Upper Swabia region, this building brings all 350 employees under one roof.

该项目的周界是一个丝网炸碎玻璃栅栏，在高度从1-4.5米不等。这种半透明的膜提供了额外的安全性，并以8米宽的大门的形式设置了一个超大的中央入口，白天开放，晚上关闭。这一围栏使成群的卷具有单一的身份，也使六个单独的工作区域得以单独区分。因此，这个新的办公室可以被看作是几个单独的建筑，共享一个共同的包围皮肤，一个持续的城市干预，流畅地交织在内部和外部。

Wrapping the project’s perimeter is a silkscreen fritted glass fence varying in height from 1-4.5 meters. This semi-transparent membrane provides additional security and features an oversized centrally located entrance in the form of an 8-meter wide gate, opening during the day and closing at night. Lending a singular identity to the clustered volumes, this fence also allows the six individual working areas to be individually distinguished. Therefore, this new office can be perceived as both several individual buildings, sharing a common enclosing skin, and one continuous urban intervention that fluidly interweaves interior and exterior.

工作区域的楼层高度各不相同，由一系列室外露台连接，这些露台既是外部捷径，也是许多媒体部门之间的交流和休息区域。这些外部平台激活了大楼，鼓励了员工之间的非正式交流，平衡了开放的内部办公空间。办公室的柱式免费室内空间的混合特性，以及整个IT和数据电缆的凸起楼层，使建筑保持灵活，并适应未来的用途。这栋建筑的五个楼梯、停车场和大多数天花板都是用外露混凝土建造的，辅之以额外的铝制声学面板。

The working areas vary in floor height, and are connected by a series of outdoor terraces, which serve as external shortcuts, but also as communication and resting areas, between the many media departments. These exterior terraces activate the building, encouraging informal communication among the building’s employees, balancing with the generously open interior office spaces. The hybrid nature of the office’s column free interior spaces, and the raised floors throughout for IT and data cables, allows the building to remain flexible and adaptable to future uses. The building’s five staircases, parking garage, and most ceilings have been created using exposed concrete, supplemented with additional aluminum acoustic panels.

地热能加热室内，计算机控制的遮阳罩覆盖着六个玻璃立方体工作区的外部。根据一天、一年和太阳曝晒的时间，一种算法进一步确定阴影系统的哪些部分应该降低。办公室工作人员可以手动覆盖这些遮阳篷，扩大建筑物的住宅特性。在周边玻璃栅栏和底层的丝网印刷，使人想起风中吹起的卷尾草的图像，提供了进一步的保护免受太阳能的增加，同时确保了雇员在街道上的内部隐私。

Geothermal energy heats the interior, and a computer-controlled sunshade drapes the exteriors of the six glass-cubed working areas. Depending on the time of day, year, and exposure of the sun, an algorithm further determines whichportions of the shading system should be lowered. Office employees can manually override these sunshades, expanding upon the building’s domestic character. The silkscreened print on the perimeter glass fence and ground floor, which recalls the image of curtails blowing in the wind, provides further protection from solar gain, while ensuring interior privacy for employees at street level.
