施瓦茨/银建筑师

架构师提供的文本描述。作为总务管理局卓越设计计划的一部分，施瓦茨/西尔弗对A.H.McCoy联邦大楼和新的安全展馆进行现代化改造，极大地改变了密西西比州杰克逊的城市景观。建筑师们利用这个机会重新定义了这个地方的城市和联邦政府之间的关系。重新设想的广场为使用该建筑的员工和游客提供了一个城市景观绿洲。通过向现场角落伸出手来，这座规模庞大的安全展馆为这座建筑创造了一个欢迎的入口。

Text description provided by the architects. Constructed as part of the General Services Administration’s Design Excellence program, Schwartz/Silver’s modernization of the A. H. McCoy Federal Building and new security pavilion has dramatically changed the urban landscape in Jackson, Mississippi. The architects took the opportunity to redefine the relationship between the city and the federal government at this site. The re-envisioned plaza provides a landscaped oasis in the city for the employees and visitors who utilize the building. And by reaching out towards the corner of the site, the invitingly scaled security pavilion creates a welcoming entry point for the building.

麦科伊联邦大楼翻修的任务包括改善无障碍环境、可持续性和空间标准；新的建筑系统；以及该大楼20个联邦机构的安全进入。受密西西比河蜿蜒变化的启发，展馆的入口檐弯弯曲曲，欢迎行人。展馆的带状外观是白色的铝皮，与原塔的颜色相匹配。在金属表面的前面，铝制的缎带支撑着在没有外墙的情况下飘浮的碎玻璃瓦。浮在建筑物表面的玻璃瓦是明亮的、半透明的和短暂的。

The mandate for the renovation of the McCoy Federal Building included improved accessibility, sustainability and space standards; new building systems; and a secure entry for the building’s twenty federal agencies.  Inspired by the Mississippi River’s changing meanders, the pavilion’s entry canopies curve out to welcome pedestrians. The ribbon-like façades of the pavilion are clad in white aluminum skin matching the color of the original tower. In front of that metal surface, aluminum ribbons support fritted glass shingles that hover free of the façade. The glass shingles, floating in front of the building skin, are luminous, translucent and ephemeral.

这座建筑的现代化改造了布鲁塔式的办公楼及其周围的景观。除了改善无障碍环境和全面翻新建筑系统外，建筑师还能够与总务管理局合作，为建筑租户和杰克逊市实现更难以捉摸的目标。使用大约15%的整体预算，一个新的安全亭和场地景观改变了建筑的特点，在一个更受欢迎，安全和可持续的方向。

The modernization of the building reimagined the Brutalist-style office building and its surrounding landscape. In addition to accessibility improvements and the complete renovation of building systems, the architect was able to work with the General Services Administration to achieve something more elusive for the building tenants and the City of Jackson. Using approximately 15% of the overall budget, a new security pavilion and site landscaping transformed the building character in a more welcoming, secure and sustainable direction.
