架构师提供的文本描述。Grundfos Kol军团的显著特点之一是在奥胡斯新海港开发项目的中心提供学生住宅，即在一个非常吸引人的地方建造一栋低成本的住宅。和其他许多工业港口一样，原奥胡斯集装箱港口正被改造成一个充满活力的新社区。Grundfos Kol军团是该地区首批完成的项目之一，该项目完工后将有7 000名居民，并提供12 000处工作场所。其总面积达80万平方米，使这一发展成为欧洲最大的港口前沿城市开发项目之一。

Text description provided by the architects. One of Grundfos Kollegiet’s remarkable characteristics is providing student housings in the heart of Aarhus’ new harbour front development – that is, a low cost residential building on a very attractive site. Like many other industrial harbor fronts, the former container port of Aarhus is being transformed into a dynamic new neighborhood. Grundfos Kollegiet is one of the first finished projects in the area that on completion will be home to 7,000 inhabitants and provide 12,000 workplaces. Its total site area amounts to 800,000 m2 making this development one of Europe’s largest harbor front city developments.

为了加强建筑物的主要目的，即为学生提供学习时居住的场所，该项目以垂直条纹作为书籍的隐喻。从远处看，这座建筑看上去就像书架上的书，而靠近时，它就像一座浓缩的微型曼哈顿，有一小捆迷你塔。每座小塔内外都有不同的材料和窗户。这创造了各种各样的居住环境，适合单身人士、夫妇或朋友一起居住。这些塔的设计高度不同，以便在屋顶上纳入技术设施，突出主入口，并提供屋顶顶部露台，可俯瞰滨水区和城市。这些纯粹的功能考虑最终让这个微型曼哈顿拥有了自己独特的天际线。

To reinforce the primary purpose of the building, which is to provide a place for students to live while they study, the project works with vertical stripes as a metaphor for books. From afar this makes the building look like books on a shelf, while close up it resembles a condensed micro Manhattan with small bundles of mini towers. Each little tower is treated differently both inside and out with different materials and window openings. This creates a variety of living accommodation, suitable for singles, couples or friends living together. The towers are designed to be different heights in order to incorporate technical facilities on the roof, accentuate the main entrance and provide a roof top terrace with a view over the waterfront and the city. These purely functional considerations end up giving this micro Manhattan a unique skyline of its own.

“塔”被放置在网站周边，建立一个开放的内部空间，使用一个简单的设计策略，创造一个具有吸引力的功能以及壮观的美学品质的中庭。每个公寓都是从阳台到达的，阳台将12层的中庭用镜子覆盖的阳台正面包裹起来。镜子正在通过扩大相对狭窄的中庭来改变空间感，这些中庭有着无尽的千变万化的自身反射和人们通过它的过程。

The ‘towers’ are placed on the perimeter of the site establishing an open inner space that uses a simple design strategy to create an atrium with attractive functional as well as spectacular aesthetic qualities. The individual apartments are reached from balconies, which are encasing the 12-story atrium with mirror clad balcony fronts. The mirrors are transforming the sense of space by expanding the relatively narrow atrium with endless kaleidoscopic reflections of itself and the people moving through it.

镜子还有助于更活跃的公共空间，支持社会方面的宿舍楼。倒影帮助定位跨越几个楼层，从一个位置，让你看到的人或活动，是直接位于你的下面或之上。以类似的方式，中庭的颜色增强了跨楼层的方向。作为一个相当于立面的划分为塔楼，图形和公寓门的颜色是用来形成垂直带红色，橙色和黄色从底部到顶层。

The mirrors also contribute to a more activating common space by supporting the social aspects of a dormitory building. The reflections assist orientation across several floors from one location allowing you to see people or activities that are located directly beneath or above you. In a similar way, the colours in the atrium enhance orientation across floors. As an equivalent to the façade’s division into towers, the graphic and apartment door colours are used to form vertical bands of red, orange and yellow from the bottom to the top floor.

除了是一种低成本的方法，创造引人注目的空间特征，镜子还减少了人工照明的需要，从大天窗一直反射到大厅的最大日光。

Besides being a low cost method to create striking spatial features, the mirrors also reduce the need for artificial lighting by reflecting a maximum of daylight from the large skylight all the way down to the lobby.
