NOATUM公司是一家新公司，由于其前期作为DraGados港口，它在港口部门积累了丰富的经验。该公司是西班牙在管理、运输和港口物流活动方面的领军企业，2011年在27个港口码头拥有1600多名员工，并拥有39个百万标准箱的集装箱运输业务。诺塔姆的名字起源于斯堪的纳维亚神话，意思是“船之城”。同时，它也是海洋与风之神NJ rdor城堡的名字。一个与繁荣与安全的概念相联系的具有启发性和启发性的名字，…。与公司的价值观一致。

NOATUM is a new company which gathers an extense experience in the Port sector due to its previous stage as Dragados Ports. It is the Spanish leader in managing, shipping and port logistic activities, being present in 27 port terminals with over 1600 employees and a container shipping movement of 3,9 milion TEUS in 2011. The origin of Noatum’s name goes back to the scandinavian mythology and means “city of ships”. At the same time it is the name of the castle of Njördor, god of the sea and wind. A name evocative and inspirational which is linked to the concept of prosperity and security… aligned with the company’s values.

2011年一开始，他们就决定把总部从马德里迁到西班牙首都的自然港巴伦西亚，在该市最大的扩张和投射区…，为新的有代表性的设施下注。在港口和城市之间。

At the very begining of 2011 it was decided to move their headquarters from Madrid to Valencia, natural harbour of the Spanish Capital city, betting for new representative facilities at the city’s greatest expansion and projection area… between the port and the city.

诺塔姆总部位于办公大楼的10楼。它有一个困难的几何共存与圆形的“船形”周长的正面和一个网格的柱在其内部空间，这使得不可能解决设计与正交的共同功能设计。

Noatum HQ is located on the 10th floor of an office complex. It had a difficult geometrical coexistence with a rounded “boat-shaped” perimeter on the facade and a grid of columns in its interior space which made impossible to solve the design with an orthogonal common functional design.

为了解决这个问题，我们向客户提出了萨沃伊花瓶的形状和设计价值，作为解决方案的参考。…和芬兰馆在1939年纽约展览作为一个应用在建筑。

To give an answer to this issue we proposed to the client the Savoy Vase shape and design values as a reference for the solution. … and the Finnish Pavilion at the 1939 NYC exhibition as an aplication in architecture.

最初设计于1936年，阿尔瓦·阿尔托(Alvar Aalto)用这种独特的形状推动了这个信封，它将永远保持现代。作为反对工业生产的声明，萨沃伊花瓶提倡人的思想需求。有机的，多才多艺的和持久的，它仍然是今天的畅销书形式在各种玻璃花瓶，托盘和碗…。

Originally designed in 1936, Alvar Aalto pushed the envelope with this unique shape that will remain forever modern. As a statement against industrial production, the Savoy vase promoted human minded needs. Organic, versatile and enduring, it is still today a best seller taking form in a variety of glass vases, trays and bowls…

我们遵循了一个创造性的过程，建立了一个系统。一种投射多个特定设计的方法。在Aalto的有机几何图形和重要性的启发下，我们也应该能够吸收客户在定义新公司的业务时所做的程序更改。这个系统碰巧对这些变化非常灵活，而项目的形象却保持不变。

We followed a creative process stablishing a system. A way of projecting more than one specific design. Inspired on Aalto’s organic geometries and materiality, we should also be able to absorb the program changes made by the client when defining the new company’s operation. This system happend to be extremly flexible to those changes while the project’s image remained the same.

我们设计了一个无障碍的开放式连续空间，遵循开放式办公的概念，包括操作工作站、公用区域和分配区，并访问…。与其他封闭的区域，包含在三个弯曲的空间，存储程序，管理办公室，高级管理和会议室。

We designed an open continuous space without barriers following the concept of “open office” with operational workstations, common and distribution areas and accesses… Opposed to other enclosed areas contained in three curved volumes with the storage program, management offices, high Management and meetingrooms.

定义空格，但不包围它们，…建立一个从最公共领域到最严格的开放区域的等级体系：从入口到…西部卡拉特拉瓦标志性的艺术和科学城市。在…东部的董事会休息区的海景和港口景观在一种“长廊建筑”中逐渐变得更加私密。我们强行走了一条最长的路才能到达会议室，把宽敞的感觉扩大到了客户和访客，他们可能会认为办公室比实际规模还要大。

Defining spaces but not enclosing them… creating a hierarchy of linked open areas from the most public into the most restrictive: From the entrance with views over the Calatrava’s iconic City of Arts and Sciences on the west… to the sea and port views of the Boardroom’s resting area on the east … in a sort of “promenade architecturale” progressively more private. We forced the longest route possible to get to the boardroom, oversizing the spacious perception to clients and visitors who may get the idea that the office is bigger than actually it is.

MATERIALITY

建筑设计的主要任务是确定如何实现封闭的体积。我们需要找到一个干净、经济和强有力的解决方案，以便一次保持概念和形状。我们解决了它的选择，在外部的一系列垂直木板条，和一个面玻璃皮在内侧，使它易于建造，同时非常视觉上有效地解决了曲率。

The main task during construction design was to define how to materialize the closed volumes. We needed to find a clean, economic and strong solution in order to keep the concept and shapes at a time. We solved it choosing for a succession of vertical wooden slats on the outer side, and a faceted glass skin in the inner side, making it easy to build and at the same time very visual-effective solving the curvatures

我们选择桉树木材，因为它是生态的，一个非常浅的颜色几乎白色和一个非常明确的粮食。当我们决定对它们进行着色时，这些有机感官特性是非常重要的。应用的颜色不会被扭曲，当油漆层足够轻时，纹理仍然可以看到，提供了一个很好的温暖的木质质感。这些方面将保持斯堪的纳维亚的设计感觉和不常见的温暖效果，打破了寒冷的玻璃和钢铁典型的办公空间。

We chose for eucalyptus wood as it is ecological, a very light colour almost whitish and with a very well defined grain. Those organoleptic charachteristics were very important when we decided to implement colour to them. The applied colour wouldn’t be distorsioned, and when the paint layer was light enough, the grain would be still visible offering a nice warm wooden texture. These aspects would keep the scandinavian design feeling and a not common warm effect breaking with the cold glass and steel typical office space.

通过着色板条，我们根据客户的具体情况调整了系统的通用性：我们使用了定义公司品牌形象的颜色。根据编程区域的不同，我们使用了它们：从光到暗的三个不同的红色在向西看的操作区域。一个生动的色彩选择与最有活力的工作流程和加强与橙色色调日落在中午。黑暗进入高层管理区域，向会议室区…的浅蓝色过渡。当望向港口的东方时，天空和海洋无所不在的忧郁渐渐消失了。

By colouring the slats we adapted the generality of a system to the particular case of this client: we used the colours which defined the company’s brand image. We applied them depending on the programatic area: three different reds from light to dark at the operative area looking west. A vivid colour selection connected to the most vibrant work-flow and reinforced with the orange tonalities of sunset at noon. Dark blues into the high management area in a transition to the light blues on the boardroom area … fading out with the omnipresent blues of the sky and sea when looking towards the east over the port.

通过这个项目，我们了解到曲线实际上是两点之间最短的路径。其中一点是客户需求的变化，同时解决了定义谁是…这一敏感问题。二是解决复杂空间情况下的几何问题。

With this project we learnt that actually the curve is the shortest route between two points. One point was the changing demands of a client while solving the sensitive issue of defining the idea of who they were … the other the solution to the geometrical problem of a complex spatial situation.

诺特姆管理的货船在地球各地航行，寻找两点之间最短的航线，以便尽可能快、高效地将货物运送到命运号的港口。这条路线不是一条斜线，而是一条叫做正交曲线的曲线。

Cargo ships managed by Noatum sail throughout the planet looking for the shortest route between two points, in order to deliver their goods as fast and efficient as possible to the destiny’s port. This route is not an straigth line but a curve called Orthodromy.
