架构师提供的文本描述。这座建筑位于Vulkan-一个古老的工业区，毗邻奥斯陆风景如画的Aker‘s河和受欢迎的公共空间Kuba。

Text description provided by the architects. The building is situated at Vulkan - an old industrial area next to Oslo's picturesque Aker's river and popular public space Kuba.

作为一个“方形钉在一个方形的洞”，脚印的建筑体积是小于其地下室的周长。在一楼的空间周围的玻璃缝隙创造了一个动态的地下空间。当光在白天被吸收到这个空间时，它也在夜间释放，从而创造出一个在它自己的空间中真正“振动”的物体。

Conceived as a “square peg in a square hole”, the footprint of the building volume is smaller than the perimeter of its basement. The glazed gap surrounding the volume at ground floor level creates a dynamic subterranean space. While light is absorbed into this space at daytime it releases likewise at night; thus creating an object which is literally “vibrating” in its own space.

开放性、可及性和能见度是西方人的重要价值观。宽敞的入口和一楼的开放式计划邀请公众进入。一楼有招待会、一家小型媒体、一家学生咖啡馆-向公众开放，在阿克尔河边设有室外座位-以及一个适合展览、聚会或非正式工作站的多用途区域。

Openness, accessibility and visibility are important values for Westerdals. Generous entrances and an open plan on the ground floor invite the public in. Ground floor houses the reception, a small mediatheque, a student café - open to the public with outdoor seating by the Aker’s river - and a multipurpose area fit for exhibitions, parties or informal workstations.
