FROM:AD Interviews: David Gianotten/ OMA
During the Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture, we had the opportunity to speak with David Gianotten, partner-in-charge of OMA’s Hong Kong office. Gianotten launched the Dutch firm’s Asian headquarters in 2009, where he supervises major projects such as the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and the Taipei Performing Arts Centre.
Standing outside of the recently completed Stock Exchange headquarters, he answered our questions about urbanization, innovation and the intricacies of running an office in an environment with such rapid urban growth. Shenzhen has proven an experiment of economic openness and is a vivid example of China’s recent growth. The city’s skyline is practically a physical graph of an upward-trending economy, with buildings designed by nearly every internationally renowned architecture firm. But OMA’s Shenzhen Stock Exchange building stands apart from the rest not only because of its impeccable construction (a rarity in the fast-paced building booms of Chinese cities), but also because it houses the institution that lists China’s biggest companies.
The 254 meter tower is an elegant structure that combines pure volumes with an exoskeleton grid clad in translucent glass. It represents a characteristic OMA-approach to innovative architectural solutions, made possible by extensive programmatic and technical research.
Read the full interview (which includes Gianotten’s insights on the study of architecture, the role of architects, and the importance of simplicity when communicating complex innovation) after the break.
在深圳雙城城市/建築雙年展期間，我們有機會與OMA香港辦事處的合夥人David Gianotten交談。 Gianotten於2009年成立了荷蘭公司的亞洲總部，負責監督深圳證券交易所和台北表演藝術中心等重大項目。
他站在最近完成的證券交易所總部之外，回答了我們關於城市化，創新以及在城市快速發展的環境中辦公室的錯綜複雜的問題。深圳已經證明了經濟開放的實驗，是中國近期增長的一個生動例子。城市的天際線實際上是一個向上趨勢經濟的物理圖形，幾乎所有國際知名建築公司都設計了建築物。但是，OMA的深圳證券交易所大樓遠遠不是因為其無可挑剔的建築（中國城市快節奏的建築繁榮中的罕見），而且因為它所在的機構是中國最大的公司。
這座254米高的塔樓是一個優雅的結構，結合了純淨的體積和覆蓋在半透明玻璃中的外骨骼網格。它代表了創新建築解決方案的特徵OMA方法，通過廣泛的程序和技術研究實現。
