Binary Harmonics 二元諧波
The Lake Merritt BART high-rise project in Oakland, California is an iconic technology landmark inspired by the innovative and futuristic shapes of the distinctive Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) cars.
位於加利福尼亞州奧克蘭的Lake Merritt BART高層項目是一個標誌性的技術地標，其靈感來自獨特的灣區快速交通（BART）汽車的創新和未來主義形狀。

As a transportation hub, this private development in the heart of Oakland’s downtown area will connect several neighbourhoods, including the historic Chinatown established in the 1800s. Its iconicity, however, is in its massing as it relates to the adjacent parcels and beyond. Two pairs of hexagonal drums louvered and laid out horizontally on the long edges set a confident presence on the land. Their plastic interpretation remains open. They could be read as BART cars stationing, as giant cranes resting on their base, or any other high tech association provoked in the viewer. Regardless, while they are imposing at the level of the territory they are friendly to pedestrians, porous to human activity. This is a scheme organized to promote vibrancy on the ground where the urban energy finds physical resolution in a place propelling exchange, spontaneous gathering, resting in the outdoors, people watching, and all those unscripted activities that make the cities what they are.
作為交通樞紐，這個位於奧克蘭市中心區域的私人開發項目將連接幾個街區，包括建於19世紀的歷史悠久的唐人街。 然而，它的象徵性在於其與相鄰地塊及其他地塊相關的體量。 兩對六角形的圓桶在長邊上水平放置並水平放置，為這片土地增添了自信。 他們的塑料解釋仍然開放。 它們可以被看作是BART汽車的駐地，巨大的起重機放在它們的基座上，或者在觀眾中引起的任何其他高科技協會。 無論如何，雖然他們在領土層面強加，但他們對行人友好，對人類活動不利。 這是一個旨在促進地面活力的計劃，在這裡，城市能源在一個推動交流，自發聚會，在戶外休息，觀看的人以及使城市成為現實的所有無記錄活動的地方找到物理解決方案。
The mixed-use, mixed-income, high-rise development is on two parcels adjacent to the Lake Merritt BART station. This sustainable project acts as a catalyst, creating an active neighbourhood hub and serving as part of activated spines along several downtown streets. The strong urban design of these commercial and residential high-rise buildings provides high-quality, active, and safe public and civic spaces with an activated ground floor.
Key to the design was working with the community to define affordable housing (35%) and maker spaces options for non-profit users in addition to commercial and retail space. Intrinsic to the design of the two buildings are deep overhangs and extensive horizontal sun shading to moderate the California sun. The 275-foot tall buildings each contain 13-floors with 600,000 square-foot of office space, 200,000 square-foot of housing, and 50,000 square-foot for retail.
混合用途，混合收入，高層建築位於Lake Merritt BART車站附近的兩個地塊上。 這個可持續發展的項目起著催化劑的作用，創造了一個活躍的社區中心，並作為沿著幾條市中心街道活躍刺的一部分。 這些商業和住宅高層建築的強大城市設計提供高品質，活躍，安全的公共和市政空間，並設有活動底層。
設計的關鍵是與社區合作，為商業和零售空間以外的非營利用戶定義經濟適用房（35％）和製造商空間選項。 這兩座建築的設計本質上是深懸和廣泛的水平遮陽，以緩和加州的陽光。 這座275英尺高的建築每層包含13層，辦公面積600,000平方英尺，房屋面積200,000平方英尺，零售面積50,000平方英尺。
Ever conscious of the importance of sustainability, the envelope shading strategy, conceived in a lyrical way, takes on a form evocative of this entrepreneurial spirit. The clear glass envelope with glass shading fins creates a crystalline form that evokes a sense of lightness and spirit. In an effort to let the energy model allow more exterior glass, deep horizontal sunshades are present throughout the buildings. Faux wood glass fin verticals and a deep roof overhang complete the shading strategy. The building will achieve a LEEDv3 for Core and Shell Platinum. Sustainable features include:
• A sophisticated façade, high performance spectrally selective glass, vertical fins of frit glass, and automated shades maximizes daylight while controlling glare and minimizing heat gain.
• Low installed power for overhead electrical lighting limiting allowable LPD to 0.6 W/sf, thus requiring high efficient fixtures and intelligent lighting design.
• Large automated electrochromic diffusing skylights that adjust to clear glass on cloudy days and darker glass on sunny days to maximize useful daylight while maintaining occupant visual comfort and delivering savings on electrical lighting and conditioning.
• Lightshelves and horizontal sunshades illuminate ceilings at the perimeter.
• Roof-top photo voltaics.
• High efficiency mechanical system.
• The use of recycled and sustainable materials.
從未意識到可持續性的重要性，以抒情的方式構思的信封陰影策略呈現出一種喚起這種企業家精神的形式。帶有玻璃遮陽鰭的透明玻璃外殼營造出一種晶瑩剔透的形狀，喚起輕盈感和精神感。為了讓能源模型允許更多的外部玻璃，整個建築物中都存在深水平遮陽篷。仿木玻璃鰭垂直和深屋頂懸垂完善了遮陽策略。該建築將獲得Core和Shell Platinum的LEEDv3。可持續功能包括：
•精緻的外觀，高性能的光譜選擇性玻璃，玻璃料的垂直翅片和自動遮陽板可最大限度地利用日光，同時控制眩光並最大限度地減少熱量增加。
•用於架空電氣照明的低安裝功率限制允許的LPD至0.6 W / sf，因此需要高效的固定裝置和智能照明設計。
•大型自動電致變色漫射天窗，可在陰天調整透明玻璃，在晴天調整深色玻璃，以最大限度地利用日光，同時保持乘員視覺舒適度並節省電氣照明和調節。
•燈架和水平遮陽板照亮了周邊的天花板。
•屋頂照片光伏。
•高效機械系統。
•使用可回收和可持續材料。
