Israel studio Schwartz Besnosoff Architects has completed the Technion Entrance Gate for the Technion Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, which also acts as a bridge that connects the campus with a city promenade.
Instead of designing the entrance gate as solely a barrier between two points, Schwartz Besnosoff Architects created a new public platform.
以色列工作室Schwartz Besnosoff Architects已完成位於海法的以色列以色列理工學院的技術入口大門，該門還充當了連接校園和城市長廊的橋樑。
Schwartz Besnosoff Architects並沒有將入口大門設計為僅是兩點之間的障礙，而是創建了一個新的公共平台。
“The traditional campus gate has a significant role in the disconnection that criticises the university campus and the urban context that surrounds it,” Schwartz Besnosoff Architects architects Gaby Schwartz and Omri Schwartz told Dezeen.
“After analysing the exiting potentials on site, we decided to offer a new interpretation to the idea of a ‘gate’ – not a barrier or a separator but as a bridge, a new public platform, that connects the city and the campus through a green promenade.”
Schwartz Besnosoff建築事務所的建築師Gaby Schwartz和Omri Schwartz告訴Dezeen：“傳統的校園大門在批評大學校園及其周圍的城市環境中起著重要作用。”
“在分析了現場存在的潛力之後，我們決定對’大門’的概念進行新的解釋-不是障礙或分隔符，而是作為橋樑，新的公共平台，通過城市和校園將城市和校園連接在一起。 綠色長廊。”
The studio was chosen for the project after winning an open competition held by Technion and the Israeli architecture association, and worked with Studio Rolka on the concept.
It identified a number of potential starting points when planning the project, including an existing campus promenade next to the entrance and an urban promenade that ended just outside.
The entrance gate now ties these two together in the form of a pedestrian and bicycle bridge, which is elevated above an existing road and was designed using parametric software.
在贏得Technion和以色列建築協會舉行的公開比賽后，該工作室被選為該項目，並與Studio Rolka合作進行了構思。
在規劃項目時，它確定了許多潛在的起點，包括入口旁邊的現有校園長廊和結束於外面的城市長廊。
現在，入口大門以行人和自行車橋的形式將這兩者聯繫在一起，該橋高出現有道路並使用參數化軟件進行設計。
Where the bridge widens, after the security checkpoint, the studio designed a new informal square where students can meet their friends.
“Sport and leisure are just some of the day to day activities that take place at the new gate both by campus students and nearby residents,” said the studio.
“The bridge acts as a dynamic platform that enables the campus to host various types of events and to explore the potential of the new connection between the city and the campus.”
在安全檢查站之後的橋樑加寬的地方，工作室設計了一個新的非正式廣場，學生可以在那裡結識他們的朋友。
該工作室說：“體育和休閒只是校園學生和附近居民在新門口進行的日常活動中的一部分。”
“這座橋是一個動態平台，使校園能夠舉辦各種類型的活動，並探索城市與校園之間新連接的潛力。”
Technion Entrance Gate was built from metal with added bamboo decking and glass panels, materials that were chosen partly for their sustainable qualities.
“The bridge structure is made from exposed metal using the basic structure as the finish exterior for the gate,” the studio explained.
“In this way we reduced the use of cover materials to the minimum. The decking of the bridge is custom made from bamboo decking which is one of the fastest growing, renewable resources in the world,” it added.
Technion入口大門由金屬製成，增加了竹地板和玻璃板，這些材料部分是出於可持續性的考慮而選擇的。
該工作室解釋說：“橋樑結構由裸露的金屬製成，使用基本結構作為門的飾面外部。”
它補充說：“通過這種方式，我們將覆蓋材料的使用減少到最低限度。橋樑的甲板是由竹地板定製而成的，竹地板是世界上增長最快的可再生資源之一。”
Even though the Technion Entrance Gate isn’t a traditional gate, it still has to fulfil the functions of a gate.
A glass pavilion, which was placed to the side of the bridge and extends over it, contains an elevator and two checkpoints. Pedestrians and cyclists can also use automated speed gates that open with a magnetic card.
“The gate is equipped with the most advanced technological systems that enables the security team to seat in the centre of the campus with minimum guards standing outside but still to have a full control on the entrance gate,” said Gaby Schwartz and Omri Schwartz.
即使Technion入口大門不是傳統的大門，它仍必須履行大門的功能。
玻璃亭子放置在橋的側面並在橋的側面延伸，上面有一個電梯和兩個檢查站。 行人和騎自行車的人也可以使用通過磁卡打開的自動速度門。
Gaby Schwartz和Omri Schwartz說：“大門配備了最先進的技術系統，使安全團隊能夠坐在校園中央，幾乎沒有警衛站在外面，但仍然可以完全控制入口。”
The Technion Entrance Gate has been shortlisted in the infrastructure project category for Dezeen Awards 2020, where it will compete against projects including the Bunhill 2 Energy centre in London, which uses excess heat from the London underground to heat buildings, and the Lille Langebro bicycle bridge in Copenhagen.
