A diagonal atrium enclosed by faceted glass protrudes from the exterior of the Axel Springer building, which OMA has completed in Berlin, Germany.
The office block is the latest addition to the German media and technology company Axel Springer’s campus on Zimmerstraße and provides 52,000 square meters of workspace for 3,000 employees.
OMA’s design is intended to be open and transparent to “lavishly broadcast the work of individuals” – reflecting the work of the company and challenging traditional offices that conceal internal operations.
OMA已在德國柏林完成的Axel Springer大樓的外部凸出了一個由多面玻璃包圍的斜中庭。
辦公大樓是德國媒體和技術公司Axel Springer位於Zimmerstraße的園區的最新成員，可為3,000名員工提供52,000平方米的工作空間。
OMA的設計旨在公開透明，以“大量廣播個人的工作”，這反映了公司的工作並挑戰了隱藏內部運營的傳統辦公室。
“In the typical office building, a visitor enters and then disappears,” said Rem Koolhaas, founder of OMA. “It is far from clear what happens inside.”
“In the new Axel Springer building, people and their interaction are the essence,” he continued.
“The Springer building is a tool for the further development of a company in perpetual motion. It offers its users a physical base – a wide variety of spatial conditions, intimate to monumental – in contrast to the flatness of working in virtual space.”
OMA創始人雷姆·庫哈斯（Rem Koolhaas）表示：“在典型的辦公大樓中，訪客進入然後失踪。” “目前還不清楚內部發生了什麼。”
他繼續說：“在新的Axel Springer大樓中，人與人之間的互動至關重要。”
“ Springer大樓是永續運動公司進一步發展的工具。與在虛擬空間中工作的平坦性相比，它為用戶提供了堅實的基礎-各種各樣的空間條件，與紀念性建築緊密相關。”
OMA won a competition to design the building in 2014 to symbolise and facilitate Axel Springer’s transition from print to digital media. It was selected ahead of proposals by BIG and Buro Ole Scheeren.
“Its new building on the campus in Berlin acts both as a symbol and a tool in this transition – a building to lure the elite of Germany’s digital bohemia,” OMA explained.
OMA在2014年贏得了設計競賽，以像徵和促進Axel Springer從印刷媒體到數字媒體的轉變。 它是在BIG和Buro Ole Scheeren的提議之前選定的。
OMA解釋說：“它在柏林校園內的新建築既是這一過渡的象徵，也是它的工具-吸引德國數字波西米亞精英的建築。”
Inside, the Axel Springer building is planned around a “valley” of 10 cascading floors, which gives rise to the 45-metre-high atrium echoed in the faceted exterior.
Each of these staggered floors is lined with a terrace, which each open out to the soaring atrium to allow employees to interact and share ideas with each other across the space.
在內部，Axel Springer大樓計劃圍繞10個級聯的“谷”，從而形成多面外牆呼應的45米高的中庭。
這些交錯的地板中的每一個都襯有一個露台，每個露台都通向高聳的中庭，以允許員工在整個空間中相互交流和共享想法。
The terraces form a contrasting work environment to the more formal office spaces that occupy the rest of the building, positioned to the rear of each floor.
These workspaces are enclosed and marked externally by the “solid part” of the building, which is clad in the linear, tinted glass.
露台與占據整個建築其餘部分的更正式的辦公空間形成了鮮明的對比，辦公空間位於每層樓的後部。
這些工作空間由建築物的“實心部分”封閉並在外部進行標記，該“實心部分”包覆在線性有色玻璃中。
The Axel Springer building’s two work zones are all connected by 13 bridges, which offer employees a chance for physical encounters and communication.
This includes a “meeting bridge”, or viewing platform, which cuts through the atrium to provide panoramic views of the office.
The building is complete with a publicly-accessible ground floor, which contains studios, event and exhibition spaces, canteens and restaurants, two basement levels and a roof-top bar.
“The common space formed by the interconnected terraces offers an alternative to the formal office space in the solid part of the building, allowing for an unprecedented expansion of the vocabulary of workspaces: a building that can absorb all the question marks of the digital future,” concluded OMA.
Axel Springer大樓的兩個工作區均由13個橋樑相連，這為員工提供了進行身體接觸和交流的機會。
這包括一個“會議橋”或觀景台，該平台穿過中庭以提供辦公室的全景。
該建築的底樓可公開訪問，其中包括工作室，活動和展覽空間，食堂和餐廳，兩個地下層和一個屋頂酒吧。
“相互連接的露台形成的公共空間為建築物的實體部分提供了正式辦公空間的替代方案，從而實現了工作空間詞彙的空前擴展：一座可以吸收數字未來所有問號的建築物， ” OMA總結道。
OMA, otherwise known as the Office for Metropolitan Architecture, is a Dutch studio founded by Koolhaas with Elia Zenghelis, Madelon Vriesendorp and Zoe Zenghelis. It has offices in Rotterdam, Hong Kong, Beijing, New York, Dubai, Doha and Sydney.
The studio also recently completed an office for Tencent in Beijing, China, which takes the form of a giant glass building punctured by geometric insets.
Elsewhere it is developing the Morden Wharf neighbourhood for London’s riverside, the Feyenoord Stadium in the Netherlands and a garden bridge for Washington DC.
