Nicol Building / Hariri Pontarini Architects

设计理念与空间营造：尼科尔大厦的设计理念独特，以吸引人的弯曲形式呈现，内部与外部的柔和弧线传达出拥抱感。从天窗中庭向外辐射的聚集中心空间清晰且富有展示性。一楼咖啡馆与特色楼梯连接上层，玻璃衬里的教室和休息区提供多元学习协作机会，为师生打造出富有活力与创意的空间环境。

外观材质与可持续性：其外部由垂直预制翅片包裹，减少太阳热量增加并突出形状，外露混凝土地板实用且与设计美学融合，搭配当地天然材料。在可持续设计方面表现卓越，采用创新的 BubbleDeck 技术减少混凝土用量，结构上层转换为钢结构减轻重量，合理布局机械系统节能 13%，尽显环保与经济考量。

功能布局与社交互动：大厦底层蜂巢空间通过灵活配置促进协作，邻近的创新中心等功能区旨在打破学科孤岛，加强行业伙伴关系。整体建筑的拥抱形式强化了各功能区间的联系，在校园中营造出强烈的存在感、亲密感与归属感，满足学校多元的社交与教学需求。

建筑师提供的文字描述Text description provided by the architects. The design competition for Carleton University’s Sprott School of Business called for a landmark building at a high-profile campus crossroads. The school sought to express its core values of creativity, connection, and innovation in built form and to create a place that welcomes and inspires students and staff. The design response is a beacon of visual interest that holds a tree-lined view that extends from the Rideau River to Carleton’s entry plaza and transit hub.

主要的设计理念是一个吸引人的弯曲形式，一个从外部和内部表达的柔和弧线，当一个人进入并感受到整个学校的能量围绕着你时，传达出一种拥抱。从天窗中庭向外辐射，聚集的中心空间清晰可见并得到展示。一楼设有一间咖啡馆，以蜿蜒的特色楼梯通往上层，在那里，玻璃衬里的教室和休息区提供了课堂之外的技术支持的学习和协作机会。
The principal design concept is an inviting curving form, a gentle arc expressed both externally and internally to convey an embrace as one enters and feels the energy of the entire school wrapped around you. Radiating from the skylit atrium, the central space of gathering is legible and on display. The ground floor houses a café and opens dramatically with a winding feature stair to upper levels where glass-lined classrooms and break-out spaces provide technology-enabled learning and collaboration opportunities beyond the classroom.

外部与大胆的垂直预制翅片相统一，这些翅片包裹着六层结构，以减少太阳热量的增加，并突出其弯曲的形状。外露的混凝土地板能够承受高流量的使用，是一种节约的举措，与设计美学相融合，与当地采购的石头和橡木等各种天然材料形成对比。在漫长的冬季气候中，该建筑营造了一个舒适、光线充足的空间，位于校园步行隧道系统的连接处上方。
The exterior is unified with bold, vertical precast fins that wrap the six-story structure to reduce solar heat gain and accentuate its curved form. Exposed concrete floors withstand high-traffic use and are an economizing move that blends with the design aesthetic to contrast a variety of natural materials such as locally sourced stone and oak. In a climate of long winters, the structure conveys a comfortable, light-filled space and sits above the nexus of the campus pedestrian tunnel system.

可持续设计融入了这座混合建筑的各个方面。裙楼采用现浇混凝土建造，以解决隧道系统以及地面和二楼之间所需的转换。通过在平板中使用BubbleDeck，解决了大型教室所需的长跨度问题。这种创新方法实现了长度超过12米（40英尺）的双向板。总共11300个气泡，每个是一个25厘米（10英寸）的再生塑料空心球，被放置在混凝土浇注的模板中。这取代了近223吨混凝土，相当于每公斤再生塑料100公斤混凝土。然后，该结构在上层从混凝土转换为结构钢，使其更轻。这使得办公室楼板的柱网明显变窄，释放了关键的程序空间。为了将基础固定在基岩上，所需的深度为将机械系统定位在地下室而不是顶层提供了机会。由于大部分人口和项目区域位于较低楼层，这减少了所需的管道系统，预计节能13%。
Sustainable design is embedded in every facet of this hybrid building. The podium is constructed with in-situ concrete to resolve the transfers required over the tunnel system and between the ground and the second floor. The long spans required in the large classrooms were resolved by using BubbleDeck in the slabs. This innovative method achieved a two-way slab that spans over 12 meters (40ft) in length. A total of 11,300 bubbles, each a 25cm (10-inch) hollow ball of recycled plastic, was laid in the form around which concrete was poured. This displaced nearly 223 tonnes of concrete or equivalent to 100 kg of concrete per every kilogram of recycled plastic. The structure then switches from concrete to structural steel in the upper floors to make it lighter still. This allows the column grid for the office floor plates to be significantly narrower, freeing up critical program space. In order to secure the foundation to bedrock, the depth required presented an opportunity to locate the mechanical systems in the basement rather than the penthouse. With the majority of the population and program area located on the lower floors, this reduced the ductwork required with a predicted energy savings of 13 percent.

尼科尔大厦渴望创造存在感、亲密感和归属感。底层蜂箱通过灵活的配置鼓励协作。邻近的创新中心——一个用于黑客马拉松和演讲节的创业孵化器，黑人创业知识中心和学生资源中心——旨在打破孤岛，促进跨学科互动，加强行业合作伙伴关系，所有这些都通过建筑的拥抱形式得到了加强。
The Nicol Building aspires to create both presence, intimacy, and a sense of belonging. The ground floor hive encourages collaboration through flexible configuration. The adjacent Innovation Hub - a startup incubator for hackathons and pitchfests, the Black Entrepreneurship Knowledge Hub, and Student Resource Centre are designed to break down silos, foster cross-disciplinary interaction, and strengthen industry partnerships, all of which are reinforced by the building’s embracing form.
