GWELL塔樓：侵蝕的矩陣，首爾，韓國

建筑設計：Mass Studies建筑事務所

這座建筑高15層，建筑面積10 200m2。作為都市環境中塔樓的典型，本建筑面向寬廣的主要街道，沿街建有一排塔樓，建筑一側為主要供步行者利用的街道，另一側為低密度的低層住宅，形成亞洲大都市中常見的具有對比性的城市環境。塔樓南側面向低矮、小規模形式的都市紋理，建筑的南立面則仿照這種空間感，使原本橫向的都市肌理在此豎向展開形成了塔樓的感覺。同時，每個辦公單元都配有室外空間，用簡單的玻璃幕墻創造出獨特的“侵蝕狀”外觀。在32個室外花園中栽種有不同種類的樹木，賦予各個花園獨特的個性特征。各個獨立的花園也一同構成一個豎向高達65m的整體化的花園形象。面向主要道路的建筑北立面主要由豎向的粗線條組成，標示出建筑中的觀光電梯、樓梯、機械豎井和弱電系統等豎向動線，象征著大都市的尺度和速度，與南立面形成鮮明對比。□（司馬蕾 譯）

This 15-story of fice tower with 10 200m2of f loor area functions as a tower prototype in an urban environment where a row of towers faces a wide main street and pedestrian traf fic on one side and low-density, low-rise residential urban fabric on the other side, a contrasting urban condition that is quite common in Asian metropolises. On the southern side where the tower conf ronts low-rise, smal l-scale urban fabric, it mimics this spatial quality on its facade as if this horizontal urban fabric had been turned vertical and become tower. As a resul t, each of fice unit has an outdoor space, creating a unique“eroded”appearance in an otherwise very simple glass curtain wal l tower. A variety of trees wil l be planted in the 32 outdoor gardens, giving each its own characteristic. Together, the individual gardens will create the ef fect of a larger vertical garden 65 meters tal l climbing the building. The northern side of the building facing the main road is mainly composed of bold vertical stripes revealing vertical movements within the building, such as viewing elevators, the stairs, mechanicals shafts and electronic signage to ref lect contrasting urban scale and speed.□
