梅卡諾和佐佐木設計事務所美國分公司已經開始合作為波士頓的公立學校管理部門設計一座新的辦公大樓,并配有社區與商店。這一三角形地塊的再開發項目與周邊費迪南德大樓(建于1895年)、柯蒂斯大樓(建于1888年)和沃特曼大樓(建于1890年)等歷史悠久建筑的遙相呼應,是波士頓中心區附近羅克斯伯里改造工程中最重要的項目之一。費迪南德大廈位于達德利廣場,鄰近交通樞紐和商業中心,是從前羅克斯伯里充滿活力的心臟地帶的標志性建筑,周邊有很多商店和爵士樂咖啡館。梅卡諾和佐佐木中標設計的這一的改建工程將會引起周邊一系列令人振奮的變化,恢復遺忘已久的共同社區氛圍。將波士頓公立學校管理部門放在羅克斯伯里的心臟地帶,勢必會帶動周邊社區的再開發。
梅卡諾的設計利用達德利的現有建筑,將費迪南德、柯蒂斯和沃特曼等建筑的外墻及其古老的拐角,都納入新建的磚混結構設計考慮范圍。新建項目的設計在規模設計和素材表達方面都精心設計,注入富有表現力而又與周邊建筑和諧默契的現代美感。這些歷史性建筑依然展示著經久不衰的魅力和工藝水平,在新項目施工時都得到了修復。新項目采用了類似的建筑模式,但同時也采用了當代的建筑風格:這是一座具有荷蘭風情的波士頓建筑。立面使用暖色褐色磚,采用不同的砌筑技術,創造出富有節奏感的浮雕,給人一種精致而又有點俏皮的印象。
布魯斯C.市政大樓在底部的主通道和入口處的設計都采用具有歷史意義的軌道以紀念這一地區的歷史。而透明底座使這座建筑與周圍的街道生活和汽車站建立了直接聯系。中央建筑上方的樓頂閣樓是一座宣告達德利廣場“重生”的燈塔。建筑物一樓將作為公共區域,供社區聚會之用,同時為居民提供非正式的經濟與商業咨詢。三層辦公樓層上面的六樓設計獨特,有一個屋頂露臺,從上面可以俯瞰繁華的波士頓市區。
Mecanoo and US office Sasaki Associates have teamed up to create a new office building for the Boston Public Schools administration with community and retail space. Redevelopment of the triangular plot of ground, graced by the historic Ferdinand (1895), Curtis (1888) and Waterman(1890) Buildings, is one of the most prominent lots for the revitalization of Roxbury, located near downtown Boston. Located at Dudley Square, the neighborhood's transportation hub and commercial center, the Ferdinand Building is the symbol for what was once the vibrant heart of Roxbury, laden with shops and jazz cafes. Mecanoo and Sasaki were selected to implement a vision that would instigate an exciting period of change in the neighborhood, reinstating a lost common neighborhood feel. Bringing the Boston Public Schools department right into the heart of Roxbury anchors the redevelopment of the neighborhood.
Capitalizing on Dudley's existing building stock the facades of the Ferdinand, Curtis and Waterman buildings have been integrated into the design, their old corners carefully stitched into the new brick building. This new volume is discreet both in massing and material expression,injecting a powerful, tacit modern aesthetic. The historic buildings demonstrate a beautiful, timehonored level of craftsmanship and have been carefully restored. The new building embodies a similar approach to craft but in contemporary way: it is a Bostonian building with a Dutch touch. The facades are built in warm brown bricks in a variety of different masonry techniques, creating rhythmic reliefs which provide intricate, playful shadows.
The Bruce C. Bolling Municipal Building celebrates the history of the area by using the historic rail track as both the main circulation route on the lower levels and in marking the building's entrances. In addition, the transparent plinth relates directly to life on the surrounding streets and the bus station. Atop the central volume, the mechanical penthouse doubles as a light beacon announcing Dudley Square's ‘reborn' presence. The first floor of the facility will serve as a public zone providing both a community gathering space and opportunities for residents to seek informal economic and business advice. Above three floors of flexible workplaces sits the unique sixth floor with a roof terrace offering a striking view towards downtown Boston.
