Lindt 巧克力工厂总部

1845年，由瑞士巧克力公司 Lindt&Sprü ngli创立，总部设在瑞士人口最多的苏黎世湖畔。这家公司在制造高质量巧克力方面有着悠久和成功的历史， Lindt& Sprü ngli是高质量巧克力的缩影。它的产品销往全球120多个国家。Lindt& Sprü ngli的产品在全球120多个国家都有销售，其中有28家子公司，500多家自营商店。Lindt& Sprü ngli总部设有工厂，仓库，办公大楼，还有一个新的入口—— Lindt巧克力之家，它是由 Lindt巧克力研发基金会出资经营的。新的旗舰建筑是一种引人注目的现代平衡，与不拘束的建筑风格相结合。

The headquarters of Lindt & Sprüngli, the Swiss chocolatier, founded in 1845, are located near Lake Zurich on the outskirts of Switzerland‘s most populous city. The firm‘s long and successful history of producing quality chocolate manifests creations from Lindt & Sprüngli as the epitome of quality chocolate. Its products are available in more than 120 countries worldwide. They are sold by 28 subsidiaries in more than 500 of its own stores. Lindt & Sprüngli‘s HQ features a factory, warehouses, an office building, and the new gateway to the campus, the Lindt Home of Chocolate, which is financed and operated by the Lindt Chocolate Competence Foundation. This new flagship building is a striking, contemporary counterweight to the eclectic assemblage of buildings.

巧克力之家由 Christ& Gantenbein设计，与 Lindt& Sprü ngli工厂所在的逻辑、历史和城市结构相平行。典型的工业盒子，可以和周围的工厂建筑对话。外墙主要由红砖构成，基于一个抽象的重新解释，将现成的工业产品手工嫁接到具体的建筑元素上，与其邻近的建筑元素相对应。切断了东南角，中断了原本简单的体量。这座用白色釉面砖头装饰的金黄色的建筑，在 Lindt巧克力馆的入口打开了一个广场。

Designed by Christ & Gantenbein, the Home of Chocolate parallels Lindt & Sprüngli‘s factory site‘s logic, history, and urban structure: A classically composed, industrial box, in dialogue with the surrounding factory buildings. The facade, consisting primarily of red brick, references its neighbors in an abstract reinterpretation based on a readymade industrial product that is manually grafted into a specific construction element. The south-eastern corner is cut out and interrupts the otherwise simple volume. Clad with white, glazed brick adorned with golden letters, this quadrant opens a public square right at the Lindt Home of Chocolate‘s entrance.

这个多功能的体验空间将会成为瑞士最受欢迎的建筑之一，它结合了多功能的用户中心项目，是一种独特的新市民建筑。使瑞士巧克力工业的声望再上一个台阶，其建筑设计就是为了吸引众多具有魅力的游客。其中包括一个巧克力互动、浸入式展览，一个用于研究和开发未来巧克力配方的设施，一个生产工厂，一个巧克力商店，一个咖啡馆和办公室——所有这些都由螺旋形楼梯和横跨巨型中庭的层叠走廊连接。中心是一座高9米的金巧克力喷泉，由 Atelier Brü ckner设计，同时也是展览作者之一。

Set to become one of Switzerland‘s most visited buildings, this multifunctional experiential space combines a user-focused, mixed-use program in an exceptional new type of civic architecture. Elevating the visibility of the Swiss Chocolate industry to new heights, it is built to seduce visitors with the many charms of chocolate. It features an interactive, immersive exhibition about chocolate, a research and development facility for future chocolate recipes, a production plant, a chocolate shop, a cafe, and offices – all connected by spiraling staircases and cascading walkways crisscrossing a vast atrium. In its center, a dramatic, nine-meter high, golden chocolate fountain was developed by Atelier Brückner, also authors of the exhibition.

一个长64米、高15米、宽13米的巨大中庭，既展现了戏剧性的空旷，也展现了建筑秩序的基本存在。一系列的圆形承重柱和墙体创造了一个坚固的结构，所有的活动都围绕着这个结构进行。"柱子"揭示了一个充满运动的建筑；楼梯、电梯、走道和桥梁产生了空间和体验性的连接和交流，这正是Lindt巧克力之家的核心，与它近乎平静的外表形成了鲜明的对比。

A vast atrium, 64 meters long, 15 meters high, and 13m wide, reveals both a dramatic void and the architectural order‘s elementary presence. A series of round load-bearing pillars and walls create a robust structure around which all activities are organized.The columns reveal a building full of movement; stairs, elevators, walkways, and bridges produce spatial and experiential connectivity and communication, which is at the core of the Lindt Home of Chocolate, radically contrasting its almost calm exterior.

乍看之下，看似简单的建筑实际上是一个智能设计的多面复杂的建筑；一个坚固的建筑形式，经久耐用，但同时，通过灵活性来抵御波动；弹性和坚固性合作，实现多种潜在的变化应用。Lindt巧克力之家的结构系统本身就是一个混合体，美学、功能和结构在一个无柱体和承重外壳中结合起来。

At first glance, what appears simple is actually an intelligently engineered building of multifaceted complexity; a solid architectural form built to last, yet at the same time, built to withstand fluctuations through flexibility; where resilience and robustness collaborate towards a multiplicity of potentially shifting applications. The Lindt Home of Chocolate‘s structural system is itself a hybrid, where aesthetic, functionality, and construction come together in a column-free volume with a load-bearing outer shell.

Lindt巧克力之家是Christ & Gantenbein除了瑞士国家博物馆及其扩建项目之外，在苏黎世完成的第二个文化项目，是一个技术含量很高的复杂混合体。它与瑞士联邦理工学院合作，将工业生产、展厅、博物馆、购物和尖端研发等功能结合在一起，最终是一个沉思、娱乐、研究和互动的空间，是一个全新的空间体验。

The Lindt Home of Chocolate, Christ & Gantenbein‘s second completed cultural project in Zurich, besides the Swiss National Museum and its extension, is a highly technical and complex hybrid. Combining industrial production, showroom, museum, shopping, and cutting-edge research & development, among others in collaboration with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, it‘s ultimately a space where contemplation, entertainment, research, and interaction come together in a new spatial experience.
