Architects Claerhout-Van Biervliet together with Adriaan Claerhout win the prestigious Architizer A+Award 2024 in the category Private House-Unbuilt and also a Architizer A+ special mention for sustainability with their project Periscope House.

Earlier they were awarded with the BLT award and received an honorable mention by Architecture Masterprize with this innovative project.

当今的建筑领域普遍存在诸如空间有限和可持续性紧迫性等挑战。Claerhout – Van Biervliet Architects 的 Periscope 项目提供了一种创新的解决方案，包括改变我们对现实的看法。

Challenges such as limited space and the urgency for sustainability are prevalent in today's construction landscape. The Periscope project by Claerhout – Van Biervliet Architects offers an innovative solution, including a transformation of our perception of reality.

Periscope住宅是一座完全建在地势之下的住宅。建筑中心有一个大型中央庭院，室外空间轮廓也位于地下。

The Periscope House is a residence, built completely below terrain level. It has a large central patio in the heart of the building, and a contour of outdoor space, both below ground.

地下建筑的概念具有多种优势，包括出色的隔热性能，既能抵御炎热，又能抵御寒冷。它对景观的视觉影响也较小。地下空间也具有挑战性，因为它们通常为居住或工作提供沉闷、黑暗和令人不愉快的氛围。它们也缺乏周围景观的视野。

The idea of a subterranean building offers multiple advantages, including excellent thermal insulation against both heat and cold. It also has less visual impact on the landscape. Underground spaces are also challenging, since they often provide a dreary, dark, and unpleasant atmosphere to live or work in. They also lack views of the surrounding landscape.

Periscope住宅提供了一种解决方案，为这些地下空间带来必要的光线和视野。尽管建筑本身是一个固定的地下结构，但它有一个可移动的双镜结构轮廓，起到潜望镜的作用。按照潜望镜的原理，这些双镜以 45 度角设置。镜子安装在可以独立升起的结构上，以优化地下层的光线和视野。该建筑有 2 个地下层，根据某一时刻空间的使用情况，镜子可以放置在需要光线和视野的层上。晚上，当不再需要光线和视野时，镜子结构就会下降，再次消失在景观中。

这样，自然光和风景就可以深入结构，使这种潜望镜结构成为真正的“空间增强器”。

The Periscope House offers a solution to bring the necessary light and view to these underground spaces. Though the building itself is a fixed subterranean structure, it has a contour of movable double mirror structures, functioning as a Periscope. Following the principle of a periscope, these double mirrors are set at a 45-degree angle. The mirrors are mounted on structures that can be independently raised  in order to optimize light and view for the underground levels. The building has 2 subterranean levels and, according to the use of the space at a certain moment, the mirrors can be put at the level where light and view is requested. At night, when light and view on the scenery is no longer required, the mirror structures descend to disappear in the landscape again.

This way, natural light and scenic views can penetrate deep into the structure, making this periscope structure an actual "space enhancer."

建筑周围镜面部分的可移动性还具有另一个可持续发展的目的。上部镜面结构可用作悬挂植物和灌木的植物容器，为建筑深处带来郁郁葱葱的绿色。白天，镜子使用太阳能发动机升起。太阳落山后，镜子下降，慢慢地再次包围建筑。由于沉重的花盆被抬起，以便将镜子抬高到景观之上，下降质量的潜在重力能可以转化为机械能，随后驱动发电机产生电能。

The mobility of the mirrored parts surrounding the building serves another sustainability purpose. The upper mirror construction serves as a plant container for hanging plants and shrubs, offering lush green deep into the building. During the day, the mirrors are elevated using solar-powered engines. As the sun sets, the mirrors descend, slowly enclosing the building again. Thanks to the heavy planters, lifted in order to raise the mirrors above the landscape, the potential gravitational energy of this descending mass can be converted into mechanical energy, which subsequently drives a generator to produce electrical energy.

将建筑物的这一重要部分用作重力电池为储存可再生能源提供了一种环保的解决方案，特别是因为提升这些部件的能量是由安装在集装箱上层的太阳能电池板提供的。

尽管这看起来是一种相当高科技的解决方案，但其中涉及的技术却很常见，而且在建筑环境中也有其他用途。因此，在下一个层面上实施这些技术是可行的。

Using this essential part of the building as a gravity battery provides an environmentally friendly solution for storing renewable energy, especially since the energy for lifting these parts is provided by solar panels mounted on the upper levels of the containers.

Even though it might appear as a rather high-tech solution, the technologies involved are common and are used for other purposes in the built environment. Implementing them on this next level, therefore, is feasible.

这座Periscope住宅专注于住宅应用，但它也可用于其他环境或功能，如办公室、文化空间和博物馆，地下空间的这种新潜力可以提供意想不到的机会。

This Periscope House is focused on a residential application, but it is also useable in other contexts or functions, such as offices, cultural spaces, and museums, where this new potential of underground spaces can offer unexpected opportunities.

Periscope 的最终目标是打造一座创新建筑，为更加可持续的世界做出贡献。建筑布局灵感源自罗马和帕拉第奥式别墅的空间传统。

The ultimate aim of the Periscope is to craft an innovative building that contributes to a more sustainable world. The architectural layout draws inspiration from the spatial traditions of Roman and Palladian villas.

Periscope 不仅仅反映了现实，它还通过完全取代现实彻底改变了我们的感知方式。

The Periscope system offers more than a reflection of reality - it revolutionizes our perception by entirely displacing it.

▽下部潜望镜镜子向下，上部镜子也向下，使建筑物消失在景观中

▽下部潜望镜镜子向下，上部镜子上升的部分，使光线和视野出现在地下客厅

▽下部潜望镜镜子向下，上部镜子完全向上的部分，这样光线和视野就出现在地下客厅中

▽下部潜望镜向上，上部镜子完全向上的部分，这样光线和视野就会出现在负 1 层

▽全部分，下潜望镜朝上，上镜也完全朝上，以便有光线并且能看到负 1 层处的风景。

▽全剖面，下潜望镜向上，上潜望镜向下，使建筑物消失在景观中
