位于谷歌新总部周围的公共空间中,Halo在形式上汲取了浪漫英式花园中常见的凉亭的灵感。坐落在新建筑周围的自然景观中的一座微妙的小山上,Halo可以从周围的交通要道看到。从这个视角,Halo在树线上方可见,它是一个全方位的凉亭,没有正面或背面。当游客走近Halo时,圆柱形状在底部被各种大小的拱门穿过。这些拱门在与简单的外部形式交叉时,产生对Halo内部和意外悬挑的一瞥。尽管外部覆盖有垂直铝管,内部则由一种被二色丙烯酸树脂包覆的结晶结构构成。简单外观和多面体内部之间的鲜明差异给人的印象是,游客已经进入了一个石英晶体的内部。
Located in the public space surrounding Google’s new headquarters in Mountain View, Halo takes its formal inspiration from the pavilions typically found in Romantic English Gardens. Situated on a subtle hill in the landscape surrounding the new building, Halo is visible from the surrounding traffic thoroughfares. From this vantage point Halo is visible just above the tree line and acts as a pavilion in the round that has no front or back. As visitors approach Halo, the cylindrical form is pierced at the base by arches of varying sizes. These archways produce glimpses into the interior of Halo and unexpected cantilevers as they intersect the simple exterior form. While the exterior is clad with vertical aluminum tubes, the interior is formed by a crystalline structure clad in dichroic acrylic. The stark difference between the simple exterior and faceted interior gives the impression that visitors have entered a geode.
白天,从圆柱体顶部进入的阳光反射在内部多彩的面上,映照在游客和周围的地面上,为它们涂上不断变化的颜色和光芒。内部的二色体面通过过滤光线,根据观察角度呈现出不同的光谱。当阳光照射在面板的前表面时,光谱在橙色、绿色和黄色范围内。晚上,铝管的上部LED透过管的内表面的孔隙发光,形成一个经过内部晶体结构过滤的光的动态星座。在夜晚,二色体面从背后点亮,改变了被过滤的光的色调范围,呈现出绿色、蓝色和紫色的色调。从远处看,LED的反射照在结构上,揭示出更为合理的逻辑和构造的X形支撑。生成的大气动画的反射光给人一种光如风般吹过Halo的感觉,结构在外部铝管后仿佛消失不见,时隐时现。
During the day sunlight entering from the open top of the cylinder reflects off the iridescent facets of the interior onto visitors and the surrounding ground, painting them with shifting color and light. The dichroic facets of the interior filters light into various spectrums determined by the angle of view. When sunlight hits the front face of the panels this spectrum is in the range of orange, green, and yellow hues. At night LEDs in the upper portions of the aluminum tubes shine through perforations on the inner surface of the tubes creating an animated constellation of light that is filtered through the inner crystalline structure. At night the dichroic facets are lit from behind shifting the tonal range of light that is filtered to green, blue, and purple hues. From a distance the LEDs reflect off the structure revealing a more rational logic and the X bracing of the construction. The reflected light of the generative atmospheric animations gives the sense that light is blowing through Halo like wind and the structure comes in and out of focus as if it is dematerializing behind the exterior aluminum tubes.
室内白天和晚上的大气变化旨在创造一个超凡脱俗的空间,让游客和谷歌员工能够逃避现实,激发新的思想,重新调整,或者只是享受阳光透过结构过滤的魔幻之美。
The atmospheric shifts between day and night on the interior is meant to be an otherworldly place that visitors and google employees can escape to and that might foster new ideas, a place to recalibrate, or simply enjoy the magic of the sunlight as it filters through the structure.
我们与ARUP纽约办事处密切合作,共同完成了工程和细节设计。结晶般的内部由略多于200个不锈钢模块构成,形成了整个结构。超过1400根哑光阳极氧化铝管被悬挂在不锈钢结构上,构成了外部的圆柱形状。这些管子经激光切割,用来框架各种拱门。管子的上部安放着300个LED灯具,通过管子内表面上随机分布的孔洞,仿佛从内部顶部淡化而出。这些LED灯具编程具有受云层运动启发的生成式大气动画。
We worked closely with ARUP’s New York office on the engineering and details. The crystalline interior is made up of a little over 200 stainless steel modules that create the structure. There are over 1400 lengths of matte anodized aluminum tube that are hung on the stainless steel structure to create the exterior cylindrical form. The tubes are laser cut to frame the various archways. The upper portion of the tubes house 300 LED fixtures that appear to fade front the top of the interior through the random dissipation of perforations on the interior surface of the tubes. These LEDs are programmed with a generative atmospheric animation inspired by the movement of clouds.
