建筑设计：Mass Studies建筑事务所

建造本项目是为公寓住宅“Xi”做宣传。在设置标准的公寓样板房之外，建筑中的很大一部分面积被用来作为该地区的多文化交流空间，形成一种全新的建筑类型：住宅文化中心。

我们的设计意在创造与不断变化“创新”的经济文化环境相适应的流动空间，并设置与之相匹配的交通体系。

建筑主体由两大部分——“立体山”（较低部分）和“立体云”（较高部分）组成。分为两部分的造型将连接部分最小化，在其中间形成一个具有多样化可能性的宽广、开敞、抽象的拓扑空间。

底层的架空层用于机动车和人行交通，最高层则用于公寓样板房的展示。建筑从结构上可以提供35m的柱间距，创造出高适用性的素色空间，以便在各种情况下使用。建筑的两部分之间的空间有两个不同高度，里面布置了多元的独立的公共文化展示空间，而所有的展示空间同时也作为一个整体，流动在同一个宽敞、动态、拓扑化的平面之上。□（司马蕾 译）

This building was constructed for the purpose of promoting “Xi,” a brand of apartments. In addition to the standard type of apartment unit exhibition space,an even larger share of the f loor area is allocated as variable cultural space for the locals, resulting in a brand-new building typology: a Housing Cultural Center.

The focus of our investigation was to create a f luid space that can respond to the "continuously new"situations arising from the dynamic f lux of economy and cul ture, and to create a movement system to correspond to such a space.

The building mass was organized into two major parts－the“Cubist Mountains”(the lower mass), and the “Cubist Cloud”(the upper mass). These two masses minimize their contact with each other, al lowing the space between them to be a large, open, abstract,topographical space with various programmatic possibilities.

The piloti f loor is used for vehicular/pedestrian access, while the the uppermost f loor is dedicated to apartment unit exhibitions whose truss structure permits a wide 35m column span, creating a universal,neutral space for varying situations. In the f loors between, a variety of public cul tural programs are dispersed within the double-height space as individual volumes, f lowing together on one large dynamic and topographical surface.□
