都灵呼叫中心改造成的网络公司

Transformation of a Former Call-center into a Web-agency, Turin

一家大型网络市场公司即将进驻市中心以外的一座普通的4层建筑。为此，公司邀请了多家建筑事务所来竞标，设计一座能够突出其无形工作特性的建筑，同时避免恶俗的赛博朋克或高科技形式语言。MRAC在竞标中胜出，而方案是对建筑进行复原。设计要求中的无形特性是通过对有形部分做减法得以体现的——剥开厚厚的积层，显现出这座20世纪初建筑本来的高雅。不仅原建筑的砖墙被拆除，连混凝土梁、壁龛和天花也没有保留。这个复原工程可以说是一个彻底的减法。地面层的全部地板都被拆掉，代以极薄的穿孔金属板（仅5mm厚）。这就去掉了入口层和地下室之间的一切分隔，形成了宽敞明亮的咖啡厅。建筑其余部分的改造则十分节制，在保证流线和流量合理性的同时，又为日后的扩建保留了必要的灵活性。（尚晋 译）

A big web-marketing agency moves into a conventional four-storey building out of the city center. It promotes a contest among design offices, asking an architecture able to represent and strenghten the identity of its immaterial work, without relying on predictable cyberpunk orworse-high-tech languages. MARC wins of the contest with this answer: the needed architecture is restoration. The necessary immateriality is achieved literally, subtracting material from all the thick layers that had hidden what gradually reveals to be a decent building from the beginning of the twentieth century. So not only the brick walls of the original structure are unshrouded, but also concrete beams, niches, ceilings. The restoration is a radical one: subtractions go as far as demolishing the whole ground floor slab, which is substituted with an almost immaterial (it's only 5 mm thick) perforated metal sheet. In this way any separation is eliminated between the entrance level and the underground floor, which becomes a spacious and luminous cafeteria. In the rest of the building interventions are minimum, aimed to rationalize circulation and fluxes, and to provide the necessary flexibility for future expansions.
