9. Sunnyside Up / 阳面向上
A roof garden in the garden city
Roofs are underused in New York City. Garden City Roofs, a startup company catering to a growing need for technical expertise and access to green roof systems, is converting the unused roof of a large industrial building into a showroom and knowledge-center for green roof systems. SO – IL has been asked to evaluate access, device an allotment system for the various roof systems and design a sales- and learning center. The factory building - once home to the production of typewriter ribbons and currently housing a gym and billiards hall - is located along the train tracks in Sunnyside Gardens, Queens under a la Guardia airstrip.
纽约市建筑的屋顶通常不被使用。一个名为“花园城市屋顶”的公司则希望把一座大型工业建筑的未使用屋顶改造成一个展览室和绿色屋顶系统的知识中心。这家公司希望SO-IL能帮助它们研究不同屋顶设备和进出口的分配并设计一个销售和学习中心。这座曾生产打印机色带的厂房现在拥有一个健身房和台球厅。建筑本身位于纽约皇后区西部Sunnyside地区的火车铁轨旁边。
This project attempts to create an atmosphere and identity through the deployment of the natural in a rigorous geometric form. The objective is to maximize exposure to commuters by train and plane, while providing equal allotments for the various roof systems. Considering the dome as the inevitable typology of optimism, we propose a low-res dome to house the sales office. Its skin doubles as a showcase of materials that are either completely biodegradable or recyclable. Climate control is done ‘au naturel’ - through rain water, sunshine and vegetation.
在这个项目中我们尝试着用一个棱角分明的几何形体来建造一种自然的氛围和特性。我们的目标是让设计后的屋顶在均等地为屋顶各系统提供空间的同时最大化地向在路过此处的飞机里和火车上的乘客开放。考虑到穹顶是最理想的屋顶形式，我们将其简化形成一个“低分辨率”像素化的不规则“穹顶。”屋子本身覆盖双层表面材料，外表面的环保材料作为可生物降解或回收处理的材料的展示。建筑的气候控制通过雨水、阳光、和植被在自然中调节。
