中國蘇州 金雞驛
Located on the shores of Jinji Lake, this station is a key node in Suzhou's lakeside promenade project. Designed by BIG and Arts Group, it seamlessly blends traditional Chinese courtyard architecture with contemporary public space, drawing inspiration from the cultural tradition of gathering beneath trees. Four interconnected structures create an open environment, offering residents and visitors a place to meet and rest, while complementing the soon-to-be-completed Suzhou Contemporary Art Museum.
坐落於湖畔的香樟樹下，量體屋頂如同樹冠的延伸，如樹葉垂落的流型輪廓於小徑交匯處提供遮蔽，並勾勒出壯麗湖景。自穿孔板投射出斑駁光影宛若葉影輕舞，兼具詩意美感與控溫性能。建築表面彷如像素的生動紋理，巧妙弱化建築邊界。設計師利用傳統茶館的建築技巧，以玻璃磚取代琉璃瓦屋頂，呈現輕盈透明的視覺效果，同時模糊室內外、花園與建築的界線。同樣採用玻璃打造的立面，讓訪客即使在室內亦可欣賞湖光景致；拋光鋼表面反射的光線與綠意，更將驛站與濱水公園彼此連結。
Nestled under camphor trees, the roof extends like a tree canopy, its flowing form providing shelter at the pathway intersections. Perforated panels cast dappled shadows reminiscent of rustling leaves, balancing poetic beauty with thermal performance. The façade features glass bricks in place of traditional glazed tiles, softening the boundaries between indoors and outdoors. Visitors can enjoy lake views through the transparent structure, while polished steel surfaces reflect greenery, harmonizing the station with the surrounding waterfront park.
屋簷輕揚處暗示著寬敞的雙層高入口，引導遊客進入以中央大樹為核心的靜謐中庭。訪客可從各處開口進入，享受咖啡廳、精品店、餐廳和遊客中心等多樣空間。雙層屋頂結構內外結合，旨在模擬樹冠效果，身處室內亦能感受自然與天空。當日光透過孔洞灑落，隨著光線變化展現獨特的光影韻律，場內因此充滿層次與豐富視覺。此項目以全新的建築語彙重新詮釋湖畔與城市的關係，融合傳統精神與現代設計，打造富有生命力的公共空間。
Gently lifting eaves guide visitors into a tranquil courtyard centered around a grand tree, where a café, boutique, restaurant, and visitor center offer a variety of experiences. The dual-layered roof mimics the effect of a tree canopy, allowing sunlight to filter through perforations, creating an ever-changing interplay of light and shadow. This project reinterprets the relationship between the lake and the city with a contemporary architectural language, fusing traditional spirit with modern design to create a vibrant public space.
