法國巴黎 勒蒙德集團總部

The 23,000 m2 Le Monde Group Headquarters is built at the intersection of the old, historic parts of the French capital, and the more modern districts on the Rive Gauche. A previously industrialized area with railway tracks, the district has experienced a mass development since the beginning of the 1990’s under one of the most comprehensive urban developments of the French capital since 18th century Haussmannization. Today, the district has continued to develop as a high-density commercial and business district.

The building’s pixelated outer skin is composed of more than 20,000 pixelated glass elements in a strictly organized pattern with 772 possible configurations, that give the building a sheer appearance that shifts with the changing weather and light conditions.

The journey through the Le Monde Group Headquarters commences at ground level where visitors are greeted by a broad public plaza with integrated vegetation. The plaza invites passersby to linger and interact while also creating connections to the cityscape on each side of the building.

New retail spaces also help activate a dynamic public realm. Situated below the warmly lit arch of the building, custom designed concrete benches offer refuge from the activity of the busy surrounding area.

勒蒙德集團總部 (Le Monde Group Headquarters) 佔地 23,000 平方公尺，建在法國 (French) 首都歷史悠久的舊城區與左岸 (Rive Gauche) 較現代地區的交匯處。該地以前是擁有鐵路軌道的工業化地區，自 1990 年代初以來就經歷了大規模發展，這是 18 世紀奧斯曼化以來法國首都最全面的城市發展之一。如今，該地區持續發展成為高密度的貿易商業區。

建築物的像素化外皮由 20,000 多個像素化玻璃元素組成，以嚴格的組織方式排列並具有 772 種可能的組態，使建築物的外觀隨天氣和光照條件的而變化。

參觀動線從勒蒙德集團總部的地面層開始，在這裡，參觀者會看到一個帶有植被的廣闊公共廣場。該廣場讓路人在此盤桓互動，同時建立與建築物各側的城市景觀的聯繫。

新的零售空間還有助於活絡公共領域。定制設計的混凝土長凳設置於建築物溫暖照明的拱門下方，為忙碌的周邊地區的活動提供了休憩的場所。

The Le Monde Group Headquarters can be accessed from the two extremities of the building, one of them public, leading to food and retail services and providing access to a two-story auditorium. The other entry leads to a reception area for parts of the building which are only accessible to the Le Monde Group. The reception area reveals itself as a white canvas framed by a grey-scaled concrete terrazzo flooring that evokes the plaza outside.

Two large amphitheater stairs in each entry lead up to the third level of the building, providing an unformal meeting space for staff and visitors. The stairs mark a physical continuity with the building’s arching middle-section, as if the stairs were mounted on top of it. The stairs provide access to the auditorium through an open reception area, well-suited for either conferences or receptions. The floor also comprises a staff cafeteria and restaurant including back office functions and meeting rooms.

Finally, the top level of the building leads out to an open-air terrace which is accessible from both sides of the building. Framed by vegetation, the terrace creates beautiful views overlooking the surrounding cityscape and the Seine.

勒蒙德集團總部可以從建築物的兩個末端進入，其中一個是公共場所，可通往食品和零售服務區，也連接進入兩層樓禮堂的通道。另一個入口通向大樓一部分的接待區，只有勒蒙德集團才能使用。接待區以白色帆布呈現，由灰色水泥水磨石地板構成，讓人聯想到外面的廣場。

每個入口都有兩個大型圓形劇場樓梯通向建築物的第三層，為員工和訪客提供了一個非正式的會議空間。樓梯與建築物的拱形中間部分形成了物理上的連續性，就像樓梯安裝在建築物的頂部一樣。樓梯可通過開放的接待區通往禮堂，非常適合舉行會議或招待會。該樓層還包括一個員工自助餐廳、餐廳、後台功能和會議室。

最後，建築物的頂層通向露天露臺，可從建築物的兩側進入。露臺被植被所環繞，可欣賞到周圍城市景觀和塞納河 (Seine) 的美景。
