加拿大溫哥華 艾伯尼塔
本案坐落於溫哥華煤港區，向北延伸至史丹利公園，為一座擁有新型塔樓外觀的高層公寓建築。由隈研吾建築團隊操刀設計，旨於創造全新的摩天大樓印象――非水泥叢林中另一座孤立的冷漠高塔，而是透過建築達到與環境的緊密關係。除了保留底層植被貫穿建築量體，更打造覆蓋著青苔的露天劇場，邀請人們在以日本細緻木工藝 Kigumi 所打造交織的層次木製結構下，欣賞音樂和戲劇等表演，提供一個融合自然、文化與設計美學的活動場所。
This is a high-rise condominium, located where Vancouver's Coal Harbour District tapers north toward Stanley Park. We wanted to create a new kind of skyscraper not as an isolated object, but instead defined by strong relationships to its setting. We also wanted nature to be present throughout the ground floor. Here, an open-air moss-covered amphitheater invites people under a kigumi cloud for musical and theatrical performances, engaging the city with a natural place for cultural activity.
塔樓以獨特外觀輪廓，作為對於城市與周圍廣闊自然環境的聲聲回應。望向基地附近的天際景觀，由近至遠，城市、海港到遠處綿延的山脈曲線，再將之轉化為宏大而寬闊的旋轉弧線輪廓，如雕刻版的層層刻劃，將建築內部柔和的氛圍展現得淋漓盡致，所有居住單元皆配置陽台，使居者可盡情享受與周圍環境的連結，同時坐擁屋簷下的木質花紋視野。而其他場域中，則由玻璃、不透明鋁板和格柵板組成垂直外牆，反射並過濾西北太平洋不斷變化的光線，與時間共舞出幻變的空間氛圍。綜觀整體，本項目成為天際線中一標誌性存在，由多個細節單元組成向上旋轉延伸，每一面皆展現不同的輪廓面，與溫哥華城市景觀相得益彰。
The tower's characteristic silhouette results from its response to the city and to the vast natural surroundings. Large, sweeping arcs carve the building volume according to view corridors of the adjacent buildings, toward the Harbour and the mountains beyond. These big scoops reveal the softer interiors of the building, yielding balconies throughout, and exposing the wood patterning beneath the eaves. Outdoor living is immediately accessible for each unit. Elsewhere, the harder vertical facades comprise units of glass, opaque aluminum and grille panels, reflecting and filtering the ever-changing Pacific Northwest light. It is a tall, distinctive presence on the skyline, but made of visibly smaller pieces. No two views of the building are the same, its shape elusive.
