红牛加拿大总部

红牛加拿大总部位于多伦多市中心的皇后西街艺术区（Queen West Art District）内。设计团队希望将这个总部打造为一个与变革有关的空间容器——人们既可以在这里完成个人技能的提升，又可以在这里捕捉和记录瞬间的灵感。

Located in downtown Toronto’s Queen West Art District, the design concept for Red Bull’s Headquarters is derived from the notion of spaces as vessels for transformation – for both personal transformation and as receptacles that capture and record one’s personal development.

作为一个思想碰撞的场所，音乐学院（Music Academy）贯彻了红牛公司“以指导代替资助（mentorship instead of sponsorship）”的口号，为人们提供了一个累积和传播知识经验的空间。为了及时地将将瞬间迸发的灵感记录下来，建筑师在中庭空间内设计了一片名为“记忆碎片之墙（Memento Wall）”的二层高的墙体。墙上可以嵌入透明的丙烯酸方盒子，盒子里可以放置任何物品、写作手稿和其他的突发灵感，以便于为来此参加活动的艺术家们提供创作的灵感来源。

The Music Academy is one vessel that encapsulates Red Bull’s corporate mantra of ‘mentorship instead of sponsorship’, functioning as a forum for the exchange of ideas – an inspirational hub where knowledge and experience are gained and disseminated. Recording these moments in time, the design features a “Memento Wall” reaching two-storeys tall in the atrium. The wall is affixed with clear, acrylic boxes containing objects, writings, and other ephemera that were inspirational to participating artists during their time at the Academy.

随后，红牛空间（Red Bull space）的面积被扩建到了5,000平方英尺。建筑师将主要的设计重点放在了以下四个部分上：一个吧台/休息区、一个线性的开放式工作空间、一系列羊毛毡饰面的空间、以及一个会议室空间。

The Red Bull space was later expanded by 5000SF and focuses on four main components: a bar/lounge area, a linear open workstation concept, a wool felt-clad form, and a boardroom.

客户的设计要求可以被归纳为三点：一是为行政/会计人设计一个富有创造力的办公空间，让他们不用再将自身限制在乏善可陈的办公室内；二是在建材方面主要使用可回收的材料；三是设计出的空间不仅要在概念和形式上与设计初衷保持一致，更应该是对设计初衷的一种重新诠释。

The client’s brief was essentially three-fold: to create an inspiring space for staff in administrative/accounts who are normally relegated to bland, impersonal spaces; to predominantly utilize materials from a reclaimed source; and to create a space consistent in concept and form to the original, yet be a reinterpretation of it.
