Visa 新市场支持中心丨中国金山丨Henning Larsen

由Henning Larsen设计的Visa新市场支持中心现已正式落成，其外观灵感源自加州优胜美地国家公园中的玄武岩岩层。

Inspired by the basalt rock formation of California’s Devils Postpile in Yosemite National Park, Henning Larsen’s design of Visa’s new Market Support Center has taken its final form.

这座13层高的塔楼是Mission Rock多期开发项目一期中的四栋建筑之一。Visa大楼是该地区的建筑核心，标志着该区域将成为一个集工作、娱乐和生活于一体的新去处。

The 13-story tower is one of four buildings in Phase One of the multiphase Mission Rock neighborhood. The Visa building is an architectural centerpiece, establishing the neighborhood as a new place to work, play, and live.

Mission Rock旨在改造旧金山南部滨水区28英亩的土地，为城市打造全新街区。该项目是铁狮门公司、旧金山巨人队和旧金山港口之间的公私合作伙伴关系项目，旨在建立城市生活的新框架；以前的工业用地将焕然新生，成为住宅社区、创新工作场所、本地生产商、制造商和创造者、商店和咖啡馆以及社会设施的所在地。

Transforming 28 acres of San Francisco’s southern waterfront, Mission Rock is a new neighborhood for the city. A public-private partnership between Tishman Speyer, the San Francisco Giants, and the Port of San Francisco, the mixed-use development is establishing a new framework for civic life; former industrial land is revived as home to a residential community, innovative workplaces, local producers, makers and creators, shops and cafes and social amenities.

Visa市场支持中心采用白色粗犷的菱面外墙，并辅以从建筑底部延伸而出的梯形台地，在视觉上延伸了附近的中国盆景公园，这是由SCAPE公司于2024年4月开放的占地5英亩的新公共公园。

The Visa Market Support Center features a white, ruggedly faceted façade, accented by terraces that ascend from the building’s base, visually extending nearby China Basin Park, a new 5-acre public park by SCAPE which opened in April 2024.

我们的设计从加州优胜美地国家公园的地质构造中汲取灵感，并将这些影响浓缩成‘街区’尺度，通过将体量雕刻成较小的空间，激发旧金山传统街区更小尺度的空间魅力。菱面雕刻的白色预制外墙捕捉了一天中光影的变化，赋予建筑不断变化的外观，使其与新滨水区的地点相得益彰。

Drawing inspiration from the geologic formations of California’s Yosemite National Park, our design distills these influences into a ‘neighborhood’ scale by carving massing volume into smaller bays, evoking the smaller scale and charm of San Francisco’s traditional neighborhoods. The faceted carved white precast façade, captures the play of light and shadow throughout the day, imbuing the building with an ever-changing appearance fitting its site on the new waterfront.

从街道层面来看，雕刻后的体量创造了充满活力、变化丰富的视觉效果，让人联想起旧金山著名的地形。位于Toni Stone交叉路口的Visa园区看起来像一个细节丰富的岩壁，是由堆叠的块体和垂直剪切体组成的动态体量。塔楼本身则矗立在五层高的台面上，顶部设有避风屋顶露台。

From street level, the carved massing creates a dynamic, varied appearance, reminiscent of San Francisco’s famous topography. Located on Toni Stone Crossing, the Visa campus appears as a detailed rock face, a dynamic mass of stacked blocks and vertical sheers. The tower itself rises up from a fifth-floor mesa, crowned with wind-sheltered rooftop terraces.

Visa的员工可以使用从二楼到五楼环绕建筑物顶部的高空露台。在这些露台上可以俯瞰巨人队的甲骨文球场，以及旧金山的天际线和横跨旧金山湾水域的湾桥美景。

Visa’s employees have access to outdoor terraces which wrap around from the second to fifth floors and crown the building’s peak. They offer a peek into the Giants’ Oracle Park as well as views of the San Francisco skyline and the Bay Bridge stretching across the waters of the San Francisco Bay.

I’m delighted about the scale and texture of this new neighborhood, and the collaborative process with Tishman Speyer, the Giants and the cohort of internationally renowned architects that has created a truly special place.

为了创造一个与旧金山最新街区无缝融合的空间，我们对 Mission Rock 的方法源于富有意义的合作和对城市环境的共同理解。通过一系列与客户和共同设计者的研讨会，我们制定了一个方案，其中各个元素在概念上统一，为城市创造一个建筑和社会中心。

——Henning Larsen 设计总监 Daniel Baumann

To create a space that integrates seamlessly into the fabric of San Francisco’s newest nieghborhood, our approach to Mission Rock was born out of meaningful collaboration and a shared understanding of the urban environment. Through a series of workshops with clients and co-designers, we developed a scheme in which individual elements are conceptually united to create an architectural and social centerpiece for the city.
