The Vibes多功能空间丨越南胡志明市丨Infinitive Architecture

由 Infinitive Architecture 设计的 The Vibes，位于越南胡志明市，是一座低层多功能建筑，旨在创建多功能的餐饮、会议、研讨会、画廊和活动中心。该项目展示了如何在不占用大片土地的情况下为城市插入功能性的绿色空间，展示了生物气候设计方法，并在整个落成过程中都采用了天然材料。该场馆自 2022 年 8 月开放以来，一直受到人们的关注，不仅由于其市中心的优势位置，还因为它已经成为了人们聚会、工作、放松、庆祝的日常活动场所。

Infinitive Architecture introduces The Vibes, a low-rise multi-functional building designed to create a multi-functional hub for F&B, meetings, workshops, galleries, and events in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The project showcases an effort to insert a functional green point into the city without occupying a large plot of land. It also demonstrates a bio-climatic design approach and natural material use throughout implementation. The venue has entered the spotlight since opening in August 2022, gaining a reputation as a regular place to meet, work, chill out, and celebrate, right in the heart of the urban center.

设计背景 Design context 越南大城市的居民，尤其是胡志明市的居民，已经普遍意识到优质绿色空间和良好空气质量的重要性。公共交通的严重缺乏、交通堵塞、噪音和空气污染、以及城市气候的逐渐升温都导致了人们在通勤与工作时消耗能多的能源。与此同时，大多数低层建筑的超高密度建设使得绿色空间更加稀少。在城里拥挤炎热的地方吃午餐，或者锁在有空调的房间里，已经成为大多数人的常态。

It has become prevalent for dwellers in Vietnam’s big cities, especially Ho Chi Minh City, to realize the importance of having access to qualified green spaces and good air quality. A serious lack of public transportation, traffic jams with noise and air pollution, and urban environment heating contribute to wearing down energy as people head to their offices. Meanwhile, extreme high density construction for the majority of low-rise buildings leaves no options for green spaces. Lunchtime in a cramped and hot place in town, or locked in an air-conditioned room, has become the norm for most people.

项目实施理念

Implementing project ideas

该建筑包括三个区域：

第 1 区：底层为前台接待、餐饮空间，与后台办公区。

第 2 区：二层和三层的后半部分，用于会议、研讨会和共享工作空间。

第 3 区：屋顶花园（占据了三层面积的一半）和四层的文物画廊，将用于文化、教育、演讲，和聚会活动。

The building comprises three zones.

Zone 1: Ground floor for F.O.H, F&B, and B.O.H.

Zone 2: Level 1 and the back half of Level 2, designed for meetings, workshops, and co-working spaces.

Zone 3: A combination of a rooftop garden (occupying half of the Level 2 area) and a Heritage Gallery at Level 3, designed for cultural, educational, speaking, and gathering events.

空间规划 Space Planning

通过过渡空间的规划，设计师使建筑的主立面面向内部。从大门到庭院花园，在人们进入入口大厅之前的旅程足够长，这种设计使宁静绿洲的感觉逐渐加深。庭院安静到可以听到鸟鸣和蝉鸣，以及竹帘上的微风声。而建筑的部分体量也消隐在了交错的公共绿色空间中。建筑区域也因此形成了景观系统的一部分。

Using transitioning space planning, the designers enhanced the building with the main facade located on and facing the inside. The journey from the gate to the courtyard garden (before getting to the entrance lobby) is long enough to gradually increase the feeling of transitioning into a tranquil oasis. The courtyard is quiet enough to hear birds and cicadas chirping, and the fine wind-powered sound on the bamboo facade curtain. Additionally, the 3D interlaced public green spaces somehow make part of the massing vanish into the landscape. The build-up areas appear to form part of a landscape system.

不同层次的绿色空间都是横向和纵向相连的，鼓励着人们去探索这风景如画的绿色空间。庭院走道尽头的巨大植物屏风墙定义了建筑的入口，这面攀缘植物的绿色屏风墙消除了室内内外空间的界限。8 米高的开放大厅充满了明媚的光线与新鲜的空气，大叶植物提供了荫凉，形成了与庭院花园零距离的次级阴影花园。

Green spaces at different levels are all connected, both horizontally and vertically, in a way that encourages people to explore the upper floors of the picturesque green scenery. A huge plant screen wall at the end of the courtyard walkway defines the entrance to the building. This green screen wall of vertical cable climbing plants eliminates the inside and outside boundaries. Sunlight and open air soothe the 8-meter-high open lobby with large foliage trees, forming an outstanding secondary under-shadow garden with zero distance from the courtyard garden.

体量设计 Massing Concept 体量的设计概念重视透明度。四层 8 米高的竹制遮阳屏风为玻璃幕墙提供了遮阳。这些遮阳屏风提供了从室内到周围环境的低透明度视野，同时保持了室内空间的合理隐私。三层与四层是建筑主立面的关键几何元素，呈现出折叠的 U 型，并与攀缘植物、草坪和水景的形态保持了合理的比例。建筑前部凹进的部分形成了入口通道，同时创造出吸引人的庭院景观。

The idea of massing demonstrates the see-through concept. Four layers of 8-meter-high bamboo sunshade screens on all glass curtain walls sandwich the interior spaces. These sun-shading screens provide low-opacity views from the interior toward the surroundings, yet maintain sensible privacy for the spaces in between them. The second and third layers are key geometric elements of the main facade of the building, in a sensible proportion with other rectangular surfaces including climber plants, grass, and water features, coming in a U-folded assemblage. The concave part of the massing on the front forms the entrance walkway and offers an appealing view of the courtyard.

遮阳和过渡空间

Sunshade and Buffering Solution

建筑的外围护结构采用了生态节能策略，100%的玻璃构成的幕墙系统隐藏在竹制的外表皮后。最重要的是，在开放的休息室和走廊上，攀缘植物系统和下垂的植物屏风墙作为空间分隔，使这些缓冲空间更加隐秘而舒适。竹屏风随风而动的声响，为空间增添了一丝宁静且禅意的气氛。当人们从室内向外看时，微微飘动的竹屏风也带来了生动的感受。

The building nests within an energy-saving envelope, with a 100% glass curtain wall system hidden behind the bamboo skin. On top of that, a system of cable climbing plants and drooping plant screen walls as space dividers at open lounges and corridors makes these buffering spaces more retreated and comfortable. Movement and sound effects, derived from the bamboo screen oscillation, infuse the spaces with a tranquil mood. It also results in a lively emotion, while looking through a sunshade screen in motion, especially from the interior.

材料选择

Material concept

材料为建筑创造出生态友好的氛围，这些绿色材料包括：竹子、植物、屏风墙和高压灭菌砖。室外地面也经过了精心的设计，作为改善微气候策略中的一环，最大限度地减少了地面对太阳能量的吸收和辐射回室外空间。庭院和屋顶花园设有草地、水景，以及表面铺有土工格室的碎石铺地，在需要的地方则设有由细混凝土或踏石构成的人行道。合理的材料选择，加上大量的绿色植物，为室内和室外空间营造出舒适的体感环境。建筑第三区文物展览馆部分的屋顶和外墙都采用了 Onduline 屋面系统，验证了环保和可回收的围护结构材料的性能。

The building generates an eco-friendly vibe through the use of materials. Bamboo, plants screen walls, and autoclaved bricks are elements of green material composition. As a microclimate improvement solution, the firm designed outdoor ground surfaces in a way that minimizes the absorption and radiating of the sun’s energy back to the outdoor spaces. The courtyard and the rooftop garden surfaces come with grass, a water feature, and crushed stone aggregate topping on Geocells, with fine concrete or step stone walkways where needed. The use of materials, together with a great density of greenery, has entitled the building to a regularly comfortable outdoor and semi-outdoor temperature. The Onduline Roofing System for both the roof and the external walls of the Heritage Gallery in Zone 3 of the building demonstrates the implementation of an eco-friendly and recycled choice of material for the envelope.

文化意义 Cultural approach

最后，第三区的遗产画廊作为前西贡市的一部分，发挥着彰显建筑文化意义的作用。画廊透明的入口幕墙面向花园，而画廊内则非常重视声学，包括采用了折纸风格的天花板，以及来自该市最古老的教堂的 3000 多块 160 年历史的粘土屋顶瓦。为了宣传遗产保护的重要性，这里举办了许多文化活动，并希望成为展示旧西贡照片、绘画和地图的定期展览空间，为越南的遗产保护做出小小的贡献。

Last but not least, the Heritage Gallery in Zone 3 plays a meaningful role as a part of the formerly named city of Saigon. The gallery comes with a transparent entrance wall facing the rooftop garden just one level below, yet is designed with acoustic elements including an origami-inspired ceiling design and an installation of over 3,000 pieces of 160-year-old clay roof tiles from the oldest standing church in the city. Conveying a preservation message, the place has hosted many cultural activities and events and expects to become a regular exhibition space for photographs, paintings, and maps about the old Saigon, as a tiny contribution to heritage preservation in Vietnam.
