Infosys办公园区丨印度丨Morphogenesis

本项目为 IT 巨头 Infosys 于印度马邦 Nagpu 的新办公园区，其优越的建筑表现超越了可持续性和能源效率的传统标准。该园区位于毗邻城市即将建成的 MIHAN 商业中心的经济特区内，可容纳 2000 多名员工，占地 33 英亩（总面积 142 英亩），目前处于一期开发阶段，未来还将计划扩建。

The new office campus for IT giant Infosys in Nagpur sets surpasses conventional benchmarks for sustainability and energy efficiency. Situated within the Special Economic Zone adjacent to the city’s upcoming MIHAN commercial hub, the campus accommodates over 2,000 employees across 33 acres (out of a total of 142 acres) in its Phase-1 development, with future phases planned for expansion.

新园区采用零能耗设计，以应对 Nagpur 复杂的气候条件。建筑的设计受到 Nagpur 独特纬度（北回归线以下）的启发，体现了 s.o.u.l（可持续、优化、独特和宜居）的设计过程，并结合了被动式设计策略，显著降低了建筑的能耗。此外，建筑师在整个设计过程中还优先考虑了项目的文化包容性、重视利益相关者的参与，确保了园区在保留其独特身份的同时反映用户的愿望和价值观。协作研讨会、设计研讨会和反馈会议促进了建筑师、客户和最终用户之间有意义的对话，从而产生了真正包容且响应需求的设计解决方案。

The new campus features a net-zero energy-enabled design that responds to Nagpur’s composite climate. The architecture, inspired by Nagpur’s unique latitude (just below the tropic of Cancer), embodies the practice’s S.O.U.L. (Sustainable, Optimized, Unique, and Liveable) design process, and incorporates passive design strategies to significantly reduce its energy consumption. Moreover, the architects prioritized cultural inclusivity and stakeholder participation throughout the design process, ensuring that the campus reflects the aspirations and values of its users while retaining contextual identity. Collaborative workshops, design charrettes, and feedback sessions facilitated meaningful dialogue between architects, clients, and end-users, resulting in a truly inclusive and responsive design solution.

场地规划及形态 Site Planning and Morphology 建筑的形态和朝向在实现众多可持续发展目标方面发挥了不可或缺的作用。建筑以独特的 X 形平面为特色，每翼长达 100 米，并与北回归线呈 22.5 度角，两翼中心交叉点形成核心。这种设计将每层的进深都限制在了 18 米，确保了 90%的工作空间都能够从两侧获得充足的日光。建筑的形态也响应了规划要求，中央交通核心将位于两翼的离岸发展中心（ODC）聚集在一起。

The building’s form and orientation played an integral role in achieving the numerous sustainability goals. It features a distinctive X-shaped plan, with each of the 100m long wings oriented at 22.5 degrees to the tropic of Cancer, and the central intersection forming the core. This intervention, along with limiting the depth of each floor plate to 18m, ensures that 90% of the workspaces receive ample daylight from both sides. The morphology also responds to programmatic requirements, establishing a central circulation node that brings together the Offshore Development Centres (ODC) located in the wings.

平面效率

Planning Efficiency

离岸发展中心（ODC）的设计具有很高的效率。平面中大约 20%的面积用于交通循环，80%则为工作空间。办公空间多样化，包括合作工作站、会议室、休息区，以及办公舱。丰富的材料造就了地板图案的独特变化，加之高脚凳与桌子等高适应性的家具，以及多样化的配色方案，确保了每个工作空间都展现出独特的设计。此外大楼中还设置了健身房和休闲区等设施，以促进员工的健康，为人们创造福祉。

The Offshore Development Centres (ODC) are designed with high levels of efficiency. Roughly twenty percent of the area is dedicated to circulation cores, and eighty per cent reserved for workspaces. The diverse programme includes collaborative workstations, conference rooms, break-out areas, and office pods. Each workspace is uniquely designed using a myriad of materials—and is characterised by a distinct shift in flooring patterns, adaptable furniture such as high stools, tables, etc., and a diverse colour palette. Amenities like gyms and relaxation pockets are included in the programme to promote health and well-being.

公区与工作场所分开，优化了不同用户群体的交通流线。停车场布局设计高效，服务核心的战略位置使运营能够顺利进行，而不会中断任何工作流程，这有助于确保园区对行人友好。低矮的建筑高度呼应了周围的景观，促进了人与自然的互动。

The utility zones are separated from the workplace, optimizing circulation patterns for various user groups. Parking layouts have been designed efficiently, and the strategic placement of service cores enables operations to be carried out smoothly without disrupting any Workflows. This helps ensure a pedestrian-friendly campus. The low building height maintains proximity to the surrounding landscape, facilitating human-nature interaction.

被动和可持续设计策略

Passive and Sustainable Design Strategies

采用针对 Nagpur 气候量身定制的集成式被动冷却技术是本项目的关键设计策略之一。设计借鉴传统的建筑原则，以自然通风系统和调节室内温度的遮阳元素为特色，进而减少了建筑对于机械冷却的依赖。与立面等高的垂直遮阳翅片可调节为不同的角度，以调节光线的进入。翅片以橙色为基本色调，并添加了部分泥土色调，以形成色彩的渐变，该设计的灵感来自印度古典音乐音符 swaras，并为建筑外观增添了节奏感和视觉动感。

One of the key design strategies employed was the integration of passive cooling techniques tailored to Nagpur’s climate. Borrowing from traditional architectural principles, the campus features natural ventilation systems and thermal mass elements that regulate indoor temperatures, reducing reliance on mechanical cooling. Vertical fins are strategically oriented at varying angles along the entire length of the facades to regulate ingress of light. The base hue for the fins is orange, and earthy tones are added to develop a gradient. The design is inspired by the seven swaras(Indian classical music notes) and adds a sense of rhythm and visual dynamism to the building exterior.

翅片的配置呼应了不同的空间功能，包括工作空间、休息区以及会议空间。工作空间的外立面翅片角度呈狭窄的 40 度角，休息空间和会议区域则开放到更宽的 60 度角，以为这些空间引入更广阔的周围景观视野。通过降低窗户与墙的比例，再加上立面遮阳元素，工作空间中的眩光大大减少。

The fins’ configuration responds to the specific programme and is different for workspaces, break-out areas, and meeting spaces. A narrow 40-degree angle is employed for workspaces, whereas the fins open up to a wider, welcoming 60-degree angle in break-out spaces and meeting areas, granting ample views to the adjacent landscape. By decreasing the window-to-wall ratio, coupled with light shelves, glare on workstations is significantly reduced.

该设计还集成了最先进的技术，如辐射冷却系统，预计将大大节省运营成本。该系统利用混凝土板来吸收和散发热量，在不需要过度消耗能源的情况下营造出舒适的室内体感环境。智能建筑控制系统的集成进一步优化了能源使用，允许工作人员实时监控并调整环境参数。与 GRIHA 标准相比，这些设计策略使建筑的能源性能指数（EPI）降低了 52%。这也意味着该园区的能耗仅为典型办公楼的五分之一。

The design also integrates state-of-the-art technologies such as a radiant waffle cooling system, projected to result in substantial operational cost savings. This system utilizes the mass of the concrete slabs to absorb and dissipate heat, maintaining comfortable indoor conditions without the need for excessive energy consumption. The integration of smart building controls further optimizes energy usage, allowing for real-time monitoring and adjustment of environmental parameters. These design strategies have led to a 52% reduction in the Energy Performance Index (EPI) compared to GRIHA benchmarks. This also means that the campus consumes only one-fifth of the energy of a typical office building.

历史和文化要素 Elements of History and Culture

除了功能方面，Infosys 园区的建筑设计还反映了对文化和历史背景的深刻理解。该设计从 Nagpur 丰富的遗产中汲取灵感，将当地艺术、象征主义和工艺元素融入建筑形式。建筑垂直的立面边缘以纯粹的混凝土为特征，同时也以该立面为城市创造了一面背景画布。30 米高的 RCC 混凝土墙一端展示了 Nagpur 堡的“零英里位置”，另一端展示了代表 Infosys 工作文化的思维树。从立面上描绘的当代艺术到遍布内部空间的主题艺术作品，园区的每一个方面都反映了对地区身份和传统的彰显与尊重。

Beyond its functional aspects, the architectural design of the Infosys campus reflects a deep appreciation for cultural and historical contexts. The design borrows inspiration from Nagpur’s rich heritage, incorporating elements of local art, symbolism, and craftsmanship into the built form. The perpendicular edges of the building feature monolithic concrete walls and are visualized as urban canvases. The 30m tall RCC walls showcase a ‘Zero-Mile Location’ contemporary illustration of Nagpur Fort on one end and a mind tree representative of Infosys’ work culture on the other. From the contemporary art depicted on the façade to the thematic artwork scattered throughout the interior spaces, every aspect of the campus reflects a celebration of regional identity and tradition.

Infosys 园区展示了一种开创性的 21 世纪工作空间模式，其设计展示了与可持续发展目标和文化认同相一致的创新策略。该项目为接下来的十年中面积将达 10 亿平方米的印度城市化建设提供了一个全新的典范，向公众证明了对生态与用户负责的设计在塑造未来工作空间中的重要性。

The Infosys Campus stands as a pioneering 21st-century workspace, showcasing innovative design strategies aligned with sustainability goals and cultural identity. It serves as a model for India’s urbanization challenges (an estimated 1 billion sq. ft. of construction) in the next decade, emphasizing the importance of responsible architecture in shaping the future of workspaces.
