Bicocca Superlab室内设计丨意大利米兰丨Balance Architettura

该项目位于米兰 Bicocca 区，是一座 6,500 平方米的办公楼的改造工程（LEED 金级认证）。我们并未选择拆除这栋原有的四层建筑，而是提出了对其内部和外部进行全面翻新的方案，同时保留现有的结构。项目的目标是保留建筑的工业记忆。原有结构具有非凡的精确性与美感，我们将其作为主要出发点。项目的重点是在尽量少增加新元素的前提下，优化内部流线与功能。新增的每个内部元素均独立于原有结构。

The project is the redevelopment (LEED Gold) of a 6,500m2 office building in Milan, located in the Bicocca district. Instead to demolish the pre-existing 4-storey building, we preferred to propose the general renovation of both the interior and exterior while maintaining the existing structure. The goal was to maintain the industrial memory of the building. The pre-existing structure, of extraordinary precision and beauty, was preserved and became the main starting element. The focus of the project was therefore to add as little as possible and work on internal flows and functions. Each internal added element is always independent from the existing structure.

这栋长约 100 米的建筑，曾是米兰知名冶金工厂 Breda Siderurgica 的历史办公楼。因其长度，现在被称为“水平摩天楼”。Bicocca 是米兰北部地区一个著名的街区，也是意大利最早的工业区之一。这里曾是工人阶级的聚集地，诞生了许多大型工业企业，如 Pirelli、Marcegaglia、Breda、Magneti Marelli 等。

The building, approximately 100 meters long, housed the former offices of the historic Breda Siderurgica, a well-known Milanese metallurgy factory; due to its length it is now receiving the nickname “horizontal skyscraper”. The Bicocca neighborhood is a well-known neighborhood in the northern area of Milan. It is one of the first Italian industrial districts, a symbol of a time populated by working classes, where large industries such as Pirelli, Marcegaglia, Breda itself, Magneti Marelli, etc. arose.

自 1991 年以来，Bicocca 还成为米兰大学体系的重要支柱之一，米兰 Bicocca 大学便坐落于此。原有建筑的纤细铁质结构被假墙和假天花板覆盖，导致其特征无法被欣赏。在此次改造中，通过创造开阔的空间，拆除所有内部墙体和覆盖层，这些特征得以被显露出来。1950 年代设计的双向桁架，以最佳方式优化了材料的使用，结构框架展现出有趣的空间特性。项目的第一步便是凸显这份结构张力，并尽可能加以保护。

Since 1991, Bicocca has also become one of the most crucial pillars of the university structure of Milan with the Bicocca University of Milan. The pre-existing building was supported by a slender iron structure which was covered by false-walls and false-ceilings. At no point could its characteristics be appreciated. It was brought to light by the large spaces created and by the removal of all the internal walls and coverings. Whoever, in the 1950s, had sized the trusses in both directions, had optimized the material used in the best possible way and built the structural framework in a spatially interesting way. The approach to the project was therefore immediately to highlight this constructive tension and to safeguard it as much as possible.

在地下室（现已改为入口层），我们选择将混凝土的结构特性暴露出来，即使在不够精确、不够完美，甚至与拆除区域接触的地方，也保留了这些细节。此举旨在表现未完成的城市特质——这是我们所有项目中的核心概念。

内部庭院也进行了重新规划，包括新的绿化区域、景观设计以及新的步行和自行车道。在功能与分布上，我们将地下室（-1 层）改造为 0 层，将原本是仓库、地窖的空间改造成双层挑高的大堂/接待区和可用的工作空间，新增了 1,600 平方米的可用空间，并通过了相关市政许可。

The internal courtyard has also been redeveloped, with new green areas, a landscape project and a new pedestrian and cycle path. From a functional and distribution point of view, the choice was to transform floor -1 into floor 0, or to convert what were the basement rooms (warehouses, cellars) into double-height hall/reception and work spaces usable, generating 1,600 m2 of habitable spaces, authorized by relevant municipal concessions.

进入建筑后，从大厅中部下行至双层挑高的入口空间，那里设有接待区、一棵 5 米高的白桦树、两部镜面电梯，以及等候和会议室。

You enter the building from the middle of the hall, go down into the double-height entrance space where there is the reception area, a 5m birch tree, the two elevators in mirrored material and the waiting and meeting room.

上层楼的色调略有区分：一层（绿色）、二层（黄色）、三层（珊瑚色）。项目通过空间性和材料性进行塑造；总体上，我们的项目倾向于使用材料的原始颜色：混凝土的灰色、木材的本色、钢材的黑色等。只有在设计的最后阶段，如果需要，我们才会添加人工的色彩层，有时需要，有时不需要。在这个项目中，色彩是一种人工手段，用于抽象原有结构并凸显建筑选择的当代性。夜晚，建筑展现出其最大魅力，内部结构与脊骨一览无遗。

The upper floors are differentiated by a faint color tone: Floor Zero (Green), Floor First (Yellow), Floor Second (Coral). The project is shaped with spatiality and matter; in general our projects are set up using the original colors of the materials: gray for concrete, wood color for wood, black for steel etc. Right at the end of the process, not before, if necessary, an artificial layer of color is added. Sometimes we need it, sometimes we don’t. In this particular case the colors are an artificial expedient to abstract the existing structure and highlight the contemporaneity of the architectural choice. At night the building reaches its maximum expression, showing its internal organs and its ribs.

项目的另一个核心是立面的设计。设计重点在于弱化两处混凝土楼梯间的纪念性，通过统一的外立面与环境形成对话。据我们的研究，这是首栋采用透明橡胶幕墙的建筑。其立面由透明可回收硅橡胶构成的压条和立柱组成。选择透明橡胶的灵感来源于与昼夜光线的对话，同时也向该地作为 Pirelli 工厂发源地致敬。在内部空间设计上，通过暴露建筑结构，各楼层在空间、光线与环境间产生互动。

Another central aspect of the project is given by the facade composition. There was a design interest in weakening the monumentality of the two concrete stairwells, in rationalizing the division with the outside through a uniform skin, in dialogue with the context. It is the first building ever built (as far as our research and information is concerned) to have a curtain wall with a transparent rubber external finish. In fact, the facade is made up of pressers and uprights in transparent recyclable silicone rubber. The idea of experimenting with the choice of transparent rubber on the facade derives from the intentional desire to dialogue with day and night light, and also from the location, home to the first Pirelli factory. Regarding the internal spaces, by leaving the internal structure exposed, each floor reacts with space, light, and context.
