金鸡驿丨中国苏州丨BIG+Arts Group

近日，BIG 在中国苏州完工了占地面积 1200 平方米的金鸡驿。坐落于金鸡湖畔，该驿站不仅为公众聚会和会客接待提供了理想的场地，也作为规划中的 11 个永久性驿站之一，成为苏州市打造充满活力、富有吸引力的湖滨步道的重要一站。

BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group has completed the 1,200-m2 Jinji Lake Pavilion in Suzhou, China. Situated on the Jinji waterfront, the pavilion offers a space for public gatherings and hospitality and is one of the eleven permanent pavilions developed as part of the City’s initiative to create a vibrant and welcoming promenade.

项目由 BIG 与 Arts Group 联合设计，金鸡驿的新建筑巧妙融合了中国传统庭院的建筑语言与现代公共空间的元素。其灵感源自人们在树下聚集、彼此联络的悠久传统。为体现这一理念，四座独立的建筑相互连接，构成开敞的空间，不仅为本地居民和游客提供了一个聚会的场所，也为漫步在金鸡湖 13 公里步道上的行人提供了一个惬意的休憩驿站。作为 BIG 在苏州竣工的首座建筑，金鸡驿与其毗邻的苏州当代美术馆相得益彰，后者计划于今年晚些时候落成。

Designed by BIG and Arts Group, the new Jinji Lake Pavilion merges the traditional Chinese courtyard typology with the offerings of a modern public space. Four distinct buildings are interconnected to form a gathering space for visitors and locals, as well as a resting point for walkers along the 13-km Jinji Lake trail. The pavilion is BIG’s first completed building in Suzhou, with the neighboring Suzhou Museum of Contemporary Art scheduled to follow later this year.

我们的金鸡驿坐落在湖畔的香樟树下，为社区打造了一个静谧的避风港。它仿佛是周围树冠的延伸，屋顶由像素化的树叶组成，优雅地垂落，既在小径交汇处提供遮蔽，又勾画出壮丽的湖景。穿孔板投射出斑驳的阴影，仿佛叶影轻舞，既呈现出诗意的美感，又兼具卓越的热性能，将艺术性与功能性完美融合。–Catherine Huang，BIG 合伙人

Nestled under the grand camphor trees along the lake, the Jinji Lake Pavilion provides a tranquil space for the community. It is envisioned as an extension of the surrounding canopy of foliage. A stylized roof of pixelated leaves gracefully drapes toward the ground, providing a protective canopy over the junction of paths and framing spectacular views of the lake. Perforated plates cast dappled shadows, imitating the pattern of leaves while providing optimal thermal performance, blending poetic beauty with functionality. – Catherine Huang, Partner, BIG

驿站通透开阔的玻璃立面不仅让人们在室内就能够尽览外部风光，抛光钢表面反射的光线与绿意，更巧妙地将驿站与滨水公园紧密相连。其像素化屋顶进一步消解了建筑的尺度感，使其与周围环境的纹理融为一体。

The pavilion’s generous glass facades allow views of the landscape from inside, while the polished steel surfaces mirror light and greenery, creating a subtle connection between the pavilion and the waterfront park. The pixelated roof further breaks down the scale of the structure, blending it with the textures of the surrounding environment.

金鸡驿的设计理念是将一系列的公共空间汇聚在同一屋檐之下。它汲取了中国传统茶馆的建筑智慧，以玻璃砖替代了琉璃瓦屋顶，将轻盈与透明的概念升华至新的高度，模糊了室内与室外、花园与建筑之间的界限。金鸡驿宛如苏州当代美术馆的胞妹，在苏州丰富的中国园林建筑遗产上，尝试重新构想湖区未来的建筑与景观。–Bjarke Ingels，BIG 创始人兼创意总监

The Jinji Lake Pavilion is 构思成一个公共房间的家庭，排列在一个统一的天篷下。唤起了中国传统茶馆的建筑，玻璃陶瓷瓦屋顶被实际的玻璃砖所取代，将轻盈和透明的概念提升到另一个层次，并模糊了室内和室外——花园和建筑之间的区别。就像苏州当代艺术博物馆的小妹妹一样，金鸡湖亭寻求重新想象根植于苏州丰富的中国园林建筑遗产的湖区的未来建筑和景观。——Bjarke Ingels，BIG 的创始人兼创意总监

建筑的屋顶在边缘轻轻上扬，形成宽敞的双层通高入口，引导游客移步中央庭院，庭院中央的树成为空间静谧的中心。游客可以从驿站四处的任意一个开口进入到庭院，每个区域都设有独特的功能，分别为咖啡厅、精品店、餐厅和游客中心。

The pavilion’s roof is lifted on each side, creating generous double-height entrances that guide visitors into the central courtyard, where a tree serves as a tranquil focal point at the heart of the space. From the courtyard, guests can access the four sections of the pavilion, each housing its own function: a coffee shop, a boutique, a restaurant, and a visitor center.

驿站的屋顶结构将周围的自然景观引入室内，屋顶由两层穿孔遮阳板组成——外层与玻璃组件相结合，内层则形成天花板。两层结构共同营造出如同树冠般的视觉效果，让人们在屋内也能不经意间瞥见天空。与此同时，阳光透过孔洞洒落，投射出斑驳的光影图案，随着一天中光线的变化，展现出独特的光影韵律。

Drawing the surroundings inside the pavilion, the roof structure features two layers of perforated shading elements – an outer layer integrated into a glass assembly and an inner layer forming the ceiling. Together, they provide glimpses into the sky and allow daylight to come through the perforations, casting patterns of light and shadow throughout the day.

BIG 于 2024 年在上海开设新工作室，以支持金鸡驿及毗邻的苏州当代美术馆的建设，并以此为契机，进一步加强事务所在该地区的业务发展力度。

In 2024, BIG opened its studio in Shanghai to support the development of the Jinji Lake Pavilion and adjacent Suzhou Museum of Contemporary Art and to further expand the firm’s presence in the region.
