Cleveland基金会总部大楼丨美国丨S9 Architecture

这座由S9 Architecture设计的Cleveland基金会总部大楼，采用胶合木结构，是该地块首座落成于创新区总体规划中的建筑。项目选址位于Hough街区南缘，这是一片历史悠久的非裔美国人社区，曾在20世纪60年代的社会动荡中遭受严重破坏。基金会对创新区的设想具有多重目标：修复社区的物理创伤，提供惠及居民的公共空间和设施，打造可持续的经济催化器，同时确保新区域与Hough社区及城市肌理的联结。

The Cleveland Foundation mass timber building is the first constructed in a master planned Innovation District. The site is located on the south edge of the Hough neighborhood, a historically African American community that was immensely damaged during social strife of the 1960’s. The intent of the Cleveland Foundation’s plan for the Innovation District is multi-pronged: to heal physical scars in the neighborhood, to provide community facilities and public realm that benefit neighborhood residents, to create sustainable economic catalysts that will benefit the community and to ensure that the new district is connected to Hough and the city fabric.

项目设计在前期对社区优势与不足、周边环境以及基金会使命和价值观进行了深入调研，并在此基础上构建了设计叙事，为基金会打造一个全新的永久性办公场所。

Extensive analysis and time were spent on the community’s strengths and weaknesses, the surrounding context, and alignment with the Cleveland Foundation’s mission and values. A design narrative was crafted to address these aspects in the realization of the Foundation’s new permanent home.

基地位于东66街与Euclid大道交汇处，连接市中心与大学圈（University Circle）区域。它毗邻历史悠久的Dunham Tavern，地块边界分别临近公园、城市街区与住宅社区，三种不同城市状态的交汇成为设计的关键线索。建筑体量以“公园攀升入建筑”的策略回应Dunham Tavern的历史语境：通过一处社区楼梯，户外景观延伸至建筑内部，形成一个人工地形。

The site sits at the corner of East 66th Street, connecting downtown Cleveland to the University Circle district. The site is adjacent to the historic Dunham Tavern and borders three distinct conditions: park, city, and neighborhood. The merging of these conditions is a strong basis for the design. The building is massed so that Dunham Park climbs up and enters the building creating outdoor spaces respectful to Dunham but also an artificial landscape within the building through a community stair.

面向Euclid大道一侧，建筑体量后退，营造出一个公共广场，并尽可能保留和增强了对Dunham Tavern的视线通廊。建筑大面积的透明界面展示了基金会的日常运作与社区空间，体现其开放与共享的价值观。其立面网格源自基地的工业历史，并通过大面积西部红雪松木的应用，将建筑塑造为一个面向社区的“家”。这一材料与毗邻的公园、露台和广场自然融合，同时也为内部空间带来温暖质感，营造宜人的公共和办公环境。

On the Euclid city side, the mass is pulled back to form a public plaza and preserve and enhance Dunham Tavern views. Large areas of transparency display the workings of the Foundation and the community spaces representing the Foundation’s values. The modern contextual grid was derived from the site’s industrial origins. A desire to further soften the building façade as a community “house”, informed the choice of a heavy timber structure clad in Western Red Cedar. This material merges with the adjoining park, terraces, and plazas while the interior warmth and openness provides beautiful public space and workplaces.

建筑内外及其边界空间，致力于弱化公共与私人、室内与室外、社区与场所之间的界限，以柔性开放的姿态融入社区日常生活。

Within and along the edges of the building, the intent was to soften and blur the lines between public realm and private realm, indoor and outdoor spaces and community and place.
