美的科学中心丨中国佛山丨北京市建筑设计研究院有限公司

这是一个关于科学技术创新成果的展示中心，也将成为中国科学奖的颁奖场所。科技是这个建筑的本质，创新是这座建筑的精神，我们试图通过极致简洁的形体表达建筑的现代性，用精密精致的材料呈现建筑的科技性。用白（实体）灰白（玻璃）黑（裸顶）将这一简约美学推向极致。同时她与安藤忠雄设计的“和美术馆”仅一路之遥，因此如何处理和这位建筑大师作品的关系，也成为本建筑绕不过去的话题。经过认真思考我们选择了四合式建筑母体对话“和美术馆”圆环型建筑母体，同样是用光作为建筑的灵感，美术馆追求的是光的节制和幽暗，科学中心希望通过光的开合与收放，传达科技与自然之间的共生关系。

The Midea Science Exhibition Center is dedicated to showcasing achievements in scientific and technological innovation, and will also serve as the venue for the China Science Awards. Technology forms the essence of this building, while innovation embodies its spirit. Through an extreme simplicity of form, we sought to express the building’s modernity; through the precision and refinement of materials, we aimed to manifest its technological character. A restrained palette—white (solid), light gray (glass), and black (exposed ceiling)—extends this minimalist aesthetic to its utmost. Located just across the street from Tadao Ando’s He Art Museum, the project inevitably enters into a dialogue with the master’s work. After thoughtful deliberation, we chose to respond to the museum’s circular form with a courtyard typology drawn from Chinese architectural tradition. Both buildings are inspired by light: while the museum pursues the discipline and quietude of light, the Science Exhibition Center seeks to express the symbiosis between technology and nature through the rhythm of light’s openness and enclosure.

景观设计

Landscape Design

我们的景观策略是将原有广场空间微微下沉，形成平静亲和的水面，虚实相生的建筑临水而居，仿佛与水融为一体。在炎炎的夏日，水面还能起到调节微气候的作用，为周边环境带来一份清凉。建筑周边的景观绿植与水面相互映衬，形成一个自然、和谐的生态环境。人们在繁忙的工作之余，可以来这里漫步，欣赏建筑与自然的和谐，感受艺术与科技的美好。

Our landscape strategy involves gently lowering the existing plaza to create tranquil, inviting waterscapes. Buildings, blending solid and void forms, sit alongside the water, appearing to merge seamlessly with it. During sweltering summers, the water surface helps regulate the microclimate, bringing a refreshing coolness to the surrounding environment. The landscape vegetation around the buildings complements the water, forming a natural, harmonious ecological environment. During work breaks, visitors may stroll here to appreciate the harmony between architecture and nature, while experiencing the beauty of art and technology.
