BDP百殿建筑设计，赞10

在伦敦大学校园的中心，由BDP设计的建筑装置Senate House Steps正式落成并启用。这座木结构的大阶梯为学生、教职员和市民们提供了一个自由的社交和活动空间，为校园和社区创造了更多可能性。

BDP’s new architectural installation at Senate House has created a symbol of opportunity and a new canvas for students in the shadow of the University of London’s flagship building. The ‘Senate House Steps’ is an inspiring and social space to inhabit and a place that cohorts are now taking ownership of, within the heart of the University estate.

Senate House是伦敦大学的行政大楼，是校区内重要的地标建筑。该建筑由知名设计师Charles Holden于1929年设计，Charles称“Senate House的不朽将超越所有个人和机构”。

Senate House was designed in 1929 as the flagship building and home of the University of London. The architect, Charles Holden, described the monumental building as a ‘symbol of the permanence of the institution beyond any individual’.

BDP’s multidisciplinary team was asked to design a creative, social environment that transforms the car park on the west side of the central tower into a social space while highlighting and enhancing the horseshoe layout of Senate House, continuing its symmetrical language and encouraging activity.

BDP为其打造了一个7.3米高的阶梯式装置，西班牙式的设计风格和醒目的橙色主色调象征着学生的活力和潜力。

Theresult is a 7.3 metre-tall structure that is a symbol of the dynamism andpotential of the students and of the wider university community. Introducingorange as the primary colour signifies opportunity, and the form and flexibilityof the Spanish-style steps deliver a sense of stage and presence.
