“高地”大楼

位于美国得克萨斯州阿灵顿市的“高地”大楼（The Heights）由 BIG 建筑事务所和建筑工程公司 LEO A DALY 共同设计完成，建筑的整体形态有如退进的梯田，沿中心轴呈扇形展开。这座大楼的建成，满足了阿灵顿市两项国家教育计划的需求，同时在高密度的城市肌理中形成了一座垂直的社区。

Designed by BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group and Executive Architect LEO A DALY, The Heights building opens as a cascade of green terraces fanning from a central axis, addressing the academic needs of Arlington’s two county-wide school programs while forming a vertical community within its dense urban context.

“高地”大楼位于阿灵顿市主要商圈

罗斯林-巴尔斯顿走廊

（Rosslyn-Ballston Corridor）沿线，将现有的两项中学课程—— H-B Woodlawn项目和Eunice Kennedy Shriver 特别教育班合并于一栋面积近 16,700 平方米的建筑之中，可容纳多达775名学生。2015年，BIG 和 LEO A DALY 受业主委托，与阿灵顿公立学校（APS）、WRAP（西罗斯林地区发展计划）以及阿灵顿社区紧密合作，设计最先进的教育设施，以支持H-B Woodlawn的视觉表演艺术课程，和Shriver班为有特殊教育需求的学生提供的大量教育资源。“高地”大楼有望获得美国LEED绿建筑金奖。

Located along Arlington’s Rosslyn-Ballstoncorridor, The Heights merges two existing secondary schools – the H-B Woodlawn Program and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver Program – into a new 180,000sf building to accommodate an expected enrollment of up to 775 students. BIG and LEO A DALY were commissioned in 2015 and worked closely with Arlington Public Schools (APS), WRAP (West Rosslyn Area Plan) and the Arlington community to designstate-of-the-art educational facilities that support both H-B Woodlawn's visualand performing arts-focused curricula and Shriver's extensive resources for students with specialized educational needs. The Heights is currently on track to achieve LEED Gold.

“高地”大楼坐落在市区内一片较为紧凑的区域内，三面被公路环绕，还有一侧与罗斯林高地公园（Rosslyn Highlands Park）衔接。建筑形态由五个矩形结构以沿中轴退进旋转的方式堆叠构成，保留了传统单层教学楼所拥有的社群感和空间效率。退进的结构形式使得每层楼都拥有开阔的屋顶，形成绿色的露天广场，也成为室内教学空间的延伸，为学生和教师创造了一个室内外连通的学习景观，相较于传统的教学环境，它打造的是一座传递知识的绿洲。

Situated within a compact urban site bounded by roads on three sides and a portion of Rosslyn Highlands Park, The Heights is conceived as a stack of five rectangular floorplates that rotate around a fixed pivot point, maintaining the community feeling and spatial efficiencies of a one-story school. Green terraces above each floor become an extension of the classroom, creating an indoor-outdoor learning landscape for both students and teachers — an educational oasis rather than a traditional school setting.

“我们的设计灵感来源于阿灵顿市本身的高密度，所以我们将教学空间以扇形展开，让每一层都与下一层的屋顶花园相连。最终形成的层叠露台通过螺旋的楼梯连接，如编织一般贯通各个楼层的内外空间，让不同学校、不同年龄段的学生都能够充分互动。每层露台都设计了景观，不仅带动了学生的社交生活，也为他们在户外学习提供了松适的室外空间。”

"Thedensity of the urban Arlington neighborhood became the inspiration for the school – wefanned the classrooms to allow each and every floor to be connected to the roofgarden on top of the classrooms below. The resultant cascading terraces areconnected by a curving stair that weaves through all levels – inside as well asoutside – making all students, from both programs and all ages, visually andphysically connected to each other. Each terrace is landscaped to lend itselfnot just to the social life of the students but also as informal outdoor spacesfor learning."

旋转的中央楼梯穿过建筑物的内部，连接着四层露台，学生可以在户外见面交流，并在社区和学校之间建立更牢固的联系。虽然较高的露台更适合较私密和安静的课程和学习，但宽敞的顶层露台和近两千平方米的休闲场地也可作为学校和社区活动的场所。

A rotating central staircase cuts through theinterior of the building to connect the four-tiered terraces, allowing studentsto circulate outside and forge a stronger bond between the neighborhood and theschool. While the upper terraces are more suitable for intimate classes andquiet study areas, the spacious first terrace and 18,700sf recreation fieldalso serve as public event venues for school-wide and neighborhood activities.

从威尔逊大道（Wilson Boulevard）的校门进入“高地”教学楼，学生和教职工们会首先经过一座三层高的大厅，大厅内设有阶梯式的座椅，可作为学生和公众的集聚场所。学校的许多公共场所，包括设有400个坐席的礼堂、主体育馆、图书馆、接待处和自助餐厅，都位于中心区域，并直接与大堂相连。

From Wilson Boulevard, students, teachers and staff are greeted by a triple-height lobby with stepped seating that double as an indoor gathering space for both student assemblies and public gatherings. Many of the school’s common spaces, including the 400-seat auditorium, main gymnasium, library, reception and cafeteria, are centrally located and directly adjacent to the lobby.

学校设置了面向社区的活动，鼓励公众在教学楼内积极活动，营造富有温度和亲和力的环境，同时增强共享空间之间的视觉联系。学校内还设置了专为学生使用的空间，包括一间艺术工作室、科学和机器人实验室、音乐排练室和两个表演艺术剧院。

Easy accessibility to the community-oriented programs hosted in the school encourages public interaction throughout the building, creating a welcoming environment while heightening the visual connectivity between the shared spaces. Other specialized student spaces include an art studio, science and robotic labs, music rehearsal rooms and two performing arts theaters.

教室是串联教学区空间的主要元素，围绕着由电梯、楼梯和洗手间聚合形成的垂直核心区展开布局。当学生从中央楼梯进入教室区时，会看到色谱在墙面上发生的渐变：每个教室的储物柜都有各自的颜色，在发挥导视功能的同时也带来了充满活力的学习氛围。

The classroom bars serve as the primary organizing elements, surrounding a central vertical core that contains the elevators, stairs and bathrooms. As students enter from the central staircase, they are greeted by an expanded gradient of the color spectrum: each classroom bar is defined by its own color, combining intuitive wayfinding with a vibrant social atmosphere from the ground to the sky.

Shriver班为11至22岁的学生提供特殊教育，占据两层楼，从一楼可直接进入，并设有专门的空间来支持APS的生活技能培训班，在保护隐私的同时，也能够保证各空间之间的通达性：体育馆、庭院、康复理疗套房和感官训练间等等，这些空间的设计都以帮助感觉训练和恢复为目的。

The Shriver Program providing special education for students aged 11 to 22 occupy two floors of the building accessible from the ground floor, and have specialized spaces dedicated to support APS' Functional Life Skills program as well as privacy and ease of accessibility: the gymnasium, courtyard, occupational physical therapy suite and sensory cottage are designed to aid in sensory processing.

“高地”教学楼的外墙采用白色釉面砖，将五层结构从视觉上统一起来，同时突出了以扇形扭转的教室层之间形成的斜角，强调了建筑所表达的雕塑感，以及内部的活动和能量。为了纪念周围的社区和曾经的威尔逊学校，建筑的用材也选择向亚历山德里亚老城（Old Town Alexandria）的历史建筑致敬。

The Heights'exterior is materialized in agraceful white glazed brick to unify the five volumes and highlight the oblique angles of the fanning classroom bars, allowing the sculptural form, the energyand the activity of the inside to take center stage. In keeping the surrounding neighborhood and former Wilson School in mind, the building's material palettepays homage to the historical architecture of Old Town Alexandria.
