或许，有人会发出这样的质疑声：为何如同上海这样一座于20世纪90年代才开始大规模推行城市化，并正在上演着剧烈变迁的城市，已经需要思索它的“再生”。然而，这正是万千城市用以审视自身缺陷，纠正错误，并重塑自我的工具。不仅于此，随着城市的生长，它就像任何生命体一样，必然发生变化，且永不停歇。AIM的项目通常始于室内设计，此次也毫不例外。在前社 Nexxus大楼内，我们塑造了一个具有共享功能的多样化办公环境，以及可以为其提供便利服务的底层商业空间。

Some may question why a city like Shanghai – which only began its large-scale urbanization in the 1990s and is still undergoing rapid growth – needs to be concerned about regeneration. But it is the tool that cities use to challenge their deficiencies, correct their missteps, and remake themselves. Beyond this, as any city grows, its needs to – like any living thing – necessarily change. It is a constant process. AIM’s projects usually start from within, also here, where we created a hybrid work landscape with shared functions and a commercial ground floor that adds amenities to work landscape.

然而完成后不久，业主很快将焦点转移至室外。如何让建筑更好地与周边环境互动？它是否能跳脱出千篇一律的城市景观？建筑的外立面又如何衬托出室内环境，而不只是一副华丽的躯壳？

But in this case, very quickly the focus moves to the outside. How should this building interact with its surroundings? Can this building stand out in a sea of sameness? And can the façade contribute to its interior environment so it’s not just a cosmetic intervention?

于是，我们从大楼一侧繁忙街道的律动中获得启发，让建筑外立面跟随路人视线的转移呈现出不同的姿态。当你途经此处，锯齿形立面所营造的建筑画面会因玻璃色彩和透明度的差异而发生变化。北向观之，建筑“外衣”近乎透明，坐在向南行驶车辆中的观者，会看到它又缓缓闭合起来，逐渐显露出金属铜色印刷玻璃的模样。反之亦然。

Located on a fast pace busy road we wanted to make use of this movement by making a façade that changes depending on what side you are approaching it from. A zigzag façade with different glass colors and different transparencies changes the image of the building when you pass by. Approached from the north, the building is very transparent, and while you drive past, the façade starts to ‘close’ as you see the metallic copper printed glass more or vice versa.

在给建筑添加第二层“皮肤”的过程中，我们也为其中的一些租户优化了室内设计。它不仅极大地缓解了道路噪音的影响，锯齿形立面造型的运用还有效阻挡了南侧太阳辐射的热量，同时让北侧的视野清晰透亮。

Adding a second skin to the building, allowed us to renovate with some of the existing tenants in. It greatly reduces the roads noise impact, and with the zigzag-shaped façade, we can reduce sun impact and heat gain from the south, while offering clear views towards the north.

值得一提的是，我们还在玻璃与树木的投影互动中觅见了诸多乐趣。颇具上海特色的“法国梧桐”树叶摇身成为了南侧外立面的装饰物，在树荫、玻璃与天空之间勾绘出一派盎然的景象。最终，所有的一切都聚焦在斑斓多姿的外立面中，因你而改变。

A bonus is the play of glass and trees through reflection. We printed the typical Shanghai platane leaves on the south-facing glass, creating a blend of trees, glass and sky multiplied through this faceted façade. All coming together as a façade that moves as you move.
