Baumschlager Eberle Architekten：本项目（Maison du Savoir ）是为“科学之城”创造一个中心，作为未来的象征和对过去的提醒。这里是卢森堡大学新校区的焦点，由Baumschlager Eberle Architekten设计，并与Christian Bauer & Associés 联合建设，将其打造为一个从几英里外便可看到的醒目地标。

Baumschlager Eberle Architekten：The brief here was to create a centrepiece for the “Cité des Sciences”. Both symbol of the future and reminder of the past, the Maison du Savoir was conceived by Baumschlager Eberle Architekten as the focal point of the new University of Luxembourg campus and constructed in association with Christian Bauer & Associés as a striking landmark, visible from miles around.

项目坐落在卢森堡贝尔瓦尔区（Belval district of Esch-sur-Alzette）的一个钢铁厂旧址，建筑由垂直的矩形和悬浮的水平横条构成，并注入了大量该地区的历史文脉，象征着其从钢铁生产向现代学术之都的转变。Maison du Savoir 通过各种方式尝试弥合这块67英亩的钢铁基地在过去与现在之间产生的差距，例如这座高达85米，有18层楼高的塔楼与旧高炉的比例是相互呼应的。

Located on the site of a former steel plant in the Belval district of Esch-sur-Alzette, the building comprises a vertical rectangle and a floating horizontal bar and makes numerous references to the history of the area, symbolising the site’s transformation from steel production to modern seat of learning. In various ways, the Maison du Savoir seeks to bridge the gap between a past in which steel was produced on the 67-acre Terrasse des Hauts-Fourneaux site and the present. Rising 85 metres and 18 storeys above the ground, the tower, for example, echoes the proportions of the old blast furnaces.

预应力混凝土结构产生出漂浮感，这些结构从建筑的第二层向上突出。在城市发展方面，Maison du Savoir从南北向将Place du Saint-Esprit与图书馆和其他大学建筑中待开发的空置空间相连，从而在不牺牲其独立地位或雕塑特征的前提下建立起更大的城市环境。立面的双层结构包括构成建筑气候屏障的内层和包裹在钢质蜂窝结构中的外层，可以调节立面的通透度和透光量。

The impression of floating is created by the pre-stressed concrete structures that project out from the second floor of the building upwards. In urban development terms, the Maison du Savoir connects the Place du Saint-Esprit to the north with the empty spaces awaiting development of the library and other university buildings to the south, thus establishing a larger urban environment without sacrificing either its stand-alone status or its sculptural character. The double-shelled construction chosen for the facade comprises an inner layer that forms the building’s climatic barrier and an outer layer that envelopes it in a steel honeycomb structure, regulating its transparency and so the amount of light admitted.

由于Maison du Savoir只有大型讲演厅配备了定制的通风系统，而立面的双层结构则为其余没有机械通风或冷却系统的地方带来了好处，使空间中的用户依然能拥有良好的舒适感。建筑内部的空间划分支持多种潜在功能的使用，其50,000m²的空间容纳了多个讲演厅、会议厅、职工办公室、行政办公室以及餐饮服务处。

The Maison du Savoir is thus able to provide premium user comfort without mechanical ventilation or cooling – only the large lecture theatres being fitted with bespoke ventilation systems. The space allocation inside the building allows for a variety of potential uses and its 50,000m² house several lecture theatres and conference halls as well as staff and administrative offices and catering facilities.
