这是由LOVE architecture and urbanism设计的柏林50Hertz总部。18家建筑公司参加了该项目的非公开国际竞赛，初步选出了LOVE architecture and urbanism以及丹麦公司Henning Larsen Architects两个入围团队，而最后是LOVE的

设计方案

入选。该方案旨在表达创造出一个由内到外全新透明并且开放的公司总部。多个室外阶梯和开放露台始终贯穿于整个建筑宽敞的室外空间，创建了灵活、多功能、独一无二的工作环境。网格状的外部立面上、富有层次感的平行楼层及其内部竖向的黄色核心区域和楼梯，它们共同营造出了一幢具有思想和深度的建筑。

From the architect. Eighteen architectural firms participated in the international non-open competition for the new 50Hertz Netzquartier in Berlin. The initial phase yielded two finalists, LOVE architecture and urbanism and the Danish firm Henning Larsen Architects, with the LOVE design ultimately prevailing. The other competitors included NO.MAD Arquitectos (Madrid), Sauerbruch Hutton (Berlin), HadiTeherani Architects (Hamburg), Kleihues + Kleihues (Berlin), Müller Reimann (Berlin).

The site is noteworthy due to its prominent location in Berlin’s inner city. It is adjacent to the Museum of Contemporary  Art and the “Am Hamburger Bahnhof” cultural zone. The site is also within close proximity to the main train station and the parliament and government district with the Federal Chancellery, the German Bundestag, and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

The structurally sound exterior construction, which consists of white concrete composite columns (Dia-Grid), allows for column-free interior spaces alongside the façade, which enable a flexible utilization of interior space. The framework structure creates a network of evenly arranged diagonal struts, which abstractly symbolizes the company’s purpose (50Hertz is a network operator) while also visually referencing the rail area, with its steel bridges and viaducts, around the area of the Hamburg and Lehrter train station.

Individual struts were removed from the even diagonal structure. The only prerequisite for this was that an easily manageable free span of approx. 8.3 m in the cantilever area could not be exceeded. This playful approach resulted in a geometrically complex interwoven exterior, a framework structure made of compression and tensile struts. The orange cores, which house the elevators, stairways, shafts, utility rooms and restrooms, draw the viewer’s gaze through the exterior network deep into the depths of the building. Two of the three cores are slightly tilted. Since the Reserve Control Center (RCC) is also part of the new company headquarters, a particularly sophisticated safety concept guided the planning and implementation stages.

The design creates rooms that accommodate the company’s desire to adapt its corporate culture towards more open, flexible, team-oriented work. The integration of outdoor workspaces into the deep building structure supports various utilization concepts, each of which offers a different workflow, workspace quality and atmosphere. Each layout features a unique blend of concentration areas, informal communication zones and garden zones (outdoor workspaces). During the planning stages, each department was able to tailor their work environment to their specific needs. No two floors in the building are alike – many different working worlds were created, each with its own special features.At night, individual strut segments of the exterior supporting structure are illuminated, which creates dynamic lines that evoke sine curves. This transforms the net structure into a linear structure at night, radically altering the building’s appearance.  The 50Hertz Netzquartier received the world’s first “DGNB Diamant” award.
