MVRDV中选作为德国基尔一个6.5万平方米混合用途综合体的建筑师，该项目旨在重新开发当地的一个后工业基地，方案将包含酒店、办公、住宅、商业空间和会务空间等多种功能。相较于固定不变的方案，此次MVRDV将采用灵活的设计体系。在设计开发进程中，该方案能与社区的需求和愿景协同发展。

MVRDV has been selected as the designer of a 65,000-square-metre mixed-use complex that will redevelop a post-industrial site in Kiel, Germany. The proposal, which includes a hotel, offices, residences, commercial space, and an event space, makes use of a flexible design system, rather than a fixed and unchangeable plan, allowing the design to adapt easily to the needs and desires of the community as the design development progresses.

这个被称为“KoolKiel”的项目，位于德国基尔峡湾最南端附近的一个旧工业区。目前这里有一幢大型的单层建筑物，最初被用作存放船舶链条；近年来，它因与德国著名的“沃纳漫画” (Werner comics)之间的联系而更加引人注目。 上世纪80年代初，“沃纳漫画”就是在这栋楼里被印刷成册的。如今，该建筑被称为“W8 媒体中心”，有多家（但不限于）从事媒体和创意产业的公司在这里办公。这些公司为该地区赋予独特而极具魅力的形象，这对MVRDV后续的设计产生了强烈的影响。

Dubbed “KoolKiel”, the proposal is located in a formerly industrial area in Kiel, near the southernmost tip of the Kiel Fjord. Currently it is occupied by a large, single-storey building, which was originally used for storing chains for ships; however, in more recent times this location has become more notable for its connection to Germany’s famous Werner comics, which were printed in the building from the early 1980s. The building is now known as W8 Medienzentrum, and is home to a variety of companies working mostly (but not exclusively) in media and the creative industries. This collection of tenants has given the area a unique and charismatic identity, which strongly influenced MVRDV’s subsequent design.

在MVRDV的方案中，W8媒体中心现有的结构将被保留并用于商业用途，其顶部还将加盖公寓。媒体中心旁，是一个具有折线形裙楼的建筑，裙楼包含办公和购物；裙楼上方的几个立方形体块将承担住宅功能，塔楼则将作为办公空间。场地的一端，包含250间客房的酒店大楼通过公共活动空间与上述裙楼相连，这个公共活动空间今后将用于举办社区组织的展览和活动。

The proposal calls to retain the existing structure of the W8 Medienzentrum as commercial units, topping it with apartments. Next to this, a new building is proposed with a zig-zagging plinth containing offices and shops, topped by several cubic blocks of housing, and a tower of office spaces. At the end of the site, a 250-room hotel tower connects to the aforementioned plinth through a public event space, which will be used to host exhibitions and events organised by the community.

活泼的外部空间是该项目的关键：建筑之间的庭院充满了各种可供居民使用的公共设施，蜿蜒的屋顶花园分布在三个立方体住宅体块之间。由纤维增强混凝土制成的立面面板是该项目最引人注目的元素，它被置于窗前，向人们展示各种汇集当地居民创意的图像标志。

Lively exterior spaces are key to the project: a courtyard between the buildings filled with a variety of street furniture for the residents to occupy, while a rooftop park snakes its way around the three cubic blocks of housing. The project’s most eye-catching element is the façade panels, made from fibre reinforced concrete, which sit in front of the window and display a variety of icons inspired by the creative output of the locals.

通过这种方式，社区可以更多的参与到设计之中。设计不再是一个固定的概念，而成为一个灵活的系统。最终建成的建筑可能会落在提供的一系列选择中，从保守的盒子到古怪但充满魅力的悬臂和图像集合。这种灵活的设计系统可提供的选择包括改变酒店塔楼悬臂的规模和数量，改变建筑物图形面板覆盖的范围，以及改变W8大楼顶部加盖公寓的大小、数量和布局。

However, within this arrangement, the design proposal includes many opportunities for community input. By considering the design not as a fixed concept but as a flexible system, the building as it is eventually constructed might fall anywhere on a spectrum of options, from a conservative series of boxes to a wacky yet charismatic collection of cantilevers and iconography. This flexible design system includes options to change the size and number of cantilevers on the hotel tower, to change how much of the building is covered by pictographic panels, and to alter the size, number, and layout of apartments placed above the existing W8 building.

“这里是一个充满活力和创意的社区，因此社区明显应该在开发中拥有发言权。”MVRDV联合创始人兼主创建筑师Jacob van Rijs说：“该社区不仅启发了KoolKiel的设计，而且还能够影响设计——我们不仅为社区提供了一个方案，还向他们抛出了一个问题 ‘你想变得有多酷?’”

“In a location with such a dynamic and creative existing community, it’s obvious that the community should have a say in this development,” said Jacob van Rijs, principal and cofounder of MVRDV. “KoolKiel is not only inspired by them, but it also allows them to influence the proposal—we’re presenting them with not just a design, but also a question: ‘how ‘Kool’ do you want it?’”
