作为充满活力的战略和创意中心，弗吉尼亚理工大学创意和创新区成为了“那些能够创造‘明天’的创新者、发明家和创造者们的游乐场”。项目的核心旨在创造出一个充满活力的生活与学习社区，以横跨30,000平方英尺（约2787.1平方米）的跨学科空间，将学生，教师和社区企业家聚集在一起，促进各科学之间的合作并重新定义创意的边界。

Serving as a vibrant hub for strategic and creative collisions, the Virginia Tech Creativity and Innovation District is a ‘playground for the innovators, inventors, and makers who will build the world of tomorrow.’ At its core lies a dynamic living/learning community spanning 30,000 square feet of interdisciplinary space, where students, faculty, and community entrepreneurs converge to collaborate and redefine boundaries.

通过激发创新，并帮助创意者们实现“从概念到商业化”的流程，本项目为学生们描绘出了广阔的蓝图，使学生能够在毕业后继续扩大他们的影响力，并帮助学生融入社区。“桥梁空间”作为项目的重要组成部分，旨在促进公司、学生、教师和学者之间的密切合作。这些空间起到了孵化器的作用，旨在培育创意，并将这些创意发展成为可行的商业计划。

By igniting innovation and facilitating the journey from concept to commercialization, the project offers a blueprint that empowers students to extend their impact well beyond graduation and into their communities. The inclusion of “bridge spaces” becomes a vital component, fostering close collaboration among companies, students, faculty, and scholars. These spaces serve as incubators, nurturing ideas and guiding their evolution into viable businesses.

本项目为校园引入了一种全新的设计语言，以高度透明的建筑改变了弗吉尼亚理工大学的传统住宅环境。通透的中央空间如同建筑的脊柱一般，与底部楼层一起，为整栋建筑引入了自然光线，同时向周边更广范围内的校园社区展示出学生们的创造力和创新精神。这一设计元素不仅丰富了大学社区的日常生活，还为校园提供了新的景观和难忘的时刻，进而丰富了学生在校园中体验。

The project introduces a new language of transparency, transforming the traditional residential setting at Virginia Tech. A central and transparent spine and ground floor infuse the community with natural light, while showcasing creativity and innovation to the broader campus community. This design element not only enhances the daily life of the collegiate community but also provides new vistas and memorable moments that enrich the overall campus experience.

建筑形式以石材建造的山墙结构为特征，体量之间通过玻璃中庭连接，进而使建筑与校园和周围社区建立起视觉的联系。每种建筑形式都为学生们创造出舒适、富有归属感的“家”，设计向传统的校园建筑致敬的同时，也构成了新的庭院和户外学习空间，进而补充了校园现有的建筑语言。

The architectural forms, characterized by gabled stone structures connected by glass connectors, establish visual connections with the campus and surrounding community. Each form serves as a home for students, paying homage to traditional campus architecture while inspiring new quadrangles and outdoor learning spaces that complement the campus’s existing design language.

创意和创新的展示 CREATIVITY & INNOVATION ON DISPLAY

为了这座大型的“创意游乐场”中促进学生们的团结精神，设计试图将这种能量转化为学生们的住宅体验。社区联系在这种理念中起着至关重要的作用，橙色楼梯作为空间和象征性的联系，跨越了建筑内部的楼层界限和边界。相互交织的楼梯策划了社区的故事，将建筑内不同的层次结构联系在一起，进而实现了从个人反思、到学习协作，再到创意创新的探索。橙色代表着能量、兴奋，以及与大学标志性色彩的联系，进而为本项目赋予了高知名度和强烈的认同感。

To capture the spirit of unity found on the playing field, the project seeks to translate that energy into the engaged residential experience. Community connections play a vital role, with the orange stair serving as a physical and symbolic link that transcends levels and boundaries within the building. It weaves its way through the structure, curating the community’s story and connecting a hierarchy of engagement opportunities, from personal reflection and study to collaborative creative and innovation explorations. The use of the color orange represents energy, excitement, and its connection to the university brand, ensuring high visibility and a strong sense of identity.
