雙面彎曲形式＋階梯式立面，與獨特的地形和交通相呼應

設計 05-02

蓋茨中心大大地擴展了學校的現有能力，提供了關鍵的研究空間、教室和演講空間、教師辦公室，並為學校的本科專業提供了一個新家。建築的中心是一個大型中庭，提供了與所有樓層的視覺和物理聯繫，並作為學校的文化中心。

在這個以科技為中心的環境中，日光中庭是一個重要的社會孵化器，促進學生之間的聯繫，鼓勵團隊之間的互動，反映了院系創新和跨學科合作的文化。

Text description provided by the architects. The Gates Center greatly expands the current capacity of the school, providing critical research spaces, classrooms and lecture spaces, faculty offices, and a new home to the School』s undergraduate majors. At the heart of the building is a large central atrium that provides visual and physical connections to all floors, and acts as the school』s cultural hub. This daylight atrium is an important social incubator in this technology-centered environment, fostering connections between students, encouraging interaction among teams, and reflecting the department』s culture of innovation and collaboration across disciplines.

屋頂活動中心將支持廣泛的教育需求，行業合作和外展功能，並提供標誌性的體驗，享有校園，華盛頓湖和喀斯喀特山脈的全景。

在由工程建築環繞的密集校園區內，擴建場地與Stevens路的現有設施相互作用 - 這是一個由汽車，公共汽車，行人和自行車共享的主要校園走廊 - 需要採用整體方法將校園流通整合到兩棟建築項目中。

穿過陡坡的行人環路，Stevens路以及兩條輔路，在接近伯克-吉爾曼步道時，形成了校園中心的Drumheller噴泉和東校區體育設施之間的臨界軸向連接。

A roof-level event center will support a wide range of educational needs, industry collaborations, and outreach functions, and provides a signature experience with its sweeping views over the campus, Lake Washington and the Cascade Mountains beyond. In a dense campus precinct surrounded by engineering buildings, the expansion site interacts with the existing facility across Stevens Way—a major campus corridor shared by cars, buses, pedestrians, and bicycles—requiring a holistic approach to integrating campus circulation into the two-building program. A pedestrian circulation path through the steeply sloped, forested site crosses Stevens Way as well as two service roads as it approaches the Burke-Gilman Trail, forming a critical axial connection between Drumheller Fountain at the center of campus and the athletic facilities on the East Campus.

通常與技術領域相關的最小的裸露空間，華盛頓大學計算機科學與工程大樓為學生，研究人員和教師提供了一個溫暖，友好和方便的環境。擴建大樓採用了雙面彎曲形式，與校園獨特的地形和交通流相呼應。

由四種肌理類型的赤土板組成的豐富細節的建築立面系統，與明快，現代的黑色玻璃和金屬並置，提供遮陽的同時，也框架了項目內部的混合性質。

Departing from the minimal, bare spaces typically associated with the technology sector, the UW Computer Science and Engineering buildings offer a warm, welcoming, and accessible environment for students, researchers, and faculty. The expansion building features a two-sided curving form that responds to the unique topography and flow of campus circulation. A richly detailed building facade system of terra cotta panels in four texture types juxtaposes against crisp, modern black glass and metal, providing sun shading while framing the intermixed nature of the program within.

該建築旨在豐富其周邊地區，並促進與更廣泛的校園社區的聯繫。咖啡館激活了Stevens路的主入口，從外部景觀過渡到天空照亮的中央中庭，通過視覺和流通連接到所有樓層和程序功能。

共享廣場通過一系列階梯式立面，在建筑北側的多個位置提供建築入口，與中庭的開放循環保持多孔性，同時完全重建現有的人行道，使其自然邊緣由巨石和茂密的植被界定。

The building is designed to enrich its surrounding district and foster a connection to the broader campus community. A cafe activates the primary entry at Stevens Way, transitioning between the exterior landscape to the sky lit central atrium with visual and circulation connections to all floors and program functions. The shared plaza continues through a series of stepped elevations offering building entries at multiple locations along the north side of the building, remaining porous with the open circulation of the atrium while fully remaking the existing pedestrian path with natural edges defined by boulders and lush vegetation.
