我们首先注意到的是在3500名员工中的平均年龄只有25到26岁,而CEO仅仅只有35岁。
The first thing we noticed is that the average age among the 3500 employees is about 25 to 26 years old and the CEO is about 35 years old.
这些年轻人每天工作12到16个小时或者说至少每天在办公室待这么多小时,这就不难理解为什么大多数的人在这座城市中没有家庭了。公司提供午餐以及晚餐,而且这里的环境要远远好于他们合租的那些被他们称为“家”的房子。These young staff members work around 12 to 16 hours a day or at least stay in their office for that many hours, which is understandable as most of them do not have their family in the city. The company provides lunch and dinner and the office is much more comfortable than the shared room they call home.
考虑到这些,我们设计一开始的理念就是想要去创造一个自由而且流动的空间,在这些空间中充满了社交活动以及非常人性化的让阳光照射到每个人的身旁。建筑的平面有着不规则的形状,这种无定型的中央核心要比传统的排列复杂的多。
Considering this, our design concept started with the idea of creating a free and fluid space, rich in events and very democratic in terms of the views and sunshine being evenly distributed.
The existing building plan had an irregular shape with an amorphous central core that makes any traditional arrangement more difficult.
