作为世界顶级的研究生艺术学院，英国皇家艺术学院宣布启用一个新的学术大厦，它是这个机构花费了61万英镑进行总体规划的一部分。戴森大厦是由获奖建筑师Haworth Tompkins设计的，它是自从1962年英国皇家艺术学院搬迁到肯辛顿戈尔以来最有意义的新发展，并且戴森大厦成为了RCA的新巴特西校园的核心。

这个发展是沿着RCA的已经存在了的绘画和雕塑项目进行的。它将和“创意巴特西”连接在一起，并为它提供一种鼓励，目前，“创意巴特西”以Vivienne Westwood，Foster + Partners，Will Alsop和许多其他的总部引以为荣。它也包括版画和摄影项目，这个大厦里也容纳了一个具有220个座位的演讲厅，一个公众席和学院的商业孵化器。

从工业的角度看，这个大厦被认为是一个有创造性的“工厂”（作为一个地方的产业），并且它通过对安迪•沃霍尔工厂的参考，使这里会成为一个艺术产生的地方。一个大的中央“机器大厅”形成了这座大厦的中心，它被设计成可以容纳艺术家们使用的大型印刷机器的地方，在它的周围，学习空间，商业空间和画廊被安排在这里。

RCA的成功的一个关键特点是它和它的规划之间有着一种流动性的关系。

这个大厦已经被设计为创建学科之间的“横向漂移”，并且它的创造性的过程发生在彼此很高程度上可以看见接近的地方。互相交流想法的特点被呈现出来并被鼓励着进行下去，在这个过程中，这个特点也通过在主楼里增加RCA的创新性而有所增强，这便使学术和商业之间的边界变得模糊起来。RCA的创新性是提供业务支持和孵化服务来帮助学生和毕业生们成功地保护和开拓以设计为主导的商业化技术。

The Royal College of Art, the world’s leading post-graduate art College, have opened a new academic building as part of a ￡61 million masterplan for the institution. The Dyson building, designed by award-winning architects Haworth Tompkins, is the most significant new development to the Royal College of Art since it moved to Kensington Gore in 1962 and forms the centrepiece of the RCA’s new Battersea Campus.


The development sits alongside the RCA’s existing Painting and Sculpture Programmes on the site. It will connect with and provide a boost for ‘Creative Battersea’, which currently boasts the headquarters of Vivienne Westwood, Foster + Partners and Will Alsop, amongst many others. As well as containing the Printmaking and Photography programmes, the building is also home to a 220-seat lecture theatre, a public gallery and the College’s business incubator.


The building is conceived as a creative ‘factory’ both in the industrial sense (as a place of industry), and through the reference to Andy Warhol’s Factory as a place of art production. A large central ‘machine hall’ forms the heart of the building, designed to house the large printing machines used by artists, around which the learning, business and gallery spaces are arranged.


A key characteristic of the RCA’s success is the fluid relationship between programmes. The building has been designed to create “horizontal drift” between disciplines, and the creative processes take place in highly visible proximity to one another. The cross-fertilisation of ideas that is present and encouraged on the courses also is enhanced through the additional inclusion of InnovationRCA within the main building, blurring the boundary between the academic and the commercial. InnovationRCA provides business support and incubation services to help students and graduates protect and commercialise pioneering design-led technologies successfully.
