Shoreditch office by Waugh Thistleton will show off innovative timber structure

建筑事务所Waugh Thistleton公布了位于伦敦新兴文艺区索迪治的木结构办公大楼设计方案，大楼外观看似几条垂直切片，体现了建筑本身先进的结构体系。

九层高的索迪治办公楼有望取代现有的伦纳德广场旁的开发大楼，成为伦敦最高的木结构建筑。

建筑为全木结构，由两种实木建造而成：一种是集成木材，称作胶合板，另一种是直交层积材，通常被称作CLT。

该项目采用了最新型的木材料，被建筑师称作“新型的混凝土”。

建筑师Alex de Rijke在去年曾对Dezeen表示：“CLT是新型建筑材料，将会在未来广泛采用。” Waugh Thistleton负责人Andrew Waugh也表示：“木材料的时代即将开始。”

Architecture firm Waugh Thistleton has unveiled plans to build a timber-framed office block in London's Shoreditch that will reveal its state-of-the-art structure through a series of vertical slices.
Proposed to replace the existing Development House complex at Leonard Circus, the new nine-storey office building will be among the tallest modern timber-framed buildings in the British capital.
It will boast an all-timber structure that brings together two types of engineered wood: glued laminated timber, known as glulam, and cross-laminated timber, often referred to as CLT.
The project is the latest example of timber's resurgence as a building material, which architects are calling "the new concrete".
"CLT is the future of construction," architect Alex de Rijke of dRMM told Dezeen last year, while Waugh Thistleton director Andrew Waugh said: "This is the beginning of the timber age."

Waugh Thistleton计划将办公楼的木结构体系划分为5段扇形结构，彼此之间设置了大型玻璃墙，街道上的行人能够透过大型窗户清晰的观察到建筑各个楼层。

Waugh解释道：“木结构建筑具有一系列优势，工期短、噪声干扰小，建筑垃圾较少，这意味着能够减少对毗邻街区、行人和周边社区的产生干扰。

胶合板是多种混合木材经过压条法并用涂胶使之结合在一起的人造建筑材料，CLT的制作也使用类似的方法，采用木方正交叠放胶合成实木板材，二者的强度都远远大于普通木材。

基于这一点，Waugh Thistleton已经在很多项目上都采用了胶合板和CLT。

Waugh Thistleton总部设于伦敦，事务所建造了英国第一幢CLT建筑和曾打破记录的默里格罗夫住宅楼。

Waugh Thistleton plans to reveal the new building's wooden structure by dividing the building up into five quadrants and adding large sections of glazing in between. Passersby will clearly see the timber floor plates through these huge windows.
"Building in timber offers a number of advantages, including minimised time on site, and associated sound and waste disturbance," explained Waugh. "This translates to less impact on adjacent occupiers, street users and surrounding community.
Glulam is manufactured by layering up multiple slices of wood and gluing them together. CLT is produced in a similar way, but involves arranging the layers at right angles. But both are significantly stronger than regular wood.
Because of this, Waugh Thistleton has already used both of them on numerous projects. The London-based firm was behind the UK's first CLT building and the record-breaking Murray Grove residential block.

这幢8000平方米的新建筑围绕着中央核心位置进行空间组织，首层设置了大型门厅。室内空间布局灵活，可以单独租赁，也可以数家公司合租。

除了通风和采光，玻璃周边的开口也用作花园露台。

地产开发商Ethical Property的负责人 Conrad Peberdy表示：“这是一个非常激动人心的方案，在索迪治区这一关键位置创造了一个真正的标志性建筑。”

The new 8,000-square-metre Development House will be organised around a central core, with a large foyer at ground level. It is designed to offer flexible tenancy, so could be occupied by either one or several companies.
As well as offering light and ventilation, the glazed perimeter openings will provide various floors with garden terraces.
"This is a really exciting scheme that can transform one of the key development sites in Shoreditch by creating a truly iconic building," said Conrad Peberdy, director for property developer Ethical Property.

近期伦敦新建的木结构建筑项目还包括同位于索迪治的33层高公寓楼，和艺术家Richard Woods的住宅。

在其他城市，也有木质高层的建筑项目，包括位于美国西海岸的一幢建筑，斯德哥尔摩也有数项目正在审批之中。

Other new London buildings to exploit timber include a 33-metre-high apartment block, also in Shoreditch, and a house for artist Richard Woods.
Elsewhere, it is being proposed for high-rise towers, including one on the USA's west coast and several underway in Stockholm.
