Metals杂志2018年的设计挑战赛是一场为立面系统提供创新思想的竞赛，它可以在提高员工健康和福利方面发挥重要作用。这个竞赛基于21世纪门面需要适应和响应人类需求的理念，特别是在工作场所。研究人员的探索将超越工作场所的美学观念，实现整体因素的通盘考虑，学习空气和水的质量、热控制，特别是户外环境的视野如何直接改善员工的所在环境。

这些发现不仅对劳动者而言是重要的，对于雇用他们的组织也是重要的。据发现，增加的福利可以提高生产力，并缩短从压力和精神疲劳恢复过来的时间。到2025年，75％的劳动人口将由00后组成，他们的工作风格和喜好比前几代人显著不同，其中包括对健康，有吸引力的工作环境的重视。由于这种心态渗透到工作场所文化的各个领域，组织必须准备提供优良的建筑设计功能和其他必要的设施，以吸引和保留最有雄心和技术精湛的工作人员。美国的劳工协会意识到，提高工人的生产力只需1％就可以享受很多这些设施。

本设计要求建筑师和工程师、学生和从业者通过考虑下一代建筑外表皮来解决这一现实问题。门面起什么作用？让员工既快乐又健康的制度发挥着什么作用？研究表明，在很大程度上，员工的幸福感是将建筑内的空间与外界世界连接起来的结果。Metals杂志2018年的设计挑战赛邀请您设想一个功能外表皮，探讨这种连接关系。

您的挑战：将最先进的幕墙系统概念化为一个假想的30层办公大楼，位于一个2.65英亩（115,244平方英尺）的海滨场地，拥有230500平方英尺的建筑面积，位于布鲁克林发展中心的心脏地带，肯特大道500号。

关于该场地信息（来源：Cushman＆Wakefield）：肯特大道500号位于南威廉斯堡，紧邻新兴的布鲁克林海军场和布鲁克林技术三角办事处市场。靠近东江渡轮和JMZ火车连接曼哈顿、布鲁克林和皇后区，布鲁克林皇后连接器（bqx）电车进一步有助于快速发展北布鲁克林地区的吸引力。

在M3-1分区区域，大约占地面积2.65英亩，包裹拥有230488平方英尺建筑面积的商业发展权。未来的项目也将受益于海滨与曼哈顿全景，距离肯特和Division Avenues临街面约648英尺。


具体设计指南

幕墙系统要围合一个建筑物，其主要结构为钢框架，立面包围了适用于技术中心租赁的几乎无柱的甲级办公空间。场地开发、室内布局和设施布局是必要的，以阐明功能，但作品的焦点在于建筑立面的概念。

提交的材料必须展示使用创新的设计元素，其中包含外观独特的功能，用于连接乘客与自然环境的视觉交流。它们还必须清楚地满足常规的防潮保护、热性能、声音衰减和防火安全要求。评估中将考虑使用寿命更长的耐用材料以及碳排放少的材料。然而，这个挑战的必要范围是通过立面设计提高员工满意度、参与度和生产率的目标。假设一个完全一般的结构系统是可以接受的，这样做不会影响对整体的判断。

The Metals in Construction magazine 2018 Design Challenge is a competition to generate ideas for a facade system that can play a major role in enhancing employee health and well-being. This ideas competition is based on the philosophy that the 21st century facade needs to be adaptive and responsive to human needs, especially in the workplace. With researchers probing beyond workplace aesthetics to examine holistic factors, we are learning that air and water quality, thermal control, and especially visual access to outdoor environments can directly improve employee well-being.
These findings are important not only to those in the workforce but also to the organizations employing them. Increased well-being has been found to boost productivity and shrink recovery time from stress and mental fatigue. By 2025, 75 percent of the working population will be made up of millennials, who exhibit notably different working styles and preferences than previous generations, among them the demand for a healthy, engaging work environment. With this mentality permeating all areas of workplace culture, organizations must be poised to offer WELL Building design features and other amenities essential to attract and retain the the most ambitious and tech-savvy workers. Enlightened organizations realize that increasing worker productivity by just 1 percent pays for a lot of these amenities.
This Design Brief asks architects and engineers, students and practitioners, to address this real-world concern by thinking about the next generation of building enclosures. What role does the facade system play in making workers both happier and healthier? Research shows that to a large extent employee well-being is a result of connecting the occupants of spaces within a building with the world outside. The Metals in Constructionmagazine 2018 Design Challenge invites you to imagine designing a functioning enclosure that explores this connection.
Your challenge: Conceptualize a state-of-the-art curtain wall system for a hypothetical 30-story office tower to be located on a 2.65-acre (115,244-square-foot) waterfront site, with 230,500 buildable square feet, at 500 Kent Avenue in the heart of Brooklyn’s developing tech hub.
About the site (source: Cushman & Wakefield): 500 Kent Avenue is situated in South Williamsburg immediately adjoining the emerging Brooklyn Navy Yard and Brooklyn Tech Triangle office markets. Close proximity to the East River Ferry and the J M Z trains connecting Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens as well anticipated arrival of the Brooklyn Queens Connector (BQX) streetcar further contribute to the attractiveness of this unique offering in rapidly evolving North Brooklyn neighborhood.
With an approximate footprint of 2.65 acres in an M3-1 zoning district, the parcel carries up to 230,488 buildable square feet of as-of right commercial development rights. The future project will also benefit from waterfront exposure with panoramic Manhattan views and a roughly 648 feet of frontage along Kent and Division Avenues.

Specific Design Guidelines
The curtain wall system is to enclose a building having a primary frame of structural steel depicted as a core and shell enclosing virtually column-free class A office space suitable for technology hub tenancy. Site development, interior layout, and amenities may be depicted as necessary to illustrate functionality, but the focus of the competition is on the concept for the building facade.
Submissions must demonstrate the use of innovative design elements that are incorporated to illustrate the facade’s unique functionality in connecting occupants withvisual access to natural environments. They must also clearly satisfy conventional moisture protection, thermal performance, sound attenuation, and fire safety requirements. The use of durable materials with longer lifetimes, and of materials produced with fewer carbon emissions, will be considered in the judging. However, the required scope of this challenge is the goal of enhancing employee contentment, engagement, and productivity through the facade design. It is acceptable to assume a completely generic structural system and doing so will not detract from an entry’s judging.

Eligibility
The Metals in Construction magazine 2018 Design Challenge is open to both students and professionals in the architecture and engineering disciplines. Employees of sponsors are not eligible. All entrants agree to be bound by the Official Rules. Each proposal is expected to fulfill the design criteria outlined in the Design Brief.
