来自建筑事务所的描述：系统生物学研究中心高级研究所（IAS）是一座附属建筑，它与现有的三层Bloomberg Hall无缝整合。建筑减少了走廊面积，主要用作教师、访问学者和管理人员的办公室，以及正式和非正式的会议空间。设计方案的较低楼层主要是高级研究所的计算机中心。

Text description provided by the architects. The new home for the Simons Center for Systems Biology at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS), designed as an addition, seamlessly integrates with the existing three-storey Bloomberg Hall. Configured to eliminate corridors, the building has offices for faculty members, visiting scholars, and administrative staff as well as formal and informal meetings spaces.  The programmatically distinct lower floor contains the campus wide IAS computer center.







Simons中心的大部分房间环绕着中央通高空间，大堂、图书馆和楼梯间的组合强调了建筑中跨学科的研究主题。会议空间位于核心周围，通过采光和景观来吸引人群。大型露台面向全新的庭院，庭院中有着艺术家Richard Long的雕塑，同时形成具有私密性但却阳光充足的户外会议区。

The majority of rooms in the Simons Center surround a double height space. The combined lobby, library and stair hall encourages the kind of interactions crucial to the interdisciplinary mission of the Center. Meeting spaces strategically located around this core draw occupants towards daylight and landscape views. A large terrace overlooks a new courtyard featuring a sculpture by artist Richard Long, and creates a protected, intimate and sunlit outdoor meeting area.





Simons中心结合了许多可持续设计特点和策略，从而减少整体的环境影响,包括普林斯顿镇首个具有雨水管理功能的绿色屋顶，其中没有添加新的雨水结构或蓄水池，另外，所有室内建筑材料均选用低挥发性或无挥发性有机化合物，还结合了创新的机械系统，通过重新利用废热来优化能源，以及可用于照明、温度和新鲜空气的传感器。

The Simons Center incorporates many sustainable design features and strategies to reduce the overall environmental impact. These include: the first green roof in Princeton Township providing storm water management without adding new storm water structures or retention ponds; all interior building materials selected for low or no volatile organic compounds; an innovative mechanical system developed to optimize energy use by re-using waste heat from the computing center; occupancy sensors for lighting, temperature, and fresh air levels.



Simons中心重新诠释了原有建筑的比例和细节，并利用倾斜的场地形成连接至Bloomberg Hall的庭院。

The Simons Center reinterprets the proportions and details of the original IAS pavilions, and takes advantage of its sloped site to create a courtyard connection to the existing Bloomberg Hall.



该综合体建筑群的核心是位于主街大厅外的大型剧院，其位于Regent街道的一侧容纳有后台等其他辅助空间。这使得高大的大堂空间面向街道，形成活跃的城市氛围。特定的公共艺术作品让空间充满活力。剧院外立面由暖色调的面板、金色色调的穿孔金属以及使空间闪闪发光的光点组成，其本身的布置让人联想起犹他州的梯田景观。内部天花板看起来如同夜空，微妙的星形灯光似乎悬浮在黑暗中，声学材料覆盖着舞台灯光系统和上部机械设备。

At the heart of the complex is the large proscenium theater residing off the main street lobby, which allows for accommodation of the backstage and other support spaces off Regent Street. This makes the tall lobby space highly visible to the street, creating an active urban presence. Site specific public artwork helps to energize the space. The theater itself recalls the terraced Utah landscape, a composition of warm colored panels, gold-toned perforated metal, and points of light that make the space sparkle. The ceiling looks like the night sky with tiny, star-like lights seemingly suspended in dark, acoustic material that conceals the banks of stage lighting and mechanical equipment above.
