BIG建筑事务所最近公布了其在厄瓜多尔首都的第二个项目，一座多功能塔，由两个弯曲的体块组成，体块表面是人字形图案的覆盖层和绿色的植物。

今天透露，BIG的多功能塔EPIQ是与Quito的Uribe&Schwarzkopf合作开发的。这是BIG事务所在继去年的IQQN塔之后，在该市的第二个项目，目前正在建设中。

Architecture firm BIG has unveiled its second project for Ecuador's capital city: a mixed-use tower comprising two curved blocks covered in  herringbone-patterned cladding and pockets of greenery.
Revealed today, BIG's mixed-used EPIQ tower was developed in collaboration with Quito's Uribe & Schwarzkopf. It marks BIG's second project in the city after the IQON tower, which was revealed last year and is currently under construction.



这座24层的EPIQ塔被称为“垂直城市”，将在该市Parque La Carolina社区提供住宅、商业和办公空间。它的设计借鉴了附近地区旧城的细节，该城是联合国教科文组织认定的世界遗产。

“Quito历史中心的红色人字人行道是一个形式，几何学，排版和色彩轰炸，” BIG创始人Bjarke Ingels说。

Described as a "vertical city",  the 24-storey EPIQ will provide residential, commercial, and office space on a plot in the city's Parque La Carolina neighbourhood. Its design draws on details found in nearby area Old City – a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
"The historical centre of Quito with its red herringbone sidewalks is a bombardment of forms, geometry, typography and colour," said BIG founder Bjarke Ingels.



EPIQ由两个覆盖着粉红色瓷砖的互锁建筑组成。这种粉色三文鱼色调，可以追溯到16世纪古老城市的建筑。不同色调的瓷砖将覆盖破碎状建筑的不同部分。

EPIQ comprises two interlocking structures covered in pinkish tiles, as a reference to the hues of the Old City's salmon pink buildings that date back to the 16th century. Tiles in varying tones will cover different portions of the fragmented building.





“作为建筑师，我们常常有点害怕与颜色打交道。在Quito，我们认为用彩色突出不同的体块，并赋予每个体量各自的红色阴影可能很有趣，”Ingels说。

大型绿色植物将打破塔的形式，作为面积约65.5英亩（26.5公顷）的公园，并作为居民进入户外空间的入口。

"As architects, we are often a little afraid to play with colour – in Quito we thought it could be interesting to use colour to accentuate the different building blocks and give each volume its own shade of red," said Ingels.
Large green pockets will break up the form of the tower, as a reference the 65.5-acre (26.5-hectare) landscaped park it faces, and provide residents with access to outdoor space.



“在La Carolina公园的南端，我们的目标是创建一个三维社区：一个由不同大小的建筑群组成的整体，为人提供，充满阳光的入口、道路、公园以及娱乐、社交生活、工作和娱乐场所，”Ingels补充道。

"At the south tip of La Carolina park, our aim is to create a three dimensional community: a constellation of building volumes of different sizes that form a holistic whole offering the residents and their families a variety of sun-filled openings, passages, parks and pockets for play, social life, work and enjoyment," Ingels added.





弯曲的表皮上覆盖了有棱角的窗户，可以接受到充足的自然光以及看到建筑物几乎每个部分的景色。

效果图显示，住宅将有一个开放的平面布局和简单的装饰，装饰材料包括白色和木质材料。

除了私人阳台，每个居民都可以进入分散在塔楼上的大型公共室外空间。

Angular windows cover much of the curved exterior to provide ample natural light, as well as vistas from almost every part of the building.
Renderings show that the residences will have an open-plan layout and simple decor, including a mix of either white or wood surface.
Alongside private balconies, each resident will have access to larger, communal outdoor spaces scattered across the tower.









建筑还配有其它设施，如室外游泳池、电影院、壁球场、保龄球馆、商务室、聚会区、音乐室、水疗中心、健身房和儿童游戏区。

BIG和Uribe & Schwarzkopf打算将EPIQ设计成可持续建筑。目前的提案包括一个雨水处理处和一个用于建筑材料的再利用材料库。

There are also a host of other amenities, such as an outdoor swimming pool, a cinema, squash court, bowling alley, business room, party areas, a music room, spa, gym, and children's play area.
BIG and Uribe & Schwarzkopf also intend for EPIQ to include a host of sustainable design features. A greywater treatment plant that will reuse rainwater and a materials bank to reuse and recycle construction materials are among the current proposals.



计划于2022年竣工，EPIQ将在La Carolina公园的西南角兴建，靠近该市即将开通的第一条地下线路的主要地铁站。

这是该市最近宣布的一系列新项目之一，其中包括BIG公司的IQON摩天大楼，该大楼将于2021年竣工，成为该市最高的建筑。Moshe Safdie的公司还为城市Qorne设计了一座带有葱郁露台的高层建筑。

Slated for completion in 2022, EPIQ will rise on the southwest corner La Carolina park, near to a major metro station in the city's soon-to-open first underground line.
It forms part of a swell of new projects recently announced for the city, including BIG's IQON skyscraper, which is set to become the city's tallest building when completed in 2021. Moshe Safdie's firm has also designed a tall building with lush terraces for the city called Qorner.



“自从上世纪70年代我们成立Uribe & Schwarzkopf以来，Quito的发展和变化非常巨大。近年来，为适应城市的新角色，我们必须对住宅建筑进行改变，这一实验建筑保持了对自然和社区的尊重，与这里的生活融为一体，但也适应了新的城市特点。” Uribe & Schwarzkopf的创始人Tommy Schwarzkopf说。

"Quito has grown and changed enormously since we founded Uribe & Schwarzkopf in the 1970s, and it became clear in recent years that we needed to experiment with residential architecture to respond to the new character of the city – which retains the respect for nature and community integral to life here, but embraces a new urbanism," said Uribe & Schwarzkopf founder Tommy Schwarzkopf.



总的来说，随着全国各地新项目的涌现，厄瓜多尔正在经历一场转型。新项目在全国各地涌现，其中许多是住宅，包括Gabriel Rivera Arquitectos的混凝土平顶住宅，Rama Estudio的夯土墙乡村别墅，Felipe Assadi Arquitectos的锯齿状砖屋顶住宅，以及Emilio López海岸附近的蝴蝶结式住所。

Ecuador, in general, is undergoing a transformation as new projects crop up across the country. Many of these are residential and include a flat-roofed concrete residence by Gabriel Rivera Arquitectos, a rural retreat with rammed-earth walls by Rama Estudio, and a house with a jagged brick roof by Felipe Assadi Arquitectos, and a bow-tie shape abode near the coast by Emilio López.
