Safdie Architects事务所为巴西的医疗中心设计了一处巨大的中庭，通过玻璃天花板的形态，唤起“置身于树冠下的体验”。

位于圣保罗南部的阿尔伯特爱因斯坦教育和研究中心 (下文简称AEERC)由Safdie Architects 事务所设计，容纳医学院和研究机构。

医疗中心是Sociedade Beneficente Israelta Brasileira Albert Einstein私立医院的附属机构，医院位于街道对面，通过人行道与医疗中心连通。

Safdie Architects has oriented a medical centre in Brazil around a massive atrium with a glass ceiling that was designed to evoke "the feeling of being under a tree canopy".
Safdie Architects created The Albert Einstein Education and Research Center (AEERC), located in southern São Paulo, to house a medical school as well as research facilities.
The center is part of the private hospital Sociedade Beneficente Israelita Brasileira Albert Einstein, which is located across the street and connected to the new building by a walkway.

AEERC大楼共占地12,000㎡，带有拱形玻璃天花板的大中庭是大楼的标志性构件。

这个位于屋顶的圆拱形天花板面积共计3,800㎡，由1,854块烧结玻璃面板组成，覆盖在钢格架上。

Safdie Architects事务所合伙人Sean Scensor描述道：“我们致力于寻找最轻的结构，以经济高效地连接建筑的两翼，让自然光透入花园。”

“由薄钢网格组装、相互重叠的圆顶，最终成为解决结构工程问题的最优雅方案。”

设计采用具有最低反射率的超透玻璃，可以有效避免环境反射的干扰。

The 12,000-square-metre AEERC building is distinguished by a large atrium with a vaulted glass ceiling.
Forming a dome that rests above the roof, the ceiling spans 3,800 square metres and is made up of 1,854 panels of fritted glass laid over a steel grid.
"We were looking for the lightest structure to efficiently span between the two wings of the building and bring light into the garden," said Safdie Architects partner Sean Scensor.
"The overlapping domes, engineered as a thin steel lattice, turned out to be the most elegant solution to the problem."
This glass is ultra-transparent and was designed with minimum reflectivity in order to avoid disturbing exterior reflections.

安置于天花板的玻璃面板进行微穿孔处理以过滤环境噪音，并根据每个方位的平均日照水平，加工密度不同的半透明点状纹理，来提供最佳的遮阳效果。

Safdie Architects事务所对此描述说：“抬头看重叠的圆点玻璃板，就像透过树的叶丛间隙看到斑驳的阳光，赋予一种在树冠下的体验。”

The glass panels used for the ceiling were micro-perforated to filter out external noise and have a pattern of translucent dots that vary in concentration, depending on the levels of average sun exposure, to provide optimal shade.
"As seen from below, the overlapping layers of dots is like seeing dappled sunlight through the overlapping leaves of a tree, evoking the feeling of being under a tree canopy," said Safdie Architects.

这座五层建筑由混凝土和落地玻璃窗构成，其外立面覆盖着的木制百叶窗起到遮阳的作用，保护建筑的外部结构直接受到日晒。

每处木质百叶窗的方向各不相同。

建筑师解释道：“百叶窗的开合形态，以及它们的角度和间距，是基于计算机日照计算、并经过1:1物理模型测试后研究开发的。”

The facade of the five-storey building, which is made of concrete and full-height glass, is partly covered in wooden louvres. These function as a brise soleil, keeping sun away from the exterior envelope of the structure.
The direction of the wooden slats varies throughout.
"The airfoil shape of the louvers, as well as their angle and spacing, was developed using computer sun studies, tested with full scale physical models," said the architecture studio.

在大楼内部，教室和通道紧贴建筑两侧，为中间的庭院留出空间。

这座大型花园由建筑事务所与巴西景观设计师 Isabel Duprat 联合设计。

Inside the building, classrooms and walkways hug the sides of the structure, leaving space in the middle for the atrium.
This features an expansive garden designed in collaboration with Brazilian landscape architect Isabel Duprat.

植物从底层的入口向上延伸到中心公共区域，公共区域逐渐向下形成一个中央交汇点，作为一处种植树木的露台。

据建筑事务所称，中庭的鹅卵石地板取材本地的石英岩，灵感来自圣保罗公共广场的地面铺装。

Foliage extends from the entryways at ground floor level to the centre of the open area, which is stepped down to form a central meeting point as well as a tree-planted terrace.
The cobblestone flooring in the atrium is made of local quartzite that references the ground of public squares in São Paulo, according to the architecture studio.

Scensor 说：“虽然大楼的建筑体量较为分散，但位于中心的大型多层花园仿佛一处意外发现的秘境：明亮、诱人和鼓舞人心。”

在中庭之外，研究中心被分为两处翼楼。东翼是教学空间，而西翼则用于研究机构。

教室的落地玻璃窗可以看到室外的百叶窗和由木头及天然橡胶制成的地板。

上层用于连接研究中心和医院的人行道形成了俯瞰中庭的夹层，布置有额外的座位。顶层有一处从主体结构向外拓展的圆形露台，为使用者创造绿色的户外空间。

"While the exterior is scaled to be discrete, the spacious multilevel garden at the heart of the center feels like an unexpected discovery: bright, inviting, and inspiring," said Scensor.
Beyond the atrium, the center is organized into two wings. The east wing holds many of the teaching spaces, while the west is oriented towards research.
The classrooms have floor-to-ceiling glass windows with views of the louvres outside and floors made of wood or natural rubber.
On the upper levels, connecting walkways form mezzanines that overlook the atrium and have additional seating. The top floor has a circular terrace that branches off from the main structure, creating a green outdoor space for users.

AEERC从2017年启动建设，于2022 年 6 月竣工。医学院将于2022年8月正式开学。

Safdie Architects事务所由以色列人Moshe Safdie于1964 年在蒙特利尔创立，该事务所现位于波士顿。

该事务所因其为 1967 年蒙特利尔世博会设计的Habitat 67立方体社会住房一举闻名。

最近，事务所在中国重庆设计了来福士广场，其中有一座“水平摩天大楼”。

其他设有大型玻璃中庭的建筑案例，还有Safdie建筑事务所设计的新加坡机场中庭，主打设有瀑布的水景。

Construction for AEERC began in 2017 and was completed in June 2022. The school will open in August 2022.
Safdie Architects was founded in Montreal in 1964 by Israel-born Moshe Safdie, and the practice is now based in Boston.
Safdie is well-known for his installation for the cubic social housing project Habitat 67, created for the 1967 World Expo in Montreal.
More recently, the studio has designed a series of skyscrapers with a "horizontal skyscraper" laid across them in China.
Other projects that include massive glass atriums include Safdie's design for the Singapore airport, where the atrium is open in the water to make way for a waterfall.
