Foster + Partners unveils design for coral-reef-like Marine Life Institute in Saudi Arabia
由专筑网江鹏,小R编译
英国福斯特及其合伙人(Foster + Partners)建筑事务所正在沙特阿拉伯Amaala度假村设计了“世界上第一座完全沉浸体验式海洋生物中心”,该中心将以一个大型人造礁的造型为特征。
Red Sea发展公司的企业中心位于Amaala度假区的Triple海湾的豪华旅游聚集区,面积占地10430平方米。建筑将分为三层,一层位于地下,另一层将位于水位线以下。
该研究中心由钢结构框架支撑的玻璃钢筋混凝土板制成,其整体造型设计类似珊瑚礁。它由四个建筑群组成,其中由一个顶棚横跨所有建筑群以形成遮蔽阴影。
British studio Foster + Partners is designing "the world's first fully immersive experiential marine life centre" at the Amaala resort in Saudi Arabia, which will feature a large man-made reef.
Located in the Triple Bay Marina at luxury tourist destination Amaala, the centre for The Red Sea Development Company will measure 10,430 square-metres. It will be spread over three levels with one underground level and one located below the water level.
Made from glass-reinforced concrete panels supported by a structural steel frame, the institute will have an organic shape that was designed to resemble coral reefs. It comprises four building clusters, with a canopy spanning all of them to create shading.

展览展示中心,包含了半球形的空间,这是一个建筑的基础设施类功能空间,用来展示海洋野生动物。
海洋生物研究所还将容纳世界上最大的人造珊瑚礁之一,长40米,深10米。
福斯特建筑事务所的负责人Gerard Evenden说:“我们很高兴能与Red Sea发展公司密切合作,实现这个独特的项目。”
他补充说:“综合展览展示中心将带游客进行红海体验之旅,他们将穿过建筑,前往深海珊瑚礁体验平台。”
“在展示空间的中心,一个巨大的悬浮半球形水箱,这是在同类水箱中最大的一个,在这个令人惊叹的珊瑚展览水箱中容纳了当地多样的海洋野生动物。”
这座建筑能够容纳650人,还有Red Sea发展公司描述为“未来主义”的实验室空间。
参观者可以参观实验室,这些实验室将成为“保护运动”科学研究中心的一部分。其他景点还包括沉浸体验中心和乘坐潜水器进行红海水下之旅。
海洋生物研究所超过40%的场地将遵循本地规划设计,建筑还设计了一个收集径流水的系统。据说这样可以防止水土流失和水污染,同时也可以减少建筑内的用水量。
Exhibition displays, including semi-spherical tanks, will be integrated into the building's infrastructure to showcase marine wildlife.
The Marine Life Institute will also house one of the largest man-made reefs in the world, which will be 40 metres long and 10 metres deep.
"We are delighted to be working closely with The Red Sea Development Company to realise this unique project," Foster + Partners head of studio Gerard Evenden said.
"Integrated exhibition displays take visitors on a journey through the Red Sea, as they travel down through the building towards the immersive deep reef 'big reveal,'" he added.
"At the heart of the space a large, suspended semi-spherical tank – a real first-of-its-kind – contains local marine wildlife within a stunning coral exhibit."
The building will be capable of housing up to 650 people and also feature lab spaces that The Red Sea Development Company describes as "futuristic."
Visitors will be able to tour the labs, which will be part of the "conservation-driven" scientific research centre. Other attractions will include augmented reality experiences and underwater Red Sea tours in submersible vehicles.
More than 40 per cent of the site for the Marine Life Institute will be covered in native plans, and the building was also designed with a system to collect runoff water. This is said to prevent erosion and pollution, while also reducing the mains water use.

为了保护夜间环境,研究所设计了防止光污染的照明系统。建筑中的私人办公室采用自然照明,并设有屏幕,其设计灵感来自覆盖窗户和天窗的珊瑚图案。
Red Sea发展公司首席执行官John Pagano表示:“海洋生物研究所拥有10个区域,提供从沉浸体验到夜间潜水的一切活动,以及科学界有效推进海洋环境治理项目的实验室,无可否认,它是独一无二的。”
“它不仅将推动全球绿色保护和蓝色治理方面的创新,还将帮助沙特阿拉伯成为旅行者寻求丰富生活的地点。”
该项目的大块土方工程已经完成,Red Sea发展公司将开始打桩和打入支撑结构,然后在地表水以下12米进行挖掘,建造该研究所的大型水族馆。
福斯特建筑事务所还为Amaala度假村设计了一个机场,该项目受到了气候活动组织“建筑师气候保护团体”的批评。由于其航空项目受到批评,福斯特建筑事务所退出了Architects Declare气候小组。
Amaala度假村是沙特阿拉伯的大型开发项目,除此之外,还有红海度假区开发项目,福斯特建筑事务所在海豚状的岛屿上设计了一座像珊瑚绽放的度假村。90个未开发岛屿的整体总体规划由隈研吾和福斯特建筑事务所负责。
在沙特阿拉伯的其他地方,该国还公布了Neom开发项目的最新计划,其中包括在沙漠中举办亚洲冬季运动会(Asian Winter Games)的设计,以及将容纳900万人口的长170公里的镜面摩天大楼the Line。这座城市的可持续性和宜居性一直受到质疑。

In order to protect the nocturnal environment, the institute will have lighting designed to prevent light pollution. Private offices in the building will be naturally lit and feature screens inspired by the pattern of corals that cover windows and skylight.
"With 10 zones that provide everything from augmented reality experiences to night diving, and spaces for the scientific community to effectively progress their environmental projects, the Marine Life Institute is undeniably unique," The Red Sea Development Company CEO John Pagano said.
"Not only will it drive global green and blue innovations, it will also help put Saudi Arabia on the map for travelers seeking trips that enrich their lives."
Bulk earthworks on the project are complete and The Red Sea Development Company is set to begin piling and shoring, before excavating 12 metres below the surface water level to create the institute's Grand Reveal aquarium.
Foster + Partners is also designing an airport for the Amaala resort, which was criticised by climate activist group Architects Climate Action Network. Following the criticism of its aviation projects, Foster + Partners withdrew from the Architects Declare climate group.
Amaala is one of several large-scale developments in Saudi Arabia, along with The Red Sea Project where Foster + Partners are designing the Coral Bloom resort on a dolphin-shaped island. The overall master plan for the chain of 90 undeveloped islands is being led by Kengo Kuma and Foster + Partners.
Elsewhere in Saudi Arabia, the country has unveiled the latest plans for its Neom development, which include designs to hold the Asian Winter Games in the desert and The Line, a 170-kilometre-long mirrored skyscraper that will be home to nine million people. The city has been criticised for its claims about sustainability and liveability.
Foster + Partners founder Norman Foster was previously a consultant for the mega scheme, but withdrew from the advisory board in 2018 following the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
