由于中國能源需求的增加，中國最大的石油公司——中國石油天然氣集團公司不斷擴大，要求能夠體現(xiàn)其形象及滿足使用要求的總部建筑。TFP作為設計聯(lián)合體成員之一，協(xié)助業(yè)主單位實現(xiàn)上述理想。

源于一項歷史性經(jīng)驗——南向的日光提供最大的能量——在北京建筑物南向朝向非常重要，但用地條件的限制通常對上述經(jīng)驗的落實造成阻礙。由TFP 與北京市建筑設計研究院合作創(chuàng)作的中國石油大廈(CNPC)設計理念，回應了上述挑戰(zhàn)。

該建筑物完全為業(yè)主自用，位于二環(huán)路東北角的一塊較窄的東西向用地，主要提供滿足各種需求的辦公空間、會議和內(nèi)部服務設施，高度限制為90m。設計組的首要設計任務是設法增加建筑物的南向采光面，通過四座24 層、L 型建筑的方式得以巧妙解決，但建筑的裙房和地下空間則四棟塔樓共用。由于集團公司和股份公司將共用該組建筑物，這一理念使得公司的各部門在空間的使用上既分且合。同時，這一設計理念給該建筑物帶來了最佳自然采光和通風，滿足了業(yè)主的兩項基本要求。

辦公樓的正面體形簡潔，從裙房緩緩向上，隨著玻璃比例的增加而越向頂部越為開放。建筑主體材料仍以石材為主，給人以從大地中生長的感覺，同時反映了公司基業(yè)的穩(wěn)固。各個立面在對環(huán)境設計的響應方面均不相同。

為了使該組建筑物在裙房部分成為一個統(tǒng)一的整體，形成公共的空間元素，在建筑物內(nèi)部設計了一條南北貫通的公共空間，在項目的最南端同地鐵相連接。與此同時，建筑物的地下層則為全部四座塔樓提供了共用設施，如餐廳及會堂等。

中國石油大廈被設想為一個采用了最新建筑技術的優(yōu)雅現(xiàn)代化建筑典范。盡管最終設計更為折中，并沒有采納TFP的全部設計理念，但這座為中石油量身定制的總部建筑，成為北京二環(huán)路上一個與眾不同的視線焦點。

Due to rising energy consumption in China, the country’s largest oil company China National Petroleum Company has expanded, requiring bigger premises and a suitably prestigious headquarters. TFP Farrells acted as consultants on the conceptual approach for the complex, designing spacious, modern towers that ref ect the petroleum company’s inf uential status.

Stemming from a historic practicality - that southern sunlight offers maximum heat gain - it is crucial for a building to have a south-facing aspect in Beijing but site restrictions often get in the way. The design concept for the China National Petroleum Centre (CNPC), on which TFP Farrells collaborated with the Beijing Institute of Architectural Design, had several such challenges to overcome.

The building, which primarily houses commercial of f ce space, conference and catering facilities, is located on a narrow east-west-oriented site on the Second Ring Road to the east of Beijing City and has a height restriction of 90 metres. TFP’s chief design focus was to increase the building’s southern exposure, which it did by clustering the building mass and breaking it into four 24-storey , L-shaped towers on a common base. As the country’s oil and gas departments will share the building, and are then divided into two subdepartments, this concept makes it easy to allocate each branch of the company a de f ned space. It also gives the building optimal natural lighting and ventilation, both of which are client requirements.

The elevations of the of f ces are composed of cubical forms rising from the podium, becoming lighter and more open towards the top of the building as the amount of glazing increases. Although the building is essentially a stone construction to give a sense of physical grounding and reflect the solid foundation of the company’s identity, its various facades dif fer in their environmental response. A glass shield-like skin is suspended off the east fa?ade, for example, to protect the building from dust, wind and noise pollution and simultaneously make a modern design statement. Stone claddings with metal f ns generate a more slender visual proportion.

To make the separate towers work as a uni f ed whole with environmental, social, organizational and spatial elements, atriums with internal climate controls have been conceived in each block. These are linked by internal streets running one level above ground from north to south, allowing the public to move from one block to another and eventually connect to the metro at the south end of the development. Similarly , the building’s sizeable basement accommodates common functions for all four towers such as coffee shops,libraries and auditoriums.

CNPC was envisaged as an elegant example of modern architecture using the latest building technology .Although the f nal plan does not contain all TFP’s specif cations, the building is a f tting headquarters for the corporation and a distinctive feature on the city’s Second Ring Road.
