教育部信息化大樓擴(kuò)建工程基地位于北京復(fù)興門舊址近旁，北臨長安街，西靠復(fù)興門外大街，東望遠(yuǎn)洋大廈，南接西鐵匠胡同。中國教育電視臺塔樓矗立在基地北側(cè)。2012 年由常青領(lǐng)銜的同濟(jì)大學(xué)建筑設(shè)計(jì)研究院概念方案從全國88 個征集方案中獲選。方案擬以保留該塔樓為前提，存舊續(xù)新，并以抵近基地空間屬性和場所特質(zhì)為導(dǎo)向，尋求喚起復(fù)興門的城市記憶。

方案一減層保留現(xiàn)狀樓體結(jié)構(gòu)，在其東側(cè)加建一座等高塔樓與之對稱相連，南面新建一座符合限高的塔樓與北樓高低對接，狀若“太師椅”，既滿足了擴(kuò)建要求，又改善了長安街的街廓尺度感。方案二完整保留現(xiàn)狀樓體結(jié)構(gòu)，向東和南兩個方向擴(kuò)建，形成存舊續(xù)新的“八仙桌”態(tài)勢，雖然大幅增加了建筑的外廓，但也通過東西向的空透門洞，減弱了整個建筑的體量感，回到了“復(fù)興之門”的設(shè)計(jì)初心。設(shè)計(jì)要點(diǎn)可以概括為：

The Information Technology Building extension project of the Ministry of Education is located close to the historic site of Fuxing Gate (Gate of Revival) in Beijing, bordered by Chang'an Avenue to the north, Fenxingmen Outer Street to the west, the Yuanyang Plaza to the east, and West Tiejiang Alley to the south.The Tower of the China Education Television dominates the northern section of the site. In 2012, the team from Tongji Architectural Design(Group), led by Professor CHANG Qing, had its conceptual design chosen from a nationwide pool of 88 submissions. The design endeavours to preserve the old and add the new on the premise of keeping the existing tower, and it seeks to revive the urban memory of the Fuxing Gate by stimulating its spatial qualities and genius loci.

其一，以“綠地廣場—泮池—月臺—主入口—過廳—八角廳”等層層遞進(jìn)，形成空間序列，并通過豎向交通核與屋頂四合院——“空中之庭”相貫連。底層平面為中國經(jīng)典的九宮格圖式，以四維四隅的樓體，環(huán)繞中央八角廳，形成傳統(tǒng)與現(xiàn)代相類比的平面構(gòu)圖關(guān)系。

其二，除保留的現(xiàn)樓體豎向交通核外，其余新建樓體分設(shè)3 個豎向交通核，并以內(nèi)環(huán)廊、過廳、疏散廳、天橋等將樓體各部分在水平和豎向連為一個整體。

其三，摒棄仿古大屋頂，以5 個寶藍(lán)頂蓋、栗色檐下的中國風(fēng)屋頂組合，隱喻傳統(tǒng)“五鳳樓”意境，在平頂層疊的鋼結(jié)構(gòu)邏輯中抽象顯示檐下“鋪?zhàn)鳌钡闹袊诺湟庀蟆?/p>

其四，墻身—基座劃分推陳出新，中西交融，采用黃金比，以石材嵌鋼的中式線框襯托西式浮雕壁龕，以幾何化的古典回紋和折角紋作為主要裝飾母題。該獲選方案因故未能實(shí)施。□

The first design option is to reduce the height of the existing building while preserving its current structure, and connect it symmetrically to an equal-height tower added to the east. A new tower that complies with the height regulations will be built in the south and connected with the northern towers to form the shape of a Taishi (Grand Preceptor) Armchair,which will not only satisfy the extension requirements but also improve the streetscape of the Chang'an Avenue. The second option is to extend in both the east and south directions while retaining the structure of the existing building, creating the look of a Baxian Square Table (Eight Immortals Table) in the spirit of "preserving the old and adding the new".Despite significantly expanding the building'svolume, this design decreases the heaviness of the structure by opening the east-west portal,reverting to the original intention of the "Gate of Revival". The primary design concepts can be summarised as follows.

Firstly, the site plan is formed by the orderly progression of the green square, pan(semicircular) pond, front platform, main entrance, entry hall and octangular hall, and is connected to the Sky Court rooftop courtyard via a vertical traffic hub. The ground floor plan resembles the traditional Chinese nine-squaredivision pattern, with an octagonal hall in the centre surrounded by a four-dimensional, fourcornered structure, creating an analogy between tradition and modernity.

Secondly, the interior traffic flow is organised with three more vertical traffic hubs set up in the newly designed towers in addition to the existing one, and the internal circular corridors, entrance halls, evacuation chambers,and sky bridges are used to connect all parts of the buildings horizontally and vertically.

Thirdly, instead of replicating the conventional big-roof style, the five sapphire blue canopies and marron eaves with Chinese resonance provide a metaphor for the traditional"Five Phoenix Pavilion", abstractly evoking the classical imagery of the bracket-layers (puzuo)under the eaves against a backdrop of the cascading steel framework on the flat roof.

Fourthly, the design of the vertical composition of the wall and base, following the golden ratio, is an East-West blended innovation.It enhances the Western-style relief niches with a stone-and-steel-inlaid Chinese wireframe and uses the geometry-inspired classical rectangular spiral and folded corner motifs as its primary ornamental theme. This design concept was eventually not implemented.□ (Translated by ZHU Yayun)

項(xiàng)目評論

由常青教授主持設(shè)計(jì)的“中國教育信息化大樓”方案，基地在民國初開鑿的長安街穿城而過之復(fù)興門遺址近旁。在研究基地場所特征與環(huán)境脈絡(luò)及功能定位關(guān)系的基礎(chǔ)上，他提出了“復(fù)興之門——國家遠(yuǎn)程教育新地標(biāo)”的設(shè)計(jì)理念，試圖從史地維度找到城市記憶的時空坐標(biāo)，以確定建筑生成的價(jià)值取向，將場所特征融入有意味的長安街國家教育電視臺大樓擴(kuò)建工程。

為此，設(shè)計(jì)首先在大樓的新舊部分如何有機(jī)結(jié)合、形成共生整體上展開，在保留國家教育電視臺主體塔樓的前提下進(jìn)行新舊交融的整體重塑，守正創(chuàng)新，完成“復(fù)興之門”的意象再現(xiàn)；其次，在建筑造型上尋求“古韻新風(fēng)”，即古韻而不復(fù)古，新風(fēng)而不唯新的理性思辨和設(shè)計(jì)策略，為完善長安街的古都風(fēng)貌天際線和新地標(biāo)做出貢獻(xiàn)；再次，在建筑形體塑造上，常教授先后提出了“復(fù)興之門”多個創(chuàng)意比選方案，如“太師椅”“八仙桌”“五鳳樓”等。顯然，設(shè)計(jì)在這里更注重建筑的場所感和象征性，而建筑形式不過是場所精神外化的具象表達(dá)而已。

總之，這是一個基于特定場所屬性和環(huán)境條件，將歷史意識融于現(xiàn)代設(shè)計(jì)的典型創(chuàng)意方案。

The China Education Information Technology Building, designed by Professor CHANG Qing, is an extension of the China Education Television Building on Chang'an Avenue. It is located near the historic site of Fuxing Gate (Gate of Revival),which was cut through by Chang'an Avenue at the beginning of the Republic of China (1912-1949).The architect proposed the design concept"Gate of Revival: New Landmark for Distance Learning in China" after conducting research into the site's characteristics, environment,and functional positioning. He endeavours to pinpoint the temporal and spatial coordinates of urban memory from the perspective of history and geography, thereby establishing the value of architectural form-making and integrating the site's qualities into the project.

To this end, the design focuses first on the organic combination of old and new and the creation of a symbiotic whole, so as to carry out the overall reshaping of the building complex, preserve and innovate, and complete the reappearance of the "Gate of Revival" imagery, on the premise of preserving the original main tower of China Education Television. Second, in order to contribute to the improvement of the ancient capital's skyline and the creation of new landmarks on Chang'an Avenue, it also pursues a "new style with ancient resonance" (guyun xinfeng) in the architectural form, which refers to the critical thinking and design strategy of favouring "ancient resonance" but not simply imitating the old, and encouraging "new style" but not blindly adopting the new. In terms of architectural form, the designer has provided a variety of images for the "Gate of Revival", including the Taishi (Grand Preceptor) Armchair, the Baxian Square Table (Eight Immortals Table), and the Five Phoenix Pavilion. Obviously, the design focuses more on the building's sense of place and accompanying symbolism, while the architectural form serves only as a figurative representation of the genius loci.

In conclusion, this is a quintessential design that incorporates historical consciousness into modern design, taking into account the qualities of the specific site and its surroundings.(Translated by ZHU Yayun)
