在室外生活：MVRDV设计的 “像素”破土动工，阿布扎比创客园区内一个以社区为中心的混合用途项目

MVRDV在阿布扎比设计了一个8.5万平方米的混合用途项目——“像素”， CNTC被指定为总承包商，该项目目前正在建设中。充满活力的公共广场四周坐落着525套公寓、商店、办公室和便利设施，该设计使基于室外生活和社区精神的生活方式成为可能——这是阿联酋的一个创新举措。

MVRDV’s Pixel, an 85,000-square-metre mixed-use development in Abu Dhabi, is now under construction following the appointment of construction company CNTC as the project’s main contractor. Featuring 525 apartments, shops, offices, and amenities situated around a lively communal plaza, the design enables a lifestyle based around outdoor living and community spirit – an innovative approach in the Emirates.

“像素”是阿布扎比瑞姆岛新开发项目创客园区的第一个在建工程。项目开发商IMKAN将“像素”标榜为阿布扎比的新中心，它的创新性将与附近萨迪亚特岛上的城市文化中心相媲美。有别于阿联酋流行的其他单体塔楼的类型，“像素”秉承创客园区的创新和国际化精神，将成为一个拥抱室外并且能够营造社区氛围的混合用途项目。

Pixel is the first project under construction in Makers District, a new development on Abu Dhabi’s Reem Island that is billed by developer IMKAN as the new heart of Abu Dhabi, providing a creative counterpart to the city’s cultural hub on the nearby Saadiyat Island. Capitalising on the innovative, cosmopolitan spirit of Makers District, Pixel is envisioned as a development which embraces the outdoors and creates a sense of community, deviating from the prevalent typology in the United Arab Emirates of disconnected towers.

该项目包括七个坐落在场地边缘且排列紧凑的中层塔楼，它们为场地中央创造出一个中心广场。出于遮阳和优化景观的考虑，七座塔楼的高度各不相同。塔楼的外立面简单却又有着丰富的3D图案，但真正将社区精神带入生活的是朝向中心广场的立面；每座塔楼低层的立面结构“分化”成露台和飘窗，完美地融入了下方热闹的广场，人们可以在一年中凉爽的几个月中享受一种类似在户外的生活方式。珠光陶板将阳台进一步遮蔽，珍珠的光泽致敬了阿布扎比本地悠久的珍珠采集历史。MVRDV还在中心广场设计了一些也用珠光陶板装饰的凉亭，它们和阳台的结构相似并为使用者提供了额外的阴凉。

The development comprises seven compact mid-rise towers of varying heights for optimized views and shading, which are pushed to the edges of the site to create a central plaza in between. The outward-facing façades of these towers are simple, enriched with a 3D graphic pattern, but it is the façades facing the central plaza that truly bring the development to life; near the base of each tower, these façades “break down” into formations of balconies and bay windows, perfect for engaging with the lively plaza below and for embracing an outdoor lifestyle during the cooler months of the year. These balconies are further shaded by ceramic screens which, in a nod to Abu Dhabi’s pearl diving heritage, are given a shimmering pearlescent finish. These screens also adorn a number of matching pavilions which MVRDV positioned in the central plaza to provide extra shade.

“阿布扎比一年中约有八个月气候非常宜人，但是那里的大多数住宅并没有真正做到鼓励人们参与室外活动。通过 ‘像素’，我们希望展示在这个城市里，建筑与室外的联系不仅能够实现，而且是有益的。”MVRDV联合创始人Jacob van Rijs说道：“创客园区的价值观——创造力、学习和分享——都是以人为本的。而我们设计的步行广场和“像素”的阳台，这些户外空间也意在鼓励社区精神，为社区营造社交和创新的氛围。”

“The weather in Abu Dhabi is very pleasant for about eight months of the year, yet most housing there doesn’t really encourage people to spend time outside. With Pixel, we wanted to show that a connection with the outdoors is not only possible in this city, but beneficial,” says MVRDV founding partner Jacob van Rijs. “The values of Makers District – creativity, learning, and sharing – are all at their core about people. So our design creates outdoor spaces with the pedestrian plaza and ‘pixel’ balconies to encourage a sense of community spirit, enabling this social and creative atmosphere.”

“像素”包含525套面积不同的公寓，从单间到宽敞的三居室不等。公寓的排布方式体现了多样性的理念，由于基地中心充满活力氛围的步行广场为低层的生活提供了便利，相较通常将最昂贵的公寓放在最高层的典型模式，“像素”得以将昂贵和实惠的公寓组合在一起。所有公寓都精装修交付，室内也由MVRDV主导设计。

Pixel contains 525 apartments of varying sizes, ranging from studios to spacious three-bedroom homes. These apartments are arranged in a way that celebrates diversity, mixing more expensive units and more affordable spaces together instead of the typical model in which the most expensive units are placed on the highest levels. This is enabled by the development’s central pedestrian plaza, which with its vibrant atmosphere offers a benefit to living on the lower levels. All the apartments further benefit from fully equipped interiors, with the interior design also led by MVRDV.

得益于像素化的设计，拥有更多空间的塔楼低层可以作为办公空间使用——灵活的布局包含了小至50平方米的空间，非常适合初创企业——以及商店、咖啡馆、餐厅、诊所和一系列附属设施，如游泳池、健身房、社区空间以及儿童游戏室。中心广场也是“大动脉”的一部分，这是创客园区内连接“像素”和附近海滩的连续公共步行空间。

The pixelated form of the design also makes the towers wider at the lower levels, making them perfect for accommodating the development’s offices – which, with their flexible layouts allowing spaces as small as 50 square metres, are perfect for start-ups – as well as shops, cafés and restaurants, a clinic, and a wide range of amenities including a pool, gym, community spaces, and a children’s playroom. The central plaza also forms a part of “The Artery”, a continuous pedestrian public space through Makers District that connects Pixel to the nearby beach.

“像素”的建设正在进行中，预计2021年底完工，CNTC为项目的总承包商。该项目的开发商是总部位于阿布扎比的IMKAN，IMKAN因其以研究为导向在全球建立社区的方式而闻名。Dewan Architects担任驻场建筑师，Ramboll中亚分部担任工程和项目经理。丹麦建筑师BIG设计了“像素”中心广场的景观及公共步行空间的其余部分。

Construction of Pixel is now underway, led by CNTC as the main contractor. Completion is expected for the end of 2021. The project was designed by MVRDV for Abu Dhabi-based developer IMKAN, known for building communities across the globe with a research-led approach, with Dewan Architects acting as executive local architect of record and Ramboll Middle East and Asia as Engineer and Project Manager. The landscaping of Pixel’s central plaza, along with the rest of The Artery, was designed by Danish Architects BIG.
