UNStudio和Bauwerk为德国慕尼黑的Van B住宅设计了一个新的“模拟智能”城市生活概念。

这种全新的住宅形式重新定义了城市生活的未来，迎合了不断变化的人口结构和多种家庭格局。通过适应性强的隔墙和插件式家具系统，该项目可以轻松地改变配置。

UNStudio and Bauwerk have created a new ‘analog smart’ urban living concept for the Van B residences in Munich, Germany. The completely new form of housing reimagines the future of city living, catering to changing demographics and multiple family constellations. Through adaptable partitions and a system of plugin furniture, the project allows an easy change of configuration. “Quality meters over square meters”.

位于慕尼黑未来创意区旁边的新Van B住宅项目是“现代城市住宅的原型”。包括高度灵活的公寓，户外和共享的公共空间和创造性的立面，在建的住宅和办公开发提供了一种新的城市生活形式，具有多功能插件模块。

创始人和首席架构师UNStudio表示,自从“个人空间在我们的家庭不得不成为多功能,担任办公室,健身房,起居室,和睡觉的角落。同时，我们需要开发新的生活概念,迎合不断变化的需求”

Located next to the future creative quarter in Munich, the new Van B residential project is a “prototype for modern city-dwelling”. Encompassing highly flexible apartments, outdoor and shared communal spaces and a striking fa?ade, the under-construction residential and office development offers a new form of urban living, with multifunctional plugin modules. On that note, Ben van Berkel, founder and principal architect of UNStudio stated that ever since “individual spaces in our homes have had to become multi-functional, serving as offices, gyms, living rooms, and sleeping nooks, all at the same time[…] we need to develop new living concepts that cater to the changing demands of our homes.”

真正让Van B与众不同的是，它提供了一种全新的“智能”生活方式。从通常的技术整合角度来看，这并不明智;相反，它需要重新诠释来自数字世界的理念，以改善我们居住的物理空间。

——Ben van Berkel, UNStudio创始人兼首席建筑师。

What makes Van B truly special and unique is that it offers a completely new form of ‘smart’ living. This is not smart in the usual sense of tech integration; it instead involves reinterpreting ideas from the digital world in order to improve the analog, physical spaces we inhabit. -- Ben van Berkel, founder and principal architect of UNStudio.

随着这些概念在当今世界变得越来越重要，通过Van B, UNStudio引入了新的方法，使公寓的足迹更加灵活。

该策略包括创造尽可能多的不同方式来重新配置公寓，通过想象“一个适应性强的隔断和家具‘基于插件的’系统，允许业主使用40平方米的公寓空间，几乎就像它是60平方米的阁楼”。

As these notions become more important to people in today’s world, through Van B, UNStudio introduces new ways to make the footprint of an apartment more flexible. The strategy consists of creating as many different ways as possible to reconfigure an apartment, by imagining “an adaptable partition and furniture ‘plugin-based’ system that allows homeowners to use the space in a 40m2 apartment almost as if it were a 60m2 loft”.

这种灵活性在于，每个元素都可以在不同的配置中工作，驻留者可以根据9个元素的目录选择插件的单独配置。

——UNStudio。

The flexibility lies in the fact that each element can work in different configurations and that the resident can choose an individual configuration of plugins based on a catalog of nine elements. – UNStudio.

允许租户在几秒钟内轻松地改变同一楼层空间的使用，该设计挑战了旧有的占地面积惯例，鼓励人们以更灵活的方式生活。

为了实现这一点，UNStudio将元素放置在网格上，“当一个元素打开时，另一个元素的后面需要与它相邻”，生成一个总是一起工作的模块。事实上，房主可以根据他们的日常需要改变他们的空间。

Allowing tenants to easily change the use of the same floor space in a matter of seconds, the design challenges old conventions of square footage, encouraging people to live in more flexible ways. To achieve this, UNStudio put in place elements placed on a grid, where “whenever one element is opened, the back of the other one needs to be adjacent to it”, generating a module that always works together. In fact, homeowners can change their space according to their daily needs.

在过去的建筑中已经看到了相关的理念，但是Van B超越了我们在建筑中所知道的传统的灵活性理念。它更智能，适应性更强，用户友好，同时也提供了高水平的舒适性。

——Ben van Berkel, UNStudio创始人兼首席建筑师。

Related ideas have been seen in architecture in the past, but Van B goes beyond traditional ideas of flexibility as we know them in architecture. It is more intelligent, adaptable and user friendly, while also providing high levels of comfort.-- Ben van Berkel, founder and principal architect of UNStudio.

此外，该设计通过将户外空间作为生活空间的延伸，有助于实现开发项目内的社区。大窗台和阳台扩大了空间，并在街道、住宅和室外树木之间建立了视觉联系。

底层面向庭院的廊式阁楼允许住户打开自己的公寓，将起居室延伸到花园，而三层的空隙则创造了独特的空间配置。

In addition, the design helps achieve a community within the development, by using outdoor space as an extension of the living spaces. Large bay windows and balconies expand the space and create visual connections between the street, the homes, and the outside trees. Gallery lofts that face the courtyard on the ground floor invite residents to open up their apartments and extend their living rooms into the garden, while the three-level voids create unique spatial configurations.

当前的流行病凸显了社会关系对我们福祉的重要性。我们现在比以往任何时候都更清楚地看到，许多人渴望并需要定期与家人、朋友和邻居见面。

但特别是与邻居的接触，这种接触通常是自发的，因此需要进行鼓励。建筑创造框架，使人们能够见面，邻里社区可以被塑造，偶然的相遇可以发生。

——Ben van Berkel, UNStudio创始人兼首席建筑师。

The current pandemic has highlighted how important social connections are for our wellbeing. Now more than ever, we are seeing that many people desire and need to meet regularly with their families, friends and neighbors. But with neighbors in particular, such encounters are usually spontaneous and so they need to be facilitated. Architecture can create frameworks that enable people to meet, where neighborhood communities can be shaped and where spontaneous encounters can occur. -- Ben van Berkel, founder and principal architect of UNStudio.
