NBBJ Unveils New Plans for Biosphere Greenhouses at Amazon
设计方：NBBJ公司
建筑时间：2016

位于亚马逊的在西雅图的总部将接管丹尼三角区的3个闹市。该项目包括3个街区，共3300000平方英尺、，内有三个38层高的办公大楼、两个高层写字楼和一个可容纳1800人的多功能会议中心。在这里，由于人口密度大，公交的运输压力也比较大，这就不可避免地影响了该项目的整体印象。目前NBBJ公司推出了一个新的计划，这个新计划旨在建设一个充满日光和植物的独特生态环境。
NBBJ的西雅图计划，得到了褒贬不一的评价。NBBJ的规划，主旨在于建立一个宽阔的公共空间和美化的城市环境。这个生物圈规划，被设计为一个不规则的五边形，采用钢、铝和玻璃进行建模，以最大限度地提高照明度和减少热量的吸收。NBBJ在市民广场上也作了设计和美化，并且增加了更多的座位。整个建筑看上去就像一个足球。
亚马逊和NBBJ计划在2016年完成该项目。
Amazon’s new Seattle headquarters will take over 3 blocks in downtown in the Denny Triangle area. The project will comprise 3.3 million square feet spread over three city blocks – including three 38-story high-rise office towers, two mid-rise office buildings and a multi-purpose meeting center seating 1,800 people. NBBJ is designing the complex to meet LEED Gold standards and to invigorate the downtown area. Increased density, more efficient infrastructure and the increased use of public transportation by employees will also help to reduce the project’s overall impact. The biosphere buildings at the heart of the project are intended to provide a unique office setting filled with daylight and plants.
When NBBJ presented the project to the Seattle Department of Planning and Development (SDPD), it was met with mixed reviews, but they encouraged the idea and asked for some changes. The city wanted to see more public space and more landscaping. To appease the board, NBBJ presented a revamped plan that updates the biospheres with a ‘Catalan Skin’ made of irregular pentagons. Prefabricated from steel, aluminum and glass, the spheres are modeled to maximize lighting and minimize heat gain. NBBJ also increased landscaping in the public square, added more seating, built in a covered walkway from the spheres to the main tower, and increased retail space. The spheres were shortened slightly to lessen their impact on the public square, and more access was provided for the public within the building and the park.
Amazon and NBBJ hope to complete the project by 2016. Read more about the plan here.
