Rolex Learning Center
Lausanne, Switzerland
2007~2010
Designed by SANAA for EPFL, the Rolex Learning Center replaces the idea of floors with a continuous, topographic slab. A single, gently undulating plate is perforated by fourteen circular patios that bring daylight deep inside and organize program as archipelagos: library, forum, study areas and services. Structure and envelope follow the landscape: a concrete ground plate, a lightweight steel-and-glulam roof carried by a dispersed field of slender columns, and bespoke curved glazing with tolerances for movement. The extreme continuity—no corridors, few doors—makes circulation emergent: paths climb and dip rather than turn. The building thus operates as an artificial landscape for learning, where microclimate, acoustics and visual horizons are tuned by slope, void and glass rather than by walls.
劳力士学习中心
瑞士 洛桑
2007~2010
由SANAA为洛桑联邦理工设计的劳力士中心以一张起伏的连续地坪取代传统楼层。14个圆形天井把光与空气引入深处，并将图书馆、论坛与学习空间分散为“岛屿”。结构与围护顺应地形：下部为混凝土地坪，上部为钢与胶合木的轻型屋盖，细密柱网支撑，曲面玻璃通过特制节点吸收位移。几乎没有走廊与门，动线在起伏中自然生成——行走像在地形上“攀升”。声学与微气候由坡度、空庭与玻璃共同调谐，空间的开放性与学习的偶遇性因而被制度化。它是以地形逻辑组织知识与社交的校园公共基础设施。
