案例-The Commons

an active vertical urban living area

Bangkok, Thailand

2016

在不断进化。曼谷城市密度高，室外空间有限，百姓

急需新的适应热带气候的室外生活空间。

For Bangkok, or any other modern-day

cosmopolitan cities, living conditions and

spatial form continue to evolve. Bangkokians

are now yearning for new possibilities of

outdoor living space that can effectively

answer to the tropical heat and its dense

living condition where there is not much

space for the outdoor.

The Commons是一个位于城市中心的小商业项目，

旨在创造一个活跃而舒适的室外空间，让人们可以在

一年四季享受其中。

“The Commons”, a small retail development

in the city center, is an attempt to create a

new active outdoor space where people can

comfortably enjoy it at anytime of the year.

The Commons的主体是一个纵向的露天公共场所。底层为景观，设有台阶、坡道、休息平台、座椅、绿植和小凉亭等，整片区域处于三四层结构的阴影中，没有阳光和雨水的侵扰，人们可以安心地在这里进行各种活动。三层和四层围绕中庭设置室外空间，占去每层将近百分之三十的面积，与底层相连，形成了一个巨大的公共活动中庭。

“The Commons” proposes a vertical open-air public space folding upward as a backbone of the building. It starts with ‘the Ground’which is a landscape of steps and ramps integrated with platforms, seatings, planting and small kiosks. The area is well shaded by the third and the fourth floor structure above protecting the entire space from the sun and the rain. “The Ground” vertically opens up through large voids on the upper floors, connecting to a large public open-air area occupying nearly thirty percent of each of the

third and the fourth floor plate.

The space vertically and horizontally flows in and out the entire building and allows for natural ventilation throughout. Two sets of industrial fans are incorporated into the ceiling screen below the skylight. One set draws hot air upward and out; the other set blows the wind downward to effectively increase the air movement in extra hot days. This airy semi-outdoor space is well incorporated with gardens on all levels. It becomes an active vertical urban living area. It is a place for strolling and relaxing at any time and in any seasons.

公共活动中庭在垂直和水平方向贯通整个建筑，形成自然通风，此外还在天窗下的顶棚内设置了两套工业风扇进行机械送风和排风，保证在特别炎热的时候中庭空气依旧可以流通。良好的通风和每一层精心设置的花园，让这里成为了一个充满活力的半室外垂直城市空间，随时欢迎人们来此闲逛和放松身心。

多层商业建筑一直面临的一个挑战就是如何将顾客带到建筑高区，The Commons对此提出了自己的解决方案。建筑师在宽敞的底层空间设置了一系列台阶和平台，人们可以散着步，悠闲地从一层走到二层。三层和四层的开口进一步加强了垂直空间的连续性，游客在底层可以清楚地看到楼上的店铺，从而自然地被吸引到其他楼层。

“The Commons” also provides a solution answering to a classic challenge of a multi-storey retail building on how to draw people upward to the upper levels. The wide “Ground” with its gradual series of steps and platforms connecting the street level to the second floor naturally draws people to walk up leisurely. A series of openings in the third and the fourth floor further enhance a continuity of the vertical space. Shops on the upper levels are clearly seen from different angles from “the Ground”.

People flow to every floor effortlessly.
