Roy and Diana Vagelos Education Center New York City, USA

位于纽约市华盛顿高地附近,Roy&Diana Vagelos教育中心是哥伦比亚大学医学中心的一部分,占地1万平方米。该建筑于2016年完工,是医学教育由被动式、讲授为主向基于团队合作、解决问题为主的教学模式转换的典范,也是针对狭窄场地面积、锥形分区围护结构条件的回应。医学教育中心,因其传统特点与机构特色决定,往往层高较低、各功能空间配套拥挤、走廊采用内廊设计。而这座14层高的玻璃塔楼,设计风格迥然不同,瀑布式"学研串联"空间,为非正式学习与团队协作提供了多元化的交流、学习空间,扩展了建筑南侧立面校园活动范围。

Located in New York City’s Washington Heights neighborhood,the 10,000 square-meter Roy and Diana Vagelos Education Center is part of the Columbia University Medical Center.Completed in 2016,the building reflects a paradigm shift in medical education from passive,lecture-based instruction to team-based problem solving,while simultaneously responding to the site’s narrow footprint and tapered zoning envelope.In contrast to the traditional,institutional nature of medical education buildings-characterized by low-slung ceilings,densely-packed programs,and double-loaded corridors-the 14-story glass tower’s‘Study Cascade’extends campus activity along the south elevation of the building with a diverse network of social and study spaces for informal learning and collaboration.
