辛辛那提大学林德纳商学院的成立不仅标志着Henning Larsen在北美第一个项目的完成，而且也是辛辛那提大学200周年校庆的献礼。该项目旨在创建一个具有社区感的学校，兼具斯堪的纳维亚地区对公共健康的关注和中西部的实用性风格，经过两年的建设后完成。

The opening of University of Cincinnati’s Lindner College of Business is a fortuitous one, marking both the completion of Henning Larsen’s first project in North America and the university’s bicentennial. Completed after two years of construction, the project aims to create a deep-rooted sense of community within the school, combining the strong Scandinavian sense of communal wellness with Midwestern practicality.

这座22.5万平方英尺（约2.1万平方米）的建筑位于辛辛那提大学的中心地带。大学位于辛辛那提北部，是座人口稠密的城市校园，拥有一系列令人印象深刻的著名建筑。林德纳商学院作为一个景观轴节点，将传统的方庭、城市公交线路与加州大学主干道连接起来，形成了学校步行的社交脉络。

The 225,000ft² (approximately 21,000㎡) building is located within the heart of the university, a densely urban campus in the north of Cincinnati that boasts an impressive array of notable architecture. The new business school is a hinge within this landscape, linking together a traditional quad and city bus route to the UC Main Street, a pedestrian avenue that forms the school’s social nerve.

学院位于校园的东北角，它的四边与邻近的人行道对齐，周围的小径引导学生直接穿过建筑。从外部看，建筑呈现出透镜状的质感，透过不同的角度，它的立面或者呈现出玻璃般的透明或者呈现出石面般的不透明。在室内，恒定的漫射光在白天使建筑人工照明和眩光最小化。中庭的天窗使室内深处充满阳光。当太阳在天空中移动时，扭曲的矩形光斑投射到空间内部。
The new business school sits in the campus’ northeastern quadrant, its four prismatic volumes aligning with the neighboring quad’s footpath to encourage students to pass directly through the building during their campus commute. From the outside, the building takes on a lenticular quality, its façade appearing glassily transparent or stony-faced and opaque from different vantages. Inside, this strategy translate to constant diffuse light, minimizing both the need for artificial lighting in the day and harsh glare. The skylight roof of the central atrium allows the deep interior to brim with sunlight, casting distorted rectangles of light through the space as the sun moves in the sky.

Henning Larsen纽约办公室的的合伙人及总负责人迈克尔·索伦森认为，设计师想打造的商学院不只是单纯的一个校园的项目，而是整个校园的延伸。尤其是在商业领域，建立人脉非常重要，如果人们被束缚或者忽视，他们就不能很好地学习或工作。这种联结的能力必须成为这座建筑的第二天性，因为它激励着学院成为校园里最开放的建筑。
“We wanted the college to be not an object on the campus, but an extension of it,” explains Michael Sørensen, Partner and Head of Henning Larsen’s New York office. “Especially in business, where creating personal networks is so important, people can’t learn or work well if they feel boxed-in and invisible. The ability to connect had to be a kind of second nature in the building- it came from a motivation for the college to be the most open building on campus.”

校园里随时可见很多学生穿过校园或建筑的走廊、大厅和楼梯井，设计愿景因此清晰起来。即使在上课期间，建筑内也不会变得十分安静。这座建筑对课后的学习给予了关注，尤其是共同学习的学生。中庭贯穿建筑的中心，阳光透过天窗照亮了桌子和周围常年被学生们用笔记本电脑占据着的座位。中庭周围的台阶上也设置着座位。

This desire becomes clear during passing periods, when the building brims with students cutting through the campus or travel through the building’s corridors, halls, and stairwells. But silence doesn’t necessarily fall when classes begin again. The building gives uncommon attention to the learning that happens outside the classroom, in particular the kind that happens with others. A full height atrium punctures the center of the building, skylights illuminating tables and seating arrangements perennially populated by students with laptops. This continues up the floors, where counter seating encloses the atrium’s perimeter.

“在谈到我们想要在学校创造什么样的社区的时候，我们经常发现仿佛回到了丹麦‘hygge’风格，”索伦森解释道，“如今，全世界都把‘hygge’与烛光和舒适联系在一起，但‘hygge’的精髓其实是让大家聚在一起享受舒适和幸福。学生们最终需要找到属于自己的‘hygge’，而我们为实现为这种氛围提供了集聚的空间。”
“When talking about the kind of community we wanted to create in the school, we found ourselves often returning to the Danish idea of hygge,” explains Sørensen. “It’s an idea now associated around the world with candlelight and coziness, but the essence of hygge is really about being together in comfort and happiness. The students ultimately have to find hygge for themselves, but in providing spaces for togetherness we created a framework for that kind of atmosphere.”

林纳德商学院比之前多提供了70%的学生空间，不再采用传统的教室和办公室分离的模式，以促进更广阔的学习视野。这一点在非正式的空间中体现了出来，如配有插头的大厅座位和带室内窗户的教室，同时在学习和教学的正式空间也有体现。该建筑第一层是一个画廊，建筑上层有两个庭院，这两个庭院可以作为采光井使光线进入建筑内部。
The new business school offers 70 percent more student space than its predecessor, its concept resisting the traditional model of compartmentalized classrooms and offices to promote a more generous vision of future learning. This is articulated in the informal spaces – hall seating complete with plugs, classrooms with interior windows – but also in the inclusion of atypical formal spaces for learning and teaching. The building includes a gallery at the ground level and two courtyards in the building’s upper levels that double as light wells to the deep interiors.

“斯堪的纳维亚文化关注于公共空间和分享。这才是我们带给林纳德这个建筑最重要的。”索伦森说，“大学对塑造年轻人有重大责任，教室外发生的事情可能比教室内发生的事情更重要。通过为学生和教师提供工作和交流的空间，我们强调了社交的重要性。”
“Scandinavian culture has a big focus on communal spaces and what you share within them –this was something we felt was important to bring to the Lindner Building,” says Sørensen. “Universities have a great responsibility in shaping young adults, and what happens outside of the classroom is equally, if not more important, than what happens inside. By including a variety of spaces for students and faculty to work and connect on their own terms, we emphasize the importance of the social aspects of learning.”

林德纳商学院的校园景观在国际上被称为当代美国建筑的“名人录”。Frank Gehry、Morphosis、Pei Cobb Freed和Bernard Tschumi都据Hargreaves Associates1991年的总体规划参与设计了这座校园。Hargreaves Associates与大学广泛合作，为校园带来高质量的建筑，试图打造一个强烈的时代特征。
The Lindner College of Business joins a campus landscape known internationally as a “who’s who” style guide to contemporary American architecture. Featuring works by famed architects such as Frank Gehry, Morphosis, Pei Cobb Freed and Bernard Tschumi, the present-day campus grew from a 1991 masterplan by Hargreaves Associates which, in concert with a university wide-effort to bring quality architecture to campus, sought to craft a strong contemporary identity for the institution.

林德纳商学院是由Henning Larsen设计，KZF Design、BuroHappold、Harris Architects、PEDCO、Woolpert、BCE Engineering和辛辛那提大学合作参与完成的项目。这是Henning Larsen纽约事务所于2018年底成立以来完成的第一个项目。该事务所目前正在北美各地开展项目，其中包括位于加拿大埃托比科克的一个市政中心，以及位于明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯的一个多功能办公空间。
The Lindner College of Business was designed by Henning Larsen and completed in collaboration with KZF Design, BuroHappold, Harris Architects, PEDCO, Woolpert, BCE Engineering, and the University of Cincinnati. The project is the first to be completed by Henning Larsen’s New York office, which opened in late 2018. It is currently working on projects across North America, among them a civic center in Etobicoke, Canada and a mixed-use office in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
