BIG南美首作：生长与绽放，IQON住宅

设计单位  BIG建筑事务所

建成时间  2022年

项目地点  厄瓜多尔基多

建筑面积  54,000平方米

经过历时4年的建设，130米的IQON终于落成，成为厄瓜多尔首都基多（世界上海拔最高的城市之一）的最高建筑。

After four years of construction, IQON rises 130 m making it the tallest building in the Ecuadorian capital of Quito - a city with one of the highest elevations in the world.

基多在传统上是个密集的低层建筑城市，随着十多年前市中心机场的搬迁，基多的城市天际线也迎来了向高处生长的机会。2017年，Uribe Schwarzkopf委托BIG设计了一栋39万平方英尺（约36232平方米）的混合用途住宅，其中共包括215套住宅、商业单元、办公空间和各种服务设施。除IQON外，BIG与Uribe Schwarzkopf合作的另一个项目EPIQ住宅也位于附近，预计将于2023年竣工。

Traditionally a city of dense low-rise buildings, the skyline of Quito was re-imagined following the relocation of the city-center airport over a decade ago. With the skyline able to grow upwards, Uribe Schwarzkopf hired BIG in 2017 to design a 390,000 sq ft mixed-use residential building, including 215 residences, commercial units, office spaces, and a variety of amenities. In addition to IQON, BIG and Uribe Schwarzkopf's EPIQ Residences, located nearby, is slated to finish construction in 2023.

开发商Uribe Schwarzkopf创始合伙人Tommy Schwarzkopf称：“由BIG设计的IQON和由萨夫迪事务所设计的QORNER，成为基多建筑、设计与创新的基石象征。这些新建筑不仅为城市的天际线增光添彩，也是我们与世界上卓越的国际知名建筑师们合作关系的见证。随着首批住户及企业的搬入，我们期待看到每栋建筑都能焕发活力，并成为城市结构的一部分。”

“IQON (by BIG) and QORNER (by Safdie Architects) represent the ongoing transformation of Quito into a cornerstone of architecture, design and innovation. Not only do the new buildings contribute to the skyline of the city, but celebrate our partnerships with the most exciting, internationally renowned architects in the world. As the first residents move in and businesses begin to take space in the building, we are looking forward to seeing each building come to life and become part of the fabric of the city,” says Tommy Schwarzkopf, Co-Founder, Uribe Schwarzkopf.

IQON被设计成一个垂直的社区，将邻近拉卡罗莱纳公园延伸至建筑的外立面上。其有着一个鲜明的弧形拐角，被露台沿着外围层层环绕，也获得了朝向公园、城市与皮钦查火山的景致。

IQON is designed as a vertical community, and an extension of the neighboring La Carolina Park, which continues up onto the building facade. The building features a notable curved corner, wrapped by terraces that continue around the building's perimeter with views of the park, city and over the Pichincha volcano.

“层层剥离”的外观也定义了IQON的建筑特征。原始的混凝土直接裸露在外，同时也充当着建筑的结构。“像素”单元在32层的体量中堆叠、旋转，以提供最佳的景观与露台空间。建筑还以本土植物为特色，尽可能地与厄瓜多尔——世界上每平方米上植物种类最多的国家——的温和的气候及生态相结合。

IQON’s architectural identity is defined by its ‘stripped back’ façade; the raw, exposed concrete simultaneously functions as the building’s structure. Individual ‘pixels’ are stacked 32 floors high and rotated to provide the best possible views while simultaneously creating terraces for the apartments. Celebrating native trees and plants, the building integrates greenery wherever possible to take advantage of with Ecuador’s temperate climate and ecology – the country with the most plant species per square meter in the world.

BIG创始合伙人、创意总监Bjarke Ingels表示：“作为这个地球上生物多样性最丰富的区域之一，位于赤道上的基多城市充满着生活的乐趣，那里的气候对人类和植物来说都堪称完美。我们试图将基多的所有标志性品质带到IQON竖向维度上的体验中。它既是一个完整且独立的垂直住区，也从下至上完整地成为拉卡罗莱纳公园的延伸。”

“We’ve tried to take all the iconic qualities of Quito – such as the enjoyment of living in one of the most biodiverse places on the planet, in a city on the equator where the seasons are perfect for both human and plant life – and bring that experience into the vertical dimension. IQON is an entire vertical community of individual homes; an extension of La Carolina Park that now climbs all the way up to the rooftop," says Bjarke Ingels, Founder and Creative Director, BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group.

底层广场包括宽敞的公共空间、零售单元与公共艺术区域。这个中央广场作为一条东西向的全新通道，将公园与周边区域联系起来。进入大堂，材质从外观上的原始、简约过渡到一种更显精致的美感。大理石地面与定制的木质前台相得益彰，混凝土与立面的设计也相互呼应。天花、信箱都采用了深翠绿色的色调，并一致延伸至黑色铁门外的电梯厅。

The ground floor plaza includes generous public spaces, retail units, and public art. This central plaza functions as a new east-west pathway, connecting the park to the rest of the neighborhood. Upon entering the lobby, the material palette transitions from the raw, pared-back exterior to a more refined aesthetic; marble stone pavers complement the custom millwork reception desk, and concrete touchpoints nod to the façade. Deep emerald-green tones are utilized on the ceiling tiles, mailboxes, and through to the elevator lobby – an area located beyond a blackened- steel portal.

通过与建筑相连的固定花池，基多的生物亲和力从下方的公共空间一直延伸至每户家庭的私人领域中。这些花池在公寓中成为公寓中独特的混凝土雕塑，为上方露台中树根的生长流出空间，同时也将建筑立面用于展示和赞美基多的生物多样性。

Quito’s biophilia is carried from the public spaces below into the private domain of each home via the sculptural planters that are integrated into the architecture of the building. The planters become a unique concrete sculpture inside the apartments – creating space for the root zone of the tree for the apartment terrace above – while transforming the façade of the building into a celebration of Quito’s verdant biodiversity.

这栋建筑还充当了城市林场的角色：一旦花池已满足不了植物继续生长的要求，就可以将它们重新移栽到公园当中。通过这种方式，建筑已经成为绿色循环的组成之一 ——从公园到建筑，再从建筑回到公园。

The building also acts as an urban tree farm: once the vegetation planted on the terraces outgrows its planter, it can be replanted in parks all over the city. In this way, the building becomes part of a green cycle – from park to building, and back to park.

BIG合伙人Thomas Christoffersen继续补充道：“公寓每层都设有贯穿式的单元，可同时享有南北双立面的露台，不仅可以欣赏到整个城市的景色，还提供了穿堂风和开放感。”

“Each apartment floor features through-units – apartments that have terraces on both the north and south facades – which not only allows for views across the entire city, but also offers the opportunity for cross ventilation and a sense of openness,” says Thomas Christoffersen, Partner, BIG.

建筑顶部的集成式小型泳池和露台空间，为住户提供了一个放松身心和俯览城市的场所。建筑中的其他设施则包括健身房和壁球场、水疗中心、保龄球馆、娱乐室，以及一个商务中心。IQON是首座获得GBCI（绿色事业认证公司）及IFC（国际金融公司）授予的EDGE（优秀高能效设计）初期资质认证的混合用途建筑。

An integrated lap pool and terraces at the top of the building offer residents a place to relax while overlooking the city. Additional building amenities include a gym and squash court; a spa; a bowling alley; entertainment rooms; and a business center. IQON is the first mixed-use building in Quito to have a preliminary EDGE certification, granted by GBCI (Green Business Certification Inc.); and IFC (International Finance Corporation).
