高层办公 | 全玻璃立面

Rafael Viñoly建筑事务所宣布VILO大厦竣工，这是一座16层的a级办公楼，也是世界上最大的机场运营商之一Corporación am rica的新总部。这座13875平方英尺的建筑位于布宜诺斯艾利斯的Libertador大道上，既是总部，也是适应性、透明度和公民存在的框架，体现了已故Rafael Viñoly对结构清晰度和公民责任的承诺，这是他对这座城市的最后贡献。这里是VILO塔的照片（图片来源：Daniela Mac Adden）。

Rafael Viñoly Architects announces the completion of the VILO Tower, a 16-story Class A office building and the new headquarters for Corporación América, one of the world's largest airport operators. Located on Avenida del Libertador in Buenos Aires, the 13,875-square-foot development was conceived as both a headquarters and a framework for adaptability, transparency, and civic presence, exemplifying the late Rafael Viñoly's commitment to structural clarity and civic responsibility in what is his final contribution to the city.

该项目由四个全玻璃立面组成，通过弯曲的玻璃角表达了精确和轻盈，没有可见的竖框，溶解了内部/外部边界，从地面无缝地上升到天空。超大的玻璃面板连续延伸到60米高的塔上。

The project is made up of four fully glazed facades, a statement of precision and lightness articulated by curved glass corners free of visible mullions that dissolve the interior/exterior boundary, rising seamlessly from the ground to the sky. Oversized glass panels extend continuously across the tower's 60-meter elevation.

“在设计VILO大厦时，Rafael Viñoly成功地创造了一个透明和理性的建筑。它优雅地与周围环境对话，并为居住者提供了最大的布局灵活性，”Rafael Viñoly建筑事务所的合伙人Román Viñoly说。“这座建筑标志着我父亲对这座城市的最后贡献，正是这座城市让他成为了一名建筑师。设计揭示其混合结构系统的方式是我们公司致力于将逻辑置于建筑表达中心的标志。”

"In designing VILO Tower, Rafael Viñoly succeeded in creating an architecture of transparency and rationality. It elegantly dialogs with its surroundings and gives its occupants the greatest layout flexibility," said Román Viñoly, Partner at Rafael Viñoly Architects. "The building marks my father's final contribution to the city that gave him his start as an architect. The way the design reveals its hybrid structural system is a hallmark of our firm's commitment to putting logic at the center of architectural expression."

该建筑的混合结构包括一个传统的混凝土建筑（核心、柱和板）和一个两层的模块，创造了间隙层。一个雕塑般的、透明的剪刀楼梯解放了核心，鼓励连接和互动。带有悬浮夹层的双高系统创造了中间层次，最大限度地提高了可用面积，并产生了灵活和空间变化的楼板。

结构的独创性是建筑概念的一个可见部分，裸露的钢拉杆和周边的混凝土梁。该建筑拥有高性能双层玻璃窗、用于现场发电的太阳能板、低水消耗的固定装置、LED照明以及管理资源使用的综合建筑管理系统，预计将获得LEED v4核心和壳牌黄金认证。

The building's hybrid structure includes a traditional concrete building (core, columns, and slabs) with a two-story module, creating interstitial floors. A sculptural, transparent scissor stair frees the core, encouraging connectivity and interaction. The double-height system with suspended mezzanines creates intermediate levels, maximizing usable area and producing both flexible and spatially varied floor plates. Structural ingenuity is a visible part of the architectural concept, with exposed steel tension rods and perimeter concrete beams. With high-performance double-glazed windows, solar panels for on-site energy generation, low-water-consumption fixtures, LED lighting, and a comprehensive building management system to manage resource use, the building is expected to achieve LEED v4 Core and Shell Gold certification.

在街道层面，塔楼与城市紧密相连，其三层高的基地被设想为城市温室，设计用于容纳餐厅和其他公共用途。一个宽阔的悬臂式螺旋楼梯从街道入口下降到较低的公共层，在城市和建筑内部之间建立了强大的视觉和空间联系。员工设施包括一个屋顶露台与城市和河景，自行车架，更衣室，和淋浴。

At street level, the tower engages the city with a dramatic triple-height base envisioned as an urban greenhouse designed to house a restaurant and other public uses. A sweeping, cantilevered spiral stair descends from the street-level entry into the lower public level, establishing a powerful visual and spatial link between the city and the building's interior. Employee amenities include a rooftop terrace with city and river views, bicycle racks, locker rooms, and showers.

该场地毗邻Mitre铁路，靠近Río de la Plata，需要复杂的地下策略，以尽量减少干扰。基础系统的设计是为了稳定周围的基础设施和管理水的入侵，核心位置靠铁路，创造一个声学缓冲，同时保持河流景观不受阻碍。低铁玻璃肋和结构板确保了立面抗风压的性能，并创造了一个非常精致的透明外壳，这在布宜诺斯艾利斯是前所未有的成就。

Located adjacent to the Mitre railway and near the Río de la Plata, the site required complex subterranean strategies to minimize disruption. The foundation systems were engineered to stabilize surrounding infrastructure and manage water intrusion, and the core was positioned against the railway to create an acoustic buffer while keeping river views unobstructed. Low-iron glass ribs with structural slabs ensure the façade's performance against wind pressure and create a transparent envelope of exceptional refinement — an achievement previously unprecedented in Buenos Aires.
