对于曼谷这样的国际化城市，生活条件和空间形式都在不断进化。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。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。 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’, 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. ▼建筑外观，external view of the building
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。这里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。 ‘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. ▼由台阶和平台构成的公共空间，the public space composed by steps and platforms

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. ▼楼梯连接不同层的公共空间，public spaces on different levels connected by stairs

尽管项目想要打通立面加强通风，但是种类繁多的商店让建筑的外观看上去十分凌乱。为了解决这个问题，建筑师在上层立面上安装了一层薄薄的钢网，一定程度上消解不同商店之间的差异，创造了一个轻盈而又统一的建筑外观。同时，这层钢网满足了通风需求，并且让室内外之间可以进行视觉交流。 A building skin on the upper floors answers to another challenge. While the project wants to open up the facade for a through ventilation, the different identities of various shops on the façade would have made the building appear to be fragmented. The project applies a thin sheer steel mesh over the façade to partially mask off the differences among the shops providing a unified surface while allowing for visual transparency from the inside, a through ventilation, and the lightness appearance from the outside. ▼建筑立面使用钢网，steel mesh on the facade

中庭的顶部采用向上打光，仿佛悬浮在空中，给公共空间制造出一种安逸的氛围。铁网立面的照明时亮时暗，缓慢交替。灯光打开时，建筑的表皮被呈现在人们面前；随着灯光变暗，表皮变得透明，内部空间逐渐显现出来，明暗的变化让建筑仿佛拥有了生命。 The ceiling of ‘the Ground’ is carefully up-lighted creating a floating effect to the mass above and give a cozy atmosphere to the area. The exterior light on the meshed façade fades in and out slowly. With light, the surface of the building skin comes into presence, while when the light fades away, the façade becomes transparent and briefly reveals what is inside. It feels as if the walls could breathe and the building itself is alive. ▼夜景，night view
