*폴란드 벨차토우, 전력회사 [ FAAB Architektura Adam Białobrzeski | Adam Figurski ] PGE GiEk Concern Headquarters

반응형


폴란드 전체 에너지 생산의 40%를 차지하는 거대 에너지회사 PGE GiEK Concern의 본사 건축물은 도시문맥의 연결과 지역문화의 투영을 형상화한 건축적 특징을 보인다. 본사 건축물은 6만명이 거주하는 폴란드 벨차토우, 시내 중심가에 위치하며 지역주민들의 문화활동의 증진을 위한 저층부와 비즈니스를 위한 상층부 사무공간으로 구성된다.

천창으로 열린 센터 아트리움을 중심으로 클러스터 배치된 각 개별공간들은 리니어한 복도를 따라 연결되며 컨퍼런스 룸, 스텝키친 및 라운지 그리고 디지털 서류 출력실의 공용공간이 사무공간과 유기적으로 연결 배치된다. 특히 재미 있는 점은 본사 건축물의 외형적 특징인데, 갈탄으로 부터 전력을 생산하는 기업의 핵심이미지를 건축적 어휘를 통해 구현한다.

갈탄채굴을 은유적으로 표현하는 저층부, 그로부터 생산된 전력을 변환, 공급하는 전력케이블을 상징적으로 표현하는 상층부로 구현된다. 상층부 파사드는 다시 두개의 블랙 솔리드 -블랙시멘트 판넬-와 두개의 솔리드 사이에 생성된 반투명한 중층 공간 -불규칙적인 스틸 스트럭쳐 시스템이 외부로 투영된다.-으로 구성 된다. 여기에 솔리드 메스의 창문과 불규칙한 스틸 트러스는 전기생산 및 공급의 이미지를 은유적으로 표현하며 건축물의 파사드를 완성시킨다. 그렇게 기업의 이미지는 건축의 어휘를 통해 정렬되고 구축된다.

The building is located in the center of Poland in the town of Belchatów (60 000 inhabitants). The office building is the headquarters of PGE GiEK Concern – the largest energy producer in Poland (40% of the Polish overall electricity volume). Distinguished in the company scope is the quarry in Belchatów, one of the largest opencast lignite quarries in Europe (35 million ton of raw material yearly). One of the PGE electric power plants – also in Belchatów-  is noteworthy: producing yearly an estimated 31 trillion watt-hours (Wh) of electric energy.

The office building location is not accidental. Settled on the fringe of a housing district, with 6 000 inhabitants, it is the first element of the local service center and at once shapes the frontage of the new city plaza. A portion of the office employees, residing in the nearby area, resigned from the everyday use of private or public transportation. In a very undeniable manner, this aids in the reduction of pollution.

Within the building, apart from a wide range of office space dedicated for 230 employees, lies a cluster of conference rooms, a staff canteen/lounge and a center for the digitization of paper documents.

The form of the building was, in part, inspired by the scope of the PGE GiEK Capital Group.

Mining lignite is represented in the ground level areas, finished with rusty black slate. Production and transmission of electrical energy reflected in the upper levels: electric transmission cables characterized with black cement composite panels and electric energy (glass) running in between. The building is endowed with an atypical structural framework – upper floors are supported by a multilevel, irregular steel truss weighing 160 000 kilograms. Its implementation is a result of formal inspiration taken from mechanisms encountered in the extractive and production industries. While its dynamism recalls the movement of particles creating electric energy.

Light, specifically access to natural light, is the dominating element in the interior design for the building. An overwhelming majority of interior space is lit by natural light. This includes staircases, corridors, conference rooms as well as traditionally artificially lit areas such as print/copy rooms, employee lunch-break rooms and toilets. Close to 92% of the interior space has access to natural light, making it difficult to overestimate the quality of the office work space. The building is equipped with twilight sensor fixtures which adjust the luminosity of the artificial light to that of the natural light. This has enormous impact during morning and evening hours as well as on overcast days. Exceptional access to natural light and the use of twilight sensor fixtures result in lower electric energy consumption.

Within the framework of the project lies a recreational area for employees, including a terraced square on the ground floor and open garden terrace on level one. These features ensure the users the possibility of rest and relaxation during often very long work days. It is worth to add that the water reservoir (comprising an element of the square) is treated with the aid of a technology using minimal amounts of chemicals and has properties similar to that of natural, clean lake water. Landscaped elements are irrigated with rain water collected from the building roof, surface parking and sidewalks, to a special underground water storage tank.
