位于紐約市華盛頓高地附近,Roy &Diana Vagelos 教育中心是哥倫比亞大學醫學中心的一部分,占地1萬平方米。該建筑于2016年完工,是醫學教育由被動式、講授為主向基于團隊合作、解決問題為主的教學模式轉換的典范,也是針對狹窄場地面積、錐形分區圍護結構條件的回應。醫學教育中心,因其傳統特點與機構特色決定,往往層高較低、各功能空間配套擁擠、走廊采用內廊設計。而這座14層高的玻璃塔樓,設計風格迥然不同,瀑布式“學研串聯”空間,為非正式學習與團隊協作提供了多元化的交流、學習空間,擴展了建筑南側立面校園活動范圍。空間布局寬敞,不僅包括外部露臺、階梯式休息室、個人學習空間和一個擁有275個座位的禮堂,還在可通向哥倫比亞大學全部四個醫學院的連續樓梯上打造了超大面積、可使用的樓梯平臺。與之相對,建筑北立面專門用作管控更為嚴格的專業學習空間,包括機動教室、解剖實驗室與一件模擬中心。該中心包括尸體檢驗與仿真檢驗室,旨在通過機械式訓練培養學生對患者的同理心、提升檢驗精準度。串聯空間與專業教室、實驗室相結合,為院系與學生們,提供了一系列空間體驗,既可單獨工作,也可組成小組工作,既可公開工作,也可閉門工作,既可在光照中學習,也可在陰影中學習,既可在白天、也可以在晚上的上課時間或任何其他時間學習。
Located in New York City’s Washington Heights neighborhood,the 10,000 square-meter Roy and Diana Vagelos Education Center is part of the Columbia University Medical Center.Completed in 2016,the building reflects a paradigm shift in medical education from passive,lecture-based instruction to team-based problem solving,while simultaneously responding to the site’s narrow footprint and tapered zoning envelope.In contrast to the traditional,institutional nature of medical education buildings—characterized by low-slung ceilings,densely-packed programs,and double-loaded corridors— the 14-story glass tower’s ‘Study Cascade’ extends campus activity along the south elevation of the building with a diverse network of social and study spaces for informal learning and collaboration.The wide array of spaces—which include exterior terraces,a stepped lounge,individual study spaces,and a 275-seat auditorium—also produce oversized,occupiable landings on a continuous staircase that connects the activities of all four of Columbia’s medical schools.As a counterpart,the north elevation is dedicated to more controlled,specialized learning spaces that include flexible classrooms,anatomy laboratories,and a simulation center.These include both cadaver and simulation-based examination rooms designed to foster empathy for patients and precision through robotic training.The Cascade,in combination with the specialized classrooms and labs,offers students and faculty a range of spatial experiences,with opportunities to work alone or in groups,in public or behind closed doors,in light or shadow,during school hours or any other time of day or night.
