这是由O’Donnell + Tuomey Architects设计的伦敦大学经济政治学系苏瑞福学生中心，位于伦敦大学校园中央的狭窄街道网络节点中，建筑处于St Clement车道的轴线上，创建了一个交流的公共空间。交通流线在空间上呈蝴蝶领结状的形式，在室内外的移动中形成视觉上的联系，并将行人的街头生活引入到建筑内部。折叠、倒棱、倾斜的建筑立面尊重了采光的要求，并根据街道转角处的视线角度进行了调整。砖墙表皮被折线切断，形成大面积的透明玻璃窗，方便室内与街道之间的视线交互。该设计是由多个相互依存的部分组成的连贯整体，对场地的分析是该项目设计方法的首要影响条件。该设计还考虑到与当代学生会的动态特征相适应的建筑形象，旧材料新方式的运用，材料、颜色和氛围的营造，以及穿孔砖墙立面的设计。

The site is located at the knuckle-point convergence of the network of narrow streets that characterise the LSE city centre campus. The public space at the threshold of the Student Union on axis with St Clement’s Lane, creates a place of exchange; a spatial bowtie that intertwines circulation routes, splices visual connections between internal and external movement, and pulls pedestrian street life into and up the building. We have developed a site specific sculptural concept for the architectural design. The folded, chamfered, canted and faceted façade operates with respect to the Rights of Light Envelope and is tailored in response to specific lines of sight along approaching vistas and from street corner perspectives. The surface of the brick skin is cut out along fold lines to form large areas of transparent glazing framing views in and out from street to room. Like a Japanese puzzle, our design is carefully assembled to make one coherent volume from a complex set of interdependent component parts. Our analysis of the context has uniquely influenced the first principles of the design approach.

The building is designed to embody the dynamic character of a contemporary Student Union. The complex geometries of the site provided a starting point for an unconventional arrangement of irregular floor plates, each one particular to its function and each working into the next by an intricate system of trapezoidal spatial configuration. Space flows freely in horizontal plan and vertical section, with stairs gently twisting and slowly turning to create a variety of diagonal break-out spaces at landings and crossings throughout the building.

Our design refers to the robust adaptability-in-use of a lived-in warehouse. Open work steel trusses or ribbed concrete slabs will cross the big spaces with solid wooden floors underfoot. Lightweight partitions made of clear and coloured glass and timber have sliding screens for flexibility in use. Circular steel columns prop office floors between the large span volumes and punctuate the open floor plan of the café. Stairs are made of terrazzo and plate steel. Concrete ceilings contribute thermal mass with acoustic clouds suspended to soften the sound. Every landing has a bench or built-in couch. There are no closed-in corridors. Every hallway has daylight and views in at least one direction. Every office workspace has views to the outside world. The basement floor area is lit from clerestory windows and roof lights to allow for daytime use. This building does not feel like a hotel, an office, or an academic institution. It is fresh and airy, heavy and light, open and clear, sculptural and social.

The faceted facade of the building is composed of both solid and perforated brick areas and glazed screens.The perforated planes are constructed from a single leaf of brickwork with spaces in the flemish bond pattern to allow light to both infiltrate the interior spaces and filtrate out at night to create a pattern effect. The openwork brickwork is constructed in front of glazed screens that seal the building and incorporate opening sections to naturally ventilate the building. The extent of perforation has been developed to maximise daylight into the building. The perforated masonry is supported by a series of posts which connect back to the primary concrete frame. Solid brickwork in a flemish bond pattern blends into the perforated areas where openings / daylight is required.
