这是由Morphosis设计的爱默生中心。项目位于波士顿的爱默生学院。这个12.5万平方英尺的建筑已经获得了规划许可，将成为该学院培养娱乐界明星的永久场所。
这座建筑很像是Johann Otto von Spreckelsen在巴黎拉德芳斯商业区设计的大拱门，只不过更现代更具有可持续性。
新建筑有10层，外表是一个立方体，覆盖了铝制的遮阳板，并形成一个大的孔洞，用混凝土、玻璃和钢构组成。这座建筑按照LEED银级标准制造，并沿着Gordon街搭建了葡萄架，形成一个枝繁叶茂的入口，还为一座咖啡馆提供了遮挡。
建筑的边缘是住宅，核心部分是教室、行政空间，沿街还有两座零售店。此外，这里还设置了户外平台、户外教育空间以及从3楼攀爬到5楼的大型开放式楼梯。该项目将在8月中旬提交给洛杉矶市议会。

Thom Mayne's Los Angeles firm Morphosis has completed a new Hollywood campus for arts school Emerson College where a rectangular frame surrounds a curvaceous cluster of classrooms (+ slideshow).
Based in Boston, Massachusetts, Emerson is renowned for its communication and arts curriculum. Located in the heart of Hollywood, Emerson College Los Angeles (ELA) defines the college's identity in the centre of the entertainment industry and the second largest city in the United States. The new facility establishes a permanent home on Sunset Boulevard for Emerson College's existing undergraduate internship program that will extend the ELA experience to students studying in any of the seven disciplines that are offered through the School of Communication and the School of the Arts. Additionally, ELA will offer post-graduate, certificate, and professional study programs. The new facility will also host workshops, lectures, and other events to engage with alumni and the LA community.
Bringing student housing, instructional facilities, and administrative offices to one location, ELA condenses the diversity of a college campus into an urban site. Evoking the concentrated energy of East-Coast metropolitan centres in an iconic Los Angeles setting, a rich dialogue emerges between students' educational background and their professional futures.
Fundamental to the Emerson Los Angeles experience, student living circumstances give structure to the overall building. Housing up to 217 students, the domestic zones frame a dynamic core dedicated to creativity, learning, and social interaction. Composed of two slender residential towers connected by a helistop, the 10-storey square frame encloses a central open volume to create a flexible outdoor "room".
A sculpted form housing classrooms and administrative offices weaves through the void, defining multi-level terraces and active interstitial spaces that foster informal social activity and creative cross-pollination. Looking out onto the multi-level terrace, exterior corridors to student suites and common rooms are shaded by an undulating, textured metal scrim spanning the full height of the towers' interior face.
Looking to the local context, the centre finds a provocative precedent in the interiority of Hollywood film studios, where outwardly regular facades house flexible, fantastical spaces within. With rigging for screens, media connections, sound, and lighting incorporated into the facade's metal framework, this dynamic visual backdrop also serves as a flexible armature for outdoor performances. The entire building becomes a stage set for student films, screenings, and industry events, with the Hollywood sign, the city of Los Angeles, and the Pacific Ocean in the distance providing added scenery.
Anticipated to achieve a LEED Gold rating, the new centre champions Emerson's commitment to both sustainable design and community responsibility. Wrapping the building's northwest corner, a green wall underscores the towers' actively changing exterior skin. Connected to weather stations that track the local climate, temperature, and sun angle, the automated sunshade system opens and closes horizontal fins outside the high-performance glass curtain-wall to minimise heat gain while maximising daylight and views. Further green initiatives include the use of recycled and rapidly renewable building materials, installation of efficient fixtures to reduce water use by 40%, energy savings in heating and cooling through a passive valence system, and a building management and commissioning infrastructure to monitor and optimise efficiency of all systems.
