[White arkitekter ab] 斯德哥爾摩水岸中心Stockholm Waterfron
編輯／蘇琨峰 圖文／White arkitekter abWojtek Gurak 提供
2011年開幕啟用的斯德哥爾摩水岸中心（Stockholm Waterfront），其創新的現代化外觀不僅讓瑞典首都晉身為國際會議中心之列，更成了歐洲獨特的著名景點。而斯德哥爾摩水岸中心也趁著位於市中心的優勢地點位置之利為當地帶來更多舉行國際性活動及觀光客的機會。

斯德哥爾摩水岸中心裡尚包含了一處能容納3,000人的會議中心、一間容納2,000人的宴會廳、一間擁有414間客房並可一覽周圍Riddarfjarden海灣的四星級酒店及斯德哥爾摩會議大樓景色，以及一處可欣賞市區全景的辦公區。不僅如此，斯德哥爾摩水岸中心更位於舊歷史城區，以及Vasagatan 與 Kungsholmen區熱鬧的商業中心之間；有趣的是，水岸中心就座落在當地的斯德哥爾摩地鐵站上方。

要在基地面積不大的三角形區域內興建可滿足3,000人的會議中心是件令人傷透腦筋的事。於是事務所將斯德哥爾摩水岸中心設計成三處空間，將大空間的辦公區設計在Klarabergsgatan街處，會議中心則設計在Riddarfjärden沿岸且使用了可移動的座椅以使得空間可同時多用，而飯店則規劃在上述兩空間的中間處並直通會議中心。在會議中心入口處的天穹線條設計，也如同為斯德哥爾摩劃上了一條美麗的天際線。專案其中一位建築師Hans Forsmark表示，水岸中心就像是在建築與科技下所設計出的高科技拼圖，在限制中創造出最大的可能性。

會議中心上方的設計更是精彩，就像是一個極具動感的自由形體盤旋在天橋及碼頭上。1,500人的座位可迅速轉換成兩個獨立的空間，較低的區域設計了像是電影院式的座位。必要時，這些座位也可迅速地收起讓大廳成為一處可容納2,000人的宴會廳。水岸中心最外層為使用了3,500片Z字型不?鋼材質所組成外牆，在燈光照射下則更突顯出其獨特的外觀。

負責設計斯德哥爾摩水岸中心的White Arkitekter建築事務所自2005年起便開始著手規劃，並與業主Jarl Asset Management在過程中合作密切。專案主建築師Bengt Svensson也提到，雖然專案的複雜度高，但過程中彼此間的目標一致、方向清楚，讓專案能順利如期完成。

除了功能齊全外，斯德哥爾摩水岸中心更獲得綠建築獎（Green Building）的殊榮。水岸中心的玻璃外表有著太陽能板的功能，而建物冷卻系統的水源便是取自附近的Klara Sjo湖。屋內各區域所需的能源使用轉換則是由先進的中控系統控制以減少不必要的能源浪費。

With Waterfront, Sweden’s capital city is now ready to join the major league in the world of international conferences. The congress centre with its innovative design solutions is providing Stockholm with a venue that will be unique in Europe. Courtesy by Wojtek GurakCourtesy by Wojtek Gurak
When Stockholm Waterfront opens in early 2011, it will provide some completely new opportunities to attract global events and visitors to one combined facility in a virtually unique position right in the heart of the city. The facility as a whole comprises a congress hall with accommodation for 3000 delegates (and a banqueting hall to seat 2000 dinner guests), a four-star hotel with 414 rooms, half of which have an enchanting view of Riddarfjärden bay and Stockholm City Hall, and an office block with panoramic views over the water and city.Courtesy by Wojtek GurakCourtesy by Wojtek Gurak
Its architecture and interpretation has been White’s responsibility since 2005. With our client, Jarl Asset Management, we have used our combined strengths to move the project forward until Jarl Asset Management was awarded the assignment after competing with several well-established major construction companies.Courtesy by Wojtek Gurak
“We have worked very well together throughout the process,” says Bengt Svensson, the responsible architect for Stockholm Waterfront. “Of course, it is a complex process, involving a great many decisions along the way. Throughout this time, we have been able to rely on a shared vision that has been clear and established throughout the entire project. There has never been any doubt about where we have been going.” Courtesy by Wojtek Gurak
Today, Stockholm Waterfront is in the best possible position, right at the dividing line between the charming view over historic parts of the city and the new dynamic heart of the business district which is emerging between Vasagatan and Kungsholmen. The new complex forms a span over the railway area towards Kungsholmen. Courtesy by Eson Lindman
The original triangular site provided limited options. How was such a huge requirement to be accommodated in such a limited area?
The key to success lay in subdividing it all into three properties. A “palatial office” on Klarabergsgatan, lower down a congress facility on Riddarfjärden, and between these a hotel block forming a dramatic backdrop to the congress centre.Courtesy by Eson Lindman
“It might well be said that we were successful in bringing in the entire programme on a severely limited area,” states Hans Forsmark, who was one of the architectural driving forces throughout the project’s genesis."To fit the entire contents into this restricted site, the congress hall corbels out over the entrance plaza, becoming much larger than its own footprint on the ground.
“We have based everything on a simple principle in which the buildings on the north side have been allowed to grab the height, and from there it slopes down towards the lower platform, right next to the water.”Courtesy by Eson Lindman
The upper part of the congress hall will also be spectacular – a free form interacting with movement on the flyovers and quays around the building. The upper seating assemblies seat 1,500 people and allow rapid conversion into two separate halls. The lower section of the hall can add a similar number of visitors in cinema-style seating. Alternatively, the lower seating assemblies can quite simply be retracted to provide space for 2,000 banquet guests.Courtesy by Eson Lindman
3000 guests can come together here in a 20,000 m2 volume with almost unlimited opportunities for flexibility. White’s architects and engineers have achieved technical solutions that have permitted the balancing of an apparently impossible equation by means of movable seating, multi-use areas and a large part of the congress hall being suspended outside the confines of the site, like an enormous canopy over the entrance. The upper seating assemblies accommodate 1,700 people and allow rapid conversion into two separate halls. The lower section can either add 1,300 visitors in “cinema seating”, or provide seating for 2000 banquet guests at a mere push of a button. The large congress hall is complemented by additional conference rooms on the two lowest floors with capacity for 1200 people in various sizes of room.Courtesy by Eson Lindman
“The congress centre is the result of an advanced jigsaw puzzle which has taken architectural solutions and technological possibilities to their limit,” says Hans Forsmark.
In spite of this it is the external appearance of the congress centre that is going to arouse most attention, with its upper section configured in free flowing contours which interplay with the movement in both the surrounding flyovers and the horizontal lines of the quays.
The permanent outer shell is enclosed by “veils” constructed from 3500 z-profiles in stainless steel and fitted at a distance from the wall. The design has also been prepared for illumination, which is going to further enhance the centre’s distinctive character.Courtesy by Eson Lindman
When it comes to the environment, the entire Stockholm Waterfront is going to be awarded Green Building certification. The glass façades will act like huge solar collectors and cooling capacity will be produced using water from the nearby lake, Klara Sjö, and stored in the 250 tonne basement ice store. The energy is constantly being transferred between the various parts of the building – from surplus to deficit and all controlled by the property’s advanced media centre. Parts of the old mail terminal have been re-used. The areas that have been retained include the entire foundation and the carcass up to the level of Klarabergsgatan.Courtesy by White arkitekter abCourtesy by White arkitekter abCourtesy by White arkitekter abCourtesy by White arkitekter abCourtesy by White arkitekter abCourtesy by White arkitekter abCourtesy by White arkitekter abCourtesy by White arkitekter ab
