越发开放的银行
传统认知里，银行是力量、权力、安全的绝对象征，“灵活性”、“透明度”似乎并不与金融业挂钩。但时至今日，全球金融体系中约97%为数字化货币，仅余3%采用现金交易，这一变化正催生着金融建筑内部空间的变革——减少传统存储业务的空间，以腾出更多空间为金融机构展现品牌价值。‘Flexibility’ and ‘transparency’ are not words traditionally associated with the finance industry. As a typology, the bank is seen as a symbol of strength, power and security. But with 97 per cent of the money in today’s economy represented by digital deposits – leaving only 3 per cent as tangible cash – the taxonomy of space in financial buildings is being overhauled. Less floor area is given to traditional storage methods, leaving much more room for a brand’s values to shine.

意识到银行不仅是提供公共服务也是日常办公的场所，建筑师和设计师们开始尝试打破人们对于金融空间根深蒂固的传统形象，更加关注开放、社区和健康。
Recognizing that banks not only provide a public service but are also a place of work, architects and designers are challenging their impenetrable roots and instead prioritizing openness, community and wellness.
荷兰最大的银行ING集团，近期在阿姆斯特丹为2800位员工打造了一个“新家”。这座被称为“雪松”的五层建筑由Benthem Crouwel 建筑事务所和HofmanDujardin共同设计，它除了是一家银行，更是一个办公空间。ING希望通过这个项目，打造一个向社会开放的空间，去赋予建筑中的人们更多自由。ING, the Netherlands’ largest bank, recently gave 2,800 of its employees a new home in Amsterdam. Known as Cedar, the five-storey building was designed by Benthem Crouwel Architects and HofmanDujardin as more than a bank – or even an office. Instead, it is a manifestation of the brand’s purpose to ‘empower people in a building that opens itself up to society’.
建筑由流畅的曲线和大面积的玻璃幕墙构成，恰到好处地与周围环境融合，成为了积云公园（Cumulus Park）内城市空间的一部分。该公园园区也是由ING开发，是一个“创新试验区”，目前已获得了阿姆斯特丹市政府和当地一些教育机构的支持。建筑前场的大型绿化景观向用户和游客们开放，促进了金融机构与当地社区之间的联系。
Cedar’s glazed, curved form connects with its surroundings to become part of the urban space within Cumulus Park, a so-called ‘innovation district’ initiated by ING that has now gained support from the Municipality of Amsterdam and a number of local educational institutes. A large, landscaped green zone in front of the building is open to users and visitors, promoting connections between the financial institution and the neighbourhood in which it sits.
整座建筑为员工提供了自由、激发活力的工作空间，设有花园咖啡厅、咖啡馆、美食广场和多功能活动厅等丰富设施。通透而连续的空间，抵消了传统银行安全、隐秘的沉重感。采光充足的中庭形成了建筑的连接中心，楼梯和平台为自发的会议和小型社交聚会创造着全新机会。The complex is designed as a one-stop shop for staff invigoration and empowerment. Including such amenities as a garden café, coffee bars, food court and events hall, the space offers a sense of transparency and connectivity that seem to counteract the emphasis banks once placed on security and privacy. A daylight-filled atrium forms the connective heart of the building, with staircases and platforms creating opportunities for spontaneous meetings and small social gatherings.
这座大楼为员工们提供了更多选择工作地点和工作方式的自由，可以随心所欲地使用各个开放及协作性空间。即便是需要私密性时，也可以通过可移动、灵活的装置在空间中为自己创造临时“房间”。如Barbara Dujardin和 Michiel Hofman所言，他们想要致力创造一个关注幸福感的环境，“当你踏足这片空间，自由氛围迎面而来。”Given the freedom to choose where and how they work, employees can occupy ING’s various open and collaborative spaces – although mobile, flexible structures can be used to create temporary ‘rooms’ when more privacy is needed. All in all, Barbara Dujardin and MichielHofman say they created an interior that focuses on wellbeing. ‘You feel the freedom when you walk in.’
