位于MIT的工学院的翻新旨在通过使用玻璃材料和柔和的几何形状来创造柔和、空灵的氛围。这旨在激发安静的对话、集中的思考和自我反思，同时也是一个令人难忘的晚间活动场所。中央协作区域可以通过灵活的家具进行重新配置，用于活动、讲座和展览。该计划优先考虑机械通风、喷水管道和管道的分配策略，通过重新设计的夹层地板构成和加厚的外墙上的夹层空间进行。加厚的墙壁和夹层地板将通过位于空间周边的风扇盘管单元进行加热和冷却。在所需的风扇盘管上方，这个加厚的墙壁可以用来安装货架和灯光，并继续向上延伸成为一个声学石膏天花板饰面，成为一个编程包装，使现有屋顶结构完全暴露。该设计旨在创建功能和愿景空间，升级21世纪的建筑系统，设计声学隔离和阻尼，通过提供视觉连接与周围环境相关。

The Ziggurat renovation aimed to create a soft, ethereal atmosphere by using glassy materials and soft geometries for new walls. This was designed to inspire quiet conversations, concentrated thinking, and self-reflection, while also being a memorable venue for evening events. The central collaboration area can be reconfigured with flexible furniture for events, lectures, and exhibitions. The scheme prioritizes the development of a strategy for the distribution of mechanical ventilation, sprinkler piping, and conduit through a reworked mezzanine floor composition and furring space along a thickened outer wall. The thickened walls and mezzanine floor would be heated and cooled by fan coil units located around the perimeter of the space. Above the required fan coils, this thickened wall can be used to host shelving and lighting and continue upward into an acoustic plaster ceiling finish, becoming a programmed wrapper that enables the full exposure of existing roof structure. The design seeks to create functional and aspirational spaces, upgrading building systems for the 21st century, designing for acoustic separation and dampening, and relating back to the surroundings by providing visual connections.
