Victoria Gate 拱廊街

由ACME设计的维多利亚门拱廊 “Victoria Gate Arcade” 赢得了2017年世界建筑节 ”WAF“ 奖，其类别为：购物-竣工建筑。
维多利亚门拱廊位于壮丽的维多利亚购物区旁，该购物区由弗兰克·马奇姆 “Frank Matcham” 于1900年建造。维多利亚地区的发展源于20世纪70年代和90年代东部利兹市中心废弃场地的几个取消方案。
我们2011年的维多利亚总体规划旨在通过增加新的零售、休闲、餐饮、酒店和住宅用途来振兴城市中心的这一部分。它将维多利亚门定位为第一阶段的关键城市街区，地理位置优越，位于现有的维多利亚购物区拱廊和新的约翰·刘易斯 “John Lewis” 百货公司之间。
新的拱廊建筑被设计为一个两层高的双拱廊，复杂的屋顶景观延续了利兹19世纪拱廊的宏伟历史。一个大型赌场位于拱廊的上方，部分悬挑在其上，形成了东盖特 “Eastgate” 的四层市政立面。
建筑物的外部演变自周围布伦菲尔德 “Blomfield” 和维多利亚时期的砖瓦建筑的19世纪和20世纪的语言，由雕塑般的褶皱砖墙构成，根据环境的需要以节奏和比例变化。
水平构图与环境保持一致：混凝土地面伴随着自然坡度，上层交替前后，以打破视觉体量。倾斜和砖块的偏移创建了深度，丰富了整体感知。砖墙的立体纹理以及如何形成褶皱和台阶，在决定用砖面预制混凝土面板形成外部立面时是一个重要因素。我们设计了一系列宽度模块，分别为七、九、十一或十三块砖头，可以以不同长度重复使用。所有的砖工都是在现场粘合完成的，完整的面板被吊装到位并约束到钢框架上。
屋顶采光窗延续了利兹的雕塑玻璃拱顶的传统。玻璃钢屋架结构的设计经过优化，使钢材截面和玻璃板尺寸尽可能大，同时消除了玻璃的扭曲和翘曲，使玻璃板尽可能大。
维多利亚门拱廊的内部设计灵感来自传统历史拱廊中一致的门面、弯曲的玻璃和图案地板。店面设计尽可能透明。从门槛到栏杆的平板玻璃是由于曲线玻璃单元的固有结构稳定性--玻璃设计为自支撑，仅从一楼板边缘获得约束。
内部拱廊地板呼应了利兹的羊毛鱼骨布纹理，这个图案已经确立了该市几个世纪以来的声誉。地板非常经济，仅使用了一种标准大小的石材，和13种廉价的中国灰色花岗岩，以创建一个动态且不重复的外观。拱廊地板呈35度倾斜，精心的细节设计使地板能够适应门槛和入口，而不会破坏图案。
吊灯是拱廊的重要组成部分，维多利亚吊灯的设计基于拱顶天窗的菱形几何形状，以及约克郡玫瑰的图案，在从下方观察灯光时可见。1.5
米高的吊灯是装饰性和功能性的，集成了特色和应急照明、摄像头、传感器和扬声器。
一个螺旋楼梯从地面蜿蜒到第三层，通往洗手间、屋顶餐厅和管理套房。染色橡木鳍形成一个包裹式的墙壁覆盖层，精心布置以实现连续的平滑面和从地面到第三层的一致节奏，以及一个过滤的21世纪岩洞的光效果。
The Victoria Gate Arcade, designed by ACME, won the World Architecture Festival (WAF) Awards 2017 for the category: Shopping - Completed Buildings.
The Victoria Gate Arcade sits adjacent to the magnificent Victoria Quarter, built in 1900 by Frank Matcham. The development of the adjacent Victoria area follows several cancelled schemes for the derelict site to the east of Leeds city centre dating from the 1970s and 1990s.
Our 2011 master-plan for Victoria aims at reinvigorating this part of the city centre with the addition of new retail, leisure, restaurant, hotel and residential uses. It defined Victoria Gate as a key urban block of the first phase, strategically located between the existing Victoria Quarter Arcades and a new John Lewis department Store.
The new arcade building is designed as a two storey, twin arcade with a complex roofscape continuing the grand history of Leeds’ 19th century arcades. A large casino is located above the arcade, partially over-sailing it and creating a four storey civic frontage on Eastgate.
The exterior of the building evolves from the 19th and 20th century language of the surrounding Blomfield and Victorian brick and terracotta buildings, and consists of sculpturally pleated brick elevations, changing in rhythm and scale to respond to the context.
Horizontal composition prevails in line with the context: the concrete ground level accompanies the natural slope, the upper level alternates backwards and forwards to break down the visual masses. The chamfer and the off-set of the bricks create depth to enrich the perception of the whole. The three-dimensional texture of the brickwork, and how we could form pleats and steps, was an important factor in the decision to form the external façade from brick-faced precast concrete panels. We devised a series of width modules of seven, nine, eleven or thirteen bricks which could be repeated in differing lengths. All the brickwork was pointed off-site and complete panels were lifted into place and restrained back to the steel frame.
The rooflight continues the tradition of sculptural glazed arcade roofs in Leeds. The design of the glazed steel roof structure was optimized for steel section and glass panel sizes, and to eliminate any twisting and warping of glass whilst keeping the panels as large as possible.
The interiors of the Victoria Gate Arcades are inspired by the use of consistent frontages, curved glass and patterned floors in traditional historic arcades. The shopfronts are designed to be as transparent as possible. Flush Glazing which from the sill to the top of the balustrades was helped by the inherent structural stability of the curved glass units -- the glass was designed to be self supporting, taking only restraint from the first floor slab edge.
The internal arcade floor echoes the pattern of Leeds’ woollen herringbone cloth, which established the reputation of the city for centuries. The floor is incredibly economical, utilising just one standard size of stone, and 13 shades of cheap Chinese grey granite to create a dynamic and non repetitive appearance. The arcade floor is sloping at 1:35, and careful detailing has enabled the floor to adjust to thresholds and entranceways without breaks in the pattern. Pendant lights are an important part of Arcades, and the Victoria pendant was designed based on the rhomboid geometry of the arcade rooflight, and the patterns of the Yorkshire Rose, which becomes visible when inspecting the light from below. The 1.5m tall pendant is decorative and functional, incorporating feature and emergency lighting, cameras, sensors and loudspeakers.
A spiral stair winds its way from ground to third floor, giving access to restrooms, roof-top restaurants and management suite. Stained oak fins form an enveloping wall cladding, carefully set out to achieve continuous flush faces and a consistent rhythm from the ground to the third floor and the light effects of a filtered 21st century grotto.
