整体设计与城市文脉的融合：麦考特公共政策学院项目最令人称道之处在于其对城市文脉的精准把握。RAMSA的设计团队巧妙地将新建筑融入了华盛顿特区的城市肌理中，建筑的体量、尺度和材料都与周边的建筑形成了和谐的对话。外立面采用石材、金属板和玻璃幕墙的组合，既体现了现代感，又与周围建筑的经典风格相呼应。垂直鳍片和遮阳板不仅具有功能性，减少阳光直射，优化热性能，更在立面上创造了富有韵律的视觉效果，与周围建筑的窗户排列形成微妙的呼应，体现了对周边环境的尊重和对细节的极致追求。

内部空间的创新与互动性：该项目在内部空间的设计上展现出极高的智慧。流动楼梯的设计是点睛之笔，它打破了传统的垂直交通模式，迫使人们在不同空间穿梭，从而促进了师生之间的交流和互动。这种设计理念契合了学院培养跨学科合作和包容性学术社区的目标。礼堂和屋顶露台的设计，也为学院提供了举办大型活动和讨论的场所，方便了政策制定者与师生之间的互动。内部空间的设计充分考虑了教育和交流的需求，体现了以人为本的设计理念，创造了一个充满活力和联系的学术环境。

可持续性和艺术装置的巧妙结合：项目对可持续发展的重视是其又一亮点。追求LEED白金级认证，体现了对环境保护的承诺。更令人惊喜的是，建筑师与艺术家玛雅·林的合作，为建筑注入了独特的艺术性和文化内涵。玛雅·林设计的装置艺术，如“波托马克河之踪”和“气象鸟”吊灯，将自然元素融入建筑，引发人们对环境的思考，增加了空间的趣味性和互动性。屋顶花园的设计，也为人们提供了亲近自然的场所。这种将可持续性、艺术和建筑完美结合的设计手法，使该项目成为一个具有人文关怀和前瞻性的建筑典范。

Robert A.M. Stern Architects (RAMSA) has designed a new flagship building for Georgetown University's McCourt School of Public Policy located on the Capitol Campus in downtown Washington, D.C. This new building, covering an area of 150000 square feet, is located at 125 E Street in the northwest district and serves as an academic center for students, faculty, researchers, and the broader policy-making community active in the capital. The building features extensive educational and community spaces, including 20 classrooms, a spacious main public area, academic offices, a 400 person auditorium, a large rooftop terrace with panoramic views of the United States Capitol, and a 280 person venue. As an academic center dedicated to addressing complex national and international challenges, the McCord School of Public Policy prioritizes sustainability and energy efficiency and aims to achieve LEED Platinum certification. In addition, a series of original site-specific installations created by architect, designer, artist, and sculptor Maya Lin encourage building users to reflect on their natural environment.
罗伯特·A·M·斯特恩建筑事务所（Robert A.M. Stern Architects，简称RAMSA）为乔治城大学位于华盛顿特区市中心国会校区（Capitol Campus）的麦考特公共政策学院（McCourt School of Public Policy）设计了一座新的旗舰大楼。这座占地 150000 平方英尺的新建筑位于西北区E街125号，是学生、教职员工、研究人员以及活跃于首都的更广泛的政策制定界人士的学术中心。大楼内设有广阔的教育和社区空间，包括 20 间教室、一个宽敞的主公共区域、学术办公室、一个可容纳400人的礼堂以及一个带有美国国会大厦全景视野的大型屋顶露台和一个可容纳 280 人的场地。作为致力于应对复杂的国家和国际挑战的学术中心，麦考特公共政策学院将可持续性和能源效率放在首位，并旨在获得 LEED 白金级认证。此外，建筑师、设计师、艺术家兼雕塑家玛雅·林（Maya Lin）创作的一系列原创场地特定装置鼓励大楼使用者思考他们的自然环境。

As the flagship building of the Congress campus, McCord College complements Georgetown University's presence in the city center and is a harmonious extension of the context. This cube shaped building, wrapped in stone, metal panels, and glass curtain walls -125 E Street, Northwest District - continues the form and scale of its surrounding buildings. Vertical fins and sun visors - mainly used to reduce sunlight exposure and optimize thermal performance - decorate the building facade with protruding lines, echoing the neat and uniform perforated windows of the adjacent 500 First Street in the northwest district. However, the building of McCotter College located at 125 E Street in the northwest district has introduced new visual interest through the interaction of metal, stone, and glass.
作为国会校区的旗舰建筑，麦考特学院与乔治城大学在市中心的存在相得益彰，是上下文语境下的和谐延伸。这座由石头、金属板和玻璃幕墙包裹的立方体建筑——西北区 E 街 125 号，延续了其周边建筑的形态和尺度。垂直鳍片和遮阳板——主要用于减轻阳光照射并优化热性能——以凸出的线条装饰建筑立面，与相邻的西北区第一街 500 号整齐划一的穿孔窗户相呼应。然而，麦考特学院位于西北区 E 街 125 号的建筑通过金属、石头和玻璃的相互作用引入了新的视觉趣味。

The internal architectural design of the McCord School of Public Policy is influenced by the unique educational opportunities brought about by its geographical location, which is close to major policy-making institutions in the United States, such as the United States Capitol and the Supreme Court. A broadcasting auditorium with a capacity of 400 people and a rooftop venue with a capacity of 280 people can host major policy makers and practitioners to discuss important issues related to national and international policy-making. The design of the building promotes organic interaction and chance encounters to cultivate a strong, interconnected, and inclusive academic community. Starting from the double layered high door hall filled with light, a "flowing staircase" connects the nine floors of the building. However, this staircase does not directly wind up, but crosses the building, requiring teachers and students to pass through various spaces when heading to the office or classroom. This staircase serves as an architectural expression of the school's interconnected community, resisting the formation of academic islands or hierarchical systems around the location.
麦考特公共政策学院的内部建筑设计受其地理位置所带来的独特教育机会的影响，即其靠近美国主要的政策制定机构，如美国国会大厦和最高法院。一个具有广播功能的可容纳 400 人的礼堂和一个可容纳 280 人的屋顶场地可以接待主要的政策制定者和从业者，就国家和国际政策制定相关的重要议题进行讨论。大楼的设计促进了有机互动和偶然相遇，以培养一个强大、相互关联且包容的学术社区。从充满光线的双层高门厅开始，一座“流动楼梯”连接了大楼的九层。然而，这座楼梯并非直接蜿蜒而上，而是横穿大楼，要求师生在前往办公室或教室时穿过各种空间。这座楼梯作为学校互联社区的建筑表达，抵制了围绕地点形成学术孤岛或等级制度。

The series of installations created by Maya Lin Studio called "Mapping Our Place in the World" inject vitality into indoor spaces, allowing residents to root in their local areas and prompting them to reflect on their connection to the broader world. Following the Potomac "is a glass marble installation on the ceiling, shaped like an aerial view of the Potomac River basin. In the main public area, a series of weather changing chandeliers called "Whether Birds" change color according to the presence of sunlight, clouds, snow, or rain. The directional speakers above the main staircase will play audio recorded in local waters, wetlands, forests, and grasslands at different times of the day and year. Lin also participated in the design of building roof landscapes. The Sky Garden is an outdoor terrace with an oval pool and native plants. It provides an opportunity for quiet dialogue and relaxation, while praising the regional ecology and framing the view of the United States Capitol.
玛雅·林工作室创作的一系列名为“定位我们在世界中的位置”（"Mapping Our Place in the World"）的装置为室内空间注入了活力，让居住者扎根于当地，促使他们思考自己与更广阔世界的联系。“波托马克河之踪”（"Following the Potomac"）是一件天花板上的玻璃弹珠装置，其形状类似于波托马克河流域的鸟瞰图。在主公共区域，一系列名为“气象鸟”（"Whether Birds"）的随天气变化的吊灯会根据阳光、云朵、雪或雨的存在而改变颜色。主要楼梯上方的定向扬声器会播放在一天中的不同时间和一年中的不同时间在当地水域、湿地、森林和草原录制的音频。林还参与了建筑屋顶景观的设计。“天空花园”（"The Sky Garden"）是一个带有椭圆形泳池和本土植物的户外露台。它为安静的对话和休憩提供了机会，同时颂扬了区域生态，并框定了美国国会大厦的视野。
