60m × 60m General Space—The building is a seven-story structure with a total floor area of approximately 46,000 square meters. By dispersing vertical circulation routes and equipment rooms along the north-south axis, a 60m × 60m general space is formed at the center of each floor to accommodate the expansion and evolution of research activities. Service balconies are provided around the building perimeter to allow for future modifications and extensions. This design shortens ductwork and piping lengths while also considering evacuation routes and ease of short-term and long-term maintenance. These balconies, together with the louvers, also provide shading.
60 米 × 60 米通用空间——该建筑为七层结构，总建筑面积约 46000 平方米。通过沿南北轴线分散布置垂直交通路线和设备用房，在每层中心形成一个 60 米 × 60 米的通用空间，以适应研究活动的扩展和演变。建筑周边设有服务阳台，可满足未来改造和扩建的需求。这种设计在缩短风管和管道长度的同时，还兼顾了疏散路线以及短期和长期维护的便利性。这些阳台与百叶窗一起，还能提供遮阳功能。

Light Wing Louvers Reflect the Environment—The building's unique light wing louvers are optimized using advanced simulation techniques to reduce solar radiation load, inspired by the characteristic lines in automotive design. They embody the advanced functionality expected of a mobility company, creating an iconic appearance with optimal environmental performance. To address the intense afternoon sun on the west facade, a computational design strategy was employed to derive the optimal solution from countless patterns. Key factors included the projection depth of the balconies, the density, angle, and shape of the vertical louvers. The perforated openings of the light wings softly scatter natural light indoors while reducing glare, with attention paid to visual aesthetics.
