彭博社的新歐洲總部屹立于倫敦市中心，靠近英格蘭銀行、圣保羅大教堂和圣史蒂芬大教堂。

從建筑形式、體量和材料來看，該新建筑具有獨特的地理位置和建造時間——作為這座城市的自然延伸，該建筑將融入并改善周圍公共場所的條件。建筑擁有英國BREEAM 項目建筑認證，是可持續(xù)發(fā)展的真正典范——具有所有大型辦公建筑中最高的設計階段評分。

總部由兩棟建筑組成，占地3.2 英畝，橫跨整個城市街區(qū)，兩棟建筑由橋梁連接在一起，橋上建有拱廊。漫步其上，惠特靈大道（Watling Street）盡收眼底，人們可以感受古羅馬時代的遺風。彭博拱廊現(xiàn)在是人們在城市中穿梭的關鍵路線，餐廳和咖啡館位于地面，其后是一個有頂蓋的柱廊，柱廊下為一面起伏狀的外墻。拱廊的兩端和建筑入口前建有三個公共廣場，為倫敦“Square Mile”中心區(qū)提供了全新的市民活動空間。

建筑的整個砂巖立面引人注目，立面安裝有一連串的大型青銅散熱片，遮蔽了每一層從地板到天花板的玻璃。散熱片賦予建筑視覺上的層次感和節(jié)奏感，每個立面上的散熱片都會根據(jù)朝向和日光照射情況，在大小、間距和密度上發(fā)生變化，同時這些散熱片也是建筑自然通風系統(tǒng)的一部分。

Bloomberg’s new European headquarters is respectful of its location in the heart of the City of London,close to the Bank of England, St. Paul’s Cathedral and the church of St. Stephen’s Walbrook.

In its form, massing and materials, the new building is uniquely of their place and time - a natural extension of the City that will endure and improve the surrounding public realm. It is a true exemplar of sustainable development, with a BREEAM Outstanding rating - the highest design-stage score ever achieved by any major office development.

Occupying a full city block, the 3.2-acre site comprises two buildings united by bridges that span over a pedestrian arcade that reinstates Watling Street, an ancient Roman road that ran through the site. Bloomberg Arcade is now a key route for people moving around the City, with restaurants and cafes at ground level, set back behind an undulating fa?ade under a covered colonnade. Three public plazas, located at each end of the arcade and in front of the building’s entrance, provide new civic spaces in the heart of the Square Mile.

Its striking facade is defined by a structural sandstone frame, with a series of large-scale bronze fins that shade the floor-to-ceiling glazing. The fins give the building a visual hierarchy and rhythm as they vary in scale, pitch and density across each facade according to orientation and solar exposure,while being an integral part of the building’s natural ventilation system.

藝術性是該建筑的一個核心因素，建筑內及建筑周圍的各處場所都具有特定的藝術氛圍。Cristina Iglesias的水景雕塑界定了彭博拱廊兩側的公共空間，雕塑由三部分組成，其中“被遺忘的溪流”（Forgotten Streams）是為致敬曾流經此地的沃爾布魯克河（Walbrook River）。新的彭博社大樓還將羅馬密特拉神廟的考古遺跡還原至最初發(fā)現(xiàn)的地點，增設了新的講解中心和文化中心，旨在使該遺址的歷史更加生動化，讓游客產生身臨其境之感。

彭博大樓的主入立有一扇大門，大門分隔了一個新建的城市廣場。到達主入口后，每個人都要經過接待大廳，然后進入到漩渦結構——由三個傾斜彎曲的木質殼體構成的兩層高度空間。從這里，高速、全玻璃面且具有獨特隱蔽裝置的電梯——該建筑又一創(chuàng)新設計——能夠將大家直接送往六樓。

Art plays a central role in the project, with major site-specific commissions in and around the building. Cristina Iglesias’ water sculpture in three parts, ‘Forgotten Streams’ - a homage to the ancient Walbrook River that once flowed through the site - defines the public spaces at each end of Bloomberg Arcade. The new Bloomberg building also returns the archaeological remains of the Roman Temple of Mithras to the site of their original discovery, with a new interpretation centre and cultural hub designed to give visitors an immersive experience of the temple and bring the history of the site to life.

The main entrance to Bloomberg is defined by a substantial porte-cochère, where the building forms two sides of a new formal city square. Arriving at the main entrance, everyone passes through the reception lobby before being drawn into the Vortex - a dramatic double-height space created by three inclined, curving timber shells. From here, high-speed fully glazed lifts with a unique concealed mechanism - another innovation developed specifically for the building - carry everyone directly to the sixth floor.

在六樓，兩層高的“備餐間”位于該建筑的核心位置，符合彭博社的核心理念，體現(xiàn)著共享與合作精神的對于彭博社的重要性。在穿過這個充滿活力的空間時，人們偶然邂逅，進行交談。獨特的內旋輪線階梯坡道帶有光滑且連續(xù)的三維環(huán)狀結構，貫穿建筑物上下，增加了空間的藝術效果。該坡道外部包有青銅，被設計為一個見面和碰頭的地方，讓人們能與同事進行短暫的閑談，同時又不妨礙他人走動。

團隊合作的理念融入到每一層的辦公桌和布置中。線性輻射的辦公桌可進行高度調節(jié)，呈聚集或排列分布，最多可容納6 人，兼顧個人隱私、個性化、舒適性和協(xié)同工作要素。該建筑的天花板為另一個獨特而創(chuàng)新的元素，其靈感源自紐約的壓制金屬天花板。獨特的拋光鋁板“花瓣”發(fā)揮著多重作用——天花板飾面、反光鏡、冷卻片和聲音衰減裝置——將傳統(tǒng)辦公室天花板的各種元素結合為一個節(jié)能集成系統(tǒng)。

Central to Bloomberg’s ethos, the double-height ‘pantry’ on the sixth floor is the heart of the building, reflecting the importance of sharing and collaboration at the company. Everyone passes through this animated space, increasing the likelihood of chance meetings and informal discussions. A distinctive hypotrochoid stepped ramp, characterized by its smooth continuous threedimensional loop, flows through the full height of the building, adding to the drama of the space. Clad in bronze, the ramp is designed and proportioned as a place of meeting and connection, allowing people to hold brief impromptu conversations with colleagues, whilst not impeding the flow of people.

The notion of teamwork and collaboration flows into the desking systems and layout of each floor. Bespoke height adjustable, radial desks are laid out in clusters and pods for up to six people, allowing for privacy, personalization,wellbeing and collaborative working. The ceiling is another unique and innovative element developed for the building, inspired by the pressed metal ceilings of New York. Its distinctive polished aluminium panels of ‘petals’ perform multiple roles - ceiling finish, light reflectors, cooling elements and acoustic attenuation - combining various elements of a typical office ceiling into an energy-saving integrated system.
