Angelini集團于2011年在智利天主教大學投資了一座創新中心，旨在鼓勵知識和技術的創新并找到他們的商業機會，提高資源效率和增強國家競爭力。 智利建筑事務所Elemental負責設計這座UC創新中心，他們認為在這個建筑中需要將四種方式的工作形式交叉融合：正式工作形式，非正式工作形式，個人工作形式以及集體工作形式。 　　來自建筑師 form the architect: 　　In 2011, Angelini Group decided to donate the necessary funds to create a center where companies, businesses and more in general,demand, could converge with researchers and state of the art university knowledge creation. The aim was to contribute to the process　of transferring know-how, identifying business opportunities, adding value to existing resources or registering patents in order to　improve the country’s competitiveness and consequently its development. The Universidad Católica de Chile would host such a center and allocated a site in its San Joaquin Campus.

Elemental告訴gooood，他們認為人們想創造知識時，面對面的交流方式乃是無以倫比，為此他們在建筑的公共空間里都設置了休息桌椅，增大人群的接觸和信息分享機會。建筑中心開放的中庭直達最頂層。在中庭的處理上，他們使用了同通常辦公建筑相反的處理手法。Elemental繼續對gooood說到："通常的辦公建筑四周幕墻相當開放，內部的交通核心則封閉。我們完全相反，內部十分開放，同時較封閉的外立面有助于節能。" 　　Our proposal to accommodate such goals was to design a building in which at least 4 forms of work could be verified: a matrix of formal and informal work crossed by individual and collective ways of encountering people. In addition to that, we thought that face to face contact is unbeatable when one wants to create knowledge, so we multiplied throughout the building the places where people could meet: from the elevator’s lobby with a bench where to sit if you happen to run into somebody that has interesting information to share,to a transparent atrium where you can sneak into what others are doing while circulating vertically, to elevated squares throughout the entire height of the building.         The reversal of the typical office space floor plan (replacing the opaque core with transparent curtain wall glass perimeter by an open core with the mass strategically opened in the perimeter) responded not only to functional reasons but to the environmental performanceand character of the building as well.

客戶要求建筑造型十分現代，絕不能和那些常見的玻璃盒子落入一個俗套，同時又要應對當地炎熱的沙漠氣候，減少對空調的依賴。建筑師采用厚重的混凝土外表皮保護建筑內部，立面開窗均向后退，避免陽光直射，同時開窗設計允許空氣對流，通過這樣做，建筑的能耗只有45千瓦每平方米，而在當地，這個數字的平均值是120千瓦每平米的能耗。不透明的外觀不僅造型特別，也十分節能，同時還保護建筑免收過強光線的照射。 This building had to respond to the client’s expectation of having an innovation center with a “contemporary look”, but the uncritical search for contemporariness has populated Santiago with glass towers that due to the desert climatic local condition have serious greenhouse effect in interiors. Such towers spend a huge amount of energy in air conditioning. The way to avoid undesired heat gains is not rocket science; it is enough to place the mass of the building on the perimeter, have recessed glasses to prevent direct sun radiation and allow for cross ventilation. By doing so we went from 120 kW/m2/year (the consumption of a typical glass tower in Santiago) to 45kW/m2/year. Such an opaque facade was not only energetically efficient but also helped to dim the extremely strong light that normally forces to protect interior working spaces with curtains and blinds transforming in fact, the theoretical initial transparency into a mere rhetoric. In that sense the response to the context was nothing but the rigorous use of common sense.

Elemental建筑師還認為創新中心的形象一定要避免過時，不能是風格還是功能的過時，而他們的設計，極為純粹，清晰，直接。這種設計就是最靈活的，具有極強的適應力“，Elemental對gooood如是說道：”該建筑的嚴整幾何造型與極為統一的整體性將抵御風格與風潮的變遷，成為永恒之作。 On the other hand, we thought that the biggest threat to an innovation center is obsolescence; functional and stylistic obsolescence. So the rejection of the glass facade was not only due to the professional responsibility of avoiding an extremely poor environmental performance, but also a search for a design that could stand the test of time. From a functional point of view, we thought the best way to fight obsolescence was to design the building as if it was an infrastructure more than architecture. A clear, direct and even tough form is in the end the most flexible way to allow for continuous change and renewal. From a stylistic point of view, we thought of using a rather strict geometry and strong monolithic materiality as a way to replace trendiness by timelessness.
