联合中心是一座没有场地的塔。它在车站街上方升起，横跨通行权，让人流和车辆稳定地通过下方畅通无阻。因此，传统上构成中央核心的成排电梯已被移到建筑物的周边，从而腾出楼板以实现最大的内部连通性和开放性。由于电梯组现在是实际的立面，电梯和竖井都用玻璃覆盖，形成一种双层玻璃立面，用于人们从街道到屋顶的垂直流动。坐在办公桌前，妳可能会看到一只鸟、一架飞机或一辆满载人的出租车经过。每排电梯到达特定楼层的典型级联电梯图，现在像垂直循环的巨型玻璃楼梯一样在立面上公开表达。到了晚上，点亮的电梯舱变成了垂直的脉冲，在幕墙上上下移动。一个主要的音乐会场地悬挂在车站街上方，利用了开放式楼板。上面，一个像素化的分层梯田公园形成了这座城市最大的屋顶花园，位于城镇的顶部。

“我喜欢每一天。”丹·特瑞尔写道。不是星期天，也不是假期——而是每天。这个世界本来就已经非常有趣了，我们建筑环境的日常方面是我们能找到的最令人振奋的东西。我们不必想出任意的艺术表达来使建筑令人兴奋。我们所要做的就是观察、倾听和了解正在发生的事情——并让它展示出来。

建筑就像肖像画。肖像的成功不仅在于艺术家的自我表达能力，更在于艺术家表达主体的能力。肖像画不仅仅是它的外观，它捕捉到了主题、场地或节目的性格和灵魂。作为肖像画的建筑暴露了结构的骨架，并颂扬了人流的奇迹，以揭示隐藏的景观和未来的潜力。

世界已经如此习惯于形式和内容的分离，硬件与软件的分离。建筑已经变得像 iPhone 一样——一个空的容器，一个无聊的盒子——只有在你插入一个程序后才会变得栩栩如生。我们都经历过一个看起来比最终作品更令人兴奋的建筑工地，就像饼干面团的味道比饼干更好——混凝土骨架、螺柱的花丝、通过未完成结构的 X 射线揭示接近和关系——只有涂完最终饰面且油漆干燥后消失。

通过暴露内部发生的事情——就像揭示时钟性能的内部机制变成了形式，而表面揭示了潜在的深度。我们想要将建筑内部的生命、能量和运动展现在外部。让我们通过围绕他们的生活方式重新布置他们的家来展示居民的个性。让我们把建筑的内容变成它的形式。让我们表达一下工作变成生活的地方。让我们揭示，所有的高层建筑都像塔楼相互嵌套的套娃，混凝土核心隐藏在玻璃容器中。让我们庆祝在城市中心垂直移动的眩晕。

世界是一个巨大的城市实验室。 80 亿人每天都在尝试如何过上最好的生活。让我们抵制把生活装进一个通用的模具——一种千篇一律的解决方案，通过延续对世界应该是什么样子的先入为主的观念，就像愤怒的婴儿把一个圆钉锤进一个方孔一样。我们有远见，看到生活的本来面目和发展，并以最明目张胆的方式展示它。把实用变成诗。创造不平凡的不凡。
"I love the everyday." wrote Dan Turell. Not Sunday nor the holidays--but the everyday. The world is already incredibly interesting as it is, and the everyday aspects of our built environment are the most exhilarating things we'll ever find. We don't have to come up with arbitrary artistic expressions to make architecture exciting. All we have to do is look, listen, and learn about what is going on -and let it show.

Architecture is like portraiture. The success of a portrait lies not only in the artist's capacity for self-expression, but also in the artist's abilitv to express the subject. Portraiture is more than its mere appearance, it captures the character and soul of the subject, the site, or the program. Architecture as portraiture bares the bones of the structure, and celebrates the marvel of human flows to reveal the hidden spectacle and future potential.

The world has become so used to the segregation of form and content, of hardware vs. software. Architecture has become like the iPhone -an empty container, a boring box-that comes to life only once you insert a program. We have all experienced a construction site that looks more exciting than the final work, like the cookie dough tasting better than the cookie- the concrete skeleton, the filigree of studs, the X-ray through the unfinished structure revealing proximities and relationships - that only disappear after the final finishes are applied and the paint is dry.

By exposing what happens inside - like revealing the inner mechanisms of a clock-performance becomes form, and surface reveals underlying depth. We want to give the gift of exposing the life, energy, and movement inside a building on its outside. Let's show the personality of the inhabitants by rearranging their homes around their lifestyles. Let's turn the content of the building into its form. Let's express where working becomes living. Let's reveal that all high-rises are like Matryoshkas of towers nested within each other, the concrete core hidden within a glass container. Let's celebrate the vertigo of vertical movement in the middle of a city.

The world is one giant urban laboratory. Eight billion people experimenting everyday how to best live their lives. Let's resist fitting that life into a universal mold-a one-size-fits-all solution by perpetuating preconceived notions of what the world should look like, like the angry infant hammering a round peg into a square hole. We have the vision to see life as it is and as it evolves, and to show it in the most blatant way possible. To turn practicalities into poetry. To create the extraordinary out of the ordinary.
