In order to highlight thecorporateculture and individualidentity,both the external visual expression and the internal rhythm are of particular importance. Simple geometric features and deep cultural attributes are the first choicesfora simple and evocative design solution. Therefore, the most crucial design factors are 'square' and 'circle'. The square shape's angularity indicates an aggressive attitude and a vibrant determination to attack. The natural harmony of the circle encapsulates the concept of communication and coordination. The simple expression of emotion is not the ultimate goal of the design. Still, the convergence ofcorporateculture, management wisdom and headquarters functions in the design is what sublimates the emotion of the building and gives substance to the simple geometric elements.

研发中心设计为将不同特点的“方”与“圆”结合，达到“浅深各有值，方圆随所蓄”的意境，“圆”与“方”的大小、布局、衔接都是精心布置的。通过几何元素的巧妙搭配，用简洁通俗的手法传达中华传统哲学思想在企业管理中巧妙运用的智慧。通过几何元素的精准构建，运用巧妙的空间布局突显设计方案对空间融合、功能区分、建筑可持续性的关注。这种思想和设计都旨在表达总部所承载的研发、协调、领导、权衡、文化、生态的特质。研发中心设计方案不拘泥于建筑本体的内涵发掘与形象表达，还聚焦于区域内“阴阳”调和的一体化目标。

In order to combine the different characteristics of the 'square' and 'circle' and to achieve the mood of 'the depth and shape of the spring can be created freely', the 'circle' and 'square' are carefully arranged in terms of size, layout and articulation. Through the clever combination of geometric elements, the wisdom of traditional Chinese philosophical thinking in corporate management is conveyed simply and popularly. Through the precise construction of geometric elements, the clever spatial layout highlights the design solution's focus on spatial integration, functional differentiation and architecturalsustainability.The idea and the design are intended to express the qualities of research and development, coordination, leadership, balance, culture and a comfortable work environment carried by the headquarters. The design is not limited to the exploration and expression of the buildingitselfbut also focuses on the integration of the area.

设计方案试图在厂区与城市界面的内外关系上进行突破，同时刻画建筑不同于厂房的体量感与外立面。

The design scheme attempts to make a breakthrough in the internal and external relationship between the factory campus and the urban interface while portraying the sense of volume and facade of the building as distinct from the factory.

从几何类型上，利用方形塑造出严谨、刚性、易读的属性；而圆是柔和、过渡、自然的。研发中心设计作为一个厂区配套办公建筑，方形位于地块拐角边界使建筑更易于增强城市地块界面感，圆形则作为休闲区域更偏向地块内向的自然和流动。从功能上，方形体量旨在容纳办公研发人员并进行企业文化展示，打造区别于车间的办公环境，圆形体量则是厂区内的人文、休闲的配套功能。

In terms of geometric typology, the square shape the attributes of preciseness, rigidity and legibility, while the circle is soft, transitional and natural. As a factory support office building, the square is located at the corner boundary of the site making the building more likely to enhance the sense of the urban plot interface. At the same time, the circle is more natural and flows as a leisure area inward towards the plot. In terms of function, the square volume is intended to accommodate office workers and R&D staff and display corporate culture, creating an office environment distinct from the workshop. In contrast, the circular volume is a supporting function for humanities and leisure within the factory.

研发中心设计整体方案渴望打造出具有“效率”、“幸福感”、“满意度”的办公建筑。

The overall concept aspires to create an office building with "efficiency", "happiness", and "satisfaction".

研发中心设计在建筑外表面采用了大量的玻璃幕墙，主楼部分公共区域与研发区域在外立面通过不同的材质加以区分，而副楼则全部采用玻璃幕墙使得公共景观区域更加开阔，提升了建筑的自然属性，其既诠释了“方圆调和”，又使得整个建筑显得轻盈而现代。这是一种新型的办公建筑——既简单、高效，又具有标志性。

The design uses a large number of glass curtain walls on the external surfaces of the building, with the public areas of the main building and the research and development areas distinguished by different materials on the facade, while the secondary building uses all-glass curtain walls to open up the public landscape areas and enhance the natural attributes of the building. It not only interprets the "harmony between square and circle" but also makes the whole building appears light and modern. This is a new office building -- simple, efficient and iconic.

大量的玻璃幕墙与周遭用房之间形成的统一和对立，彰显建筑在群体中的主体地位。

The unity and contrast between the extensively glazed façade and the surrounding buildings underline the building's dominant position within the group.

而建筑内部空间的营造，建筑师在立方体中间由小至大挖去一个圆台，研发中心设计不仅提高了建筑内部的自然光采光，产生了一个有趣的中庭，提供了一个高品质办公环境；而且在灵活的框架内，创建了一系列的社交空间，以鼓励非正式会议、合作和终极创新。
