商業周刊-引領趨勢的報導者
Business Weekly – Reporting on Trends

面對科技快速發展,生活與工作方式皆日新月異的時代,大型企業對辦公空間的使用需求也產生了質變,制式、均質的辦公場域,開始融入企業自身的文化、價值與理念,希望讓使用者在空間中體驗豐富多元的服務,接收嶄新的思考元素。創立於1987年的商業周刊迄今已有30年歷史,是華人世界第一本以財經為主題的周刊,也是台灣最具影響力的財經雜誌。面對當今的時代變革,商周也希冀在自身工作場域創造體現對跨領域、新物種與新時代的企圖,在建構適宜文字工作者使用的辦公空間之餘,也將各類講座與共享行動工作室融會其中,營造屬於商周特有的空間文化符碼與領導時代性的精神。

In the face of the rapidly technological changes, living and working life has been changing with each passing day, therefore the demand for office space usage by large enterprises has also seen qualitative changes, as the standard office space has been closely integrated with the contemporary culture, values and concepts of the corporation itself so that users are able to experience diverse services in space, and to receive new concepts. Founded in 1987, Business Weekly has spanned the last 30 years, as it was the first weekly magazine in the Chinese-speaking world with the theme in finance and economics. It is also the most influential financial magazine in Taiwan. In the face of today's changing time, Business Weekly also hopes to create an attempt to reflect upon cross-disciplinary affairs, as a new epitome of its own era. In addition to constructing the office space suitable for writers, it will also accommodate seminars and shared office spaces in creating an office culture that is unique to Business Weekly, and the contemporary spirit of leadership.

The Spirit of Loci – Unique Expression Woven Together with Building Materials ad Techniques

針對這個極具代表性的出版企業,我們透由台灣特有的傳統建材與工法,在其辦公空間打造出承載台灣這座島嶼知識、生活、美學的迷人氛圍。偌大的室內由大量亞熱帶植栽與花藝環繞,彷彿畫上一抹新綠,象徵著創辦之初屬於開放年代的蓬勃與自由空氣。以傳統閩式紅磚砌、抿石子與藍染色彩等多元素材、工法混搭的牆面,則結合傳統鐵花窗、壓花玻璃隔屏與矩形的台灣櫸木長桌、木門,藉由豐富的色彩、材質與工法,暗喻在地豐富的建築美學發展歷程,並體現工藝年代特有的匠藝精神。

With regards to this iconic publishing corporation, the design was to create a charming ambiance of knowledge, life and aesthetics of Taiwan in this office through its unique traditional building materials and techniques. As surrounded by ample tropical plantation and flora, the spacious interior comes to symbolize the vibrancy and freedom of the open era. With the traditional Hokkien-style red bricks, pebbles, and blue-dyed colors and other materials, along with mixed-technique elevations complemented by traditional metal grille, embossed glass screen, and rectangular Taiwan eucalyptus long table, and wooden door, with rich colors, materials and techniques, as the metaphor of the enriched history of architectural aesthetics, and the spirit of the unique craftsmanship of the craft era.

行動辦公室-去中心化的工作交流場域
Mobile Office – De-Centralized Work Interaction Domain

在這個強調永續性的時代,追求整體資源的循環與延續,成為當代建築與空間解構的重要課題。順應時代的潮流,雜誌與出版業也產生許多既有編制體系外的從業人員,我們藉由場域的解放,開放性辦公室的設計手法,讓這些群體也能自然地納入的整體環境中。去中心、去組織化的空間,多重的使用方式與複合式機能,包括書店、花藝、咖啡等社交功能,一方面讓空間產生更有效率的運用,同時也創造活潑、良性的對話交流,此種無固定櫃台、座位的行動辦公理念,以空間設計形構出一個共享、流動的工作場所。除此之外,我們亦透過「商周學院講堂」的規劃,結合職場進修與終身學習的理念,將永續的精神落實在新型態的工作場域中,延續辦公空間開放、多元的活潑設計,在講堂內透由創造一個生活化、可開閡的複合空間,建構一個兼具課程、展覽、講座、招待與行動工作的當代出版辦公室。商周聚落-一個強調永續、共享、趨勢、生活的工作場所。

In this era that emphasizes on sustainability, the pursuit and the continuation of the overall resources have become an important topic in the deconstruction of contemporary architecture and space. And in line with the Zeitgeist, the magazines and publishing industry also produced many practitioners outside the existing system. Through the liberation of the discipline and the design of open office, these groups can naturally be integrated into the overall environment. For spaces that are de-centralized and de-organized, with multiple usages and composite functions, such as bookstores, flora, cafe., on one hand, allows the space to be utilized more efficiently, and also create a lively and constructive dialogue and communication. A mobile office concept without fixed tables and seats lead to a shared, mobile workplace. In addition, through the planning of the "Business Week Academy", combined with the concept of in-work and lifelong learning, the spirit of perseverance shall be channeled into the new field of work, while persevering with the open and diverse office spaces, as well as being the lecture hall that create a living, open complex space in housing a contemporary publishing office that combines curriculum, exhibitions, lectures, hospitality and mobile working. Business Weekly - A workplace that emphasizes on sustainability, sharing, trends, and life.
