幾何與有機／人造與自然／科技與工藝
Cooler Master酷大師（訊凱國際）創客大樓，為以全球為視野，提供電腦散熱提案之科技公司其位於台灣的總部大樓。本案位於台北內湖舊宗段重劃區的中心位置，基地形狀為一正三角形，一邊長度約九十米。我們期望總部大樓可以反應當代科技與自然環境之協調與共融，在此形塑一處自然的生態環境，成為都市中的綠色島嶼。
建築設計利用幾何與自然形態之並置為訴求，將植栽、綠意與建築量體做多層次的穿插。將人的活動行為與自然作為設計關係之主要思考及辯證。在地面層退縮的兩側都有著近六米高之雙排交錯配置的喬木作為人行步道之都市開放空間，東北側的開放式下沉廣場設置了多層次景觀植栽，可以為地下一樓的餐飲休憩空間引入綠意與光線，創造另一安定之都市綠色角落。
建築主體由五個矩型量體交錯組成，地面層及五樓區域內縮而成為入口大廳及活動中庭。其主要之活動空間擁有由內而外延伸之綠色露台及不同層次的活動平台。使用穿透性高之玻璃也組成且強化了其懸挑及輕盈之量體感。建築量體與垂直之服務空間共同圍塑之三角形虛體為總部大樓之核心區域有著自然通風、採光及智慧控制之光環境，亦是辦公室的生活及學習空間。辦公室之空間組成為大跨距且模組化之平面設計可隨時因應不同之使用機能彈性區劃。
建築物外部垂直遮陽板系統與玻璃帷幕牆整合，因應日照角度及建築物方位採用了兩種不同的角度遮陽板因應；銀灰色之冲孔網目微反射著周遭環境的光線，讓建築物的表情也隨著周遭環境而改變。建築美學的構成因應著與自然環境的對話與人的活動場所自然而然地生成。
做為總部大樓的核心主體位居於五樓的三角形廣場（中庭），此處是一個以「人」為核心的生活與學習場域，亦是企業對外之展示及交流平台；中庭的空間縫隙設有自然通風的機制，上方自然光可以透過三個大小不一的橢圓型天窗宣洩而下，人可以感知戶外的陰晴變化。從五樓的主要樓層開始利用三座交錯的樓梯形成一個螺旋向上的「路徑」串聯各層的使用空間，讓總部大樓的活動有了更實質的聯繫，人與人的見面與交流可以更緊密，自然形塑總部大樓的核心價值。
Geometric and Organic / Artificial and Natural / Technology and Craft
Cooler Master Co., Ltd. is a globally-oriented Taiwanese technology company that provides computer cooling solutions. Its new Taipei headquarter, The Cooler Master Building, is located centrally in the rezoned Jiuzong Section of Taipei's Neihu District, on a site in the shape of an equilateral triangle with sides of about 90 meters. Our aim was a headquarters building that would reflect a harmonious integration of contemporary technology and the natural environment, one that could form a natural ecosystem and become a green island in the midst of its urban surroundings.
The appeal of the architectural design derives from its juxtaposition of geometrical and natural forms, in which plantings and areas of greenery complement its architectural weight and volume at multiple levels. Design relationships were based primarily on considerations of balancing nature and human activity. Outside, on two sides of the recessed ground floor, double rows of trees in staggered plantings line walkways to form an open urban space. The open, sunken square on the northeast side features landscape plantings on multiple levels, adding light and greenery to the dining and rest areas of the first underground level and creating another tranquil green urban corner.
The building's main body consists of five staggered rectangular volumes. The ground floor and the fifth floor are recessed to form an entrance hall and an activity court. The main activities spaces include a green terrace, extending from the interior to the exterior, and activity platforms on different levels. The use of high-transmission glass creates lightness and grace while enhancing the cantilever effect.
The building's volume and its vertical service spaces together form a virtual triangular body, which is the central area of the headquarters building. This area features natural ventilation, lighting and intelligent control of the light environment, while providing at the same time the living and learning spaces of the office.
The office space is organized over a large span of floor area, with modular units that can be flexibly divided to serve different functions at different times.
The vertical sunshade system on the exterior is integrated with the glass curtain wall; the sunshades are oriented at two different angles in consideration of the angle of the sunlight and the building's positioning. The silver-grey perforated mesh subtly reflects the changing light of the surrounding environment, allowing the appearance of the overall structure to change in harmony with its surroundings.
The architectural aesthetics of this structure arose naturally as a response to the desire for a dialogue with the natural environment and a setting for human activities.
The principal part of the headquarters building is located in the fifth floor's triangular square, or central court. This is a living and learning area, focused on people, as well as a platform for exhibitions and communication with the public. The narrow gaps in the court's spaces equip it with a natural mechanism for ventilation, while three oval skylights of different sizes create a flow of natural light from above into the spaces below, allowing people can sense whether the sky is cloudy or sunny. Beginning from the main level of the fifth floor, three staggered staircases form a spiral path that leads upward to link the usable spaces of each level, forming substantial connections between the activities taking place within the headquarters. This aspect of allowing closer meetings and interactions between people gives natural shape to the core values of this headquarters building.
