「Pixel 像素」是MVRDV 新近完成的一个综合开发项目，位于阿布扎比，面积达 85,000 平方米。项目包含 525 套公寓，以及零售、办公和配套设施，为阿联酋的住宅综合体设计带来了创新的模式。项目中心是一座公共广场，七座塔楼被“拆解”为露台和凸窗结构，并配置了 14 种粉彩色的瓷砖遮阳屏，灵感源自阿布扎比盛产的珍珠光泽。

Pixel, the 85,000-square-metre mixed-use development designed by MVRDV in Abu Dhabi, is now complete. The complex features 525 apartments together with shops, offices, and amenities, taking an innovative approach to designing residential complexes in the Emirates. Central to this effort is the communal plaza at the heart of the development, where the seven towers “break down” into formations of terraces and bay windows, complete with shading screens of tiles in 14 subtle pastel colours inspired by the appearance of a pearl.

「像素」是阿布扎比瑞姆岛（Reem Island）新开发的创客园区内首个完工的项目。开发商IMKAN将“像素”定位为阿布扎比的新中心，它的创新性将与附近萨迪亚特岛上的城市文化中心相媲美。“像素”的设计秉承创客园区的创新和国际化精神，提供了一种在阿联酋罕见的生活方式——强调个性和强烈的地域感、室外生活、社区精神以及朴素却引人注目的材料系统。

Pixel is the first project completed in Makers District, a new development on Abu Dhabi’s Reem Island that developer IMKAN bills as the new heart of Abu Dhabi – a creative counterpart to the city’s cultural hub on the nearby Saadiyat Island. The design capitalises on the innovative, cosmopolitan spirit of Makers District to offer an approach to living that is rare in the United Arab Emitates – with an emphasis on identity and a strong sense of place, an outdoor lifestyle, community spirit, and modest yet striking materials.

项目包括七个坐落在场地边缘且排列紧凑的中层塔楼，在场地中央形成一个中心广场。出于遮阳和通风的考虑，七座塔楼的高度各不相同，与三面环绕场地的海滨开发项目和海滩相联系。七座塔楼围合而成的中央广场构成了「像素」的社交中心，一层用于餐饮、咖啡馆和零售；二层及以上设置了更多的社区服务功能：从健身房、医疗诊所，到早教中心和创新型初创企业办公，丰富的业态功能为「像素」带来活跃而持续的生命力。

The development forms a central hub in Maker’s District, so the design’s seven compact towers are pushed to the edge of the site, their positions and heights optimised to provide shade, encourage cooling breezes, and create connections with both the waterfront developments that surround the site on three sides and the beach. Between the towers, a central plaza forms Pixel’s social centre, with restaurants, cafés, and shops soon to occupy the ground floor. Community functions – from a gym and medical clinic to an early learning centre and offices for innovative start-ups – will occupy the level above, ensuring that the buildings of Pixel are always active, and that the plaza is therefore lively throughout the day.

建筑群面向广场的立面设计为整片项目带来了鲜活生机：塔楼底部呈“像素”状，向外延伸至广场，形成露台和飘窗，将室内生活空间延伸至公共领域，鼓励居民在一年中较凉爽的月份走出门享受户外活动。下方广场上的水景和植被有助于冷却广场内的微气候，营造出更舒适的户外环境，未来还计划在「像素」顶部增加绿色屋顶。将高层公寓的私密生活与广场的公共生活有机结合，赋予项目独特的地域特征和个性，从阿联酋区域其他的住宅综合体中脱颖而出。

The façades facing this plaza are what truly bring the project to life: At their bases, the towers crumble into “pixels”, spilling out into the plaza to create terraces and bay windows. These extend the living spaces inside into the public realm, encouraging residents to enjoy the outdoors in the cooler months of the year. Water and green features in the plaza below help to cool the microclimate within the plaza, making for a more comfortable environment outdoors, with planned green roofs being added to the top of the pixels. Life in the apartments above blends with the life in the plaza, giving a sense of place to the project, and an identity which helps it stand out from other complexes in the Emirates.

项目的选材进一步强化了这种特性，朴素但不失特色。受到阿布扎比当地牡蛎养殖和珍珠产业的启发，MVRDV为「像素」设计了牡蛎般粗犷坚硬的外向的立面，向内的立面则展现出细腻的珍珠般的质感。外立面材料选用混凝土板，板材表面立体打印了艺术家 Nicole Martens 设计的牡蛎壳肌理的图案。中央广场的遮阳屏上铺设着 14 种不同色彩的瓷砖，犹如贝壳里闪闪发光的珍珠。每座塔楼都采用了特别的色彩组合，被赋予不同的个性，同时帮助人们更易识别从地下停车场到各栋楼的路线。

This identity is further reinforced by the materials used on the project that, despite a certain modesty, nonetheless grab the attention of passers-by. In a nod to Abu Dhabi’s heritage, the development is envisaged as an oyster, with a hard outer shell that sequesters a delicate pearl inside. The outer façades are made of concrete panels, imprinted with a graphic pattern designed by artist Nicole Martens that was inspired by oyster shells. Glimpsed between the towers, the shading screens of the central plaza, clad in tiles of 14 different pastel colours, give the impression of a pearl inside the shell. On the interior, this modest yet joyful approach to materials continues, with each tower adopting a colour profile that gives it a unique identity and helps to improve wayfinding from the car park below ground.

「像素」包含 525 套面积各异的公寓，从一室到宽敞的三居室单元不等。采用将不同价位的公寓混合的布局，为「像素」赋予多样性和包容性。充满活力氛围的步行广场为居住在较低楼层的人们提供了便利，与高楼层开阔视野的公寓一样令人向往。「像素」融合了不同居住群体的生活方式，包括阿布扎比本地人、外国人、大家庭、独居者、年轻人和老年人。

Pixel contains 525 apartments of varying sizes, ranging from studios to spacious three-bedroom homes. These apartments are arranged in a way that celebrates diversity, mixing more expensive units and more affordable spaces together. This is enabled by the pedestrian plaza which, with its vibrant atmosphere, offers a benefit to living on the lower levels and makes these apartments just as desirable as those nearer to the tops of the towers. As a result, the project encourages contact between people from different walks of life – expats and Abu Dhabi locals, large families and singles living alone, the young and the old.

MVRDV 创始合伙人 Jacob van Rijs 表示：“「像素」挑战了阿联酋相对固化的住宅类型。它并不是室内奢华但又千篇一律的住宅塔楼，而是让居民有机会能够体验美好的户外时光，与邻居成为朋友，邀请访客在广场的餐厅用餐。它鼓励一种愉快的、环保可持续的生活方式。”

“With Pixel, we challenged the residential typologies that have become the norm in the UAE”, says MVRDV founding partner Jacob van Rijs. “Instead of nondescript, isolated towers made palatable by a veneer of luxury finishes on the interior, Pixel makes it possible for residents to spend some time outdoors, become friends with their neighbours, to invite visitors for a meal in the restaurant in the plaza. It encourages a way of life that is not only enjoyable, but environmentally and socially more sustainable than the alternatives.”
