New London Architecture calls on UK government to provide affordable workspaces

由专筑网逸希，韩平编译

根据新伦敦建筑学论坛的一份新报告，政府必须优先考虑能够负担得起的工作空间的新模式，以确保伦敦维持其作为商业中心的“全球竞争力”。

该报告是新伦敦建筑学论坛（NLA）的WRK / LDN 视野研究的一部分 - 新伦敦建筑学是一个独立的论坛，用于讨论和辩论有关建筑和建筑建设资金的问题。

它为伦敦市如何保护其现存商业和工业场地提出了一些方法，同时也确保创建足够的工作空间用来满足日益增长的数字化商业的需求。

The government must prioritise new models of affordable workspaces to ensure that London maintains its "global competitiveness" as a centre of commerce, according to a new report by New London Architecture.
The report is part of the WRK / LDN Insight study by New London Architecture (NLA) – an independent forum for discussion, debate and information about architecture and construction in the capital.
It addresses ways for London to protect its existing commercial and industrial sites, while also ensuring the sufficient creation of workspaces to meet demand from growing digital businesses.
   


作为研究的一部分，NLA调研了一些工作区域在资金方面的发起和计划，例如在199 Bishopsgate Kitchen的hotdesking WeWork工作空间。

NLA报告呼吁中央政府，伦敦市长和在资金方面的其他一些利益相关者，确保提供负担得起的工作空间是规划政策的关键部分，为了维持其作为一个杰出的商业中心的资本地位。
   
它建议重复在全球其他城市受欢迎的大尺度工作空间混合使用的方案，其中包括居住、工作、制造、生产和休闲。它还建议了改善传统交通连接的方法，使城市的连接更加数字化。

As part of the study NLA researched workspace initiatives and projects in the capital, like the hotdesking WeWork space at 199 Bishopsgate Kitchen.
The NLA report calls on the central government, the mayor of London and other stakeholders in the capital to ensure that the provision of affordable workspace is a key part of planning policy, in order to maintain the capital's position as a preeminent commercial centre.
It suggests replicating the large-scale mixed use schemes popular in other global cities, which integrate living, working, making, manufacturing and leisure. It also advises on ways to improve transport links and make the city more digitally connected.

NLA的主席Peter Murray说：“我们的工作方式，以及我们工作的地方在过去十年中发生了巨大的变化。” “这个具有里程碑意义的报告强调了伦敦工作场所的供应和保护必须如何发展，以满足当代商业的不断变化的需求。”
   
“作为市长考虑到下一个伦敦规划的内容，他必须确保伦敦在其数据供应方面变成一个更加智能的城市，在它的数据容量和其足够适应建筑灵活性的能力来吸收全新的工作方式。”Murray继续说。

研究表明，由于群众对住房的需求抬高了土地价格，商业和工业空间的使用受到了威胁，而当前的计划性政策有助于开发商将办公室转变为住宅。它还指出，只要伦敦的地价仍然很高，则需要在更少的空间内包含更多的用途，需要密集性更大的空间和集中型的发展。
   
报告指出，解决工作场所的可用性，可负担性以及工作场所的环境质量是确保伦敦继英国最近决定离开欧盟后继续吸引和留住全球的顶尖人才的一种方式。

"The ways we work, and the places in which we work, have evolved dramatically over the last decade," said the chair of the NLA, Peter Murray. "This landmark report highlights how the provision and protection of London's workplaces must evolve to meet the changing demands of contemporary business."
"As the mayor considers the contents of his next London Plan, he must ensure that London becomes smarter as a city in its supply of data, in its digital capacity and its ability to adapt with buildings flexible enough to absorb radical new ways of working," Murray continued.
The research warns that spaces for commercial and industrial use are under threat as the demand for housing pushes up land prices, and planning policies currently favour conversion of offices to residential use.
It also states that as long as land costs remain high in London, the need to accommodate more uses in less space calls for greater density and intensification of development.
Addressing the availability, affordability and quality of workplaces is a way to ensure that London continues to attract and retain the best global talent following the UK's recent decision to leave the European Union, the report argues.

“伦敦最大的优势在于它连接了社会、数码和人，对于大多数伦敦人来说乘公共交通工具上下班是他们工作生活的重要组成部分。”Festus Moffat的建筑师总监约翰•罗伯逊说。
   
“我们相信，伦敦市规划的下一个版本是强调交通节点及其周围地区的发展，为伦敦市提供一个各区域间能够相互连接的未来。”

各种不同工作区域的开发人员，包括英国地产公司和SEGRO；建筑师包括John Robertson和Orms；顾问和代理机构，例如Cushman＆Wakefield；来自AECOM和Colorminium的工程师也参与了研究行业的圆桌会议，对项目进行采访和审查。

"London's greatest strength is its connections, socially, digitally and physically, and for the majority of Londoners commuting is a significant part of our work life," said John Robertson Architects director Festus Moffat.
"We believe that the next version of the London Plan puts an emphasis on the development of transport nodes and the areas around them to provide London with a connected future."
A variety of different workspace developers, including British Land and SEGRO; architects including John Robertson Architects and Orms; consultants and agents such as Cushman & Wakefield; and engineers including AECOM and Colorminium engaged in industry roundtables, interviews and project reviews for the study.

NLA的调查结果将在布鲁姆斯伯里的建筑中心展览会上展出，展览时间为2016年10月13日至12月17日。
   
该空间还将设置一个弹出式工作区域，将展示未来的增长领域和当前的模范计划，并提出关于如何确保伦敦未来经济的额外建议。
   
这里还将有一个相关的活动节目，持续到12月中旬，活动将讨论从研究中洞察出来的关键主题。

The NLA's findings will be exhibited in an exhibition at The Building Centre in Bloomsbury, which will run from 13 October to 17 December 2016.
The space will also host a pop-up working area, where future growth areas and current exemplar schemes will be showcased, and additional recommendations on how to secure the future of London's economy will be provided.
There will also be a programme of related events, running until mid-December, that will debate the key themes to come out of the insight study.
