Heatherwick Studio公布了其在上海西岸滨水新城区的最新展馆设计。该建筑被命名为“西岸漩心”（West Bund Orbit），将成为徐汇区新金融中心的核心建筑，同时为黄浦江畔带来一处新的地标。
Heatherwick Studio has revealed the design of an exhibition hall on Shanghai ’s emerging West Bund waterfront. Named the ‘West Bund Orbit ’, the building will represent the heart of the new Financial Hub in Xuhui District and will serve as a landmark on the Huangpu riverside.

项目坐落在场地的一角，其大厅空间可从各个方向进入。为了凸显建筑的主要功能，设计团队将大型展览空间设置在建筑的中心位置，附属功能则位于其上方。二级环形展廊围绕着首层的主厅布局，将建筑与周边区域连接起来。同时，高大的窗户将路人的目光吸引至展厅内部的活动和展览。
Situated at the corner of the site, the hall is seemingly accessible from 360 degrees. The design team looked to celebrate its primary function by placing the large exhibition space at the centre with its ancillary functions located above. A second perimeter gallery wraps around the main hall on the ground floor level, opening the building up to the surrounding area with tall windows enticing the passers-by with glimpses of the events and exhibitions hosted inside.

“西岸漩心”连接了西岸新区与滨江文化公园，提供了可以同时从内部和外部进行体验的公共空间。建筑的立面仿佛一系列相互交织的缎带，形成起伏的公共楼梯、桥梁与露台。游客们可以走上建筑的屋顶花园，并在多个观景平台上游览。
Nestled within the new district as well as connecting to the cultural riverside park, the ‘Orbit’ is designed as a public space to be experienced in its entirety, both inside and out. The façade resembles a series of interwoven ribbons that form an undulating set of publicly accessible staircases, bridges, and terraces. These allow visitors to the new district to ascend to the bu ilding’s rooftop garden and take advantage of the multiple viewing platforms.

缎带般的楼梯呼应了中国传统的月亮桥的形式，同时又带有未来主义的色彩，让建筑看上去像是在不停地旋转运动。当游客沿着建筑向上攀登，立面上的玻璃窗口将揭示出内部的展览空间，并标识出每个楼层主入口的位置。在屋顶层，“缎带”展开成为露天的顶篷，从这里可以看见河流与整个西岸的景色。
The ‘ribbon’ staircases echo the form of traditional Chinese moon bridges but with a futuristic twist, making the building appear as if in constant rotational motion. As visitors walk up the structure, glazed openings in the façade reveal the inner exhibition hall framing the main entrances at every level. At the rooftop, the ribbons unravel into an open-air canopy with views over the river as well as the entire West Bund area.

“西岸漩心”位于2010年上海世博会英国馆场地的正对面，后者同样由Heatherwick Studio设计。在世博会期间，这座“种子教堂”有超过800万人参观，并获得了展馆设计的金奖。
The building is located directly opposite the site of the UK Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo 2010, where Heatherwick Studio designed the Seed Cathedral. During the Expo, this structure was visited by more than 8 million people, and it won the gold medal for Pavilion Design.
