The trade-offs between having a prestigious building that makes a mark on the skyline but which is also a good place to work in are notorious. A spectacular landmark, such as London's 30 St Mary Axe, the Lord Foster-designed building known as the “Gherkin”, can literally put a business on the map and broadcast its owner's ambitions to the world. But monuments to corporate pride also create a host of challenges for their occupants.
建造一棟能夠成為城市風(fēng)景線標(biāo)記的知名建筑,同時又是一個好的辦公場所,這其中的取舍聞名天下。一棟壯觀的標(biāo)志性建筑——如福斯特爵士(Lord Foster)設(shè)計的倫敦圣瑪麗斧街30號(30 St Mary Axe),俗稱“小黃瓜(Gherkin)”——真的能讓一家企業(yè)出名,讓全世界了解其主人的雄心。但這些“企業(yè)驕傲”豐碑,也會給它們的入駐者帶來一系列挑戰(zhàn)。
