上海，中国
The China Diamond Exchange Center, designed by Goettsch Partners (GP), is a 50,000-square-meter office building in Shanghai’s Pudong district, the city’s modern financial and commercial hub. The 15-story building provides space for members of the China Diamond Exchange, as well as other related and speculative tenants.
由美国GP建筑设计有限公司(GP)设计的中国钻石交易中心，为一50,000平方米的写字楼，位于上海浦东区，浦东区为上海现代金融和商业集会地。15层的钻石交易中心提供了中国钻石交易所成员所需办公空间，以及向相关金融机构和其它投资商租赁办公空间。
The building is conceived as tworectangular office slabs connected by a skylit atrium, with a large, 66- by 230-foot cable-supported net wall at each end. One tower is fully dedicated to the Diamond Exchange members, with the adjacent tower serving other tenants. The relatively narrow, 20-meter-wide floor plate of each tower is unique, working in combination with the atrium to bring daylight to all offices.
该建筑有着两栋矩形塔楼，由带天窗的通高中庭连接，在中庭的两侧均有一面大型的20X68米拉索幕墙。两栋塔楼中的一栋完全为钻石交易所会员使用，另一栋塔楼则出租使用。塔楼楼面较狭长，特别设计为20米宽，这样，与中庭一起将自然光线引入所有的办公空间。
The open elevator tower defines the focal point of the building, with three cabs traversing the atrium to sky bridges on each level that connect the two office blocks. The elevators’ activity is not only visible from the lobby but also from outside, through the full-height glass walls.
开放式电梯塔是整个建筑的焦点，三部电梯在中庭内运行，连接各层空中天桥，而二栋办公塔楼之间由天桥连接。电梯的活动不仅可在大堂可见，透过通高拉索幕墙从外面也能看见。建筑的通透性为建筑本身以及室外环境增添了全日可见的动感。
The major tenants’ core business inspired the design, with diamond-shaped elements featured throughout, including the atrium’s glass skylight, the structural geometry of the entry canopy, and the main lobby floor. Details provide punches of red, a color that signifies prosperity and happiness in Chinese culture.
设计灵感来自于核心钻石交易业务，钻石形的元素特征贯穿整个建筑，最显著的就是中庭的玻璃天窗、入口雨篷的几何结构以及主大堂楼层。精选的细部则选择了一抹在中国文化中代表积极向上和喜庆的红色。
