马岩松的The Absolute Tower

胫骨

<p>Year 2006 <br/>&nbsp;Location Canada <br/>&nbsp;Typology High Rise Apartment&nbsp; <br/>&nbsp;Scale 45,000 sqm <br/>&nbsp;Status Scheduled to Complete in 2009 </p><p>&nbsp;<br/>&nbsp;Modernism has a famous motto: A house is a machine for living in. However, as the machines and the society constructed upon it have experienced dramatic changes, how should we understand today\'s architecture now? What message should the architecture convey if she is distancing away from the industrial age? </p><p>Like other fast developing suburbs in north America, Mississauga is seeking a new identity that best explains her own characters. We take this as a great opportunity to respond to the expanding need of the city in a special way. Mississauga should give more thought to its own unique characters rather than pursue the example of other suburbs striving to become metropolises. Our design forsakes the simplification principle of modernism, in fact, it express a higher level of complexity and the diversity of modern society through multiple approaches, and in the meanwhile it caters to the vague social needs at multiple levels. </p><p>Not only does the tower manifest the power of design, it also serves as a statement to the surrounding area and the social context. In the meantime, the cross of Hurontario street and Burmhamthope road fully embodies its gateway condition to Mississauga\'s City Centre in the tower. The building is sculpture-like in its overall effect, and its design expresses the universal language of audacity, sensuality and romance. As the new landmark of the city of Mississauga, it will become the icon of the present landscape with all its twisting rhythms resembling the human body. </p><p>In our design, the continuous balcony surrounds the whole building, eliminating the vertical lines used in traditional high rise architecture to emphasize the height. The entire building rotates by different degrees at different level, which corresponds with sceneries at different height. Our aim is to evoke the city dwellers\' aspiration for nature, and get them in touch with the sunlight and the wind. </p><p>The Absolute Tower is nicknamed Marilyn Monroe by the locals. </p><p>----------------------------------------- </p><p>现代主义有一句有名的宣言：建筑是居住的机器。但是我们必须发问，在机器及其所代表的社会基础发生了如此剧变的今天，我们应该怎样理解建筑？如果建筑正在远离工业，那么她更应该表达什么内容？ <br/>与北美其它迅速发展的近郊城市一样，加拿大多伦多地区的密西沙加市也一直在努力寻找着自己的性格和定位。我们认为这是一个机会，她没有必要再像那些典型的城郊一样，一心梦想着变成大都市，而有可能反思自己地域的独特性，考虑用一种特殊的方式来回应日益膨胀的城市需求。我们的设计不再屈服于现代主义的简化原则，而是表达出一种更高层次的复杂性，来更多元地接近当代社会和生活的多样化，多层模糊的需求。 </p><p>我们认为建筑本身是对自然和环境的反应和强调，高塔的设计一直是对地理和社会环境的一种有力的陈述。 The Absolute Tower位于密西沙加市最重要的Hurontario 街和 Burmhamthope 路交汇处,她的重要性和标志性将使这片区域成为这个低密度近郊城市的中心。在我们的设计中,连续的水平阳台环绕整栋建筑，传统高层建筑中用来强调高度的垂直线条被取消了，整个建筑在不同高度进行着不同角度的逆转，来对应不同高度的景观文脉。我们希望The Absolute Tower可以唤醒大城市里的人对自然的憧憬，感受到阳光和风对人们生活的影响。 </p><p>The Absolute Tower也被当地民众和媒体称为玛丽莲梦露大厦。</p><p><img src="http://www.i-mad.com/image/toronto_01.jpg" alt=""/>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.i-mad.com/image/toronto_07.jpg" alt=""/>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.i-mad.com/image/toronto_04.jpg" alt=""/>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.i-mad.com/image/toronto_03.jpg" alt=""/>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.i-mad.com/image/toronto_02.jpg" alt=""/>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.i-mad.com/image/C%20ss.jpg" alt=""/>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.i-mad.com/image/torontonigh1.jpg" alt=""/>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.mindmeters.com/upfile/2006330194647881.jpg" alt=""/></p><p><img height="180" src="http://www.asianwave.ca/web/chinese/images/2006_Mar_Apr/yansong-ma_homepage_1.jpg" width="315" alt=""/></p>
