北京奧運國家游泳中心「水立方」(澳洲PTW Architects 建築師事務所設計)，昨天上午鋪裝最後一塊外膜，外觀全部完工。被北京人稱為穿著藍色「泡泡裝」的水立方，從空中鳥瞰，如一塊方型泡泡棉，成為北京市最特殊的現代藍色建築。

繼日前公布外國記者奧運前後大陸採訪規定，北京奧組委今天將公布台灣記者奧運前後赴大陸採訪規定。

藍色的「水立方」是北京奧運代表性場館之一，也是唯一由全球華人捐贈的場館，整座場館建設約花費十億元人民幣（四十多億台幣），其中，台商捐贈六千多萬元人民幣。

水立方的特殊設計，在於主體鋼結構的外麵包上一層特殊的「膜」，這個「膜」是採用世界上最先進的環保節能ＥＴＦＥ（四氟乙烯）膜材料，由三千多個氣枕組成，大小不一、形狀各異，覆蓋面積達十萬平方公尺，堪稱世界之最。價格也相當昂貴，全部由外國進口，每平方公尺要價達二千多元。

場館人員介紹，這種膜材料有自潔功能，使得膜的表面不會沾染灰塵，即使沾上灰塵，自然降水也足以使之清潔如新。此外，膜材料的抗震和抗壓性佳，萬一出現外膜破裂，根據應急預案，可在八小時內把破損的外膜修好或換新。

水立方外表的膜結構安裝完成後，整座場館將封閉，開始內部裝修；內部膜結構安裝，要比外部的膜安裝難度更大。預計明年十月底，水立方全部完工。

2006年春天，松下電器開設的〈櫻花廣場〉以觀賞櫻花的新名勝所而成為話題。為什麼松下電器會想做櫻花的公園？讓我們來聽聽他們對櫻花廣場所的想法。

以櫻花廣場之姿而誕生的是大阪府門真市的舊總社跡地（約1萬5000平方公尺）和千葉縣習志野市的幕張新市中心的社有地（約3萬平方公尺）。提出「與地球環境共存」來作為21世紀的事業理想之一的松下集團，讓這些空地能為了環境和地域提供有效利用而摸索著。

對此，提案的是建築師安藤忠雄先生。安藤先生是提出「與自然共生」為題目的世界級建築師，近幾年也積極地參與以大阪為中心推展的「櫻花會•貫穿平成」計劃。這個安藤先生的建議和松下電器的理想相符的就是櫻花廣場。


靠近海邊的幕張櫻花廣場，種植了保護櫻花不受海風危害的防風林也。園內並設置了可供休息所和緊急時候也能利用的橢圓形池子。

被種植在公園一整片的是染井吉野（someiyoshino）櫻。據說，這也是安藤先生刻意選擇這種潔淨而惹人憐愛的日本櫻花的。其數量，幕張505棵，門真是190棵。就數量來說，也許不及新宿御苑等大型公園，不過，其他應該沒有像這麼規則而密集的地方了。安藤先生自己也說「全世界大概也找不到其他這麼果斷的庭園了」。

櫻花的花正好看的時候也不過是1年中的1週左右。那麼，能享受其中的樂趣的時候看來極短，卻絕對不是那樣。雖然稱為櫻花廣場，不過，這裡卻是讓人能感覺四季的庭園。櫻花散落之後的新綠，紅葉，冬天的淒涼景象，希望能隨著景色的變遷讓人感覺到四季……。這個庭園就蘊涵了那樣的想法。


潺潺的流水沿著扇型階梯流動的門真櫻花廣場。在這裡，總社還在時就有的大樟樹也被當作標誌，留存了下來。

阿聯酋的新奇建築--- 摩天樓旋轉360度

阿聯酋的新奇建築

摩天樓旋轉360度

在慣於創造奇蹟的阿聯酋首都杜拜，即將動工的「時光寓所」大概是奇蹟中的奇蹟了。這座大廈最神奇的地方是它能做360度旋轉，是世界首座乙太陽能為動力的整體旋轉大廈。

大廈外部有清晰的時間座標線與地面和墩座的12小時制時鐘相呼應，這樣整座大廈就像個巨大的時鐘。負責設計大廈旋轉系統的工程師尼克•庫珀說：「這是一座公平的大廈，任何人在任何時間段內的視野範圍都一樣，沒有哪個房間視野最好。」

Rotating tower to be solar-powered
By Robert Ditcham, Staff Reporter

Dubai: Dubai's latest mind-boggling project will be yet another global first - a fully rotating tower powered by the sun.

Project engineers say the Dh400 million Time Residences tower in the City of Arabia master development will turn through 360 degrees, its rotation mechanism driven by stored solar energy.

The project, which will put 200 apartments onto the market, is another addition to Dubai's list of world exclusives which will include the world's tallest tower, biggest mall and largest man-made island - even a collection of dozens of man-made islands dubbed The World.

In July, Dubai-based High Rise Real estate launched the Rotating Tower, a Dh175 million project in Jumeirah Village South featuring four rotating penthouses and a rotating villa with its own car lift.

Dubai Property Ring, developer of the 30-floor Time Residences, says it has gone one step better by launching a fully rotating structure.

"We didn't want to build just another building or tower, we wanted to create something unique - a precious place to live - a genuine contender to be one of the great buildings in the world," said Tav Singh, director of Dubai Property Ring, the Dubai arm of UK-based property investors UK Property Group.

Singh said the company plans to build 23 more rotating towers in each of the world's time zones with finance provided by investors linked to the company.

The Time Residences tower will include one- and two-bedroom apartments as well as duplexes and penthouses. Singh said unit prices have not been released, but sales are expected to start in March 2007. Buyers' payments will be held in an account managed by Dubai Property Ring and Colliers International, master agents for the project.

The project is the company's first foray into property development, forcing it to take on the services of established names in their respective fields.

The tower was designed by UK architecture firm, Glenn Howells Architects (the company behind the Birmingham Rotunda in the UK) and Palmer and Turner, the master developers of City of Arabia.

"A distinctive time line runs down the building that meets 12 o'clock markings on the ground and the podium, allowing observers to use the building as a fully functioning time piece - it's unique, it's ambitious and it's an honour to be involved from the start," said James Abbott, senior architect at Palmer and Turner.

Dubai's Kulkarni QS will manage the project, while the task of rotating an 80,000 tonne tower through 360 degrees over a seven day period has been handed to Nick Cooper, managing director of Bennett Associates, the British engineer who designed the drill machine that bored the English Channel Tunnel.

Cooper said state of the art bearing systems at several points in the tower will allow a power plant to rotate the base of the tower at 5mm per second using only 21 electic kettles' worth of solar power.

Construction is expected to start in June next year with projected completion in the first quarter of 2009.

The project will also be showcased at this year's Cityscape from December 4-6 at the Colliers International stand.

杜拜的水下大都會 Hydropolis Hotel 模擬圖

水下旅館佔地最大

杜拜的建築不但能擎天，還能入海。在不遠的將來，杜拜將出現一座水下豪華飯店。

這座名為「水下大都會」(Hydropolis Hotel )的豪華飯店將由三部分組成：用於接待顧客的地面站、隧道和飯店主體，總共擁有220個房間。除此之外，「水下大都會」還將成為世界上規模最大的建築之一，其總佔地面積為260公頃，與英國倫敦的海德公園相當。

飯店的設計師約希姆•豪塞爾(Joachim Hauser )表示：「『水下大都會'並不是一個單純的規劃，它是一件充滿激情的建築。飯店位於海面下20米的地方，總造價約5.5億歐元，預計將在2007 年底開放迎客。」

$550M Underwater Hotel
Launched in Dubai
by JACK LYNE, Site Selection Executive Editor of Interactive Publishing

DUBAI, Jebel Ali, United Arab Emirates — You may soon be able to sleep with the fishes in the Middle East - and in luxury, which you might well expect when you're paying as much as US$5,500 for a day's lodging.

No, it's not some demented landlord's warped reworking of The Godfather script. Instead, it's the $500-million Hydropolis Hotel ( http://hydropolis.com ) now being launched in Dubai, the capital city of Jebel Ali in the United Arab Emirates.

The project is nothing if not ambitious. Constructed from a combination of concrete, steel and clear Plexiglas, Hydropolis will be the world's first underwater luxury hotel. It will offer 220 suites, all sitting on the Persian Gulf floor 66 feet (20 meters) below the surface.

"I am sure that this project will create an international sensation and will also be the beginning of a new era in architecture," Joachim Hauser, the German architect and investor who's spearheading the project, said at last month's project announcement in Dubai.

Covering 27 acres (10.8 hectares), the project will feature architecture that's nothing if not attention-grabbing. The design includes three linked elements: a wave-shaped 333,333-sq.-ft. (30,000-sq.-m) above-ground "land station" and the jellyfish-shaped 833,333-sq.-ft. (75,000-sq.-m.) underwater hotel, linked by a submerged transparent train tunnel that's 1,700 feet (515 meters) long.

Among the project's other unusual architectural details are the hotel's two translucent domes, which will house a concert auditorium and a ballroom that break the water's surface, with the ballroom featuring a retractable roof. And that's not to mention the hotel's bubble-shaped suites, with clear glass comprising both the sleeping areas' walls and each room's bathtub.

"Hydropolis imparts a unique impression of distinctiveness and exclusivity, an attraction that does not diminish after a first phase of curiosity," Hauser said in his press conference presentation. "Guests from all over the world and from all cultures will be attracted by a multitude of offers, which simultaneously address mind, body and soul in an unparalleled manner. It is the dream of all humankind to live in and explore the sea."

Al Reem 島上的「美腿」大廈（The Legs)完成模擬圖

大廈有兩條「美腿」

由 Aedas 設計，坐落在阿聯酋Abu Dhabi 的Al Reem 島上的「美腿」大廈（The Legs）可以被視作是對傳統高層建築施工和結構侷限的挑戰。

該項目由一座五星級飯店、酒店公寓、住宅樓和辦公室組成。酒店公寓（service apartment）和飯店都需要較高的樓層來提供視野，但同時需要大堂和娛樂設施。辦公室和住宅作為項目的資金來源將位於較低的樓層。

在設計中採用了高速電梯，將客人帶入到一個空中大堂系統以及較高樓層，並送到他們自己的房間。項目追求的是兩個基本原則：創造出兩條性感漂亮的「腿」，彎曲交錯在一起。一條「腿」高330米，飯店位於其頂部。兩條「腿」的中部用一座天橋連接，將上層的大廳也連接起來，形成結構上的輔助支撐。看上去這兩條「腿」伸向了天空，擺脫重力的束縛，不但對Abu Dhabi來說是獨特的，就算整個阿聯酋地區也是獨一無二。

The Legs, Middle East

"The Legs" was conceived to challenge the convention of high-rise construction and structural limitations which has restricted its own evolution. The project consists of a 5-star hotel, service apartments, residential and offices. The service apartment and hotel both wanted to have the higher floors for views but also can share the lobbies and amenities. The offices and residential components are the financial base for the project which could occupy the lower floors. It was decided that express elevators could take guests up to a sky lobby system for the upper components and then could transfer to their own cores. The design utilises a system called 「an exo-skeleton」. This structural approach is based on a tube and uses the skin of the building as the structure and thereby not dependent on the core. The project pursues these two basic principles to produce two legs which bend and sensually interlock around each other. One leg reaches over 330m with the hotel on top. Both legs are organically contained with a structural stocking and linked discreetly in the centre with a sky-bridge connecting the upper lobbies as well aiding the project structurally. The result is two legs which reach into the sky and seem to defy gravity, creating a project which is not only unique for the Middle East but for the entire region of U.A.E.
