项目概况:

This conceptual tower for Taiwan by Romanian firms upgrade. studio, DSBA and Mihai Carciun in the USA features observation decks floating up and down each side on helium balloons. Called Floating Observatories, the design would incorporate a museum, information centre, offices,conference centre and restaurant. The protruding pods would accommodate 50-80people and glide up and down the tower controlled by a magnetic field. Starting from the“geographical” visual of Taiwan-which is an island resembling a leaf-thedesigners have developed the concept of the technological tree: to designe 8 spatial leaves (with eight being a propitious number in the local culture) in the form of zeppelin - like elevators which glide up and down the “tree trunk”and which serve the purpose of observation decks / belvedere. The tower layersunderground and ground level spaces as well as in its vertical reach, thefunctions required by the conceptual theme: information center, museum, officeand conference space, restaurants, fixed observation desks. Apart from the factthat we aim to design a tower whose silhouetted out of line echoes the local symbolism and has great impact in terms of visual identity, our solution is atthe same time a model of green architecture.
