近日，法国建筑师让·努维尔公布了一项下沉式酒店设计。这个度假酒店名为Sharaan，将建在沙特阿拉伯AlUla沙漠的一座砂岩山中。该地区位于麦地那市以北大约220英里处，附近有联合国教科文组织世界遗产Madâin Sâlih。

French architect Jean Nouvel has unveiled the design for a subterranean hotel. Named Sharaan by Jean Nouvel, the resort will be cut into the sandstone hills in the AlUla area of Saudi Arabia, which is around 220 miles north of the city of Medina and contains the Madâin Sâlih UNESCO World Heritage site.

建筑师称，项目的契机正是这一遗产——纳巴泰古城的遗迹Madâin Sâlih。纳巴泰人在公元前4世纪到2世纪期间占领了阿拉伯沙漠，并在砂岩中开凿城市，如约旦的佩特拉。

According to the architect, the subterranean resort was informed by the nearby UNESCO World Heritage site where the remains of a Nabataean city can be found. The Nabataean people occupied the Arabian Desert in between the second and fourth century BC and carved cities, including Petra in Jordan, into the area's sandstone rock.

“AlUla是一座博物馆，”努维尔说，“每一个峡谷和悬崖，每一段沙和岩石的轮廓，每一个地质和考古遗址都值得仔细考虑。”“保持它所有的独特性和魅力至关重要，这在很大程度上取决于它古老而遥远的气质。我们必须保有一点神秘感，同时也要保证未来的探索的可能。”

"AlUla is a museum," said Nouvel. "Every wadi and escarpment, every stretch of sand and rocky outline, every geological and archaeological site deserves the greatest consideration." "It's vital we keep all its distinctiveness and conserve its attractiveness, which largely rests on its remote and occasionally archaic character," he continued. "We have to safeguard a little mystery as well as the promise of discoveries to come."

Sharaan将包含40套客房和三套表面如悬崖一般的度假别墅。每套房都有一个阳台，可以远望周围的风景。酒店的入口位于一个圆形庭院之中，从砂岩山坡中开凿出来。一系列房间将围绕一个80米高的中央电梯井布置。每套房都有砂岩墙，体现与前纳巴泰安城市的直接联系。

Sharaan by Jean Nouvel will contain 40 rooms and three resort villas that will be cut into a cliff face, with each suite having a balcony that looks out across the surrounding landscape. The hotel's entrance will be from a circular courtyard that will be carved into the sandstone hillside. From here a series of rooms will be arranged around a central 80-metre high lift shaft. Each of the suites will have sandstone walls that are aimed at creating a direct connection with the former Nabataean city.

努维尔说:“我们的项目不应该危及人类和时间中神圣的东西。”“我们的项目是颂扬纳巴提精神，而不是讽刺它。这种创作将真正成为一种文化行为。”

"Our project should not jeopardise what humanity and time have consecrated," said Nouvel. "Our project is celebrating the Nabateans spirit without caricaturing it. This creation genuinely becomes a cultural act."

度假村的开发是AlUla皇家委员会对该地区全球旅游业计划的支持的一部分。建筑师希望这家现代化的酒店能彰显这个地区的遗产。“AlUla理应获得一定程度的现代化，”努维尔说。“展望未来是一项永无止境的义务，它要求我们在回忆过去的同时，充分活在当下。”

The development of the resort forms part of The Royal Commission for AlUla's plan to encourage global tourism in the area. Nouvel hopes that the modern hotel will celebrate the area's legacy. "AlUla deserves to acquire a degree of modernity," said Nouvel. "Envisioning the future is a never-ending obligation that requires us to be fully alive to places in the present as well as conjuring up the past," continued Nouvel.
