由墨菲西斯设计的金融城大厦是新成立的卡萨布兰卡金融城中建成的首个项目，金融城地处城市西南部历史悠久的安法区，将成为一个具有变革性的全新商业区。

Designed by global architecture firm Morphosis, Casablanca Finance City Tower is the first project to be realized in the newly-established Casablanca Finance City (CFC)—a transformative new business district currently being developed in the Anfa District southwest of the historic city center.

这座25层高的大厦于2019年4月竣工，这对卡萨布兰卡来说是一个重要的里程碑，增强了其作为非洲门户的历史性地位。金融城经当地政府批准，邀请全球企业来此建立其位于摩洛哥的区域总部。在与金融城管理层的紧密合作下，墨菲西斯在非洲的首个作品正式落成。

The completion of the 25-story tower in April 2019 marked a significant milestone for Casablanca as it expands on its historical role as the gateway to Africa. CFC, a government-endorsed initiative, invites global firms to establish their regional headquarters in Morocco within this special economic zone. Developed in close partnership with CFC leadership, the Tower marks Morphosis’ first project in Africa.

大厦在金融城的持续发展中起着至关重要的作用，其所在的安法区曾是安法机场的所在地。金融城象征着摩洛哥对未来的憧憬，为城市中尚未完全建成的部分树立了建筑性能、尺度和技术方面的先例。大厦与城市的气候相适应，并在设计上尽量减少对生态的影响，为金融城和其它地区的未来项目设立了新的标杆。

The Casablanca Finance City Tower plays a critical role in the ongoing development of the CFC, located in the Anfa District, which was home to the Anfa Airport. CFC symbolizes Morocco’s vision for the future and sets precedents in building performance, scale, and technology for a part of the city that is yet to be fully realized. Working in harmony with the site’s climate and designed to minimize ecological impact, the tower sets a new standard for future projects in the region and beyond.

普利兹克奖得主，墨菲西斯创始合伙人汤姆·梅恩表示，大厦及其创新性的设计将带来长期的影响力，标志着摩洛哥经济繁荣的新时代。大厦在该国的中心地带汇集了一系列全球产业，激发国际社会对北非的投资兴趣，同时也为该区的持续发展提供了模板。

“The Casablanca Finance City Tower and its innovative design was conceived to have long-lasting impact and to signal a new era of economic prosperity for Morocco,” said Pritzker Prize-winning architect and Morphosis Founding Partner Thom Mayne. “This tower brings together a range of global industries in the heart of the country, galvanizing international investment in North Africa, while also providing a template for the future development of the district as it continues to grow.”

墨菲西斯合伙人兼项目负责人Ung-Joo Scott Lee补充到，通过与金融城领导层紧密合作，团队能够突破设计与施工的界限，将空白的场地改造成一处与周边环境保持可持续动态发展的项目。

Morphosis Partner and Project Principal Ung-Joo Scott Lee added: “Working closely together, we were able to push the boundaries of design and construction, transforming a blank satellite site into a dynamic development that sustainably engages with its surrounding environment.”

大厦的设计借鉴了周边地区独特的开放性，这给设计师提供了一个不寻常的机会，在这个原本密集的城市中突出建筑与自然环境之间的关系。简洁的遮阳系统将建筑包裹起来，在保护建筑免受阳光直射的同时，允许建筑物利用外部元素来调节内部的自然光、空气和温度等环境因素，此外还提供了面向城市、大海和标志性的哈桑二世清真寺前所未有的景观视野。

The design for the Casablanca Finance City Tower draws on the unique openness of the surrounding area, which afforded the designers the unusual opportunity in an otherwise dense city to highlight the relationship between the building and the natural environment. A brise-soleil system wraps the building, protecting against the sun while still allowing the building to harness external elements to regulate natural light, air, and temperatures internally, in addition to offering unprecedented views of the city, ocean, and the iconic Hassan II Mosque.

立面的设计灵感源自于传统的马赛克几何图案和复杂的木格栅屏风。这种节能系统，还使建筑满足了世界绿色建筑协会设定的LEED金级认证的全部要求。

This façade draws inspiration from traditional geometric patterned mosaics and intricate wooden latticework screens characteristic of Moroccan architecture. As a result of this energy efficient system, the building meets all LEED Gold requirements of the World Green Building Council.

锥形塔冠盖在400英尺（122米）高的主体结构上，实现了这座建筑成为城市全新标志的功能。在街道层面上，建筑通过外部公共空间的设计与低处的城市景观相接，邀请社区群众前来这处相邻的公共区域。这个双冠造型使建筑同时成为城市发展的象征和社会的中心，塑造了该地区活跃的街头生活。

A tapered crown capping the 400-foot (122-meter) structure realizes the tower’s function as a new icon for the city. Mirrored at street level, the building engages the lower urban landscape with exterior public programming that invites the community into adjacent public spaces. This double crown allows the building to simultaneously serve as a symbol of the city’s development and as a social hub that nurtures an active street life in the district.
