方案状态 概念方案

“海上摩天大楼”是一个混合用途的水上开发项目，旨在适应纽约在文化、生态韧性和科学技术方面越来越迅猛的发展。

"The Offshore Towers" is a water-based, mixed-use development to adopt the growing cultural, resiliency, and technological shifts of New York.

海岸为文明兴起提供了一种动态环境。我们的祖先为了海岸丰富的资源（如食物、交通）而向其进发，良好的贸易机会也促进了沿海战略要地的兴旺发展。这一发展趋势延续至今，甚至还在加速，到2050年，沿海地区的人口预计将比现在增加16.6亿。

The coast is a dynamic environment for civilizations to thrive. Our ancestors sought the coast for its resource abundance, from food to transportation, presenting good trading opportunities that promoted development in strategic coastal spots. This trend continues today and is accelerating, with coastal populations expected to increase by 1.66 billion people by 2050.

“海上摩天大楼”采用新颖的填海造陆方式，基于沉箱技术作为地基和基础设施，挑战了传统意义上的沿海建筑环境标准。

"The Offshore Towers" challenges the built environment’s standards along the shorelines with a novel land reclamation technique that uses caisson technology as a foundation and infrastructural base.

科技枢纽

一系列科技企业，如Facebook、Amazon、Apple、Netflix和Google计划在纽约落户并增加办公空间，这将增加住房需求并调整该地区的平均家庭收入。仅这些公司就将在纽约占据至少15个办公地点，这些公司的入驻将促进纽约的科技初创企业的发展，同时也将满足新迁入人口的交通物流需求。

Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google plan to settle and increase their office space in New York, which will boost housing demands and adjust the average household income in the area. These companies alone will occupy at least 15 locations in the city. Its presence will boost the technology startup scene in New York, as well as the incoming population’s logistics demands.

不断变化的人口对基础设施的需求将扰乱城市的新陈代谢，然而，大楼从纽约市流域分区的历史中汲取灵感，通过将基础设施与海岸线连接起来，轻松适应新的需求。炮台公园的扩建使得该地区有机会在增加建筑面积的同时，对公共空间和哈德逊河做出提升。

The infrastructural requirements of a reshaping population are poised to disrupt the metabolism of the city, however the Offshore Towers looks into the history of the water lots in New York City to adapt to the new needs with ease, by plugging infrastructure to the shorelines. The extension of Battery Park is an opportunity to add built-up area while contributing to the public space and the Hudson River.

采用沉箱技术的地基

“海上摩天大楼”利用沉箱和基桩填海造地，扩大了曼哈顿的建筑面积，并保护其免受风暴侵袭。这些结构既能提供稳定性，又能在水下为公共服务提供空间。

The Offshore Towers use caissons with foundation piles to reclaim land, expanding Manhattan's built-up area and protecting it from storms. These structures provide both stability and underwater space for public services.

沉箱内部设有公共区域和基础设施，与现有城市结构融为一体。沉箱周围的区域实施哈德逊河环境振兴战略，并将河水汇集起来生产能源。

Inside the caissons, there are public areas and infrastructures that integrate into the existing city. Around the caissons, there are strategies for the environmental revitalization of the Hudson River and energy production strategies that gather the river flow.

沉箱可以放置在海上离岸区域，用于建造建筑物，并创造绿色空间，提升市民的健康幸福，并保护该地区免受气候变化的影响。“海上摩天大楼”与曼哈顿岸线上的“Big U”等项目共发挥作用，扩大洪涝缓冲区，保护曼哈顿免受风暴侵袭。以这些塔楼作为枢纽，空心混凝土沉箱参与构建新的基础设施网络，为城市升级做出贡献。

The caissons can be placed offshore for the construction of buildings, and to create green spaces that support the well-being of citizens and safeguard the area from climate shifts. The Offshore Towers work alongside projects like the Big U, extending the buffer zone to shield Manhattan from storms. They play a role in upgrading the city by acting as a hub for new infrastructure networks within the hollow concrete caisson.
