The stunning upside down pyramid in the middle of Mexico City is designed to get around height limits on new buildings in the capital. 墨西哥建筑师日前设计了一座深达300米的65层“摩地大楼”，令 人叹为观止。这座“倒金字塔”位于墨西哥市中心，如此设计是为了规 避墨西哥市新建筑限高的。 Deep: The 65-storey 'earth-scraper' is set to plunge 300m into the ground beneath Mexico Cit The subterranean(地下的) building will have 10 storeys each for homes, shops and a museum, as well as 35 storeys for offices. The design has been crowned with a Mexican flag. Esteban Suarez, from architecture firm BNKR Arquitectura, said the building would also house a new cultural centre. He said: 'New infrastructure, office, retail and living space are required in the city but no empty plots are available. 'Federal and local laws prohibit demolishing historic buildings and even if this was so, height regulations limit new structures to eight storeys. 'The city's historic centre is in desperate need of a makeover(大转变) but we have nowhere to put it, this means the only way to go is down.' He added: 'The Earthscraper preserves the iconic presence of the city square and the existing hierarchy(层级) of the buildings that surround it. 'It is an inverted pyramid with a central void(空间) to allow all habitable spaces to enjoy natural lighting and ventilation. 'It will also allow the numerous activities that take place on the city square year round such as concerts, open-air exhibitions and military parades to go ahead.' Pyramids play a large part in the architectural history of Mexico, as the country's anicent civilisations(文明) have often build huge pyramid structures. Esteban added: 'The Earthscraper digs down through the layers of cities to uncover our roots.' 本文章由芭尔网收集整理
