Nicosia中心塔楼项目 | Jean Nouvel

The iconic tower designed by Jean Nouvel at the center of Nicosia, next to Eleftheria Square transforms the city silhouette of Nicosia. The program includes 10-story residential apartments, a 6-story office space and a 2-story retail area. This verticality in relation to the horizontality of the medieval walls and the moat that enclose the old part of the city sets the stage for a series of inversions that are characteristic of the building. The 67 meter high building will be the culminating landmark of the city.

由Jean Nouvel在Nicosia中心设计的标志性塔楼，邻近Eleftheria广场，改变了Nicosia的城市轮廓。该项目包括10层高的住宅公寓，6层高的办公空间和2层高的零售区。这种与中世纪城墙和护城河的水平度相关的垂直性包围了城市老区，为一系列的倒转奠定了基础，这是建筑的特点。这座高67米的建筑将成为这座城市的最高地标。

On the south façade a vertical landscape covers approximately 80% of the building’s façade area. This exceptional living environment is working like a natural “brise soleil”. The plants will act as a natural sun control shielding the apartments and the offices from direct sun during summer while admitting a maximum of sunlight in winter. This “living façade” supports a variety of Cypriote climbing and spreading plants and will be continually transformed by the cyclic movements of the different seasons. 400 years old olive trees continue this vertical landscape on the perimeter of the building. It creates the link to the adjacent urban park and gets a part of the scenery of the city. The apartments and office feature indoor/outdoor loggias that extend the living space outside to take maximum advantage of Nicosia’s temperate climate.

在南立面上，垂直景观覆盖了建筑立面面积的80％。这种非凡的居住环境就像天然的“百叶窗”一样工作。这些植物将充当天然的日光控制系统，在夏天使公寓和办公室免受阳光直射，而在冬天则要吸收最多的阳光。这种“活动立面”支持各种塞浦路斯的攀援植物，并且会因不同季节的周期性运动而不断发生变化。拥有400年历史的橄榄树在建筑物的外围延续了这种垂直景观。它创建了到相邻城市公园的链接，并获得了一部分城市风景。公寓和办公室均设有室内/室外凉廊，可将居住空间扩展到室外，从而最大程度地利用Nicosia的温带气候。

On the north façade, the loggias extend out to take maximum advantage of views toward the park and the city skyline. A series of cascading terraces and large balconies acknowledge the Mediterranean climate and the significance of spending time outside.

在北立面上，凉廊向外延伸以最大程度地利用公园和城市天际线的美景。一系列层叠的露台和大阳台感知地中海的气候以及在户外度过的时间的重要性。

On the east and west façade the loggias extend in from the pixelated concrete walls façade to protect residents and office occupiers from noise, wind and sun.

在东，西立面上，凉廊从像素化的混凝土墙立面开始延伸，以保护居民和办公室居民免受噪音，风和日光的影响。

Punctured by a random array of openings, sometimes glazed sometimes left open, especially in the garden areas, the massiveness of the walls is negated by the numerous perforations. Interesting shadow games determine the exterior and interior space in relation to the different sun position of the day. An accumulation of voids and windows shaped by a size of 40 x 40 cm creates a unique screen image from the outside and inside point of view. At night the wall as a giant screen is pronouncing the inhabitants light needs and strengthen even more the random system of the facade.

墙壁被随机排列的开口打开，有时还留有釉面，有时则留着开放，尤其是在花园区域，墙壁的庞大性被众多的穿孔所抵消。有趣的影子游戏根据一天中不同的太阳位置来确定外部和内部空间。从外部和内部的角度来看，由40 x 40 cm大小的形状形成的空隙和窗口的积累形成了独特的屏幕图像。到了晚上，作为巨型屏幕的墙发出了居民光需要的信号，并进一步增强了立面的随机系统。

On the top two floors of the tower, a duplex apartment is organized around a central court-yard inspired by the Cypriot traditional architecture. Three large shades protect the apartment from the summer sun and emphasize the view to the sky.

在塔楼的最高两层，一栋复式公寓围绕着一个受塞浦路斯传统建筑启发的中央庭院而组织。三种大阴影可以保护公寓免受夏天的阳光照射，并着重向天空的视野。

The project will push the integration of landscape and tower architecture to a new level and offer Nicosia a new architectural icon that symbolizes the city’s future.

该项目将把景观和塔式建筑的融合推向一个新的高度，并为Nicosia提供一个象征城市未来的新建筑图标。
