由让·努维尔设计的这座标志性塔楼位于尼科西亚的城市中心，紧邻着埃菜夫塞里娅广场，它令尼科西亚的城市天际线形象焕然一新。建筑功能分布包含10层公寓住宅、6层办公空间及2层零售商业。塔楼的垂直性特征关联于中世纪城墙及历史老城护城河的水平性特征，形成了建筑一系列反转特征展开的舞台背景。这一67m高的建筑将成为所在城市的绝对地标。

南立面一侧，展开的垂直景观覆盖了大约80%的建筑立面。这一特殊的生长型环境扮演着如同天然“遮阳板”的角色。植物自然调节阳光，夏季为公寓及办公空间提供了天然的日晒防护，避免阳光直射；冬季则尽可能最大限度地令阳光投入室内。“生长的立面”承载了多样的塞浦路斯当地攀缘植物和藤蔓植物，并将随着季节循环更迭而不断变换。在建筑周边，树龄高达400年的橄榄树令这一垂直景观得以延展。在公寓与办公部分，特别设置的室内/室外凉廊，将起居与活动空间向外扩展，以实现对尼科西亚温和气候优势的最大利用。

在北立面一侧，凉廊伸展到室外，以充分利用面向公园与城市天际线的景观优势。一系列层叠的露台和大阳台反映了地中海的气候特征并强调了享受户外时光的重要性。东西两侧的凉廊则自像素化的混凝土立面内向展开，保证公寓居民和办公空间使用者不受噪音、强风和烈日的侵扰。

通过随机阵列的、部分安装玻璃部分开敞的开洞，尤其在花园部分，墙体的实体性被难以胜数的穿洞所消解。意趣十足的光影游戏随着一天中太阳角度的变化界定了室外与室内空间。40cm×40cm大小窗洞与空洞的聚集组合创造了一张自室内看向室外或是自室内看向室外的滤镜屏。夜里，作为巨大屏幕的墙体呈现出居民的照明需求，同时也愈加强化了立面的随机开洞系统。

在塔楼的最顶两层，布置了围绕中央庭院展开的复式公寓，这是受到塞浦路斯传统建筑启发而设计的。3片巨大的遮阳板在为公寓提供夏季遮阳的同时也强调了朝向天空的视野。

该项目将推动景观与塔楼建筑一体化整合的进程达到新的高度，同时也为尼科西亚提供了代表城市未来的一处全新的建筑地标。（陈茜 译）

The iconic tower designed by Jean Nouvel at the centre of Nicosia, next to Eleftheria Square transforms the city silhouette of Nicosia. The programme 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-metre-high building will be the culminating landmark of the city.

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-year-old olive trees continue this vertical landscape on the perimetre 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.

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.

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.

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 40cm × 40cm 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 façade.

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

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

评论

宋晔皓：白墙项目引发我思考的地方是：本来不大的单层面积中，分出一部分用来做自然绿化，为植物提供生长空间。植物生长的同时建筑也获得了生命，是一种非常和谐的共生环境，跟建筑的功能也完美契合。

光、影、植物的生长、植物与人的交流，是这个建筑最令人感动的地方。

我最好奇的一点是颜色的选择：为什么建筑师选择白色作为一种主要的色调？是为了衬托出植物色彩的斑斓？区别于周围的建筑环境？还是突出夜间灯光的温馨？或者就是为了与众不同？无论哪一个原因，白色的控制是非常有技巧的选择，正是因为上述那些因素的存在，无论植物、阳光、灯光、周围建筑的颜色，包括立面上看似随机的洞口，让本来突兀的白色，通过各种杂糅，成为了一种背景。

来自技术专家的点评

冯雅：塞浦路斯传统典雅的垂直通透建筑立面形成了“挡板式遮阳”，并利用攀缘植物来调节阳光，避免夏季阳光直射造成室内的过热；冬季植物凋零能最大限度地吸收阳光进入室内，从而实现对尼科西亚温和气候的自然调节。

户外层叠的露台和阳台提供适宜的阳光和空气，保证地中海的气候公寓和办公空间使用者不受噪音、强风和烈日的侵扰，景观与塔楼建筑一体化的巨大的遮阳板为公寓提供了夏季遮阳与灰空间，同时为人们提供了紧密结合自然和连续的景观视野，成为尼科西亚城市未来一处全新的地标。

Comment

SONG Yehao:The White Walls project caused me to think: given the small floor area, a part of it is used for greening to provide space for plants to grow. As the plant grows, the building also gains life. It is a very harmonious symbiotic environment and fits perfectly with the functions of the building.

The light, the shadow, the growth of the plant and the plant-to-human communication are the most moving part of this building.

What I am curious about most is the choice of colour: Why does the architect choose white as the dominate tone? Is it to bring out the colour of the plant? To be different from the surrounding built environment? Or to highlight the warmth of night lights? Or is it just to be different? For whatever reason, the white wall is a very skillful choice. Because of the above factors - the colour of the plants, the sun, the lights, the surrounding buildings, including the seemingly random openings on the façade, and through the mixture of these elements, the original abrupt white colour has become a background.(Translated by QI Yiyi)

From technical expert

FENG Ya: The traditional and elegant vertical transparent architectural façade of Cyprus forms a "baラe-type sunshade". Besides, climbing plants are used to adjust the sunlight, avoiding indoor overheating caused by direct sunlight in the summer. When winter is coming, plants without leaves can maximise the amount of sunlight into the room, thus achieving a natural adjustment of the mild climate of Nicosia.

The outdoor terraces and balconies provide suitable sunlight and air to ensure that people in the apartments and offices are free from noise, strong winds and hot sun in the Mediterranean climate. The gigantic sunshade panels as an integration of the landscape and the tower building form summer shading and grey space for the apartments and provide people with natureimbedded and continuous views to the landscape. In the future, it will become a brand new landmark in the city of Nicosia. (Translated by CHEN Xi)
