总部位于北京的Buro Ole Scheeren公司近日公布了对于现代都市新加坡多功能、高层建筑的规划。该双塔建筑以“DUO”为名，未想过将其设计为独立的建筑，而是融汇于周围的空间之中。

其弯曲的正面建筑立于城市之中，构建了“新公民核心”，同时兼具优质写字楼、五星级酒店、660栋高端住宅单位和特色鲜明的零售商店。DUO建筑由德国建筑师奥雷舍人领导实施，奥雷舍人以其北京中央电视台总部大楼OMA而出名，最近还设计了漂浮影院。该项目预计于明年破土动工，并于2017年完工。

新加坡一直被列为亚洲最宜居住的城市之一。然而，其独立的塔楼建筑越来越占主导地位，它们却易打破社会联系。其规划面临双重困境：它将该地分为两个独立的部分，而留下的塔体的巨大足迹，可能会造成对周围环境和临近具有历史意义的甘榜格南区的融洽氛围带来压倒感。

DUO的设计以一系列的凹运动构型从留出的建筑体中减去了圆形雕刻，从而打造了城市空间——一种“城市poché”，共同选择相邻的建筑并使双塔同时融入到其周围环境。通过缩减的建筑过程而建成的大规模建筑，新塔楼的立体图最终缩减成细长的外形。其垂直的外墙沿街高耸挺立，而其网状的六边形图案的遮阳篷加强了动态的凹进形。双塔建筑的雕刻进一步突出了其一系列的悬臂结构和壁阶，使得建筑轮廓产生了精心设计的运动感。

从上向下看，该建筑达到地面时，为该地提供了多孔隙透性景观，达到了非物质化的效果。休闲区和花园作为多个交通枢纽之间的连接，并建造了向公众每天24小时开放的热带植被区和热闹的商业活动。雕刻成塔中心的一个广场，将其邻近建筑物融为了其整体的一部分，形成了甘榜格南这一历史悠久的地区和城市商业走廊扩展之间一个新的公众联系。

多层次的垂直连接为酒店顾客和居民提供了大型大型露台，位于办公室/酒店大楼顶楼上，是一个公共观景台和高空餐厅，同时其垂直连接还可以直通邻近的MRT地铁站。其交通被抬离地面，为行人提供了不间断行走的空间。在地面的外围景观、高架露台和屋顶景观在一起为该地提供了100％的绿色景观空间。

该建筑设计中，通过被动式和主动式节能设计和自然通风把环境因素纳入发展战略。对其方向进行了优化，有利于获取阳光和风向角，而其凹建筑体还可以捕获风，并有利于风流在该地的流动，促进在阴凉户外空间的凉爽的小气候。
这两个雕塑塔将作为城市空间的发电机，以一种共生的相互关系拥抱城市空间，以改变周围多方位的城市结构。

Site Area: 26,700m2
Gross Floor Area: appx. 285,838m2 (3.08 million sq.ft.)
Height: 186 meters (Residential Tower, 50 floors above ground); 170 meters (Office/ Hotel Tower, 39 floors above ground)

Beijing-based Büro Ole Scheeren has released plans for a mixed-use, high-rise development in the modern metropolis of Singapore. Titled ‘DUO’, the twin towers are not intended to be conceived as autonomous objects, but defined by the spaces they create around them. Their curved facades engages the city and frames a “new civic nucleus” at its base, while featuring premium offices, a five-star hotel, 660 high-end residential units and signature retail space.

DUO is lead by German-born architect Ole Scheeren, whose best known for his work with OMA on Beijing’s CCTV headquarters and has recently turned heads with the popular floating Archipelago Cinemas. The project is expected for completion by 2017, with construction planned to break ground next year.
Singapore consistently ranks as one of Asia’s most livable cities. However, it is increasingly dominated by isolated individual towers that favor exclusion over social connectivity. The prescribed zoning confronts the project with a dual dilemma: it splits the site into two separate pieces, and leaves large, bulky footprints for the resulting tower envelopes which risk overpowering the surroundings and the intimate scale of the adjacent historic Kampong Glam district.

The design for DUO subtracts circular carvings from the allowable building volumes in a series of concave movements that generate urban spaces – a kind of “urban poché” that co-opts adjacent buildings and symbiotically inscribes the two towers into their context.
By generating the massing through a subtractive process, the elevations of the new towers are reduced to slender profiles. Vertical facades rise skywards along the adjoining roads, while a net-like hexagonal pattern of sunshades reinforces the dynamic concave shapes. The duo of tower volumes is further sculpted to feature a series of cantilevers and setbacks that evoke choreographed kinetic movements of the building silhouettes.
The buildings dematerialize as they reach the ground to provide a porous permeable landscape traversing the site. Leisure zones and gardens act as a connector between multiple transport hubs and establish a flow of tropical greenery and lively commercial activity, accessible to the public 24 hours a day. A plaza, carved into the center of the towers and integrating the neighboring building as part of its perimeter, forms a new public nexus between the historic district of Kampong Glam and the extension of the city’s commercial corridor.
Multiple levels of vertical connectivity give access to large elevated terraces for the hotel and residents, a public observation deck and a sky restaurant atop the office/hotel tower, while establishing a direct connection to the adjacent underground MRT subway station. Vehicular traffic is lifted off the ground to allow uninterrupted pedestrian circulation. Extensive landscape areas at the ground levels, elevated terraces, and roofscapes provide accessible green space equal to 100% of the site area.
The development incorporates environmental strategies through passive and active energy efficient design and naturally ventilated spaces. The building’s orientation is optimized to prevailing sun and wind angles, while the concave building massing captures and channels wind flows through and across the site, fostering cool microclimates within the shaded outdoor spaces.

Embracing civic spaces in a symbiotic relationship with each other and thereby transforming the surrounding multivalent urban fabric, the two sculpted towers act as urban space generators.
