根据最新发布的视频报道，美国建筑师Jeanne Gang表示Vista公寓的外形灵感来源于自然水晶的结构，这幢位于芝加哥的摩天大楼，将会成为目前世界上最高的由女性建筑师设计的建筑。

塔楼高1140英尺（348米）, 由Gang工作室设计，在视频中，开发人员公布了最新的建筑内部和外观效果图。

In a newly released video, American architect Jeanne Gang explains how natural crystal formations inspired the shape of Vista Residences, a new skyscraper proposed for Chicago that will be the world's tallest building designed by a woman .
Along with the video, the developer has released new interior and exterior images of the 1,140-foot-tall (348 metre) tower by Studio Gang.



Vista公寓将会成为继威利斯塔楼和特朗普国际大厦之后，芝加哥第三高的建筑物。项目团队表示这是目前世界上女性建筑师设计的最高的一幢大楼。

建筑物由三段不同高度的玻璃幕墙塔楼构成，分别是47层、71层和93层。从外观上看，透过波浪形的外墙，可以俯瞰芝加哥河与密歇根湖的风景。

Vista Residences will be the third tallest building in Chicago behind the Willis Tower and Trump International Hotel and Tower. It is slated to be the tallest building in the world designed by a woman, according to the team behind the project.
The design features a trio of glass towers arranged in a row, with heights of 47, 71, and 93 storeys. Renderings show wavy facades that overlook the Chicago River and Lake Michigan.



Gang阐释聚集的结构设计灵感来自于大自然——特别是一种被称为“截锥体”的特殊晶体，它像一个没有塔尖的金字塔。

“我们偶然发现了这种自然形成的几何形态，事实上，它存在于在萤石和蓝宝石的晶体结构中，这就是所谓的‘截椎体’。”Gang说道。

Gang said the massing was inspired by nature – specifically a type of crystal formation called "frustum," which resembles a pyramid without a pointy peak.
"With Vista, we stumbled upon this naturally forming geometry in nature. It's called a 'frustum.' It's found in crystal formations – fluorite and sapphire, actually," said Gang.



“通过叠加和翻转，我们反复重复这个波动形态，不论是对于城市还是朝向天空，都创造出了一种有趣的景观”。

塔楼由不同颜色的玻璃覆盖，这些颜色均从水中提取而来。“我们使用各种各样的湖蓝色，从深至浅，整幢建筑呈现出一种波浪起伏的效果。”Gang表示。

该综合体将包含400多间公寓和一个酒店，住宅单元平均2500平方英尺（232平方米）。该项目还要求设置一个酒窖、品酒室和体验式厨房。

该项目预计2020年完工。假设它获得所有必要的批准，摩天大楼将在11公顷的Lakeshore East发展区综合地产项目的北部边缘继续开发。

"By stacking those and turning them over, we get this undulation in and out, which creates really interesting views either toward the city or skyward."
The towers are sheathed in varying colours of glass that take their cue from the water. "We're using a variety of lake blue colours, from the deeper to the lighter, to create a wave gradient across the overall height of the building," said Gang.
The complex will contain more than 400 apartments and a hotel, with residential units averaging 2,500 square feet (232 square meters). The project also calls for a wine cellar, tasting room, and demonstration kitchen.
Completion is scheduled for 2020. Assuming it receives all necessary approvals, the skyscraper will rise on the northern edge of the 11-hectare Lakeshore East development.



该项目是中国房地产开发商万达集团和芝加哥Magellan集团的合作项目。最初的设计方案在2014年底首次亮相。

“这将会对Lakeshore East社区产生巨大影响，该社区是芝加哥最抢手的居住区之一。”Magellan在最近一份声明中表示。

总体规划由SOM设计，Lakeshore East发展区综合地产项目建立在铁路区旧址上。它已经包含了公寓楼、商店、学校和酒店，所有这些都围绕着一个中央公园。

The project is backed by Chinese developer Wanda Group and Chicago-based Magellan Development Group. The initial design was first unveiled in late 2014.
"This will be a huge contributor to the Lakeshore East community, one of the most sought-after neighbourhoods to live in Chicago," said Magellan in a recent statement.
Master planned by SOM, the Lakeshore East development was built on the site of a former rail yard. It already includes apartment blocks, shops, a school, and a hotel, all of which are arranged around a central park.



Gang工作室曾在这里设计了另一幢建筑，261米高（856英尺）的Aqua塔楼，已于2011年竣工。

“Magellan 从最开始就觉察出整个项目的潜力。"Gang在新的视频中说道，“他们已经成功完成了非常有凝聚力的社区，他们真正的和我有一个共同的愿景，创建新的社区，他们明白建造一座好的建筑意味着什么。”

Gang补充说，在她的公司里大部分设计是以社区为中心的。“我们真正地思考人类需求、人们如何使用空间，以及人们如何在空间内彼此联系。”Gang表示。

Studio Gang designed another building there – the 261-metre-high (856-feet) Aqua tower, which was completed in 2011.
"Magellan from the beginning saw the potential for that whole piece of property," said Gang in the new video. "They've been able to pull off a very cohesive community. They really have the same vision as I do for creating community. They understand what it means to do good architecture."
Gang added that most of her firm's work is centred on the idea of community. "We really think about people, and how people use space, and how people relate to each other within space," she said.



Gang，世界上最杰出的女建筑师之一，她在1997年在芝加哥设立总部开始建筑实践。

“芝加哥是一座建筑之城，它是美国最典型城市。现代主义在这里飞速发展。”Gang在最近的视频说，“同时这也是我的家，所以我当然选择在这里开始我的实践工作。”

Gang, one of the most world's most prominent female architects, started her Chicago-based practice in 1997.
"Chicago is a city all about architecture. It's the most American city. It's really where modernism started taking off," said Gang in the recent video. "It's also my home, so it was a natural place to begin my practice."



Gang工作室的其他项目还包括一幢位于迈阿密的14层公寓，密歇根的社会正义中心，芝加哥船屋等。

该公司也为坐落于芝加哥海滨的新乔治•卢卡斯叙事艺术博物馆提供城市设计部分，MAD事务所负责建筑设计。

芝加哥最近一直在头版头条，因为芝加哥将举办首届国际建筑双年展。这一国际性的活动将于十月三日开幕，举办超过300个项目，包括展览、装置艺术展示。

Other projects by Studio Gang include a 14-storey apartment building proposed for Miami, a social justice centre in Michigan, and a boathouse in Chicago.
The firm is also providing urban design services for a new George Lucas Museum of Narrative Art along Chicago's waterfront, with MAD leading the architectural design.
Chicago has been in the headlines lately, as the city gears up for its first Chicago Architectural Biennial. Opening 3 October, the international event will feature exhibitions, installations, and more than 300 programs.
