墨爾本大廈設(shè)計(jì)靈感來自碧昂絲曼妙身姿

In the Ghost film clip, faceless contortionists twist around while trapped inside stretchy material covering their entire bodies. Their shapes are very reminiscent of the building's structures. Beyoncé also wears flowing black silk in the video as she twists around in front of a wind machine.
在《Ghost》MV中，柔術(shù)演員并未露臉。他們?nèi)肀焕г谟袕椥缘牟剂现校粩嗯?dòng)身體。他們的身姿很容易讓人聯(lián)想到大廈的結(jié)構(gòu)。視頻中，碧昂絲也穿著柔滑的黑色絲綢，在風(fēng)力機(jī)前扭動(dòng)身體。

The incredible shape of the building isn't just because the developers love pop music, but also has a complex explanation from an engineering point.
大廈的外觀令人驚嘆，這不僅是因?yàn)樵O(shè)計(jì)者喜歡流行音樂，他們還從工程學(xué)的角度進(jìn)行了深?yuàn)W的詮釋。

'The complex form – a vertical cantilever – is actually the most effective way to redistribute the building's mass, giving the best results in terms of structural dispersion, frequency oscillation and wind requirements,' the artists explain for those scientifically-inclined. 'Art and science? You betcha.'
面對更相信科學(xué)的人，藝術(shù)家們這樣解釋：“垂直懸臂這樣的復(fù)雜外觀其實(shí)是重新分配建筑質(zhì)量的最有效的辦法，結(jié)構(gòu)分布、振蕩頻率、通風(fēng)需求這些方面都能達(dá)到最優(yōu)效果。兼顧了藝術(shù)與科學(xué)？那還用說。”

The design is also a solution to climate, wind and other limitations which arose from the site in the western end of Melbourne's CBD.
由于大廈地處墨爾本CBD的最西邊，這樣的設(shè)計(jì)還是應(yīng)對氣候、氣流等其他局限性的好辦法。

The 68-storey structure will boast 660 apartments and a 160-room hotel.
大樓共68層，將提供660套公寓和一個(gè)擁有160間客房的酒店。
