1、高考资源网（） 您身边的高考专家Tell me a little bit about the inspiration behind building something that just has a triangular look to it.Yes. Well, we wanted to create a lot of, a sense of lightness, a very light presence in the sky of London.Because London is not a city of skyscrapers. Yeah.I mean this building

2、is at the foot of the Old Bridge of London, the first bridge of London. And its made a lot of sense to make a spire-shaped building which has a light presence going to the top, and disappearing in the sky. So this was a very, very important point for us to build them, because of its mixed shoes what

3、 weve just explained before we can do it. We have large floor plates for the offices, and then the building gets more slender to the top, and the lighter to the top.We have a public viewing gallery. So you can take your children out there and then enjoy the views of London.Richard, I heard it cost a

4、bout 25 pounds to get up to the place. Yes, uh we .But in terms of, you mentioned that the London skyline. London is not known for its skyscrapers. Its not a city,even though as a world-class city, its known not like New York, or Hong Kong, or even, some would say now Dubai with its high skyscrapers

5、, as it is. Why not, then, go for as high as you can? Why not make it the tallest building in the world?I think its a matter of scale or I think a building and it stands amid as in London is a very tall building.Its not so much about the height of the building. Its more about its proportion as a pre

6、sence. And I think this height, and weve been able to make it slender, it makes a lot of sense. So I dont think we need to go high in that sense.If you can describe it for or explain it to me as simply as possible. Talk to me about the physics of it. I mean that it seems as though if something that

7、could .Well, actually to build a spire-shaped tower makes a lot of sense. Because its stronger at the bottom, it holds.And then it gets more slender, it takes less wind force at the top. So its a very logical engineer in shape. So with the engineer, we are actually being able to build a very economi

8、c and very rational tower. It may not look like what it actually is, because the physics makes sense being slender at the top, being larger at the bottom.Therere a lot of interesting things, a lot of interesting facts about this building. I hear theres 95% of the construction materials are as from r

9、ecycled materials. Talk to me about the importance of that.Well, I think were living in a more and more fragile world today. So, so we need to be responsible, and build responsible. For example youd have a facade, we have a very active facade so all the sun radiation, is taken out of the building wi

10、th blinds in the double facades. So it was very active and intelligent facade. So its very important if you, if you work until that you with and, and to improve the performances of the building.告诉我一些关于建筑一些东西的灵感来源, 毕竟你们最初只是有一个三角形的形象。是的。嗯,我们想创建大量的、有种纤细的感觉, 让伦敦的天空具有淡淡的那种存在感。因为伦敦并不是一个城市的摩天大楼。是的。我的意思是在这座

11、建筑是在古老的伦敦的第一座桥梁脚下。尖塔外形建筑赋予它很多的意义，在顶端有一种非常纤细的存在感,最终消失在天空中。所以这是我们建造它非常,非常重要的一点,因为我们在能做到之前已经解释过。我们为办公室准备了大的地板,然后直到大楼顶部建筑物变得更苗条,到顶部越发纤细。我们有一个公共观景画廊。所以你可以带你的孩子去那里尽享伦敦的风景。理查德,我听说来一次这个地方要花费25磅。是的,嗯,我们.但从你提到伦敦全景。我想说的是伦敦不是因摩天大楼而闻名。它不像是一个城市,尽管作为一个世界级城市,但它的知名不像纽约或香港,甚至有人说,现在的迪拜以其摩天大楼而知名。那么,为什么不尽你们所能使它达到最高呢?为什么

12、不让它成为世界上最高的建筑?我认为这是一个规模的重要问题或我认为这栋建筑拔地而起后它在伦敦就是一个非常高的建筑。与其说它是关于建筑的高度。更多是关于它作为一种存在的感觉。而且我认为这样的高度,我们已经能使它修长,它是有很多意义的。所以我不认为我们在这种层面上需要再加高。如果你可以尽可能的简单易懂的这样描述或解释给我。跟我谈谈物理。我的意思是,好像如果一些东西,可以.实际上,建造一座螺旋形状的塔很有意义。因为它要求底部坚实,因为它要承重。并且它在之后变得更苗条, 在顶部它需要更少风的阻力。所以这是一位非常合乎逻辑的工程师的杰作。所以有了这位工程师,我们实际上是能够建造一座非常经济及非常合理的塔。这看起来可能不像它真正的样子,因为物理作用使顶部更加苗条,底部更加坚实。还有很多有趣的事情, 这幢建筑有许多有趣的事情。我听说有95%的建筑材料是由回收材料制造。谈谈这一点的重要性。嗯,我认为我们现今生活在一个越来越脆弱的世界。所以,所以我们需要有责任,并建立责任感。例如你会有一个帷幕,我们有一个多功能的帷幕，能够致盲所有太阳辐射使其进入到双重帷幕当中。这是非常积极和智能的帷幕。所以这是非常重要的,如果你,如果你一直努力,就会自然而然提高建筑物的能力。 版权所有高考资源网
