建筑师Maurice Shapero设计的利物浦十字形摩天楼

建筑师Maurice Shapero公布了他位于英格兰利物浦的十字形摩天楼方案，这个当地最高的建筑约67层、200米高，功能包含了公寓、办公室和商业等。塔楼两侧水平伸展的悬臂形成的狭长空间将作为饭店使用，置身其中可以从这个永生难忘的角度俯瞰城市。

设计师在解释这个突出的结构时说：所有的竖直元素都需要对比，一个戏剧性的悬臂饭店打破了建筑高耸的形式。讨论到这个十字型建筑的宗教意向，建筑师说：这是一个人类精神终极去处的象征。但当这座建筑的形式源于我自己的研究、想像和推论的时候，是否该回避它？这座建筑将被命名为爱德华国王塔，源于曾经占据在这里的酒吧的名字。建筑师将在明年初提交规划申请。

News: architect Maurice Shapero has released plans for a cross-shaped skyscraper on the waterfront in Liverpool, England.At nearly 200 metres in the 67-storey tower would be the tallest building in the city and would contain apartments, offices and shops.The horizontal element would cantilever out from both sides of the tower to accommodate a long and narrow restaurant with an impressive view across the city rooftops.“All this verticality needs a counter,” said Shapero, explaining the decision to add the projecting floor. “A dramatic cantilevered restaurant breaks the form high in the sky.”Discussing the religious imagery of the cruciform shape, the architect said: “This is the symbol which references one of the ultimate places in human spirituality. But should I be restricted from using it when it has come from my own investigation, imagination, conclusion?”The building will be named the King Edward Tower, in reference to a pub that formerly occupied part of the site, and the architect plans to submit a planning application early next year.
