Winner of 2016 eVolo Skyscraper Competition-“New York Horizon” by Jianshi Wu & Yitan Sun

The Winning Proposal 获奖概念

与其它传统摩天楼一样向上垂直构建不同“纽约水平线”方案则通过将中央公园向下挖掘至岩床层——这一示范了一种新的模式，一是其反映了中央公园特色的自然地形，同时通过延绵不绝的玻璃墙面让环绕外的住宅商业区域和对新地下公园呈现出一副清晰的视角。该项目概念是和当下城市密集建造高层塔楼模式形成对比，他们目的是提供给纽约居民一个接近自然的环境，使他们可以享受并且作为逃离忙碌都市生活的一个闲暇休息之所。从公园转移的土壤可以被用于添加更多的动态景观（如小山、丘陵等）给曼哈顿其他缺乏景观的区域。这也将创造一种全新的都市环境——这些被移动的景观将各自成为这座城市的凝聚力。这个重新绘制的公园蓝图将会开放徒步、攀岩、游泳等户外运动功能空间。并且周围摩天楼的玻璃幕墙将会完整的投射出公园的自然地形，并会制造了一种在钢铁森林曼哈顿的心脏部位居然生长出了一片看似永无止境的绿色自然世界的幻觉。

Rather than constructing a traditional skyscraper by building upwards, “New York Horizon” envisions a new paradigm by digging downward to Central Park’s bedrock, which will reveal the park’s rugged natural terrain while also creating a continuous wall of skyscrapers around its periphery to house habitable spaces with unobstructed views of the new underground park. The project was conceived to contrast against the city’s densely constructed buildings and towering skyscrapers, as well as, to provide New Yorkers with a natural environment that they could enjoy and use as an escape from their busy urban lives.This reimagined parkland would allow for hiking, climbing, swimming and other outdoor activities. And finally, the reflective glass façade canvassing the wall of skyscrapers will reflect the park’s natural terrain and create the illusion of a never-ending natural world within the heart of Manhattan’s concrete jungle, while also offering New Yorkers’ a perspective of the landscape that is not limited by the park’s physical boundaries.

The Structure 结构

这个300米高、30米厚的巨型结构建筑将在中间创造18平方公里（相当80倍于帝国大厦）的面积将引入具有多样性的自然景观。而环绕新公园周围的7英里长的类墙体巨型结构会在30米的厚度中包含公寓、店铺、博物馆、图书馆等功能分区的同时并不阻碍对新公园的视野和连接性。基于曼哈顿的城市网络，这里会从59街至110街之间中选择一个单独的街道使之连成直线作为主要的动线汇集的中心（主要动线循环系统：升降梯）去引导人们前往底部公园区域和其他楼层。而次级循环系统（坡道与楼梯）将在不同尺度下连接不同独立空间。

The 1000ft (300m) tall, 100ft (30m) wide wall of skyscrapers/mega-structure would create 7 square miles (18 square kms) (80 times greater than the Empire State Building) of habitable indoor space, while introducing a more natural diversity and verticality to the old­1.3 square mile (3.6 square km)­flat Central Park.The seven­-mile­-perimeter wraparound mega-structure would contain apartments, retails, museums, libraries, etc. within the 100 feet (30m) deep inhabitable walls, with an unobstructed view and connection to the park.Following Manhattan’s city grid, there are main circulation cores (elevators) that would align with very single street from 59th to 110th street to transfer people down to the park, as well as to other various floors. Secondary circulation (ramps, stairs) would connect separate spaces in various scales between the cores.
