7月27日，马岩松带领的MAD建筑事务所在墨尔本公布了 “Southbank by Beulah” 超高层国际竞赛的概念方案。MAD尝试将墨尔本丰富的自然环境垂直延展于高层设计中，在高密度城市环境中营造“云端、高山、丛林”的自然意境，消除传统高密度城市所带有的隔阂感，以更亲切的尺度拉近市民与社区、自然的距离，并以自然的形态点缀墨尔本的城市天际线，成为墨尔本未来独一无二的城市地标。

MAD reveals its proposal for the “Southbank by Beulah” tower competition. Defying the typical glass, box-like buildings of Melbourne that appear detached from the city’s historic parks and natural local terrain, MAD’s organic design introduces a silhouette of natural forms – mountain, tree, cloud – into the dense city center, offering a distinct and iconic scheme for the skyline, that reconnects citizens with nature.

较早前，与当地建筑事务所Elenberg Fraser合作的MAD，作为唯一来自亚洲的建筑事务所入围国际竞赛最后阶段，与其余五家国际事务所OMA, BIG, MVRDV, UN Studio, 蓝天组共同为Beulah International 位于墨尔本Southbank的一块基地面积为6000平方米的场地设计包括酒店、住宅、办公、商业的超高层综合体。

Selected as the only firm from Asia by Beulah International, MAD is competing alongside BIG, Coop Himmelb(l)au, MVRDV, OMA, and UNStudio to conceive a mixed-use program of more than 220,000sqm for the heart of Melbourne – a piece of urban infrastructure that re-thinks the commercial, residential, retail, and public spaces of the city – along the city’s prestigious waterfront precinct.

Southbank，是墨尔本最密集的社区之一，密布多栋高层建筑。MAD经过研究后决定采用“单塔”的建筑形体，最大程度优化建筑视野，以及体量对市容社区的影响。MAD设计的这座未来的墨尔本地标建筑，高度360米，仿佛是在城市中从大地破土而出的参天大树，高耸入云，形态自然且坚定有力，与周边的传统方盒子高层建筑形成了鲜明对比。

Located at the corner of City Road and Southbank Boulevard, the site is positioned in a dense part of Melbourne’s downtown core, surrounded by a number of other existing towers facing one another. Carefully studying the tower’s site and composition, we propose a one-tower strategy to avoid over-crowding, provide the surrounding high-rises with open sightlines, and maximize views from the residential and hotel programs on the upper floors.

零售、商业所处的建筑低层，像是一座山丘，商业单元犹如一座座小木屋，形成了“山中的村落”； “木屋”之间，绿色植物墙布满了建筑表面，为繁忙的闹市带来了大自然的生气。木脊线与透明玻璃交织而成的建筑幕墙，就像是根茎盘绕的树干，顺势往上生长至云端。建筑顶部的“云”，尽享360度的开阔城市景观，这里将会成为酒店的公共区域；而它的ETFE结构使得“云”边缘逐渐消隐，就像是一朵真正飘在空中的云。

At podium level, we break down the typical massing of a retail/mall space, and introduce a human-scale, ‘mountain village’ that invites passersby to explore. Urban spaces are stacked vertically, and landscaped with lush green walls and trees to give visitors and residents alike, the feeling that they are in nature, rather than in the middle of the city. The tower rises up out of the village like a tree. Clad in transparent glass, it boasts an innovative wood façade structure (Glulam) that appears to be roots twisting upwards, reinforcing the tower’s organic shape; with sky gardens interspersed throughout that vertically extend the urban green. The pinnacle of the design is ‘the cloud’ – a cantilevered structure that houses the public amenities for the hotel (lobby, restaurant, bar, and observation deck), and offers 360° views of Melbourne. Composed of an ETFE membrane façade, it is lightweight and features varying degrees of transparency. Towards the edges, ‘the cloud’ becomes translucent, emulating a real cloud so that it gives the sensation of air and lightness, becoming a blur as it blends into the sky.

除了商业业态外，“森林塔”同时也设计了为社区服务的文化及公共空间，包括礼堂、音乐厅、图书馆、艺术空间、托儿场所等。靠近Southbank大道的一方是市民可到达及使用的公共空间，市民可在此休憩、互动。

At street level, our tower maintains a cohesive design language with the Southbank Boulevard transformation. We replace the existing harsh, unfriendly experience, with an inviting plaza landscape that integrates urban activation spaces, and revitalizes the street level in a way that encourages people to gather and linger. Conceived as a series of small, green foothills that lead pedestrians up to the ‘mountain village’, our scheme links the groundplane to the building. We bring nature into the urban context, by remodeling the typical high-rises found in our cities. Materializing as a ‘mountain in the city’, our design establishes open connections between the interior and exterior spaces in the form of large terraces, gardens, and public art zones.
