"ARCHIBIOTIC"(建筑Architecture+生物科技Biotechnology+通讯技术TIC/ICT)概念的创建者,将生物模拟、生物型态主义与仿生规则整合于都市中,将实验室中的基础科学研究与产业上的应用研究相互连接,进而使我们的城市变身为生态系统,市郊变为森林,建筑物变为可供生物栖息的树木,开创全新的生态责任生活方式。同时Vincent Callebaut提出了"巴黎智慧城市2050计划"。2014年"陶朱隐园"项目获得芝加哥建筑设计博物馆颁发的"国际建筑奖"。他在埃及开罗打造的"大赫里奥波里斯"项目(多功能综合建筑群)预计于2020年完工。Vincent Callebaut曾获选为五十大"绿色星球建筑师"之一;纽约时代杂志将他誉为"在处理全球环境与社会问题上,最具生态前瞻性的设计师之一"。
2010年11月,VINCENT CALLEBAUT ARCHITECTURES SARL中标了台北一栋新的奢华住宅楼——陶朱隐园,该项目正在施工,并将在2017年竣工。
生态理念
陶朱隐园项目在台北市信义区全面发展的城市网络中心提出了一个可持续住宅生态建设的先锋理念,旨在通过研究人与自然之间的正确共生方式来约束其居民的生态足迹。
项目所在的位置是该区域最后也是最大的一块住宅用地,这个设计概念是想建立一个真正低能耗的垂直景观片段。所以这栋建筑采用生态化的设计,不仅把有机废物和污水的再利用整合在一起,还采用了所有可再生能源技术和其他最先进的纳米技术(BIPV太阳能光伏发电、雨水回收利用、堆肥等)。因此,该项目的目标是提高能效并通过绿色建筑官方认证,并满足台北内政部发布的关于高环境质量的规范。
概念之一是楼里的居民居住并栽培垂直农场,因而这栋住宅楼前卫的建筑造型首先创造了一种依据自然和气候设计的新生活方式。实际上,陶朱隐园在垂直方向上提供了宽敞的阳台作为种植果园、有机菜园、芳香花园和其他药用花园之用。它就像一个活的有机体,可以进行新陈代谢!它超越了能耗的被动角色(只会吸收所有的自然资源然后排出废物),实现了自己生产有机食品。因此,该建筑理念是设计一个能源自给自足的建筑,其能量是电、热以及食物。
因此,该项目直接回应了后哥本哈根时代的四个主要生态目标:1)减少全球气候变暖;2)保护自然和生物的多样性;3)保护环境和生活质量;4)管理自然资源和废物。
最后,根据再生设计理论,避免无谓的"失去"即所有东西都自我转化;所有的建筑和装饰材料会选择有回收和(或)可回收标签的产品。通过对自然生态系统的模仿,重塑台湾工业和建筑的进程,从而提供清洁的解决方案,并创建一切都能够被重复使用的工业周期,要么以无毒的有机营养物回归大地、要么以能无限循环使用的技术营养素重回产业。作为生物技术的原型,陶朱隐园项目揭示了人类活动与对自然的积极影响的共生关系。
形态理念
该项目既非单塔亦非双塔,而是沿着中央核心以两个螺旋塔升向天空。该建筑提供了一个高度压缩的内核和具有极大灵活性的居住层(即实现了不通过任何人行天桥就能将两个公寓单元连接起来),同时还提供了看向城市景观和多个悬浮花园的低视角。
正如它的名字,设计灵感来自于生命之源——DNA(脱氧核糖核酸)的双螺旋结构,生机勃勃、成双成对。在项目中每个双螺旋结构都表现为由两套公寓组成的一个完整楼层。因此,从它的底部到顶部,20层双螺旋结构在伸展过程中扭转了90°,所形成的弯度隐喻着通用的谐波音乐符号,体现了该项目最终实现的平衡概念。
90°的扭转对四个主要目标的回应
(1)第一个目标是将建筑南、北两侧的金字塔轮廓完美结合。实际上,该建筑的形态是根据其朝向而变化的。它的东、西立面是一个菱形金字塔,而南北立面是反转的倒金字塔。
(2)第二个目标是形成一个最大的悬浮露天花园,而不是容积率的一部分。因此,阳台种植面积很容易满足不低于10%的规定,也完全满足建筑覆盖率的40%,即3 264m2的要求。
(3)第三个目标是通过扩大横向视野,为住户提供无以伦比的台北天际线全景景观,特别是朝向离项目非常近的101大厦和中央商务区的景观。
(4)第四个目标是从一个灵活的标准层生成一个有牛腿的渐变几何形体,通过视线的遮挡保证每间公寓的私密性。
受大自然的启发,陶朱隐园的形状来自于有机液体和动态几何形体。简单而标准化的双螺旋元素上下重叠,每层旋转4.5°,通过凸、凹曲线形成一个多面的形态。
事实上,从周边街道的行人的视角来看,建筑表面的变化形成了新的轮廓。除此之外,穿着植物外衣的动态几何形体有着感性的风格,该项目真正体现了一个内置的生态系统,使动物和植物重回城市的心脏,独自生成一个新的亚热带生物多样性的框架。它将成为城市中一处新的栖息之地!
主要构成要素
繁茂的森林和空地
为了保证居民的私密性,在整个场地的周边挖了一条矿物壕沟,用有机的城市家具让外部的公共空间充满生机。在场地内部,壕沟的墙壁变成了种植围墙。主入口位于松勇路,这里没有城市主干道松高路那么繁忙。塔楼从大树参天、枝叶繁茂的森林中盘旋而起,保护着居民的私密性,并使其免受周围城市污染的伤害。在绿肺的中心,遍植充满异国情调树木的行人广场打开了一块富含矿物和水生植物的空地。
如同由水滴产生的波纹那样,景观设计以塔楼为核心,以圆弧的形式向外辐射。光和大量植物形成的绿瀑通过一个圆形的采光井到达最深的地下室,从而实现了停车场、游泳池和健身房的自然采光和通风。
连接室内外的门厅
两层通高的首层空间,巨大的透明幕墙实现了室内的社区空间和外部的花园之间的连续性。
中央核心区,一个被天空大堂包围的垂直扭转花园
中央核心区把进入同一楼层两个居住单元的垂直流线完全隔离开。这个核心区是固定的(它不转动)。但为了确保楼板的逐层转动,用一条可自然采光的水平环形流线把入口门厅与每个单元连接起来。尽管每层都有4.5°的旋转,这个环形的缓冲区使得主入口始终在每间公寓的轴线上。之前也研究了另一种方法,在圆柱形的中央核心区周围直接设置空中大堂,从而形成能够看到台北市壮观景象的入口门厅。
中央核心区每层有2部楼梯,4部载重量为24人(1 800kg)的高速电梯,1部汽车电梯(也可用于运送大型艺术品、古董豪华车,甚至是巨大的钢琴等),2个玻璃空中车库和所有主要流线的垂直井道。所有这些垂直流线被巨大的预应力承重框架所包裹。
公寓体现了空间与技术的最大的灵活性
平均面积为540m2的公寓被置于中央核心区旁边两个种满植物的扭转形体里。每个住宅单元是由空腹梁的结构系统支撑形成的楼层,此空腹梁系统只设在偶数楼层,由玻璃幕墙后可以看到。所有楼层的两端都由覆盖着绿墙的两个巨型螺旋柱相连,而所有的公寓是完全没有柱子的。
结构概念的灵感来自于DNA链,它在室内布局方面实现了极大的灵活性,也确保了看向近处的悬浮花园和远处的城市全景的最佳视野。
(1)可以分割成2个或4个单元的4个主要楼层类型的空间灵活性
1)类型A:2个有围绕中央核心区的曲线起居室的单元;2)类型B:2个南立面被拉长的起居室的单元;3)类型C:2个设有全景客厅的单元;4)类型D:4个有两层通高的复式客厅的单元。
除了这些基本的类型外,屋顶还设有两个巨大的会所,为保证建筑体量的效果它们后退了一点。因此,由于相同的标准化双螺旋(每层建筑面积1 250m2)结构形式,楼层的旋转和可定制的室内布局为每一个住户提供独一无二的楼层!
(2)技术灵活性来自于双层板和双层墙的概念
除了空间的灵活性之外,建造系统还为每层的设备路由提供了一个整体的灵活性。附加的垂直管线沿着玻璃幕墙上的"斜井道"布置。每个楼层的双层板系统都集成在双层地板和吊顶的下面。穿过中央核心区的管网(如雨水、使用水、热水、电、地板加热、冷空气、热空气、光纤等)在水平方向上能够毫无困难地服务于所有楼层。此外,蜂窝梁的运用可以保证天花板下方获得最大的净高。每间公寓的内部分隔将根据每位住户的意愿来确定。双层墙集成了许多有用的存储空间,进而沿着建筑的曲轴划分出不同的房间。
(3)通过双层幕墙良好的隔离性实现高能效
陶朱隐园项目的围护结构是每层重复出现的线性水晶立面。每间公寓相同的外墙会先在工厂里预制好,以加快安装速度。为了在夏季减少内部空间的太阳辐射与限制在冬季的热量损失,将会在相应位置分别采用多层玻璃(空腔+聚乙烯醇缩丁醛)或与百叶窗集成在一起的双层外墙。
景观阳台、花卉、水果、蔬菜和芳香植物组成的绿色瀑布
景观概念是建立一个覆盖整个建筑的悬浮花园,塔楼就变成了城市中心一个真正的垂直居住园区。选用的植物尽量采用可以食用的,这样每个居民都可以享用自己的蔬菜。悬浮果园、有机蔬菜园、芳香和药用花园将沿着每间公寓的外围蓬勃生长,充满了又宽又深的花池。花园家具、把废物变成有机肥料的堆肥空间、燃料电池、利用雨水灌溉植物的蓄水箱,以及鸟类的生态巢都会和花池的设计结合在一起。为了保护有机基层免受太阳辐射的损害,种植床上覆盖了一层蜂窝状的贝瑟尔(Bethel)白色花岗岩。陶朱隐园的白色将会呈现出一个新的、象征性的、纯粹而清新的形象。
通过楼塔形态的旋转产生两种非常特别的景观阳台类型,主要有以下两种。
1)上升阳台或凸阳台:露天,可以最大限度地享受阳光,可以栽种亚热带的树木和灌木。我们会倾向于把客厅设置在这边,也可以根据每个居民的意愿在楼板的末端安装光伏遮阳篷,可以用集热器提供卫生间的热水。
2)下降阳台或凹阳台:被上一层楼覆盖,提供一个半遮阳的休闲空间,可以种植花卉、蔬菜、芳香植物和攀爬植物。我们会倾向于把卧室设置在这边。
在扭转的居住层里布置着一些户外花园沐浴的避难所,随着每个公寓的花园盘旋而上。不同于用混凝土、玻璃和钢建成的现代城市,陶朱隐园是城市中心一座扭动的绿山。随着季节的变幻,植物(常绿和落叶)的颜色和丰富程度也会随之改变。夏天垂下绿色的华冠,秋天整座大楼流光溢彩,春天万紫千红,香气扑鼻。这里,芬芳的微气候就是居民最好的福利!
光伏屋顶及植物净化花园
在距地100m高的地方有一个面积为1 000m2的巨大光伏凉棚,它把太阳能转换成直接引入建筑物的电能。在这个蓝色钢板的反射层下面是被全景空中花园所环绕的会所。在花园中,植物能够过滤和净化雨水,并通过重力将其重新注入卫生间的管网。同时,从这个阳台上可以特别清楚地看到101大厦的全景。
自然采光和通风的景观地下室
与传统的梁下只有2.10m高、光线阴暗的停车场相反,陶朱隐园项目的停车场具有自然采光。实际上,与抗震缝结合在一起的采光井让自然光和新鲜空气进入到地下室,从而实现了停车场以及与之相连的设施(游泳池和健身房)的自然通风。地下室的主入口是松勇路上一个富有雕塑感的大门,其灵感来自于螺旋叶。
从地下一层可以到达中央核心区内的两部汽车电梯,并且迅速到达每个公寓门口的空中车库。停车场设计在陶朱隐园酒店原有停车场周边,以控制基础开挖的成本。
只有西南墙进行了调整以建立一个双螺旋的格局。实际上,在大厦连续的旋转过程中,停车场随着内核附近一个沿着出口方向上升的内部螺旋和沿着入口方向下降的螺旋所形成的圆形平面进行变化,整体形成了连续的栏杆以容纳超过230辆轿车和500辆摩托车。板间的最小高度是3.10m,从而提高了舒适性和这栋洁白无瑕的建筑物的气氛。值得注意的是,通过这个停车场实现了大厦结构的整体减重,减少了整个建筑的荷载。
积极生态革命的挑战
在陶朱隐园项目中,生活(Bios)、生物技术(可再生能源技术和纳米技术)和NICT(信息与通信新技术)的结合,非常符合中国古代天人合一的思想;肉体和精神不可分割。相对于以当代生态危机为主题的先锋论调,中国思想更倾向于事物之间的关联而不是分离。人类及其生命框架依赖于各种变量的融合。
正如专门研究古代中国的汉学家葛兰言在1934出版的《中国人的思想》中所写的那样:没有人会反对人类来自于自然;不认为人是独立于已有元素之外的自由元素。中国人只会把时间和空间看作时机和地点的结合。这些都是相互依赖的,构成宇宙的秩序。我们不认为人类可以控制自然或精神可以脱离于物质之外。
在台北的核心区,在景观之上建造城市,再在城市上建造城市,现在是时候让景观在城市中重建自身了!从生态恢复能力这个角度来看,陶朱隐园必须被看作是地理学的抽象和生态系统的变形。陶朱隐园在为明天重归生态城市生活的努力中建立了一个大自然!这座大厦明确而肯定地揭示了在住宅楼中重塑一种自给自足、前所未有的新生活方式的挑战。这是一个在世界上独一无二的项目,在东方的天空展示着其独特的魅力和诗意,它有着宽敞的悬挑私家花园的精致的空中别墅。
最后但并非最不重要的,它是继著名的101大厦之后的又一个独特的生态里程碑与可持续发展的新标志!(译/马琴,校/吴春花)
In November 2010, VINCENT CALLEBAUT ARCHITECTURES SARL was awarded as the successful tenderer for the construction of a new Luxurious Residential Tower located at Taipei. The Project is currently under construction and will be completed in 2017.
The Ecologic Philosophy of the Project
In the heart of the urban networks of Xinyin District in full development, the AGORA GARDEN project presents a pioneer concept of sustainable residential eco-construction that aims at limiting the ecologic footprint of its inhabitants by researching the right symbiosis between the human being and the Nature.
On this site that is the last and only biggest parcel of land for residential use, the concept is to build a true fragment of vertical landscape with low energetic consumption. The building is thus eco-designed. It integrates not only the recycling of organic waste and used water but also all the renewable energies and other new state-of-the-art nanotechnologies (BIPV solar photovoltaic, rain water recycling, compost, etc.). The project targets thus the energetic performance so as to be officially approved by the Green Building Label, the norm for high environmental quality, delivered by the Home Affairs Ministry of Taipei.
Part of the concept of inhabited and cultivated vertical farm through its own inhabitants, this project of residential tower enables first to design by its avant-gardist architecture a new life style in accordance with the nature and the climate. Actually, the AGORA GARDEN tower superimposes vertically wide planted balconies of true suspended orchards, organic vegetable gardens, aromatic gardens and other medicinal gardens.
Such as a living organism, the tower becomes metabolic! It overpasses its energy-consuming passive role (absorbing all the natural resources and rejecting only waste) to produce its own organic food. The architectural concept is thus to eco-design an energy self-sufficient building, whose energy is electric, thermal and also alimentary.
Therefore, the project answers directly to 4 main ecologic objectives of the After Copenhagen: 1)The reduction of the climatic global warming;2)The protection of the nature and the biodiversity;3)The protection of the environment and the quality of life;4)The management of the natural resources and waste.
Finally, according to the Cradle to Cradle concept where nothing is lost, everything transforms itself; all the construction and furnishing materials will be selected through recycled and / or recyclable labels. By imitating the processes of natural ecosystems, it deals thus with reinventing in Taiwan the industrial and architectural processes in order to produce clean solutions and to create industrial cycle where everything is reused, either back to the ground as non-toxic organic nutrients, or back to the industry as technical nutrients able to be indefinitely recycled. Biotechnological prototype, the AGORA GARDEN project reveals thus the symbiosis of human actions and their positive impact on the nature.
The Morphologic Philosophy of the Project
Neither single tower, nor twin towers, the project arises towards the sky with two helicoidal towers gathering themselves around a central core. This architectural party offers a hyper-compacted core and a maximal flexibility of the housing storeys (with the possibility to unify two apartments units in one without any footbridge). It brings a reduction of view angles towards the urban landscape and a hyper-abundance of suspended gardens.
The AGORA GARDEN tower is, as its name indicates it, directly inspired of the structure in double helix of the DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid), source of life, dynamism and twinning. Every double helix is represented in the project by two housing units forming a full level.
Thus, from its base to the top, the 20 inhabited levels in double helix stretch themselves and twist themselves at 90 degrees. By metaphor, the obtained sinuosity corresponds to the universal musical symbol of harmonic revealing the notion of ultimate balance praised by the project.
This twist of 90 degrees answers to four major objectives
(1)The first objective is to be perfectly integrated in the North / South pyramidal profile of the Building Volume. Actually, the morphology of the project changes according to its orientation. Its East / West elevations draw a rhomboidal pyramid whereas the North-South ones represent a reverse pyramid.
(2)The second objective is to generate a maximum of cascades of suspended open-air gardens, not part of the F.A.R.(floor area ratio). Thus, the planted balcony surface area can easily exceed the limit of the required 10 percents. The global framework of 40 percents of building coverage ratio, i.e. 3 264 M2 is thus totally respected.
(3)The third objective is to offer to the inhabitants exceptional panoramic views on the skyline of Taipei by multiplying the transversal views, especially towards the very close Taipei 101 tower and the Central Business District in full emergence.
(4)The fourth objective is to generate from a flexible standardized level a progressive geometry with corbels which assures the intimacy and the confidentiality of each apartment by avoiding the indiscreet vision axes.
Inspired from the Nature, the AGORA GARDEN project is shaped with an organic fluid and dynamic geometry. From the simple and standardized element of the double helix of housing superimposed vertically and put in successive rotation of 4.5 degrees level by level, a multi-facial morphology appears all in convex and concave curves.
Actually, according to the point of view of the pedestrian from the surrounding streets, the AGORA GARDEN tower changes of faces and proposes new profiles. Besides this moving geometry wearing a planted dress with sensual style, the project represents really a built ecosystem that repatriates the fauna and the flora in the heart of the city and generates alone a new box of subtropical biodiversity. It is a new nest in the city!
The Main Components of the Project
The luxuriant forest and the glade
In order to ensure the confidentiality of the residents, the whole perimeter of the site is bordered by a mineral moat that animates the outside public space with organic urban furnitures. Inside the parcel, the walls of this moat transform themselves into planted surrounding walls. The main access of the site is located at the Song Yong Road which is less busy that the main avenue, Song Gao Road. The tower is coiled up in the centre of a heavy and luxuriant safe forest of mature trees that protects the intimacy of the inhabitants from the surrounding urban pollution. In the heart of the vegetable lung, the pedestrian square of exotic wood opens itself on a mineral and aquatic glade.
Such as the shock wave created by a water drop, the landscape design is made in circles arches and radiates from the epicentre of the tower. A circular light well, curved this time, makes the light, the abundant plants in cascades to the deepest basement. The car parks, the swimming pool and the fitness are thus naturally lightened and ventilated.
The lobbies in indoor-outdoor connectivity
The ground floor in double height sets through its great transparent facades a high connectivity between the interior community spaces and the exterior garden.
The central core, a vertical twisted garden surrounded by sky entry foyers
The central core has been designed to separate totally the vertical circulations into two housing units on the same level. This core is fixed (it does not pivot). But in order to ensure the rotation of the storeys floor by floor, it is surrounded by a (naturally lightened) horizontal circulation loop welcoming the entry foyer dedicated to each unit. This buffer loop enables thus to set the main entrance always in the axis of each apartment and this despite of the 4.5 degrees rotation storey by storey. An alternative has been studied to build sky entry foyers directly around the cylindrical central core offering thus planted entry foyers with spectacular front view on the city of Taipei.
By level, the central core gathers 2 staircases, 4 high speed elevators of 24 people (1800 kg), 1 car elevators (also useful to carry enormous art pieces, luxury antique vehicles, or even huge pianos, etc.), 2 sky garages in glass and also all the vertical shafts for the main flows. All these vertical flows are covered by a huge bearing exoskeleton in reinforced steel.
The apartments, a maximal spatial and technical flexibility
The apartments of 540 M2 on average superimpose themselves under the shape of two planted twists unified around a central core. Each unit presents a storey structurally made with Vierendeel beams system behind glass facades only on even floors. All levels are linked at both ends by two spiralling mega columns covered by green walls. Each apartment is completely free columns!
This structural concept inspired of the DNA chain enables a maximal flexibility in terms of interior layout. It ensures also an optimal visual permeability (indoor outdoor connectivity) towards the suspended gardens of the balconies in foreground and the urban panorama on the background.
(1)The spatial flexibility is divided in 4 main typologies of storeys of 2 or 4 units
1)Typology A : 2 units with curved living rooms around a central core;2)Typology B : 2 units with living rooms stretched in the length behind the Southern fa?ades;3)Typology C : 2 units with living rooms set in bow by the panoramic storey;4)Typology D : 4 units in duplex with living rooms benefiting from a double height.
In addition to these basic typologies, two huge clubhouses are set up on the roof floors so as to respect the setback required by the building volume. Therefore, from the same standardized double helix (1.250 M2 floor area), the rotation of the storey and its customizable interior laying-out makes every level be a unique floor for each resident!
(2)The technical flexibility is obtained by the integration of the double deck and double wall concepts
Spatially hyper-flexible, the constructive system proposed also a total flexibility to the level of technical distribution of the flows. Additional vertical flows are organized with "oblique shafts" along the glass fa?ade. The system of double deck is integrated at each level under the shape of a double floor and a suspended ceiling. The network of the flows (rain water, used water, hot water, electricity, under floor-heating, cool air, hot air, optic fibre, etc.) crossing the central core can thus irrigate without any difficulty on the horizontal way all the surface area of each storey. Moreover, the use of castellated beams will enable to take advantage of a maximal free height under ceiling. The interior partitioning of each apartment will be à la carte according to the wishes of each inhabitant. The double walls will compartmentalize the different rooms following the curved axes of the building by integrating also many useful storage spaces.
(3)The energetic efficiency is obtained by isolating fa?ades with high performance named inter-layer or double-layer:
The AGORA GARDEN tower is covered by linear crystalline fa?ades repeating themselves at each level. The identical facades in every apartment will be pre-manufactured in factory to accelerate their setting-up during the works. A multilayer glass (airspace + Polyvinyl Butyral) or double layer fa?ades with integrated blinds will be directly associated there in order to protect the interior spaces from the solar radiation in summer and to limit the calorific loss in winter.
The landscape balconies, green cascades of flowers, fruits, vegetables and aromates
The landscape concept is to build a cascade of suspended gardens which cover the entire building. The tower becomes then a true vertical inhabited park, in a box of nature in the heart of the city ! The selected essences will be preferably eatable in order to make each inhabitant gardener in its own vegetable consumption. Suspended orchards, organic vegetable gardens, aromatic and medicinal gardens will flourish the wide and deep jardinière along the global periphery of each apartment. Garden furniture, compost spaces from waste to organic fertilizers, fuel cells, rain water tanks for the irrigation of plants, and ecologic nests for birds will be directly integrated in the design of these jardinières. In order to protect the organic substrate tanks from the heating coming from the solar radiation, the planting beds will be covered by a layer of Bethel white granite on honeycomb. The white colour of the AGORA GARDEN tower will provide a new emblematic, pure and fresh identity.
(1)The tower generates through its morphology in rotation two types of very specific landscape balconies :
1)The balconies called ascending or positive:
From the level B1, we can access to both car elevators inside the central core and go very quickly to the sky garages located at the entrance of each apartment. The car park is designed in the existing perimeter of the current car park of the pre-existing Agora Garden hotel in order to limit the works cost of excavation and foundations.
Only the South-West wall has been corrected so as to set up a laying-out with double helix. Actually, in the continuation of the rotating tower, the car park is drawn according to a circular plan with an ascending interior helix around the core in the direction of the exit and a second descending helix in the direction of the entrance. The whole set forms a continuous banister that welcomes more than 230 cars and 500 scooters. From slab to slab, the minimal height is 3,10 meters which improves comfortably the atmosphere of the building of an immaculate white. It is important to notice that the structure of the tower weights through this car park in order to facilitate the descent of the loading of the whole building.
The Challenge of a Positively Ecologic Revolution!
In the architecture of the AGORA GARDEN project, the association of the living (Bios), the biotechnologies (renewable energies and nanotechnologies), and the NICT (New Technologies of Information and Communication), can meet the Chinese antique thought which always refused to separate the nature and the humanity that nourishes itself from it; the body from the spirit that did not exist without it. Avant-gardist on the theme of contemporary ecologic crisis, the Chinese thought prefers the relationships rather than the separated elements. The human being and its life framework depend from the fusion of the variables:
As humbly wrote the influent sinologist, specialist in old China Marcel Granet in the Chinese Thought in 1934: None opposes the human being from the nature; do not think of opposing them such as the free element from the determined element. The Chinese people only see in the Time and the Space a gathering of occasions and sites. These are interdependences, solidarities that constitute the order of the Universe. We do not think that the Man could form a reign in the Nature or that the spirit distinguishes itself from the material.
In the heart of Taipei, after having built the city on the landscape, after having then built the city on the city, it is now time for the landscape to rebuild itself on the city ! In this perspective of ecologic resilience, the AGORA GARDEN project must be considered as an abstraction of geography and a distortion of ecosystem. The AGORA GARDEN project is a Nature built from the living that fights for the re-naturalisation of Ecopolis of tomorrow! This tower reveals strongly and surely the challenge of reinventing a new lifestyle for residential tower, that is self-sufficient, sculpturally unprecedented. It is a project absolutely unique in the world and charismatic drawing with poetry in the Oriental sky, a delicate superposition of sky villas with wide suspended private gardens.
Last but not least, it is a unique ecologic landmark, new symbol of sustainability at the bottom of the prestigious 101 tower!
