摘要
这座300m高的建筑位于法兰克福市中心,靠近火车总站;这项多用途城市开发工程的设计,充分利用了其有利的地理位置和优越的交通条件。这座塔形建筑像一个钟楼一般拔地而起,毗邻着底层的火车站建筑群,二者和谐统一成一个整体。该建筑底部由一个底座构成,其规模与周围建筑相匹配,包括拱形的入口和走廊,依照火车站的风格而建。在基座之上升起建筑的主体,其具有雕塑感的轮廓线和精心的细部设计,形象地反映了内部的不同功能。此“塔楼”设有安装天线的顶部结构作为收头。这座钢结构高层建筑由豪华宾馆和许多办公楼层组合而成,而较低楼层部分的购物拱廊则与所在地区的现有基础设施相结合.
This 300m high tower is located in Frankfurt's city center, close to the main station; the location and its excellent transport links have been exploited to the full in design of this multi purpose city development project. The tower-like construction rises like a‘campanile', right next to the older, low-rise station complex, combining with the latter to form a single ensemble. The tower is composed of a base zone, scaled to match the surrounding development, and encloses arcade-like entrances and passageway, in the style of the railway station. Above this base rises the shaft of the tower, its sculptured contours and detailing visually externally the various internal functions. The campanile is crowned by a shaped roof area with antennas. The steel-framed tower is used as a luxury hotel and offices. The shopping arcade in the lower section is linked with infrastructure already present in the district.
