北京时间10月14日消息，墨西哥建筑师设计了一座令人不可思议的65层“摩地大楼”，深入地下300米。这座倒置的金字塔形大楼将建在墨西哥城中部，在 设计上绕过了墨西哥城对新建筑的高度限制。“摩地大楼”的住宅、商店和一家博物馆占据10层，办公室占据35层。

65层的“摩地大楼”，深入墨西哥城地下300米

摩地大楼是对广场的一种创造性使用，允许其继续举行音乐会和阅兵式等活动

这座复杂的建筑旨在绕过墨西哥城的城市规划法律规定。根据法律规定，墨西哥城的新建筑不可超过8层

摩地大楼将建在墨西哥城的主广场，顶部竖起一面巨大的墨西哥国旗

摩地大楼将采用玻璃结构，确保所有区域照射到自然光

设计师表示摩地大楼的公共活动区将成为一个受欢迎的目的地，让人们告别城市的喧嚣

摩地大楼内将建造博物馆和文化中心，向人们讲述墨西哥及其金字塔的历史

这种与众不同的建筑的一大优势在于为墨西哥城市中心提供了新空间。市中心到处是不能破坏的历史性建筑

这座地下大楼将建在墨西哥城的一个大广场。一个玻璃地板将覆盖广场上一个240米×240米的巨洞，用于过滤地上的自然光。玻璃地板上将竖起一 面墨西哥国旗。建筑事务所BNKR Arquitectura的伊斯特班-苏亚雷斯表示，这座建筑将建造一家文化中心。他说：“这座城市需要建造新的基础设施、办公楼、零售店和住宅楼，但可 用的土地无法满足需求。联邦和当地法律均禁止破坏历史性建筑，对新建筑的最大高度限定在8层。这座城市的市中心急需改造，但我们没有可用的土地，唯一的方式就是转入地下。”

摩地大楼的内部看上去非常自然，能够受到人们的欢迎

摩地大楼将建在墨西哥首都心脏地带，覆盖摩地楼的玻璃板面积占地240米×240米

摩地大楼内的大部分空间将用于办公使用

摩地大楼落后之后势必成为墨西哥城一个重要的零售目的地

摩地大楼的深度将位居所有地下建筑之首

这座建筑将成为一个工程学奇迹

当前的广场。为了建造摩地大楼，广场将从根本上进行改造

苏亚雷斯指出：“摩地大楼并不会改变墨西哥广场的原有面貌，周围的现有建筑布局将保持原样。它是一座倒置的中空金字塔，允许所有居住空间享受自然 照明和通风。这座广场每年都举行大量活动，例如音乐会、露天展览以及阅兵式。在摩地大楼落后成，所有这些活动都可像往常一样举行。”

金字塔在墨西哥的建筑史上扮演了重要角色，这个国家的古代文明经常建造巨大的金字塔。当阿兹特克族第一次来到墨西哥谷时，他们便在湖边建造了金 字塔。随着阿兹特克帝国的不断扩张，他们开始建造新的体积更大的金字塔，但他们并不是选择新的建造地点，而是在原有金字塔基础上建造或者选择建在周围。

传统的金字塔由不同的层构成，代表不同的历史时期。西班牙人来到美洲后征服了阿兹特克，在金字塔上建起基督教堂。他们最后将这里建成一座殖民城 市。进入20世纪，很多殖民建筑已经毁坏，现代建筑在现有历史性地基之上拔地而起。苏亚雷斯指出：“摩地楼向下挖了很多层，揭示出我们的根。”

Introducing... the earth-scraper: Architects design 65-storey building which plunges 300 metres below ground

Architects have designed an incredible 65-storey 'earth-scraper' which plunges 300 metres below ground.

The stunning upside down pyramid in the middle of Mexico City is designed to get around height limits on new buildings in the capital.

The subterranean building will have 10 storeys each for homes, shops and a museum, as well as 35 storeys for offices.

Deep: The 65-storey 'earth-scraper' is set to plunge 300m into the ground beneath Mexico City

Epic scale: The enormous complex is intended to get round the city's planning laws, which state that buildings can be no more than eight storeys high

Landmark: The earth-scraper would be located in the city's main square, and topped with an enormous Mexican flag

A glass floor covers the massive 240m x 240m hole in the city's main square to filter in natural light from the world above.

The design has been crowned with a Mexican flag.

Esteban Suarez, from architecture firm BNKR Arquitectura, said the building would also house a new cultural centre.

Scary: The core is all made of glass to ensure that all parts of the building receive natural sunlight from the world outside

Relaxing: Designers expect the public areas of the building to become a popular destination for those wishing to escape the bustle of the city

Heritage: The earth-scraper is expected to contain a museum and cultural centre which will explore the history of Mexico and its pyramids

He said: 'New infrastructure, office, retail and living space are required in the city but no empty plots are available.

'Federal and local laws prohibit demolishing historic buildings and even if this was so, height regulations limit new structures to eight storeys.

'The city's historic centre is in desperate need of a makeover but we have nowhere to put it, this means the only way to go is down.'

He added: 'The Earthscraper preserves the iconic presence of the city square and the existing hierarchy of the buildings that surround it.

'It is an inverted pyramid with a central void to allow all habitable spaces to enjoy natural lighting and ventilation.

'It will also allow the numerous activities that take place on the city square year round such as concerts, open-air exhibitions and military parades to go ahead.'

Unobtrusive: One advantage of the unusual structure is that it would create space in the centre of Mexico City, which is full of historic buildings which cannot be demolished

Green: The interior of the building is supposed to look natural and welcoming

Efficient: The creative use of space would allow the plaza to be used for events such as concerts and military parades

Massive: The space covering the earth-scraper will take up 240 square metres in the heart of Mexico's capital

Pyramids play a large part in the architectural history of Mexico, as the country's anicent civilisations have often build huge pyramid structures.

When the Aztecs first came into the Valley of Mexico they built their pyramids on the lake they found there.

As the Aztec Empire grew in size and power they conceived a new and bigger pyramid, but instead of looking for a new site they just built it on and around the existing one.

The traditional pyramids are therefore composed of different layers of historical periods.

Modern: Much of the building is expected to be devoted to office space

Shopping: The earth-scraper would almost certainly become one of the city's top retail destinations as soon as it opened

Connected: This picture shows the proposed metro station which would pass through the earth-scraper just below ground level

When the Spanish arrived in America and ultimately conquered the Aztecs, they erected Christian churches on top of the pyramids.

Eventually their whole colonial city was built over the Aztec one. In the 20th century, many colonial buildings were demolished and modern structures raised on the existing historic foundations.

Esteban added: 'The Earthscraper digs down through the layers of cities to uncover our roots.'

Novelty: No other public building extends so far beneath the ground

Technical: The building would be an extraordinary feat of engineering

Today: The plaza, shown as it looks currently, would be transformed by the radical plan
