俄版"諾亞方舟"酒店誕生 酷似蝸牛殼
It looks like a cross between Noah's Ark and something out of a 1970s science-fiction film. The futuristic Ark Hotel has been designed to withstand floods caused by rising sea levels.
The floating behemoth is a 'biosphere' conceived as a safe, self-contained haven in case of disaster. Boasting a green, self-sustaining environment for guests, the shell-shaped hotel would withstand tidal waves and other natural disasters.
在好萊塢羅蘭·艾默裏奇著名的電影《2012》中，我們看到了在電影人腦海中那氣宇軒昂的“中國製造”諾亞方舟，如今有建築師“設計”出在內部有完整生物圈、生態系統的超級奢華蛋形“諾亞方舟酒店”，這個酒店號稱可以抵禦任何自然災害的襲擊，比如洪水、地震，比如在電影2012中看到的海平面升高造成的悲劇，因爲設計圖中看到的酒店造型太過夢幻，有人把它聯想到諾亞方舟。
The design uses solar panels and a rainwater collection system to provide inhabitants with power and water. The greenhouse-like environment also provides for lush vegetation to help with air quality and provide food use of the see-through structure enough daylight is filtered through internal rooms to reduce the need for lighting. And to ensure quality of light, the frame is protected with a self-cleaning layer.
設計者稱,該諾亞方舟酒店應用了太陽能、以及雨水自動採集等新能源手段，在能源供應上完全實現“自己供能”狀態，無需外界的電力支持。有人擔心酒店因封閉化設置店內的空氣會因不能通風而渾濁不堪，其實設計者早已經預料到這個問題，他把酒店設計成一個“溫室大棚”，在棚內種植大量植物確保空氣質量清晰以及酒店內新鮮蔬菜果實的供應。在採光上，諾亞方舟酒店實現“全透明”化設計，這樣在白天陽光就可以直接射入棚內，確保了採光的質量。即使在陰天，設計師貼心設計了可以自動調節的圖層，確保光線讓顧客滿意。
The Ark has been designed by Russian firm Remistudio with the assistance of the International Union of Architects' program Architecture For Disaster Relief. Alexander Remizov, of Remistudio, said: 'For architecture there are two major concerns. 'The first is maintenance of security and precautions against extreme environmental conditions and climate changes. The second one is protection of natural environment from human activities.
有趣的是，這個諾亞方舟酒店的設計部分來自於俄羅斯建築師事務所Remistudio之手。其實是國際建築師聯合會提出一個名爲“災難救援建築”項目，結果Remistudio的未來設計最符合主題。Remistudio的“方舟酒店”提議一經提出，就受到一致好評。因爲可透過太陽能板和雨水收集系統，爲住客提供水電的“環保酒店”很有可能成爲未來酒店的雛形。
