马尔代夫摩天大楼
时间：2011-07-19 来源：都市世界 作者：
马尔代夫平均高度高于海平面1.5米，是地球上地势最低的国家，这个国家距海平面最高的地方也只有2.3米。
随着每年海平面不断的上升，到2100年海平面将上升56厘米。如果把自然灾害考虑在内，这样的速度无疑将会更快。2004年的海啸影响到了很多马尔代夫的居民岛，在那次海啸中，只有9座岛屿幸免于难。57座岛屿受到了严重的破坏，14个岛屿的居民不得不转移，而6座岛屿完全被毁灭。
除了对马尔代夫岛屿的破坏，洪水也给让封闭的马尔代夫人引以为傲的马尔代夫文化敲响了警钟，与此同时，它也完全丧失了她的子民的自我意识和主权。
因此人们开始计划在印度、斯里兰卡和澳大利亚购买土地，来维系自己的国家，这也使马尔代夫人民更加觉得，在陌生的土地上，自己就是陌生人。诚然，在这个人国家水域上建造一座漂浮的垂直建筑，来安置40万的居民也并非只是天方夜谭。这样一来，马尔代夫的遗产文化和回忆虽然会有所改变，但却得以维系。更何况，这个国家还可以新的形式来继续从事它们著名的旅游业。
漂浮的马尔代夫国家可以看作是由一系列的岛屿组成，但想要利用浮力建造一定高度的建筑，可为工程力学的奇迹。每个摩天大楼到直插云霄，高于海平面1000米，而地基也伸入海平面1000米以下，使居住面积达到马来西亚国家石油工资双塔建筑容纳人数的56倍，同时还要保持首都城市马累的密度。随着人口的增长，可以为这座建筑增加更多的模块，增加建筑的高度，扩大建筑网络，就像土地开垦那样，只不过这是漂浮着的。
With an average ground level of 1.5 m from the sea level, Maldives is the lowest county on the planet, with its highest point topping off at only 2.3 m above sea level.
The country is in a dire situation as sea levels are set to rise to 59 cm above the sea level in the year 2100. This rate would probably be accelerated if natural disasters are to be accounted for. The 2004 tsunami affected many of Maldives’ inhabited islands, where only 9 islands managed to escape flooding. 57 islands faced serious damage to its infrastructure, 14 needed to be completely evacuated and 6 were decimated.
Physical destruction aside, the flooding of Maldives would also signal the obliteration of the proud Maldivian culture, as well as a complete loss of her people’s sense of self and sovereignty.
While plans have been made to buy land in India, Sri Lanka and Australia to keep the country going, this essentially makes the people of Maldives strangers in strange lands. It is perhaps conceivable that this nation of 400,000 people can live in vertical structures floating in its own waters. That way, the legacy and memory of the Maldives can live on, albeit in a vastly different iteration. At the same time, the republic in this new form can continue to be sustained by its famed tourism industry.
The Floating States of Maldives can be recognized still as a series of islands, but are essentially engineering marvels of buoyancy and height. The network of towers soar to a maximum of 1000m above sea level and their keels dive 1000, below, accommodating floor areas of up to 56 times that of the combined Petronas Twin Towers, while maintaining the density of its capital city, Male. As the population increases, more modules can be added to the structure, increasing the towers’ heights and expanding the network, like land reclamation, only floating.
