Modernism has a famous motto: a house is a machine for living in. However, as we increasingly leave the machine age behind, we are left with a question: what message should architecture convey? What is the house of today?

Like other fast developing suburbs in North America, Mississauga is seeking a new identity. This is an opportunity to respond to the needs of an expanding city, to create a residential landmark that moves beyond simple efficiency to provide an emotional connection for the people who live there.

In place of the simple, functional logic of modernism, our design expresses the complex and multiple needs of contemporary society. Despite its landmark status, the emphasis is not solely on height.

The entire building rotates at different degrees on different levels in correspondence with the surrounding scenery, creating a changing, uncertain profile. A continuous balcony surrounds each floor, eliminating the vertical barriers that are traditionally used in high-rise architecture and providing 360? views to reawaken city dwellers' appreciation of nature, to get them in touch with the sunlight and the wind.

This building is more than just a functional machine: located at the junction of two main streets, it is both a landmark and a gateway that signifies entrance to the city. The form is sculptural, beautiful, and redolent of the human body. The Absolute Tower has since been nicknamed Marilyn Monroe by the local people.

現(xiàn)代主義有一句有名的宣言：建筑是居住的機器。但是我們必須發(fā)問，在機器及其所代表的社會基礎發(fā)生了如此劇變的今天，我們應該怎樣理解建筑？如果建筑正在遠離工業(yè)，那么它更應該表達什么內(nèi)容？

與北美其它迅速發(fā)展的近郊城市一樣，加拿大多倫多地區(qū)的密西沙加市也一直在努力尋找著自己在新時代的新身份。這是一個回應日益膨脹的城市需求的機會，這是一個創(chuàng)造地標性住宅的機會，超越單純、追求高效的層面，為居住在該地的人們提供情感連接。

有別于現(xiàn)代主義的純功能邏輯，設計表達出當代社會的需求和生活的多樣化。盡管建筑具有里程碑的意義，設計強調的卻不僅僅是它的高度。

與四周的景色相呼應，整棟建筑旋轉上升，在不同的高度、不同的角度皆呈現(xiàn)出多變的輪廓。每一層的連續(xù)陽臺避免了傳統(tǒng)建筑中的垂直柵欄的使用，提供了一個360o全景觀景平臺，再次喚醒城市居民對大自然的追求，讓他們沐浴在陽光與微風之中。

本案位于密西沙加市兩條主要街道的交匯處。它不僅是一部功能機，而且是城市入口的地標和大門。它的外形優(yōu)美而具有雕塑感，令人想起美妙的人體，又被當?shù)孛癖娪H切地稱為“瑪麗蓮·夢露”大廈。

FEATURE 特點分析

Shape

The control of shape and light is achieved by the same ease rhythm of texture and lines and rotation and gradient between two colors. Lines of the architecture highlight the physical structure and show a dynamic shape. The high light is the crowning touch to break the symmetrical structure, showing a texture feeling on the architecture.

造型

該項目把握了肌理、線條舒張緩動的同律性，巧妙地利用雙色之間的旋轉漸變，完成了對造型的塑造和光線的控制，對建筑輪廓的勾線凸顯了形體結構，使其造型有動感，其高光處的運用也是點睛之筆，打破了對稱的結構，并進一步體現(xiàn)了建筑的質感。
