丹麦建筑工作室squareone分享了世界上第一个基于四向电梯系统的多层城市愿景。
“空中城市”由多个相互连接的塔楼组成，这些塔楼通过一个名为MULTI的电梯系统在不同的楼层相连。MULTI于2014年首次推出。
danish architecture studio squareone shares the world’s first vision of a multi-storied city based on a four-way elevator system. ‘hanging cities’ consists of multiple, interconnected towers which are linked at various levels by a transport loop known as MULTI, which was first introduced in 2014.
MULTI作为全球首个可水平移动电梯系统，是一种无电缆的Willy Wonka风格，让人联想起1971年改编的罗尔德·达尔经典电影中的浮动玻璃电梯。磁悬浮电梯，多个舱室可以上下左右移动，让人们在目的地之间舒适快速地移动。
tipped as the world’s first willy wonka lift, MULTI is reminiscent of the floating glass elevator in the 1971 film adaptation of the roald dahl classic. based on magnetic levitation technology multiple cabins can move up, down and sideways allowing people to move comfortable and quickly between their destinations.
“空中城市”遵循城市致密化的必然趋势，向唯一可用的方向发展 - 向上。它本质上“改造”了更高层建筑之间的连接，实现了快速的水平流通，但squareone工作室并不只是创造了一条新的捷径，而是希望这些连接为公共空间提供新的机会。
‘hanging cities’ follows the inevitable trend of urban densification to the only available direction – upwards. it essentially ‘hacks’ the connection between buildings at a higher level, enabling rapid horizontal circulation, but instead of just creating a new shortcut, squareone envisions these connections offering new opportunities for public space.
“我们正在设计一个三维巨型网格，将塔楼和多层水平区域结合在一起，形成一个24小时的城市中心，用于生活，工作和娱乐，”squareone的合伙人兼设计总监kostas poulopoulos解释道。
为实现这一目标，我们赌注创造一个巨大的第二个城市层面，它将把整个社会和公共功能提升到空中，这是有限的塔楼面积永远无法做到的。”
‘we are proposing a three-dimensional mega-grid that combines towers and multi-story horizontal sector into a 24h hour urban hub for live, work and play,’ explains kostas poulopoulos, partner and design director at squareone. ‘to achieve this, we bet on the creation of a second urban level so massive, it will elevate entire social and public functions ‘up in the air’, in a way that a limited tower floor area would never be able to.‘
“这些连接提供的远不止是天桥。它们是多层次，商场大小的城市领域。本质上，这是一个关于如何最大限度地发挥建造高楼的潜力的想法。目前，我们建造高层建筑的方式在垂直系统、速度和容量方面限制了流通。
‘the connections offer much more than skybridges. they are multi-level, mall-sized urban realms. basically, it is an idea of how one could maximize the potential of building high. right now, the way that we build tall buildings limits circulation in terms of vertical transportation, speed, and capacity.’
squareone认为，引入这样的新城市区域将对城市基础设施产生积极影响，包括社会和经济方面。连接各种中间楼层将通过创建一个社区中心来提升原本不受欢迎的可租用空间的价值，使该区域的活力和繁忙程度分别提高一倍。
squareone believes the introduction of a new urban sector such as this would have positive effects on city infrastructure, both socially and economically. connecting various mid-tower floors would add value to otherwise undesirable rentable spaces by creating a social hub that would make the area twice as interesting and twice as busy.

在高楼林立、数量众多的商业区，地面层以上的交通网络将使底层相对保持原生态，不受耕种和其他休闲体验的影响。 squareone还指出，在亚洲和非洲等快速城市化的地区，高层垂直体量的增加可以为一般温暖和干旱的气候提供阴凉。
in business districts where high-rise towers are common and aplenty, a transport network that functions above ground level would leave the ground floor relatively untouched for cultivation and other leisure experiences. squareone also notes that in areas of rapid urbanization such as asia and africa, the addition of high-rise vertical volumes could offer shade from generally warm and arid climates.
poulopoulos在谈到当今城市发展中固有的问题时说:“如今的城市在提供高密度的同时，又要管理好良好的生活水平，这是一个挑战。”，面临着很多挑战:住房稀缺且昂贵。
新住房的开发速度赶不上我们城市的发展速度。运输系统逐渐增长。在很多情况下，增长是在没有监管的情况下发生的，对环境和生活质量产生影响。市场控制着城市的发展，这并不总是为了城市和他们的公民的利益。
‘cities today are challenged at a level of offering density while managing good living standards,’ poulopoulos says of the problems inherent in city development today. ‘there are a lot of challenges: housing is scarce and expensive. development of new housing is not at the rate our cities grow. transport times are growing. and in many cases, growth is happening without regulatory lines, without care for the environment and with little discussion for quality of life. markets control urban growth, and this is not always for the benefit of the cities and their citizens.’
“我们相信，运输系统是关键所在，通过multi，我们找到了一条快速前进之路 - 不是20年后的技术，而是当今的技术。我认为，迟早会有一个运输舱室将在街道，地铁，电梯井道上运行，或多或少地自由进出建筑。multi是迈向这个方向的第一步。
‘we believe that transportation is key here, and with multi we found an instant way forward – not a technology 20 years from now, but a technology of today. I think that sooner or later, a ubiquitous transportation cabin will run the streets, the tube, the elevator shafts and move more or less freely in and out of buildings. multi is the first step to this direction.‘
squareone工作室与德国电梯专家蒂森克虏伯合作，目前正在开发空中城市这一概念，并展望未来。
together with german elevator specialist thyssenkrupp, squareone is currently developing the hanging cities concept and looking into future opportunities to test this vision 1:1.
