Architects have made a splash with a bold design for new towers in Mumbai featuring swimming pools enclosed in glass instead of balconies. Known as Aquaria Grande, the 37-storey skyscrapers were the result of a collaboration between Hong Kong-based architect James Law and Indian real estate company Wadhwa Group.
近日孟買一幢37層摩天大樓的大膽設計引發(fā)了世界的關注,該大樓由香港著名設計師羅發(fā)禮和印度地產公司 Wadhwa Group 集團聯(lián)合開發(fā),整棟大樓將會用露天玻璃游泳池取代露天陽臺。

The complex would have 200 apartments, three levels of car parking, a gym and sauna.
據悉該大型豪華摩天大樓將有200個公寓住宅,一個三層的停車場,健身房,桑拿等設施應有盡有。

But not everybody feels inspired by the ambitious vision, with technology blog Gizmodo describing it as an 'architectural nightmare'.Writer Jesus Diaz claims on the site that the design is a 'deadly accident waiting to happen'.He adds: 'No matter what you want to call this, I would call it crazy.'Another blogger for the mymodernmet site, however, appeared to find the idea of swimming pool balconies more appealing.
不過并不是所有人都喜歡這樣設計,技術博客Gizmodo就將此設計稱為建筑噩夢。其中一名博主 Jesus Diaz 直言該設計非常瘋狂,將來肯定會有可怕的事故發(fā)生。而另一位來自 mymodernmet 網站的專欄博主則稱泳池陽臺相當有吸引力。

Contributor Pinar said the design represented an 'unbelievable skyscraping residential complex'.She said the pools were among its 'most outstanding and eye-popping features.'
出資人Pinar 稱該設計是一項令人難以置信的復合型摩天住宅大樓設計,而置身于泳池陽臺里可以一邊舒心的泡澡一邊享受視覺盛宴。
