Architects have designed an incredible 65-storey 'earth-scraper' which plunges¹ 300 metres below ground. The stunning² upside down pyramid in the middle of Mexico City is designed to get around height limits on new buildings in the capital.

墨西哥建筑师日前设计了一座深入地下达300米的65层“摩地大楼”，令人叹为观止。这座“倒金字塔”位于墨西哥城的市中心，如此设计是为了规避墨西哥城新建筑限高的规定。

The subterranean³ building will have 10 storeys each for homes, shops and a museum, as well as 35 storeys for offices. The Earth-scraper preserves the iconic presence of the city square and the existing hierarchy⁴ of the buildings that surround it. It is an inverted⁵ pyramid with a central void to allow all habitable spaces to enjoy natural lighting⁶ and ventilation.

“摩地大楼”中住宅、商场以及博物馆各占10层，另外35层用作办公楼。“摩地大楼”既保存了城市广场这个地标，又没有破坏广场附近的现有建筑层次。大楼设计为倒金字塔型，采用中空结构，所有居住空间都可享受自然照明和通风。
