Dutch firm UNStudio has unveiled images of its first UK project: a 30-storey residential tower on London's City Road.
来自荷兰的事务所UNStudio已经推出了他们在英国的第一个项目：一座位于伦敦城市道路上的30层高的住宅楼。

Named Canaletto, the tower is designed with a curving facade of metal and glass that breaks the volume into a series of three-to-five-storey clusters. Each of these clusters are imagined as individual "neighbourhoods in the sky", with balcony terraces that afford views of the City of London to the south and the basin waterways to the north.
住宅塔楼被命名为卡纳莱托，玻璃和弯曲的金属装饰了立面，打破了原有的体量，形成了一系列3~5层高的群组。这些群组都有露天阳台，南望可见伦敦城万象，北望可见盆地美景，因此被想象成空中的社区。

"I often find it difficult that if you look at the history of residential towers, they're so neutral and monolithic in their appearance," UNStudio founder Ben van Berkel told Dezeen, "but that when you walk away from [this] tower you can point to your own apartment and you can say 'well I'm living in the third cluster'. You can play with that identity."
“如果你回顾住宅塔楼的历史，你会发现它们是如此中性和单一，”UNStudio创始人本·范·伯克尔说道，“但是当你走出这座塔楼，你可以指着你的公寓说‘看，我住在第三个群组。’这就是你的辨别方式。”

Van Berkel also compares the articulation of the facade to the expression of detailing in furniture design. "The elegance is found in a texturing of the facade, giving it more of an unusual scaling," he said. "Maybe it's related to my fascination for furniture design and the idea of how one can extend an interior to its facade."
范·伯克尔把立面细部的衔接比作家具设计中细节的表现。“优雅的表面纹理能够赋予一个体量非同寻常的意义，”他说道，“也许这就是我迷恋家具设计的原因，也是我考虑怎么把‘内部延伸到外部’的想法。”

The building will provide 190 apartments, in addition to a health club, a swimming pool, a private cinema, a restaurant and a members' club for residents. It is set to complete in 2015, when the first apartments will go on sale.

这座建筑包含190间公寓，1个健身俱乐部，1个游泳池，1个私人影院，1个餐馆和1个为居民服务的会员俱乐部。项目预计2015年完工，届时第一间公寓也会被出售。

Architecture firms Foster + Partners and SOM are also working on proposals for residential towers in the area. The developers claim that this is a reaction to the growth of digital businesses in the area: "The emergence of Old Street as a centre for technology and creative industries is driving demand for residential properties with architectural excellence in the surrounding area," said Aref Lahham, founding partner of development group Orion Capital Managers.

福斯特事务所和SOM事务所也提议着手在该地区建住宅塔楼。开发商声称这是对数字商务在该地区增长的反应：“以‘老街’为中心的科技和创意产业的出现，推动了周边地区对优秀建筑的需求。”Aref Lahham如是说。

哎，这篇文章是翻得我最吐血的，它说的什么我都懂，但是又很难用汉语完整地表达出来……还有，这个设计的亮点主要在于立面，它区别于其他单调的塔楼住宅，通过立面群组来提高辨识度，原文基本都在说这事儿，但是很罗嗦

这是我翻的第三篇，翻完说说我的心得
1、关于人名和事务所的翻译，最好能查一下，如果国内有了统一翻译，就不要用英语了
2、翻的文章自己要先读一遍，确定它有价值去翻译，毕竟翻一篇文章加上发帖，大概要2小时左右，我觉得我上面这个太浪费时间了，明明很简单就能说明白的，原文写了那么多，太罗嗦了
3、还是要选择自己喜欢的去翻，我本身对特别大型的东西不感兴趣，翻的也都是住宅之类的……前几天我也翻了几篇，但是翻到一半就放弃了，因为我实在不喜欢它o(╯□╰)o
4、这个是给梁哥的建议@深圳老梁建议认领翻译，这样既可以避免重复劳动（我记得之前有人跟我翻重复了），又可以给认领的人紧促感，比如http://bbs.hupu.com/fyt-soccer
