未来塔是阿玛诺拉公园镇的一部分，这个社区是在2007年创建的，这得益于马哈拉施特拉邦2005年通过的鼓励在其城市附近发展住宅“城镇”的立法。在浦那，这些城镇帮助容纳被汽车制造业和科技行业吸引到城市的年轻专业人士，但是，随着印度各地的快速发展，浦那郊区的许多新建筑都是普通的、重复的住宅塔。在短短11年的时间里，阿玛诺拉公园镇已经发展到超过2.5万居民，因为他们把重点放在了一个多样化的、高质量的塔楼和低密度别墅的混合上。但是，以更高密度、更低个性的住房来加快扩张速度的压力一直存在.

Future Towers is a part of Amanora Park Town, a community created in 2007 thanks to legislation passed in 2005 by the state of Maharashtra to encourage the development of residential “townships” near its cities. In Pune, these townships help to house the young professionals attracted to the city by its auto-manufacturing and technology sectors but, as with much of the rapid development all over India, many of the new buildings on Pune’s outskirts are generic, repetitive residential towers. In just 11 years, Amanora Park Town has grown to over 25,000 residents by focusing on a diverse, high-quality mixture of towers alongside low-density villas. But the pressure to expand faster with more high-density, low-individuality housing was ever-present.

MVRDV为未来塔楼的设计旨在为这种模式提供一种替代方案，同时仍以通常较低的价格提供公寓(因为不同住宅开发项目之间对新居民的竞争十分激烈)。MVRDV对此的回应不是一群独立的建筑，而是一座带有峰谷的奇异山地建筑，其中1，068套公寓被统一在一栋建筑中。然而，“未来塔”的设计虽然表现力很强，但实际上是基于MVRDV对印度住宅的研究而做出的一系列有条不紊的决策。

MVRDV’s design for the Future Towers aimed to offer an alternative to this pattern, while still delivering apartments at the usual low price (since competition for new residents between different housing developments is fierce). Instead of a cluster of freestanding buildings, MVRDV’s response to the brief was a singular mountainous structure with peaks and valleys, under which 1,068 apartments are unified in one building. However, despite its expressive appearance, the design of Future Towers in fact stems from a series of methodical decisions based on MVRDV’s research into Indian housing.

与规范的一个关键偏差是让客户相信，整个开发将更加充满活力的混合不同的单元。这样，这栋大楼就能确保来自印度不断壮大的中产阶级的所有用户-包括年轻的移动专业人士-进入这个城市；年长、老牌的居民；以及大小家庭，所有这些家庭都在不同的收入水平上。从45平方米到450平方米不等的公寓被混合在一起，这是一种多样性，这是由于建筑的山地形状和它产生的移动平面图。

A critical deviation from the norm was to convince the client that the entire development would be more vibrant with a mixture of different units. This way, the building would ensure that users from the full spectrum of India’s exploding middle class all mingle—including young, mobile professionals who are new to the city; older, established residents; and families both large and small, all at a range of income levels. Apartments ranging from 45 square metres to 450 square metres are mixed together, a diversity enabled by the building’s mountainous shape and the shifting floor plans that it generates.

MVRDV的首席和联合创始人雅各布·范·里杰斯(Jacob Van Rijs)表示：“在亚洲，城市增长如此之快，统一的重复住宅大厦成为常态。”“在我们的设计中，我们正在努力提供更多的多样性，并将来自更多不同背景的人聚集在一起。”在最初的总体规划中，规划了16座独立的塔楼，所有这些塔都有或多或少相同类型的公寓。MVRDV小组对现代印度住房进行了深入研究，并提出了一种在一栋大楼内创建不同类型公寓组合的系统。该项目将吸引各种收入的居民，这将有利于阿马诺拉公园镇的多样性。由于客户愿意尝试一些新的东西，大众住房所需的效率得以实现，同时又不降低居民的舒适度。“

“In Asia cities are growing so fast, and uniform repetitive residential towers are the norm”, says Jacob van Rijs, principal and co-founder of MVRDV. “With our design, we are making an effort to offer more variety and bring people from more different backgrounds together. In the original master plan, 16 separate towers were planned, all of which would have more or less the same type of apartments. The MVRDV team thoroughly researched modern Indian housing and came up with a system to create a mix of different types of apartment inside one building. This project will attract residents with a variety of incomes, something that will benefit the diversity of Amanora Park Town. Thanks to the client’s willingness to try something new, the efficiency needed for mass housing has been achieved without cutting back on residents’ comfort.”

由于印度的建筑成本较低，而且电梯相对昂贵，通常用于住宅设计的经济状况可以倒置；因此，在这种情况下，减少电梯芯和走廊的数量在经济上比多座塔更可取，每座塔都有自己的核心和较少的走廊。由于这一计算，MVRDV的设计特点是9个外壳机翼，从17层到30层，布置在仅仅4个循环核心周围。

Because construction costs are low in India, and elevators comparatively expensive, the economics usually applied to residential design could be inverted; thus a reduced number of lift cores combined with corridors were in this case more economically desirable than having many towers, each with its own core and fewer corridors. As a result of this calculation, MVRDV’s design features 9 housing wings ranging from 17 to 30 storeys arranged around just 4 circulation cores.

平板形成六边形网格，它允许从公寓看到广泛的视图，并且在地面上留下大的开放公共庭院。所需的“峰”允许优化日光条件，所产生的倾斜屋顶允许私人和公用的许多外部露台。住宅板的主立面上的凹进式阳台本身暗示了后面的房子的多样性，有普通大小、双高、双宽甚至一些L形阳台的混合物。由阳台产生的强烈的图形外观被大的、色彩鲜艳的开口所强调，这些开口被称为挖斗，其刺穿建筑物的FA1ADE以与中央走廊连接，在该过程中在所有公共空间中提供公共会议空间和交叉通风。这些空间源于需要提供避难空间，以满足长走廊的消防规范要求-帮助向建筑的不同部分提供“街区身份”，每个勺子都指定了不同的活动（如瑜伽或迷你高尔夫）或不同类型的居民（如青少年或幼儿）。

The slabs form a hexagonal grid, which allows for wide views from the apartments and leaves large open public courtyards at ground level. The ‘peaks’ allow for optimized daylight conditions and the resulting inclined roofs allow for a number of exterior terraces, both private and communal. Recessed balconies on the main facades of the residential slabs themselves hint at the diversity of the homes behind, with a mixture of normal size, double-height, double-width and even some L-shaped balconies. The strong graphical appearance created by the balconies is accentuated by large, brightly coloured openings known as “scoops” that puncture the building’s façade to connect with the central corridor, providing public meeting spaces and cross ventilation in all communal spaces in the process. These spaces—which originated in the need to provide refuge spaces to meet the fire code requirements for long corridors—help to give a sense of “neighbourhood identity” to different parts of the building, with each scoop designated for a different activity (such as yoga or mini golf) or for a different type of resident (such as teens or toddlers).

下面的庭院由四层高的三角门连接起来，形成了一条500米长的步行路，并具有不同的用途，其中一些被指定用于玩耍，另一些则用于运动、花园空间等。这一令人印象深刻的便利设施清单之所以成为可能，是因为开发规模如此之大：在一个项目中有这么多公寓，一个50米长的膝池等豪华设施只会增加总成本的一小部分。

The courtyards below are linked by four-storey-high triangular gates, creating a 500-metre-long walk, and also feature different uses, with some designated for play, and others for sport, garden spaces, and more.  This impressive list of amenities was made possible by the scale of the development: With so many apartments in one project, luxury features such as a 50-metre lap pool only add a fraction to the overall cost.

虽然MVRDV的大部分方法都集中在重新思考印度住房，但设计也认识到哪些特征应该继承到典型的住宅开发项目中。一个简单而有效的自然通风系统，既能使公寓降温，又能帮助从厨房抽气，帮助居民选择个人空调单元。平面图还包含了瓦斯图·沙斯特拉(Vastu Shastra)的原则，这是一种传统的建筑体系(通常被描述为印度对风水的回应)，长期以来一直被认为是印度的新发展。

While much of MVRDV’s approach focused on rethinking Indian housing, the design also recognises which features should carry over from typical housing developments. A simple yet effective natural ventilation system, which both cools the apartments and can help extract air from kitchens, helps to make personal air conditioning units optional for residents. The floor plans also incorporate the principles of Vastu Shastra, the traditional system of architecture (often described as India’s answer to Feng Shui) that has long been expected of new developments in India.

虽然“上下文相关的”、“多样的”和“以社区为重点”可能不是在想象一座房子超过5,000人的建筑物时想到的第一个术语，mvrv的未来塔是试图颠覆这些看法。它是一个理解印度住房需求和印度文化期望的建筑，并利用一个全新的乡镇的背景来重新想象它们如何能够以一种更好的方式结合在广大的居民和城市中。

Though “context-sensitive”, “diverse”, and “community-focused” may not be the first terms that come to mind when imagining a building that houses over 5,000 people, MVRDV’s Future Towers is an attempt to upend those perceptions. It is a building that understands the demands of Indian housing and the expectations of Indian culture, and uses the context of a brand new township to reimagine how they can be combined in a way that is better for both residents and cities at large.
