News: while Foster + Partners think simply increasing capacity is the way to improve New York’s Grand Central Terminal, architecture firm SOM has proposed adding a floating observation deck that slides up and down the sides of two new skyscrapers.
简讯：当Foster + Partners认为简单地增加容量可以改善纽约中央火车站品质的时候（译者注：详情可查阅 Foster + Partners方案） ，建筑设计公司SOM提出这样一个计划：增加一个可以浮动的观景台，观景台在两栋新摩天楼之间的两侧上下滑动。
The moving deck is one of several public realm strategies that the firm is promoting for the 100-year-old station, following an invitation from the Municipal Art Society of New York to re-think the spaces in and around the building. 为了促进这个有100年历史的火车站的革新，SOM提出了若干个公共领域策略，可移动的观景台仅是其中之一。SOM之前受到了纽约市政艺术协会的邀请，重新思考火车站内外的空间环境。
SOM suggests that the hovering deck would improve the quality of the public space around the building by offering an “iconic landmark” with a 360-degree panorama of the city skyline.
SOM暗示这个空中悬停的观景台可以改善火车站周围公共空间的品质，因为观景台具备360度的城市天际线的全景视野，提供了一个“形象的地标”。
“Throughout the history of New York City, urban growth has been matched by grand civic gestures,” said SOM partner Roger Duffy.
“纵观纽约整个历史，城市发展是与大公民姿态相匹配的。”SOM合伙人Roger Duffy说。
The doughnut-shaped structure would be attached to the sides of two new office towers, which would fit in with the current rezoning proposals of the New York City planning department, designating it as a commercial area.
这个环形结构物将会附加到两栋新办公楼之间的两侧。办公楼的建设将会符合纽约城市规划部门当前的再分区规划建议提案，这里被指定为商业用地。
The plans also include new pedestrian routes to help ease congestion, as well as a series of public spaces that are privately owned and managed.
SOM设计方案还包括缓解交通拥堵的新人行道，以及一系列的由私人拥有和管理的公共空间。
SOM and Foster + Partners both presented their proposals last week at the third annual MAS Summit for New York City, alongside American firm WXY Architecture.
SOM和Foster + Partners在上周的第三届纽约市MAS峰会一起提交了他们的方案，同时还有美国设计公司WXY Architecture。
