The American architecture studio led by Pritzker Prize-winner Thom Mayne has unveiled its design for a 381-metre-tall mirrored hotel tower in Vals, Switzerland. 美国建筑工作室的主持建筑师，普利策奖得主Thom Mayne公布了位于瑞士瓦尔斯381米高的镜像酒店大楼的设计方案。 Morphosis建筑事务所公布了纤长的,纯玻璃的摩天大楼,据说可以映射出的瑞阿尔卑斯山周围的风景。
Morphosis Architects has released images of a slim, glassy skyscraper that it says will mirror the surrounding landscape of the Swiss Alps. "As much as possible, the hotel is a minimalist act that re-iterates the site and offers to the viewer a mirrored, refracted perspective of the landscape," said Mayne. “最可能的是,酒店是一个极简主义者的产物，重新回应了场地并且提供了一番被反射的风景,折射出了景观的前景“Mayne说。
The 53,000-square-metre building will include 107 guest rooms and suites, as well as spas, a ballroom and a library, restaurants, a cafe, bar, sky bar and a gallery. It will also have a swimming pool and fitness centre. 这个53000平方米的建筑将包括107间客房和套房,同时还有水疗室、舞厅和一个图书馆,餐厅,咖啡厅,酒吧和画廊。它还将有一个游泳池和健身中心。
"The tower's reflective skin and slender profile camouflage with the landscape, abstracting and displacing the valley and sky," said the architects."The combination of one-room-per-floor and a narrow floor-plate afford exclusive panoramic views of the Alps." “塔的反光的表面与景观和纤细轮廓被景观所伪装，抽象和取代了山谷和天空,”建筑师说，“每层一间客房和一个狭窄的底板可以提供阿尔卑斯山的极致全景”。
Morphosis was commissioned to design the hotel following a controversial competition process, which saw the jury distance themselves from the appointment. Morphosis 是经历了有争议的竞争过程后被委托设计酒店的,可以看出陪审团和对其的任命保持距离。
Due for completion in 2019, the building will be part of the Vals resort, which already includes a hotel as well as a world-famous spa building by Swiss architect Peter Zumthor. Morphosis 建筑预计在2019年完工，该建筑将成为瓦尔斯地区的又一胜地,这儿已经有了大型酒店以及由瑞士建筑师彼得.祖默托设计的世界闻名的温泉建筑。
"Morphosis was selected by the client for the strength of their proposal, which uses a Minimalist approach to help the hotel blend with the mountain landscape at the existing resort campus," said a statement from the firm. “Morphosis凭借着雄厚的实力获得客户的青睐，他们的建议的力量,它使用一个极简主义的处理手法来帮助酒店融入到现有度假胜地的山地景观中去。”该公司的一份声明提到。
"The new hotel and arrival is defined by three forms: a podium linking the building with neighboring structures; a cantilever containing a restaurant, cafe, spa, and bar – public amenities shared with the town; and a tower holding a sky bar, restaurant, and 107 guest rooms with panoramic views." “新的酒店被定义为三种形式:通过周边结构连接平台与建筑;悬臂里包含一个餐馆,咖啡馆,水疗中心,和酒吧——公共设施与城市共享;一个托着凌空酒吧,餐馆,和107间全景客房的塔楼。”
The structure is called the 7132 Tower after the client 7132 Ltd, which manages the resort in Vals. It will be Morphosis Architects' first project in Switzerland. The LA-based firm is known for buildings including the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas and the Hollywood campus of Emerson College. 建筑的结构被称为7132塔楼体系，是以负责管理瓦尔斯度假胜地的7132有限公司而命名的。 这将是Morphosis建筑事务所在瑞士的第一个项目。 这个从洛杉矶发迹的事务所以设计了在达拉斯佩罗自然科学博物馆和好莱坞爱默生学院而闻名。
A total of eight firms were originally shortlisted for the competition, which was launched last June. The jury led by Sauerbruch Hutton co-founder Louisa Hutton recommended three schemes by Morphosis, American architect Steven Holl and London firm 6a Architects, before 7132 made its final decision. 自去年6月举办比赛，最初共有八家公司入围决赛。由Sauerbruch Hutton创始人路易莎赫顿领衔的评审团最终推荐三个方案，包括Morphosis建筑事务所，美国建筑师斯蒂芬·霍尔和伦敦公司6A建筑事务所 ,最后的决定由7132年做出。
But the five jurors later issued a statement through the Swiss Society of Engineers and Architects distancing themselves from the appointment, which they claimed took place when "a decision had not yet been made". 但五评委之后通过瑞士工程师和建筑师协会发表了一份声明，对评审结果保守距离。他们声称这是一个“尚未做出决定”。
7132 was founded by Vals resident Remo Stoffel, who bought the Swiss resort from the local government in 2012. 7132 now manages the existinghotel as well as Zumthor's Therme Vals spa – considered one of the Swiss architect's most important works. 7132有限公司由瓦尔斯居民Stoffel创立,他在2012年从当地政府那儿买了瑞士的这块度假胜地。现在，7132有限公司管理着运营的酒店以及祖默托的瓦尔斯温泉浴场——这被誉为瑞士建筑师最重要的作品之一。
Built over the only thermal springs in the Graubünden canton, the spa was completed in 1996. It features walls of locally sourced Valser quartzite slabs and a grass roof. 瓦尔斯温泉浴场建立在格劳宾登州唯一的温泉边,温泉浴场在1996年竣工。它的墙壁就地取材于瓦尔斯的英岩板和草屋顶。
Japanese architect Tadao Ando is also designing a park for the site, called the Valser Path, which is due for completion in 2017. 日本建筑师安藤忠雄也为这儿设计一个公园,叫瓦尔斯幽径,将在2017年竣工。
