在可持续设计原则的指导下，NUDES设想了一个净零能耗的观景塔。

这个名为“太阳树”的项目探索了由预制“单元”组成的模块化建筑的概念，人们可以在其中欣赏周边风景。

与该工作室设计的森林学校方案类似，该项目的特点是圆柱形和一系列悬挑的阳台。

guided by principles of sustainable design, NUDES has conceived of a net-zero energy observatory tower. the concept, called ‘solar tree’, explores the notion of a modular architecture composed of prefabricated ‘cells’, where people can enjoy views of the surrounding landscape. similarly to the studio’s forest school proposal, the project is characterized by a cylindrical form and an array of projecting balconies.

垂直核心由连接到圆形走廊的圆形坡道组成，从而连通各个观测台单元。这些单元被旋转和堆叠以创建一个动态的组合，从而在各个层次提供不同的视觉体验。

每个模块化的预制“单元”均由悬挑阳台组成，使游客可以从塔楼的表皮中走出，去欣赏无障碍的景观。

NUDES还曾设想在这些单元中放置轻质的“太阳能叶片”，这可能有助于实现零能耗。

the vertical core consists of a circular ramp that connects to an orbicular corridor. leading into individual observatory cells. these cells are rotated and stacked to create a dynamic assembly that offers varied vistas and experiences at every level. each modular, prefabricated ‘cell’ consists of projecting balconies that allow visitors to step out of the tower’s skin and absorb the landscape devoid of any visual barriers. NUDES has also imagined these cells to house lightweight ‘solar leaves’, which could potentially contribute to net-zero energy requirements.
