印度绿色高层建筑

The design concept for India Tower was informed by Mumbai’s climate, the site, and the desire to create distinctive indoor and outdoor spaces with optimum views, inspirational settings, and personalized contemporary accommodations for all users. Designed to have the least possible impact on the environment, the tower will integrate current innovative sustainable systems and technologies throughout the building – solar shading, natural ventilation, daylighting, rainwater harvesting, and green interior finishes and materials – to make it one of the greenest skyscrapers in India.

   I am not against being Eco-friendly but i strongly feel that you are missing the point,
   1) If you know the area where the building is going to come, up you will realize that only a certain class will be able to afford it (simply going by the real estate prices and hotel rentals), which means that the building actually caters to a section of people who have a lavish lifestyle, or should i say, believe in over consumption, which is in complete contradiction to your own ideas of environment and sustainability.

   2) The construction of the Tower of that scale is against the CRZ (coastal regulations zone) that is a policy to ensure the safeguard of flora and fauna from intense building and construction activity, and limits building heights within 500 mts from the coast to about 24 mts. (G+7)

   3) The tower also completely ignores ideas of Heritage properties around, the ground plus 4 buildings along the Queens necklace are from the Art Deco style and are of heritage importance to the city.

   4) lastly being next to the sea, the amount of sheer resources the tower will demand for its maintenance will shock you, (please find out the amount of money spent by each building along that stretch to protect itself from corrosion).
