几个世纪以来，荷兰一直在和不断上升和下降的潮汐作斗争，建造堤坝并抽水，获得海平面以下的土地。现在，可以不用忙着去排干他们的土地的渗入海水，荷兰可以采用一种新的发展方式——所谓'新水'项目 ，这是世界上第一个浮动公寓。 新项目由位于荷兰的“水工作室”的Koen Olthuis设计。由于采用水冷却技术，它比传统的地面的住宅节约25 ％的能源。 ?

Now, rather than fight the water infiltrating their land, the Dutch will use it as part of a new development called ‘New Water‘, which will feature the world’s first floating apartment complex, The Citadel.   This “water-breaking” new project was designed by Koen Olthuis of Waterstudio in the Netherlands, and will use 25% less energy than a conventional building on land thanks to the use of water cooling techniques. 版权：翻译 www.ArchGo.com 戎
