浙江省杭州市公益中学2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中英语试卷
It's no secret that there is a space(空间)problem in Manhattan(曼哈顿).People build up higher and higher buildings because there isn't much land left and there is no room to build out.So people have been building lots of tall and thin buildings.Developers(开发商),the government has made laws(法律)that don't allow developers to build too high buildings.
Oiio Studio thinks about things differently, "what if our buildings were not tall but long?" So the founder of Oiio Studio,loannis Oikonomou(设计)a U﹣shaped building,the Big Bend.It would be a very thin building.It would curve at the top and return to the ground.Oikonomous said he thought of the great idea because he learned from a piece of news.It said that a company made a lift that could travel in curves.So he designed the Big Bend.He thought it as "the longest building in the world".It would be 4000 feet from end to end and would need a different lift system.
"We can't change the law, ▲ .So if we can bend(使弯曲)our building," Oiio Studio said.
The Big Bend is just an idea for now.Oikonomous has sent the plans to a few companies,and is looking for developers.If successful,they will build the Big Bend around West 57th Street
