Architects have designed an incredible 65-storey 'earth-scraper' which plunges 300 metres below ground. The stunning upside down pyramid in the middle of Mexico City is designed to get around height limits on new buildings in the capital.

墨西哥建筑师日前设计了一座深入地下达300米的65层“摩地大楼”，令人叹为观止。这座“倒金字塔”位于墨西哥城的市中心，如此设计是为了规避墨西哥城新建筑限高的规定。

The subterranean building will have 10 storeys each for homes, shops and a museum, as well as 35 storeys for offices. The Earth-scraper preserves the iconic presence of the city square and the existing hierarchy of the buildings that surround it. It is an inverted pyramid with a central void to allow all habitable spaces to enjoy natural lighting and ventilation.

“摩地大楼”中住宅、商场以及博物馆各占10层，另外35层用作办公楼。“摩地大楼”既保存了城市广场这个地标，又没有破坏广场附近的现有建筑层次。大楼设计为倒金字塔型，采用中空结构，所有居住空间都可享受自然照明和通风。
