第三名 2013年摩天大楼竞赛
Ting Xu，Yiming Chen 中国
全球主要城市人口的迅速增加导致了糟糕的发展和严重的城市设计问题，包括基础设施、住房和休闲区的不足。在北京，大部分历史中心都被拆除了。
为了使这个拥挤的城市的居民可以拥有更多的绿地和休闲空间，一种方法是建造一座悬浮在地面上方的摩天大楼，将新的建设带到天空中。光之公园 "Light Park" 通过位于顶部的大型蘑菇状充满氦气的气球和直接位于气球下方的太阳能推进器保持悬浮。承载公园、运动场、温室、餐厅和其他用途的平台通过钢索悬挂在结构的顶部；这些平台在球状容器的周围以不同的方向展开，以平衡其重量。这些平台也错落排列，以确保每个层级都能最大程度地暴露在阳光下。
透明的太阳能电池板覆盖在容器的顶部，为下方的设施提供能源，同时位于顶部的水收集器将降水导向过滤器，然后将清洁水送入整个结构。
虽然它并不能完全解决北京的严重交通和人口过剩问题，但光之公园可以向公众提供宝贵的绿地，同时也有助于减轻增加建设带来的污染 - 随着公园和植物漂浮在城市上空，空气部分得到净化。
Third Place 2013 Skyscraper Competition
Ting Xu, Yiming Chen China
The rapid increase of population within the major cities around the world has led to poor development and serious urban design problems, including the lack of infrastructure, housing, and recreational areas. In Beijing, a large portion of the historic center has been demolished.
One way to make scarce green and recreation space available to residents of this crowded city is a skyscraper that floats above the land, taking new development to the sky. The Light Park stays afloat thanks to a large, mushroom cap-like helium-filled balloon at its top, and solar-powered propellers directly below. Programmatic platforms that host parks, sports fields, green houses, restaurants, and other uses are suspended from the top of the structure by reinforced steel cables; the platforms fan in different directions around the spherical vessel to balance its weight. These slabs are also staggered to allow for maximum exposure to sunlight on each level.
Translucent solar panels cover the top of the vessel to power the uses below, and water collectors, also located at the top, direct precipitation towards filters that send clean water throughout the structure.
Though it doesn’t completely solve Beijing’s serious traffic and overpopulation problems, the Light Park can return valuable green space to the public, and also help mitigate the pollution that comes with increased development – with parks and plants floating in the sky above the city, the air is partially cleaned.
