近日，温哥华建筑师迈克尔•格林(Michael Green)提出方案,希望重塑巴黎标志性的天际线——建造世界上最高的木结构建筑。该项目被称为“猴面包树”,是“彻底改造巴黎”竞赛的参赛项目之一。“猴面包树”项目将市场和福利性住房、学生酒店，以及城市花园结合在一起,同时还包含一个公交车站,电子汽车枢纽以及其他设施等。

作为为数不多被邀请到TED进行演讲的建筑师，Michael Green在TED上关于高层木结构的构想激励了更多致力于将更先进工程木材料用于高层建筑的先锋建筑师。不可错的绝佳演讲视频：

Michael Green Architecture (MGA) and DVVD has teamed up with REI France developments to propose the world’s tallest wood building in Paris. The carbon-neutral proposal, developed as part of the city’s innovative Réinventer Paris competition, aims to alleviate the city’s urban housing challenges.

“Our goal is that through innovation, youthful social contact and overall community building, we have created a design that becomes uniquely important to Paris,” said Michael Green, Principal of MGA. “Just as Gustave Eiffel shattered our conception of what was possible a century and a half ago, this project can push the envelope of wood innovation with France in the forefront. The Pershing Site is the perfect moment for Paris to embrace the next era of architecture.”
