蒙帕纳斯大厦耗资8亿欧元的翻新计划已被搁置，重燃了关于巴黎最具争议地标之一未来的数十年辩论。
A €800 million facelift of the Montparnasse Tower has been shelved, reviving a decades-old debate over the future of one of Paris’s most divisive landmarks.
共同业主以压倒性多数否决了翻新工程的第一阶段，导致将这座1970年代大厦改造为更轻盈、更环保的摩天大楼的计划彻底落空。
The plan to transform the 1970s tower into a lighter, greener skyscraper has collapsed after its co-owners overwhelmingly rejected the first stage of the renovation.
周三，超过76%的利益相关者投票反对拆除石棉、清空内部和部分拆除外立面的合同。
More than 76 percent of stakeholders voted on Wednesday againstg contracts to remove asbestos, strip out the interior and partly dismantle the facade.
这一决定实际上扼杀了重建项目，因为其规划许可将于11月底到期。
The decision effectively kills the redevelopment project because its planning permission expires at the end of November.
大厦已为施工腾空，但因成本上升、融资和楼面重新分配的争议，业主们不得不重新商议方案。
The building has already been emptied in preparation for the work, but disputes over rising costs, financing and the redistribution of floor space sent its owners back to the drawing board.
该大厦最大共同业主LFPI投资集团在夏季撤回了支持，此前它曾支持该方案。其他主要股东包括健康保险公司MGEN、安盛保险公司和房地产投资基金Icade也加入了反对行列。
The LFPI investment group – the tower’s largest co-owner – withdrew its support over the summer after previously backing the scheme. It was joined by other major shareholders including health insurers MGEN, Axa insurance company and real-estate investment fund Icade.
预计成本已从2017年新设计方案公布时的3亿多欧元飙升至约8亿欧元。
The projected cost had risen from just over €300 million when the new design was unveiled in 2017 to around €800 million.
一座巴黎从未爱过的塔楼 这场纠纷是这座建筑在建成前就引发争议的历史的最新篇章。
A tower Paris never loved The dispute is the latest chapter in the history of a building that divided opinion even before it was built.
20世纪50年代末，随着巴黎寻求新的办公空间和现代化基础设施，旧蒙帕纳斯火车站周边的重建规划应运而生。
Plans to redevelop the area around the old Montparnasse railway station emerged in the late 1950s, as Paris sought new office space and modern infrastructure.
大厦于1969年动工，1973年落成，高210米，共59层，其整体式设计在当时仍以奥斯曼风格建筑、教堂圆顶和埃菲尔铁塔为主的天际线中显得格格不入。
Construction began in 1969 and the 210-metre tower opened in 1973, its 59 storeys and monolithic design standing out starkly in a skyline still largely defined by Haussmannian buildings, church domes and the Eiffel Tower.
反对声浪酝酿多年。1963年，报纸曾辩称“革命性的城市规划在此无所裨益”，暗示建筑实验应在巴黎之外进行。
Opposition had been building for years. In 1963, newspaper argued that “revolutionary urban planning has nothing to gain here”, suggesting that architectural experiments belonged outside Paris.
即使是坚定支持首都现代化的总统乔治·蓬皮杜也存有保留。他在1972年接受采访时为高层建筑的原则进行了辩护，但承认他觉得蒙帕纳斯大厦的外立面“令人悲伤”。
Even President Georges Pompidou, a strong supporter of modernising the capital, had reservations. Speaking to in 1972, he defended the principle of high-rise buildings but admitted he found the Montparnasse Tower's façade “sad”.
这座大厦后来成为了巴黎市中心反对高层开发更广泛浪潮的标志。1977年，规划法规在很大程度上将新建建筑高度限制在最高37米，这有助于让摩天大楼在数十年间远离历史中心区。
The tower later became emblematic of a wider backlash against high-rise development in central Paris. In 1977, planning rules largely restricted new buildings to a maximum of 37 metres, helping keep skyscrapers out of the historic centre for decades.
它的问题不仅仅是美学上的。大楼内还被发现含有大量石棉，导致了一项漫长而复杂的清除计划。巴黎蓬皮杜中心因大规模翻新关闭至2030年更环保的愿景该重建计划于2015年首次宣布，旨在不仅仅是翻新一座老旧的办公楼。
Its problems were not only aesthetic. Extensive asbestos was also discovered in the building, leading to a long and complex removal programme. Pompidou Centre in Paris closes until 2030 for extensive renovations A greener vision First announced in 2015, the redevelopment was intended to do more than refurbish an ageing office block.
2017年，由三家巴黎建筑事务所组成的合伙企业Nouvelle AOM赢得了一场国际竞赛，将彻底改造大厦的外观。
In 2017, Nouvelle AOM, a partnership of three Paris architecture firms, won an international competition to radically modify the tower's appearance.
他们的方案保留了现有结构，但将深色外立面替换为更轻盈的玻璃，同时增加种植露台，并将低层部分更直接地向周边社区开放。计划在高层设置一家酒店，屋顶则设有农业温室。
Their proposal retained the existing structure but replaced the dark façade with lighter glass, while adding planted terraces and opening the lower levels more directly to the surrounding neighbourhood. A hotel was planned for the upper floors, with an agricultural greenhouse on the roof. The architects said they wanted to create a tower that was “clear, open to the outside and rooted in the life of the neighbourhood”.
建筑师表示，他们想要打造一座“清晰、向外开放并扎根于社区生活”的塔楼。

环境性能也是该项目的核心，自然通风、低碳材料和大面积种植旨在减少能源消耗。关于“重振”巴黎圣母院内部的争议性计划获批重回绘图板该愿景以目前的形式已被搁置。
Environmental performance was also central to the project, with natural ventilation, low-carbon materials and extensive planting intended to reduce energy use. Controversial plans to 'liven up' Paris' Notre-Dame's interior approved Back to the drawing board That vision is now off the table in its current form.
新成立的业主委员会预计将研究一个雄心较小的翻新方案，并最终提交一份新的规划申请。利益相关方MGEN呼吁推行“一个我们有能力实施的、进度更快的项目”。还计划就清理和除石棉工程进行另一次投票。
A newly formed owners’ committee is expected to look at a less ambitious renovation and eventually submit a fresh planning application. Stakeholders MGEN have called for “a faster project that we are capable of carrying out”. There are also plans for another vote on clearance and asbestos-removal work.
该重建项目与蒙帕纳斯综合体的全面改造相关联，其中包括对其底部老旧购物中心的改造计划。
The redevelopment was linked to a wider overhaul of the Montparnasse complex, including plans for the ageing shopping centre at its base.
部分业主已开始推动挽救该项目的部分内容。居民协会前主席弗雷德里克·勒莫斯、商人泽维尔·尼尔以及另外两位共同业主在周三投票后表示，他们不准备“让蒙帕纳斯大厦就此埋没”。
Some owners are already pushing to salvage part of the project. The former president of the residents' association, Frédéric Lemos, businessman Xavier Niel and two other co-owners said after Wednesday’s vote that they were not prepared to “bury the Montparnasse Tower”.
巴黎十五区区长菲利普·古容也呼吁达成妥协，警告不要放弃一个已筹备超过10年的项目。
Philippe Goujon, mayor of Paris’s 15th arrondissement, has also called for a compromise, warning against abandoning a project that has been in development for over 10 years.
