架构师提供的文本描述。马岛(卡福环礁)，马尔代夫-马尔代夫第一个完全由太阳能驱动的五星级度假胜地现在对客人开放。马尔代夫是世界上平均水平最低的国家，也是世界上最美丽的海滩之一。它还使马尔代夫人对海平面上升的影响极为敏感。全球减少二氧化碳的负担主要由少数几个大经济体承担，但在这个小岛屿上实现碳中立应是对较大国家可持续发展的一种激励。世界上最适合展示可持续度假村未来的地方莫过于地中海俱乐部(Club Med)在热带豪华的芬诺湖别墅(Finolhu Villas)。

Text description provided by the architects. MALE’ ATOLL (Kaafu Atoll), The Maldives—The Maldives’ first entirely solar powered five-star resort is now open to guests. The Maldives has the lowest average ground level of any nation, which makes for some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. It also makes Maldivians extremely sensitive to the effects of rising sea levels. The burden of global CO2 reduction lies primarily with a few large economies, but achieving carbon neutrality on this small island should be an inspiration for sustainable development in larger countries. There may be no better place in the world to showcase the future of sustainable resorts than the luxurious tropical setting of Finolhu Villas by Club Med.

该度假村向公众开放了为期三天的特别活动节，首先由地中海俱乐部主席兼首席执行官亨里·吉斯卡德·德·埃斯坦格和地中海东南亚太平洋海蒂·昆克尔俱乐部首席执行官介绍。在仪式上发表的讲话中，“100%太阳能”项目的发起者、马尔代夫酒店业先驱Champa Hussain Afeef回忆说，在我们第一次看到这个岛时，它是“一个简单的有椰子树的沙洲”。在这个项目中，他说：“我们想要做一些不同的、可持续的事情。我相信，可再生能源不仅是旅游业的未来，也是所有其他行业的未来。“

The resort opened to the public with a three-day festival of special events, beginning with presentations by Chairman and CEO of Club Med Henri Giscard d’Estang and CEO of Club Med South East Asia Pacific Heidi Kunkel. At the speech given at the ceremony, the owner, the initiator of “100% solar-powered” project, and Maldivian hospitality pioneer Champa Hussain Afeef, recalled how the island was “a simple sandbank with coconut trees when we first saw it.” With this project, he said, “We wanted to do something different and sustainable. I believe renewable energy is not just the future for tourism, but for all other industries as well.”

由总部位于纽约的建筑公司Yamazaki建筑PLLC与当地公司Design2000和意大利工程公司T合作设计

Designed by New York based architectural firm Yuji Yamazaki Architecture PLLC in partnership with local firm Design 2000 and Italian engineering firm T&D Water Technologies, the island resort will accommodate about 100 guests year round. Guests can relax and enjoy the equatorial sun, and they can also see how solar energy is collected to operate the island. The island is approximately 13 acres with interior space of 123,000 sq. ft. It’s been determined that 67,000 sq ft. of solar panels, with a storage battery generating 1 mega watt on an average sunny day, is sufficient to serve 100 guests and 100 staff occupying the resort at any time. The solar panels are visible to the guests throughout the island and are integrated into all aspects of the resort’s design as an architectural embellishment. The initial investment in the solar system (including the batteries and monitoring system) will be paid off in seven to eight years by eliminating the need to import diesel fuel. This should be a fantastic example for other countries with similar climates. An about two hundred person occupying a 13-acre island is similar to the population density of Miami. In theory, if Miami could delegate just 12% of their land or rooftops to solar panels, the largest city in the “Sunshine State” could be powered entirely by the sun.

尽管太阳系产生了多余的电力，但所有客房的设计都是为了将能源消耗降到最低。典型的客人别墅以可操作的窗户为导向，巧妙地放置，最大限度地利用自然的马尔代夫风通风。每间别墅两侧的木制遮阳屏障在到达外墙和露台之前都会切断直接的阳光，使室内温度保持在较低的水平。大多数客人在入住期间通常不开空调，尽管气候炎热潮湿。

Although the solar system generates a surplus of electricity, all guest rooms are designed to minimize energy consumption. The typical guest villa is oriented with operable windows strategically placed, maximizing air ventilation with natural Maldivian wind. Wooden shade screens on two sides of each villa cut off direct sun before reaching the exterior walls and patio, keeping interior temperatures low. The majority of guests typically do not turn on air conditioning during their stay despite the hot and humid climate.

据Yamazaki，AIA和首席建筑师说：“马尔代夫的所有度假胜地都可以通过船只或水上飞机进入。这个县是独一无二的，你首先看到的是远离海洋或天空的任何建筑物，这让游客对岛上的整个建筑有着令人惊叹的印象。“山崎打算以建筑的形状来适应这个地方的独特性。对于FinolhuVillas，YYA对所有屋顶都使用柔和的曲线，以获得居住在热带环境中的有机体的感觉。山崎说：“香蕉叶、寄居蟹、海浪、海龟-这些都是游客在参观度假胜地后向我指出的有趣的参照点，但在这种情况下，形状确实是一个效率的函数。”周围环境的设计是从以前的设计中汲取灵感的。“创造自然是不可能的，但我们尽力了。岛上有美丽的海滩、海滨植物、椰子林和内陆森林。我们保持这一基本结构，也保持了本地植物调色板，如海莴苣，铁木材，椰子树棕榈，海滩木槿和螺纹松。当你有一个美丽而独特的网站像这样，你只想保存它。希望我们的新景观将与以前的情况无缝地融合在一起。最终，这是人们开始享受的主要事情。“

According to Yuji Yamazaki, AIA, and the principal architect: “All resorts in the Maldives are accessed by boats or seaplanes. It is unique to this county that you first see any building in the distance from the sea or sky, which gives the visitors a stunning impression of the entirety of architecture on the island.” Yamazaki intended for the shape of the buildings to suit the uniqueness of the place. For Finolhu Villas, YYA uses gentle curves for all roofs to derive a sense of the organisms that inhabit the tropical environment. “Banana leaf, hermit crab, ocean wave, sea turtle—those are all interesting reference points that guests have pointed out to me after they have observed the resort, but the shape is really a function of efficiency in this case.”  says Yamazaki. The design of the surroundings takes inspiration from what was there before. “It is impossible to recreate nature, but we tried our best. The island had beautiful beaches, littoral plantings, coconut groves and interior forests. We kept this basic structure, and also kept the native plant palette such as Sea Lettuce, Iron Wood, Coconut Palm, Beach Hibiscus and Screwpine. When you have a beautiful and unique site like this, you want to just preserve it. Hopefully our new landscape will seamlessly blend with what was there before. Ultimately that’s the main thing that people come to enjoy.”
