In the realm of innovative architecture, few projects rival Ummahat AlShaykh Island in sheer ambition and eco-conscious design. Spearheaded by architect Kengo Kuma and his team, this project is a triumph of sustainability and luxury tourism in the heart of the Red Sea.
在创新建筑领域，很少有项目能与乌玛哈特·阿尔谢赫岛的雄心壮志和生态设计相媲美。由建筑师隈研吾及其团队领导，这个项目是红海核心地带可持续性和豪华旅游的胜利。

The Ummahat AlShaykh Island project is made up of 22 islands located on the west coast of Saudi Arabia and its design philosophy is deeply rooted in respect for the environment. The ambitious masterplan zone is surrounded by yet more islands, miles of sweeping desert and dramatic volcanic landscapes, and developer Red Sea Global (formerly TRSDC) tasked Kengo Kuma with the design of luxury tourist villas and other buildings on one of the project's islands.
Ummahat AlShaykh Island 项目由 22 个岛屿组成，位于沙特阿拉伯西海岸，其设计理念深深植根于对环境的尊重。这个雄心勃勃的总体规划区被更多的岛屿、数英里长的广阔沙漠和壮观的火山景观所环绕，开发商红海全球（前身为 TRSDC）委托了隈研吾设计项目中一个岛屿上的豪华旅游别墅和其他建筑。

Kuma and his team have opted for a site-specific approach, crafting low, horizontally oriented "Land Villas" with gently curved roofs that mimic the natural contours of the surrounding sand dunes. The design of the villas not only ensures guest privacy but also minimizes sand infill, in an effort to preserves the island's shape. In addition, taking cues from coral ecosystems, the sea villas situated offshore boast a helical structure that emerges from the sea, providing guests with stunning views across the water.
隈研吾及其团队选择了一种特定于场地的方法，打造了低矮、水平定向的“陆地别墅”，其温和弯曲的屋顶模仿了周围沙丘的自然轮廓。别墅的设计不仅确保了客人的隐私，还最大程度地减少了沙填充，以保护岛屿的形状。此外，受珊瑚生态系统的启发，位于海上的海上别墅拥有螺旋结构，从海中崛起，为客人提供了迷人的水景观。

"Our design approach for the Ummahat AlShaykh island project, was deeply rooted in the site's unique characteristics, fostering a philosophy of seamless integration with the surrounding landscape," says Kengo Kuma and Associates. "Despite the challenges presented by the delicate environment, our site-specific approach guided us in crafting [the Land Villas]."

To construct the resort, Kuma opted for the use of sustainable alternatives to traditional construction materials and methods. Prefabrication systems, primarily utilizing spruce timber and clay plaster, were adopted to minimize the use of concrete and reduce the project's environmental footprint. The roofs are clad with natural cedar wood shingles, specifically chosen for their resilience against harsh weather conditions and salt water.
为了建造度假胜地，隈研吾选择使用可持续替代传统建筑材料和方法。采用预制系统，主要利用云杉木和粘土灰泥，以最小化混凝土使用量，减少项目的环境足迹。屋顶覆盖着天然雪松木瓦片，特别选择它们具有抵御恶劣天气条件和盐水侵蚀的韧性。

In a climate like the one in Ummahat, shade and ventilation are also of vital importance. The architects therefore created roofing that features large cantilevering in all of the dwellings, maximizing the shade area over the entire day.
在乌马哈特这样的气候中，遮荫和通风也至关重要。因此，建筑师们在所有住宅中创造了具有大悬臂的屋顶，最大程度地增加整天的遮荫面积。

Moreover, Kuma and his team have taken a proactive approach to environmental conservation by designing buildings that can be disassembled and removed without causing significant damage to the environment. Prefabrication played a pivotal role in achieving this goal, allowing for minimal disruption to the island's delicate ecosystem.
另外，Kuma 和他的团队通过设计可以拆卸并移除而不会对环境造成重大破坏的建筑，积极参与环境保护。预制在实现这一目标中发挥了关键作用，减少了对岛屿脆弱生态系统的干扰。

As part of the Ummahat 9-3 project, Kuma and his firm also designed two specialty restaurants, one on land and one over water; a community building; spa; reception pavilion; housekeeping villas; and a guest jetty.
作为 Ummahat 9-3 项目的一部分，Kuma 和他的公司还设计了两家特色餐厅，一家在陆地上，一家在水上；一个社区建筑；水疗中心；接待亭；家政别墅；以及一个客人码头。

Beyond its architectural and environmental achievements, the Ummahat AlShaykh Island project holds broader significance within the context of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 initiative. As part of this ambitious plan to diversify the country's economy, the project represents a forward-thinking approach to sustainable development and tourism.
除了其建筑和环境成就之外，乌玛哈特·阿尔谢赫岛项目在沙特阿拉伯 2030 愿景倡议的背景下具有更广泛的意义。作为该雄心勃勃计划的一部分，该项目代表了可持续发展和旅游的前瞻性方法。
