9 . Switzerland is set to become home to the world’s tallest wooden residential (住宅的) building.

The project, named Rocket & Tigerli, will consist of four buildings including one that takes pride in a 100-meter-tall (328-foot) tower.

The design will offer modern, high-quality housing with a maximum inflow of daylight, according to its designers, the Danish firm Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects (SHL). It will also seek to create an active neighborhood that will be “rooted in the area’s historical context,” according to a press release from the firm. The surface, for example, will be covered in dark red and yellow bricks combined with dusty green-colored details — in keeping with the red roofs and yellow bricks of the older buildings in the surrounding area.

“It is a big project that will have a significant influence on the community, socially as well as aesthetically. Because of the strong special knowledge Switzerland has, when it comes to building in wood, we are particularly proud to be working on this ground-breaking project.”

The four buildings will consist of housing facilities as well as spaces for shopping, a sky bar and a hotel. It is expected to be completed and ready for residents to move into by 2026. The striking architecture projects set to shape the world in 2022.

SHL competed with eight other architecture companies around the world to design the building. Earlier this year, its design proposal was chosen as the winner — in part because of its open block structure.

The jury (评审团) said in its assessment: “By dissolving the original block structure and integrating (整合) the separate buildings a larger surface area is achieved and thus more daylight, as well as a stronger connection to the surrounding environment.”

1. What can be a highlight of Rocket & Tigerli?

A．Its residents	B．Its designers.
C．Its tall tower.	D．Its different surface.

2. What are designed in the project according to SHL?

A．Stores.	B．Hospitals.
C．Museums.	D．Playgrounds.

3. What can be regarded as the main advantage of SHL’s design?

A．Its low construction cost.

B．Its short construction period.

C．Its advanced firm management.

D．Its creative construction concept.

4. What can be the title of this passage?

A．World Architectural Styles Need Changing

B．World Architectural Competition Came to an End

C．World’s Tallest Built Residential Tower in Switzerland

D．World’s Tallest Wooden Residential Building to Be Built
