from the typical norm of small and compact units. The building is crafted with
flexibility and functionality in mind. The communal facilities are designed to
allow the occupants to be surrounded by nature. This design approach is to
enhance living experience of its residents.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

front of one another to give depth and dynamism to the development. A variety
of unit types (studios and lofts) are skilfully woven together, to create a
façade that is animated and porous. Light penetrates the building and garden

celebrates the dominant forms of architecture. It is proud of its materiality
in the sense that the concrete walls are all exposed, there is no need for
cosmetic treatment of paint which is the more common practice. This building
shows that good architecture can be constructed with simple construction
materials, that architecture should be true to its core identity.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PQFj-OsPF48/YLwH6noMZdI/AAAAAAAAFHc/9ydZbj8nyB8F1pecOBKUbWSdUCLSc-K_QCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/concrete-facade.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PQFj-OsPF48/YLwH6noMZdI/AAAAAAAAFHc/9ydZbj8nyB8F1pecOBKUbWSdUCLSc-K_QCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/concrete-facade.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_8HMM-yZ0Vc/YLwH611wVrI/AAAAAAAAFHg/acW16eXtQGYs20yrgob6ZFMxa1hi8lZaQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/exposed-concrete-walls.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_8HMM-yZ0Vc/YLwH611wVrI/AAAAAAAAFHg/acW16eXtQGYs20yrgob6ZFMxa1hi8lZaQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/exposed-concrete-walls.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R9qzbLpH-zk/YLwH64mPAdI/AAAAAAAAFHk/akrqcFCfGZse9624lu5YWafC0PIFlpELgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/form-architecture.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R9qzbLpH-zk/YLwH64mPAdI/AAAAAAAAFHk/akrqcFCfGZse9624lu5YWafC0PIFlpELgCLcBGAsYHQ/w426-h640/form-architecture.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span lang="EN-US">由</span> Ken Wong Architect <span lang="EN-US">设计</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-bidi-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-hansi-font-family: "MS Mincho";">的</span> Tamarind Suites <span lang="EN-US">背后的</span><span lang="EN-US">设计</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-bidi-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-hansi-font-family: "MS Mincho";">理念</span><span lang="EN-US">是打破廉价公寓</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-bidi-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-hansi-font-family: "MS Mincho";">的典型</span><span lang="EN-US">规</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-bidi-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-hansi-font-family: "MS Mincho";">范。</span><span lang="EN-US">这</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-bidi-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-hansi-font-family: "MS Mincho";">座建筑的</span><span lang="EN-US">设计</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-bidi-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-hansi-font-family: "MS Mincho";">充分考</span><span lang="EN-US">虑</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-bidi-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-hansi-font-family: "MS Mincho";">了灵活性和功能性。</span><span lang="EN-US">设计让</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-bidi-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-hansi-font-family: "MS Mincho";">居住者被大自然包</span><span lang="EN-US">围</span>, <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-bidi-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-hansi-font-family: "MS Mincho";">于是提升居民的生活素</span><span lang="EN-US">质和</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-bidi-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-hansi-font-family: "MS Mincho";">体</span><span lang="EN-US">验</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-bidi-font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-hansi-font-family: "MS Mincho";">。</span></span></p>

a lush vertical garden inspired by the city’s greenery. Singapore is fast
carving a name for herself as the vertical garden city of the world with
countless high rise buildings with such design. PLP’s biophilic design will
blur the line between indoor living areas and outdoor spaces. The architect
determines to redefine metropolitan living by promoting health and wellbeing, a
thing that was not associated with living in the concrete jungle in most people’s
minds.</span></span></p><p><span style="text-align: justify;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GRPDFZZhMmQ/YISX076T6VI/AAAAAAAAFDQ/aIsGF_CYbMAXEyaUWcTOosLPX_j4IhlYwCLcBGAsYHQ/s599/vertical-gardens-singapore.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="vertical gardens" border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="599" height="534" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GRPDFZZhMmQ/YISX076T6VI/AAAAAAAAFDQ/aIsGF_CYbMAXEyaUWcTOosLPX_j4IhlYwCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h534/vertical-gardens-singapore.jpg" title="城市花园" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;"><p>Set in Singapore’s coveted Orchard neighbourhood, formerly home to
orchards, Park Nova tower was inspired by the area’s history and lush green
character, striving to maintain and further enhance this feature. The building
is elevated above the tree canopy on slender columns. Optimal shading and
ventilation are achieved by the rotated undulating floor plates which are
arranged to form three wings.</p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The 21-storey building contains 54 apartments and hosts a
variety of resident amenity spaces. Each apartment benefits from a 270degree
panoramic view, and the green terraces offer a natural noise barrier. The

become the only building that contains the tallest atrium twisting through its
centre.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The 45-storey skyscraper designed by Zaha Hadid, the late founder of
Zaha Hadid Architects before her death in 2016, is located in the Fengtai
business district.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Commissioned by Soho China, the same developer of Galaxy Soho and
Wangjing Soho, the Leeza Soho skyscraper contains a mix of shops and offices
surrounding the mind-boggling atrium.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cOM_ybDkpSA/YFUeqYAEb5I/AAAAAAAAFBA/6IW9Q-invVUATuVNBeuWJoiV-U0iyJS3wCLcBGAsYHQ/s752/leeza-soho-light.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Leeza Soho tower" border="0" data-original-height="752" data-original-width="564" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cOM_ybDkpSA/YFUeqYAEb5I/AAAAAAAAFBA/6IW9Q-invVUATuVNBeuWJoiV-U0iyJS3wCLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/leeza-soho-light.jpg" title="Zaha Hadid Architects" width="480" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">Beijing's multi-modal urban plan is aimed at accommodating growth
without impacting its existing infrastructure networks in the centre of the
city. The new Fengtai business district plays an integral role to complement
the city’s greater vision, explained Patrik Schumacher who took over Zaha Hadid
Architects firm.</p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The completed Leeza Soho has 45 floors above ground, and four floors under
ground.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It is positioned on a site adjacent to the precinct’s main railway
station, and straddles an underground subway service tunnel.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Its position over this tunnel led Zaha Hadid Architects to divide the
building in two halves, which resulted in the formation of a giant atrium at
its centre.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This atrium runs the full height of the building, which at 194.15
metres makes it the world's tallest atrium, overtaking the previous record held
by the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Gp6daGRiBoM/YFUeU7qHecI/AAAAAAAAFA0/MfRMBBSoSpMbOcBeYbWAY44hTwIqmZq8gCLcBGAsYHQ/s846/leeza-soho-atrium.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Leeza Soho atrium" border="0" data-original-height="846" data-original-width="564" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Gp6daGRiBoM/YFUeU7qHecI/AAAAAAAAFA0/MfRMBBSoSpMbOcBeYbWAY44hTwIqmZq8gCLcBGAsYHQ/w426-h640/leeza-soho-atrium.jpg" title="Zaha Hadid" width="426" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">As it rises, the Leeza Soho's void twists by 45 degrees to appear as
though the two sides of the tower are moving together in a beautiful dancing
motion.</p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The dynamic shape of the atrium creates convex openings on either side
of the tower, which allow natural light into the interiors and provide views
out over towards the city from each floor.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6p9nl5QLMcw/YFUefU6u_8I/AAAAAAAAFA4/kaWAZP9Wh7AbWMFovL4lFRTgsCKV7oXUQCLcBGAsYHQ/s846/leeza-soho-atrium-views.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="846" data-original-width="564" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6p9nl5QLMcw/YFUefU6u_8I/AAAAAAAAFA4/kaWAZP9Wh7AbWMFovL4lFRTgsCKV7oXUQCLcBGAsYHQ/w426-h640/leeza-soho-atrium-views.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">The lowest level of the atrium has been designed to act as a public
square for the business district, and is directly linked to the interchange
beside the site.</p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The two parts of the Leeza Soho are linked internally by elevated
walkways that project across the void from four different levels, while
externally they are fused together by a curtain glass facade.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This glass facade is double insulated, and is made up of a number of
glass panels that are angled to aid ventilation. The intention is to help
maintain a comfortable indoor climate in Beijing's variable weather conditions.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lqDgIfonWSg/YFUe6hHedSI/AAAAAAAAFBM/4arhQmQumq47epGXl1-jmTDgQC2B_fazgCLcBGAsYHQ/s849/leeza-soho-zaha-hadid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Leeza Soho by Zaha Hadid" border="0" data-original-height="849" data-original-width="564" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lqDgIfonWSg/YFUe6hHedSI/AAAAAAAAFBM/4arhQmQumq47epGXl1-jmTDgQC2B_fazgCLcBGAsYHQ/w426-h640/leeza-soho-zaha-hadid.jpg" title="Zaha Hadid" width="426" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">In a bid to enhance the building's environmental performance, the
tower is fitted with heat recovery from exhaust air and high-efficiency pumps,
water-collection facilities, grey water flushing and an insulating green roof
with photovoltaic panels.</p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There are also 2,680 bicycles parking spaces with lockers and shower
facilities, alongside charging spaces for electric or hybrid cars to encourage
users to travel sustainability.</span></p>Cheng Tanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01180973813583507540noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1027307731192113546.post-36889334083944934862021-03-18T15:07:00.005+11:002021-03-18T15:07:53.201+11:00Top 5 Iconic Skyscrapers In Japan<span style="font-family: verdana;">No. 1 ~ Tokyo SkyTree (634 meters)</span><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Designed by star architect Ole Scheeren, this building almost looks like it belongs to the fantasy world of Anime or Gaming. The facade of the tower looks like it has been scratched by a giant monster like Godzilla when it wrecked havoc in the busy streets of Bangkok while stepping on a few Tuk Tuk along the way.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6NubaiYPl4E/YE_uk9XNTTI/AAAAAAAAE-s/MXwzOwigNgg0paZXEWaPTPtQXfFTVarDwCLcBGAsYHQ/s646/mahanakhon-bangkok-thailand-godzilla.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Godzilla destroys Bangkok building" border="0" data-original-height="646" data-original-width="564" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6NubaiYPl4E/YE_uk9XNTTI/AAAAAAAAE-s/MXwzOwigNgg0paZXEWaPTPtQXfFTVarDwCLcBGAsYHQ/w558-h640/mahanakhon-bangkok-thailand-godzilla.jpg" title="giant monster destroys Bangkok" width="558" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YAIxT3UOXUg/YE_tcmDezTI/AAAAAAAAE-c/F2VZm2mfcyIxvR8TL-vaWY0gkgxrkS35QCLcBGAsYHQ/s705/mahanakhon-bangkok-thailand-night.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Bangkok at night" border="0" data-original-height="705" data-original-width="564" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YAIxT3UOXUg/YE_tcmDezTI/AAAAAAAAE-c/F2VZm2mfcyIxvR8TL-vaWY0gkgxrkS35QCLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h640/mahanakhon-bangkok-thailand-night.jpg" title="Bangkok city" width="512" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">This building defies all our knowledge of a tall buildings by deliberately 'scars' its face as if it is still left standing after a meteor hit the face of the earth.

the city of Nagoya, Japan. This shimmering tower spirals 36 stories [170 m]
above the busy streets of Nagoya, Japan, and house educational facilities for
three different disciplines – fashion design, computer programming and medical
support. Architectural group Nikken Sekkei incorporated a host of green design
features in the tower including a double-glazed air flow window system and
natural ventilation system.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EOhjTd7kL34/YEwrsp-RSsI/AAAAAAAAE9k/YgprRghbNKsrYqSOJBlTmNoWZEc3rK5WQCLcBGAsYHQ/s751/mode-gakuen-spiral-towers-nikken-sekkei-nagoya.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Nikken Sekkei" border="0" data-original-height="751" data-original-width="564" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EOhjTd7kL34/YEwrsp-RSsI/AAAAAAAAE9k/YgprRghbNKsrYqSOJBlTmNoWZEc3rK5WQCLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/mode-gakuen-spiral-towers-nikken-sekkei-nagoya.jpg" title="Japanese architecture" width="480" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">Due to significant political, social and practical constraints, building
green can be a challenge in major metropolitan areas. A typical double-glazed
air flow system significantly reduces heating and cooling loads by the passage
of indoor/outdoor air (exhaust air/return air) between two panes of glass. The
cavity between the panes typically has blinds which can be operated according
to heating/cooling requirements at particular time. It’s a system that has been
hugely successful at significantly reducing heating and cooling loads in large
buildings and one that continues to spread across the globe.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VLK8AdBwsgk/YEwsFksS1qI/AAAAAAAAE9s/2eZYGNy4hxs9tmIntG6CahX1SLWDtyo-gCLcBGAsYHQ/s568/mode-gakuen-spiral-towers-nikken-sekkei.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Nagoya City" border="0" data-original-height="568" data-original-width="380" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VLK8AdBwsgk/YEwsFksS1qI/AAAAAAAAE9s/2eZYGNy4hxs9tmIntG6CahX1SLWDtyo-gCLcBGAsYHQ/w428-h640/mode-gakuen-spiral-towers-nikken-sekkei.jpg" title="Japanese cities" width="428" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">The Spiral Towers appears quite precarious from the street especially
when it is erected in an earthquake prone location. The structural ingenuity of
this tower has simple structure; a pivotal inner truss tube acts as a central
pillar supporting the three, gently tapering wings. The truss tube is
constructed of concrete-filled, steel tubular columns with structural braces
affixed around the base. The entire structure is designed and fitted with some
of the most robust seismic engineering features in the region. Students from
the three schools: Nagoya Mode Gakuen , HAL Nagoya and Nagoya Isen —are sure to

great rendering job!” Upon closer look at more photos, I then realized that
this is an actual building that is built! The uniqueness of this building no doubt
is its twisting form. It is a rather unusual form to be adopted for an
apartment building. The form is not designed purely for aesthetic reasons but
there are logical driving force behind it.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OX4paJfAx-Q/YB3PPNQevhI/AAAAAAAAE30/-QKP0GGSYKoIlKvZ7QTa5OePrKAf0L1zACLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/taipei-twisting-tower.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Taipei twisted tower" border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="805" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OX4paJfAx-Q/YB3PPNQevhI/AAAAAAAAE30/-QKP0GGSYKoIlKvZ7QTa5OePrKAf0L1zACLcBGAsYHQ/w516-h640/taipei-twisting-tower.jpg" title="台北" width="516" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The architect designed this form to achieve 4 main objectives:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">• To integrate the North / South pyramidal profile of the Building
Volume defined with the urban setbacks stipulated by the Municipality of
Taipei.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">• As the suspended open-air gardens is not included in the floor area
ratio, a dramatic cascades of these gardens is achieved since the planted
balconies surface area can exceed the limit of the required 10%.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">• Provide panoramic views of Taipei skyline to each inhabitants. Taipei
101 tower cab be seen from this building.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">• Provide privacy to each apartment by avoiding direct vision axes. As
the tower moves up every floor is rotated by 4.5 degrees clockwise to a total
of 90 degrees. The tower looks different when viewed from different angles.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ykPjeUKL6dI/YB3P1EGU4mI/AAAAAAAAE4E/1wBMyaIeCcg7Bab8KsQBkDHOofWsKeNqACLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/taipei-twisting-tower-balcony.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="high rise apartment in Taipei" border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="749" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ykPjeUKL6dI/YB3P1EGU4mI/AAAAAAAAE4E/1wBMyaIeCcg7Bab8KsQBkDHOofWsKeNqACLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/taipei-twisting-tower-balcony.jpg" title="Taipei apartment balcony" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kqsi4gNuC_I/YB3P1NuojkI/AAAAAAAAE4I/wNEDNZoTIA4tz5C_HO7lvAba5k0z3tq9QCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/taipei-twisting-tower-cascades.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="vertical garden" border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="667" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kqsi4gNuC_I/YB3P1NuojkI/AAAAAAAAE4I/wNEDNZoTIA4tz5C_HO7lvAba5k0z3tq9QCLcBGAsYHQ/w426-h640/taipei-twisting-tower-cascades.jpg" title="urban forest" width="426" /></a></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">« Tao Zhu Yin Yuan » tower is self-sufficient energy wise. The “Tao
Zhu Yin Yuan” tower is also inspired by the structure of double helix DNA
(Deoxyribonucleic acid) which symbolises source of life, dynamism and twinning.
Every double helix is represented in the project by two housing units forming a
full level.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n_gDMMF8_0s/YB3PdqpeleI/AAAAAAAAE34/nDzb2vIkmV4mh-WO2_VV2wi8JY5ffN42ACLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/taipei-twisting-tower-101.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="view of Taipei 101" border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="749" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n_gDMMF8_0s/YB3PdqpeleI/AAAAAAAAE34/nDzb2vIkmV4mh-WO2_VV2wi8JY5ffN42ACLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/taipei-twisting-tower-101.jpg" title="Tao Zhu Yin Yuan Taipei" width="480" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">To achieve its Anti-Global Warming and Carbon-Absorbing Ecosystem
objectives, Tao Zhu Yin Yuan covers its open spaces with trees, planting
approximately 23,000 trees, shrubs and plants on the ground floor garden, the
balconies and terraces of each household. It is estimated that the annual
carbon absorption of this project could reach up to 130 tons with a green
coverage of 246%, which is nearly 5 times higher than required by local regulation.
Professional botanists carefully selected and planted multiple species of trees
with better carbon absorption capabilities to improve the air quality. The
growing plants on balconies provide oxygen, moisture environment, also mitigate
the noise from surroundings. In addition, the tower integrates natural
ventilation chimneys filtering the air inside the central core, rainwater
recycle, wireless monitor control of LED lighting, fiber optic connection,
light guide system and solar/wind power to achieve energy saving and carbon
reduction. The double skin façade at the central core of the building extracts
air at ground level by heating it in a specially adapted glass greenhouse at
the base before letting the air pass through a series of filters and releasing
clean air at the top. The heating at the base of the tower is done using solar
energy. Think of the tower as a giant air purifier smacked right in the centre
of a big city!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vaKaPmvw774/YB3QGfBRWvI/AAAAAAAAE4U/44b8faF1dh8ofhVNilezj37ZHrsUTgefwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1338/taipei-twisting-tower-solar.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="solar energy Taiwan" border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1338" height="478" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vaKaPmvw774/YB3QGfBRWvI/AAAAAAAAE4U/44b8faF1dh8ofhVNilezj37ZHrsUTgefwCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h478/taipei-twisting-tower-solar.jpg" title="solar panel on roof" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Solar panels is designed to integrate into the aesthetic of the roof.</td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Besides protecting the environment, the design team of this project
also has to consider earthquake resistant. The structural design is inspired by
the body of a skier in the design. The central core of the tower is the human
body. The 5‐meter truss structure above 21F are the two arms. The megacolumns
on the two sides are the ski poles. A suspended structural system and a
Vierendeel truss system (a set of beams for every two floors) transfer all the
weight via the arms (beams) to the body (central core) and then down to the
foundation. The result is a one‐of‐a‐kind structural design that combines the
science of mechanics and the art of aesthetics.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8mgn_GfYiv8/YB3QV1Yqw3I/AAAAAAAAE4Y/_wJ9uxLLc-Mx0czI9ghP_jvBeb4TfHrUACLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/taipei-twisting-tower-vertical-forrest.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="urban landscape design in Taiwan" border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="820" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8mgn_GfYiv8/YB3QV1Yqw3I/AAAAAAAAE4Y/_wJ9uxLLc-Mx0czI9ghP_jvBeb4TfHrUACLcBGAsYHQ/w524-h640/taipei-twisting-tower-vertical-forrest.jpg" title="gardens on Taipei balcony" width="524" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Tao Zhu Yin Yuan is a building that co-exists with the environment. The
tower is a huge carbon absorbing Vertical Forest which sets the benchmark for
designing eco-friendly buildings in urban environment. This tower no doubt has
successfully put Taiwan on the map in terms of fighting global warming. It is a
perfect example of action speaks louder than words. Let’s hope that more

retail and office tower. It is a product inspired by the urban, environmental
and cultural context of contemporary Singapore.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Located at the intersection of Market Street and Robinson Road, the
form of this building is the result of the odd shaped site. There are two
primary volumes ~ a crystalline office tower that appears to be floating in the
air and a retail podium below it. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dHPRIa0l9qM/YBSKdFQh4EI/AAAAAAAAE1o/m-ugJHt2YNMVAQbtclwz2-8Yn_VubH56QCLcBGAsYHQ/s750/beacon-singapore.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Singapore office tower" border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="492" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dHPRIa0l9qM/YBSKdFQh4EI/AAAAAAAAE1o/m-ugJHt2YNMVAQbtclwz2-8Yn_VubH56QCLcBGAsYHQ/w420-h640/beacon-singapore.jpg" title="18 Robinson" width="420" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Singapore’s Landscape Replacement Area policy
dictated that the building must offer publicly accessible green space that is
equivalent to the site area. The solution to this authority’s requirement is to
create a landscaped podium and rooftop Sky Garden featuring planted trees and natural
ventilation. These areas also provide stunning views across the city.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E0rQvhL7sXY/YBSKq5I8q4I/AAAAAAAAE1w/yWGEhCl8brQ_dkQtUeCqgu1OVJXG83Q2QCLcBGAsYHQ/s751/18-robinson-singapore.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="balcony office tower" border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="751" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E0rQvhL7sXY/YBSKq5I8q4I/AAAAAAAAE1w/yWGEhCl8brQ_dkQtUeCqgu1OVJXG83Q2QCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/18-robinson-singapore.jpg" title="huge balcony in office" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t_Ts-GnTp2Q/YBSKq2v5dcI/AAAAAAAAE1s/YvSi5ASd-vQh2DXFbrT_JafdLA3vJOlxQCLcBGAsYHQ/s534/sky-garden-singapore.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="garden inside office tower" border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="534" height="600" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t_Ts-GnTp2Q/YBSKq2v5dcI/AAAAAAAAE1s/YvSi5ASd-vQh2DXFbrT_JafdLA3vJOlxQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h600/sky-garden-singapore.jpg" title="sky garden in Singapore building" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">The podium is elevated above the street, enhancing the spaciousness

angled composition of the tower allows more natural light into the building’s interior
and mitigates direct views into adjacent towers.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-21eK03P3rn4/YBSLBpUuA-I/AAAAAAAAE2A/KM0jnIYGXQQ4QlW_4YS9zJE5wVk6cMvegCLcBGAsYHQ/s750/robinson-road-singapore.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Singapore office building" border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="443" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-21eK03P3rn4/YBSLBpUuA-I/AAAAAAAAE2A/KM0jnIYGXQQ4QlW_4YS9zJE5wVk6cMvegCLcBGAsYHQ/w378-h640/robinson-road-singapore.jpg" title="office at intersection of major roads" width="378" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WttmHaez1J0/YBSLCDDbTZI/AAAAAAAAE2E/iGvSZBIdV7AJxZ_jGCXPKCgQFtNx3kRQwCLcBGAsYHQ/s751/sharp-site-singapore.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="triangle shaped building" border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="751" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WttmHaez1J0/YBSLCDDbTZI/AAAAAAAAE2E/iGvSZBIdV7AJxZ_jGCXPKCgQFtNx3kRQwCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/sharp-site-singapore.jpg" title="aerial view of Singapore architecture" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">这座高楼的</span><span face=""Microsoft JhengHei",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Microsoft JhengHei";">设计理念</span><span lang="EN-US">是</span><span face=""Microsoft JhengHei",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Microsoft JhengHei";">创</span><span lang="EN-US">建一个具有</span><span face=""Microsoft JhengHei",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Microsoft JhengHei";">标</span><span lang="EN-US">志性,精品店和环保的</span><span face=""Microsoft JhengHei",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Microsoft JhengHei";">办</span><span lang="EN-US">公大楼。设计灵感来自于当代新加坡城市,</span><span face=""Microsoft JhengHei",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Microsoft JhengHei";">环</span><span lang="EN-US">境和文化背景</span><span lang="EN-US">。</span></p>

Financial Centre tower has added to the skyline of the region overlooking Macau
across the other side of the water. It is designed by the award winning
architectural firm Aedas. Statement from the architect states that: “The
spirally rising volume invokes the Chinese myth of flood dragons emerging from
the sea – a perfect metaphor for the strength and power of the region.” What a
bold and strong statement for a building!</p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Located in
Zhuhai’s Hengqin Island, a future financial district connecting Hong Kong,
Macao, and other major cities in the Greater Bay Area. The city, surrounded by
the sea and mountainous terrain and positioned at the heart of this world-class
city cluster, is set to become the catalyst of growth highlighted in China’s
latest national development strategies.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zPlc7p00-Xs/YAtjTslrL6I/AAAAAAAAE0Y/9nma3K2_ScYESP8msqdDn7PNBICSZCUAwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1582/china-futuristic-building.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="China futuristic building" border="0" data-original-height="890" data-original-width="1582" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zPlc7p00-Xs/YAtjTslrL6I/AAAAAAAAE0Y/9nma3K2_ScYESP8msqdDn7PNBICSZCUAwCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h360/china-futuristic-building.jpg" title="fluid architectural facade" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">“The site
possesses powerful momentum for future developments. So we imagined this unique
building to express the quality of speed, growth, and vitality. It resembles
prosperity of the new district and rise of the country,” explains Dr. Andy Wen,
Aedas Global Design Principal. The development comprises mixed programs
including Grade-A office, conference and exhibition amenities, commercial
apartments, and retail space. Conventional and retail spaces are placed in the
podium to allow for easy public access. Offices are located at the middle
section of the tower while the apartments are placed at the top, enjoying the stunning
views of the area.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--Oy_ZCm2f8Y/YAtjntCa9AI/AAAAAAAAE0k/9finvcxd_oM0B08tGRmrsu8Oj8rushY9QCLcBGAsYHQ/s1499/china-sexy-building.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Chinese skyscrapers" border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1499" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--Oy_ZCm2f8Y/YAtjntCa9AI/AAAAAAAAE0k/9finvcxd_oM0B08tGRmrsu8Oj8rushY9QCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/china-sexy-building.jpg" title="super tall building in China" width="640" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">The design
team has to impose high requirements on the tower’s wind load to withstand the
strong winds during typhoon seasons due to the subtropical climate of Zhuhai. The
building’s orientation is meticulously adjusted to reduce wind drag and improve
pedestrians’ experience. The fluid elevations are clad in glass and metal
panels, sweeping down to form a huge curtain wall system swept aside and end in
horizontally creased envelope surrounding a high exhibition space with a canopy
over the entrance. A smooth transition between the tower and the low rise podium
is achieved by twisting the vertical elements of the building into the podium
roof.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-trsm4kE2Jk4/YAtj02w-nbI/AAAAAAAAE0o/-kQFbRGHGKQ-qIMCgEnWSjfu7EwnKr8bQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1499/aedas-china-tower.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Asian skyscrapers" border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1499" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-trsm4kE2Jk4/YAtj02w-nbI/AAAAAAAAE0o/-kQFbRGHGKQ-qIMCgEnWSjfu7EwnKr8bQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/aedas-china-tower.jpg" title="sweeping curtain glass wall facade" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">Source: ArchDaily</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="EN-US">坐落在珠江口,这座</span>339<span lang="EN-US">米高横琴国</span><span lang="EN-US">际</span><span lang="EN-US">金融中心成了</span><span lang="EN-US">该</span><span lang="EN-US">地区的新标志</span><span lang="EN-US">,风水好的地段还可以俯瞰对面的澳</span><span lang="EN-US">门</span><span lang="EN-US">。它由屡</span><span lang="EN-US">获</span><span lang="EN-US">殊荣的建筑公司</span>Aedas所<span lang="EN-US">设计</span><span lang="EN-US">。建筑</span><span lang="EN-US">师</span><span lang="EN-US">的声明指出:</span>“<span lang="EN-US">螺旋式上升的体</span><span lang="EN-US">积唤</span><span lang="EN-US">起了从海中涌出的洪水</span><span lang="EN-US">龙</span><span lang="EN-US">的中国神</span><span lang="EN-US">话</span><span lang="EN-US">,</span><span lang="EN-US">这</span><span lang="EN-US">是</span><span lang="EN-US">对该</span><span lang="EN-US">地区</span><span lang="EN-US">实</span><span lang="EN-US">力和力量的完美诠释</span><span lang="EN-US">。</span>” </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="EN-US">位于珠海的横琴</span><span lang="EN-US">岛</span><span lang="EN-US">,</span><span lang="EN-US">这</span><span lang="EN-US">是一个未来的金融区,</span><span lang="EN-US">连</span><span lang="EN-US">接香港,澳</span><span lang="EN-US">门</span><span lang="EN-US">和大湾区的其他主要城市。</span><span lang="EN-US">这</span><span lang="EN-US">座被海洋和山脉</span><span lang="EN-US">环绕</span><span lang="EN-US">的城市</span><span lang="EN-US">,将成</span><span lang="EN-US">为</span><span lang="EN-US">中国最新国家</span><span lang="EN-US">发</span><span lang="EN-US">展</span><span lang="EN-US">战</span><span lang="EN-US">略中</span><span lang="EN-US">强</span><span lang="EN-US">调</span><span lang="EN-US">的成长區纽</span><span lang="EN-US">。</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="EN-US">该项</span><span lang="EN-US">目</span><span lang="EN-US">包括高</span><span lang="EN-US">级办</span><span lang="EN-US">公楼,会</span><span lang="EN-US">议</span><span lang="EN-US">和展</span><span lang="EN-US">览设</span><span lang="EN-US">施,商</span><span lang="EN-US">业</span><span lang="EN-US">公寓和零售空</span><span lang="EN-US">间</span><span lang="EN-US">。</span><span lang="EN-US">办</span><span lang="EN-US">公室位于塔楼的中部,而公寓</span><span lang="EN-US">则</span><span lang="EN-US">位于塔</span><span lang="EN-US">顶</span><span lang="EN-US">,可让住户欣</span><span lang="EN-US">赏</span><span lang="EN-US">到</span><span lang="EN-US">该</span><span lang="EN-US">地区</span><span lang="EN-US">的壮</span><span lang="EN-US">丽</span><span lang="EN-US">景色。</span> </span></p></span><p></p>Cheng Tanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01180973813583507540noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1027307731192113546.post-62093614875129774482021-01-16T15:44:00.009+11:002021-01-16T16:34:16.078+11:00Upcoming Futuristic Skyscrapers In Shenzhen<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1i8PQzmDsWg/YAJtsikTM0I/AAAAAAAAEvw/DQRAdOpMYng_hBgpZY5rsz5PxYtrMaS5QCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/ZHA_Shenzhen_Tower_C-night.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="深圳市" border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="734" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1i8PQzmDsWg/YAJtsikTM0I/AAAAAAAAEvw/DQRAdOpMYng_hBgpZY5rsz5PxYtrMaS5QCLcBGAsYHQ/w470-h640/ZHA_Shenzhen_Tower_C-night.jpg" title="Zaha Hadid Architects Shenzhen" width="470" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">The design competition to build Tower C at the Shenzhen Bay Super
Headquarters Base, in China has been won by Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA). Their
multi-dimensional vertical city design consists of two naturally-lit towers
that establish connections to the Shenzhen's urban intersections – namely the
north-south green axis and the east-west urban alley.</p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The idea is to connect the proposed buildings with the adjacent parks
and plazas, fusing them together into a terraced landscape which extends
upwards between the two towers. Public are able to walk right into the heart of
the building where cultural and leisure facilities are placed. Sweeping bridges
link the towers together. These bridges are also designed as vantage points
that provide panoramic views of the city.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-p2cxtLi1Tt0/YAJvCywhtaI/AAAAAAAAEwU/o4B2wzmRFjQtTcZbrtZw0RE8MOLIV-UNACLcBGAsYHQ/s791/terrace-landscape-shenzhen-city.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="public space" border="0" data-original-height="412" data-original-width="791" height="334" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-p2cxtLi1Tt0/YAJvCywhtaI/AAAAAAAAEwU/o4B2wzmRFjQtTcZbrtZw0RE8MOLIV-UNACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h334/terrace-landscape-shenzhen-city.jpg" title="terraced landscape" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">Thanks to the advance 3D modeling tools developed by ZHA, the
architects have better control over the architectural massing, buildings orientations,
and façade-to-floor ratios. The final design stands at nearly 400m, wrapped
with double-insulated curtain glazed walls. The buildings incorporate natural
and hybrid ventilation with environmental control available on each floor.</p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">In line with the district’s smart management systems and the city’s ambition
to increase energy efficiencies and public well-being, external and interior
conditions of the buildings will be constantly monitored, energy consumption
will be adjusted via a smart building system. Other green design features of
the buildings include water-collection and recycling, as well as photovoltaics.
In addition, the aquaponics gardens situated on the terraces will biologically
filter the surrounding atmosphere to reduce pollution.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-seZQOowcu8U/YAJuURwA-jI/AAAAAAAAEwA/8TrwXU3aJcQ26Do-zVGTGw6WRjDVrArmgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1582/china-shenzhen-city.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Chinese skyscrapers" border="0" data-original-height="686" data-original-width="1582" height="278" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-seZQOowcu8U/YAJuURwA-jI/AAAAAAAAEwA/8TrwXU3aJcQ26Do-zVGTGw6WRjDVrArmgCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h278/china-shenzhen-city.jpg" title="skyscraper in Asia" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">Once completed, the proposed building will be an important economic
contributor to the Chinese city of Shenzhen, serving Guangdong, Hong Kong and
Macau. The project, which will act as a global technological hub that includes
clusters of corporate headquarters, is planned to accommodate 300,000 employees
every day. In addition to the business facilities, Tower C will also has
multiple venues to host international conferences, exhibitions, and cultural
programs, as well as residential developments.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KuDuc317_f4/YAJujDENn0I/AAAAAAAAEwE/InT8YWP78OEH4nKCbXcdUbHhsoxXZ0DlQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/ZHA_Shenzhen_Tower_C.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Shenzhen China" border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="733" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KuDuc317_f4/YAJujDENn0I/AAAAAAAAEwE/InT8YWP78OEH4nKCbXcdUbHhsoxXZ0DlQCLcBGAsYHQ/w470-h640/ZHA_Shenzhen_Tower_C.jpg" title="Shenzhen twin towers" width="470" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">著名建筑公司Zaha Hadid Architects<span lang="EN-US">(</span>ZHA<span lang="EN-US">)最近</span><span lang="EN-US">赢</span><span lang="EN-US">得了在中国深圳湾超</span><span lang="EN-US">级总</span><span lang="EN-US">部基地</span>C<span lang="EN-US">座高楼的</span><span lang="EN-US">设计竞赛</span><span lang="EN-US">。</span></span></p>

They are meaningless, crowded and soulless.</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: initial; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #303030; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin: 0px 0px 1.75em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Situated among those buildings, Conrad hotel is the outcome of the slow-design. The façade element, which looks like the nervous tissue, is planted into a simple cubic. It is the toxin that destroys and transforms the surface into an organic envelop. The whole building is turned into a melting box, a starting point for the urban grid to change from the solid efficiency into the liquid idea. The standard product of the production line is therefore replaced by the digital craft of difference.</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: initial; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #303030; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin: 0px 0px 1.75em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">During the architecture evolution, people of different historical time tried to create organic buildings by their hand-made crafts. Their works are the representation of the worship of nature, the courage to break the heaviness of building and the passion of life. It is the spirit of sublime that became the culture icon of the era and the city. Conrad hotel is the design that appreciates the slowness in the fast urban development in China. The product of architecture is like the growing process of urban dwellers in the city, it is the evolution of energy and identity. The new urban efficiency is the difference precisely controlled and produced by the high-tech modern industry, and it creates the new possibility for people living in the city to discover their own new experience.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NscIuGUa-yo/X-K_5p9cgZI/AAAAAAAAEcE/QFTYHyeuNdoC2cP7FGuc8rZIGoiGIPkcACLcBGAsYHQ/s600/conrad-hotel-beijing-facade-windows.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="394" data-original-width="600" height="420" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NscIuGUa-yo/X-K_5p9cgZI/AAAAAAAAEcE/QFTYHyeuNdoC2cP7FGuc8rZIGoiGIPkcACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h420/conrad-hotel-beijing-facade-windows.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G8wZG9T8ycY/X-K_5ov9YpI/AAAAAAAAEcA/38loFORazrYNbQ5dYvi861NPzrWYjk3tgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/conrad-hotel-beijing-facade.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G8wZG9T8ycY/X-K_5ov9YpI/AAAAAAAAEcA/38loFORazrYNbQ5dYvi861NPzrWYjk3tgCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h640/conrad-hotel-beijing-facade.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: initial; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #303030; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin: 0px 0px 1.75em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: initial; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #303030; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin: 0px 0px 1.75em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Source: ArchDaily</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: initial; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #303030; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.75em; margin: 0px 0px 1.75em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">This type of buildings are made possible by the advance in computer graphics whereby the architects can now let their imagination go wild with the help of 3D modelling tools.
