TIANFU HQ, CHINA AEDAS
Situated in the heart of Tianfu central business district in Chengdu, Aedas global design principal Ken Wai led a team to create Tianfu HQ, a “high-end work-live headquarters tower.” The design has a “semi- open” layout to allow
communal areas and maximise the space for multi functions. The tower has a simple linear facade with slightly tilted panels on the upper half, which outlines an “abstract knot-like architectural form and creates a unique urban fabric,” said the architects. The podium, which is located to the northwest of the site – and which connects to the surrounding park through a corridor – forms a multi- functional commercial street above the sunken plaza. Two sunken courtyards form a public realm with a multi- leveled retail and underground pedestrian system.
DAXIA TOWER, XI’AN, CHINA ZAHA HADID ARCHITECTS
Daxia Group has announced Zaha Hadid Architects will build the new Daxia Tower at the centre of the city of Xi’an’s development zone. Located on Line 6 of Xi’an’s metro system, the Xi’an High-Tech Economic and Technological Development Zone in the city’s southwest includes manufacturing, research and development bases of more than one-hundred Fortune 500 companies and multinational corporations. The new tower for Daxia Group on Jingye Road is at the core of Xi’an’s high- tech zone which has become a key driver of the city’s economic growth.
Situated on a 16,700 m2 site at the south east corner of the intersection between Jingye Road and Zhangbawu Road in the Yanta district of the city, the 210 m tower will incorporate 127,220 m2 of offices, retail and ancillary facilities. The tower’s curving silhouette is accentuated by layers of patterned glazing and dramatic atriums that bring natural light deep into the floorplates, and give panoramic views. Planted interior terraces overlooking the atriums will help foster a healthier indoor environment. Within Xi’an’s temperate continental monsoon climate, Daxia Tower’s design targets LEED Gold certification and the highest three-star rating of China’s Green Building Program.
