Description Design of four office towers in the Shenzhen CBD district.:
The Shenzhen CBD will undeniably be strongly dominated by the new stock
exchange building with its remarkable character. The building is conceived
as a tower with a lifted block for the collective programs. This causes
not only a remarkable figure; it also creates a nice sheltered plaza. It
is an object with an urban meaning.
Can and should this direction not set the tone for the further development of the district? Can this suggestion be extended in the urban approach of the surrounding four new towers, so that a partly covered district appears instead of a single main building surrounded by bland characters? By doing this, besides the great central open area a series of more sheltered plazas and pavements emerge, protecting Shenzhen’s citizens from the strong sun and rain, encouraging street life and street usage. A vivid district can be imagined.
CATALOGUE
A ’catalogue’ of floor plans has been developed: from normal floors that surround the core evenly, via floors with a bigger floor plan on one side, via complete single oriented deeper floor plans, via U and L shaped floor plans, to floors with private wings for executive staff or meeting rooms.
DIFFERENTIATION AND ADAPTATION
The selection of the floor types can lead to different highly customized towers. Every tower is different in its composition. In this way the towers become different but related. it leads to a ‘family’ of towers.
THE GREEN TOWER
The balconies can be used to position plantations, with water basins, interconnected with stairs, Vertical parks emerge. Truly green buildings become possible. With the plants the entire buildings obtain a tree like appearance. A welcoming compensation in an area that is so dominated by straight forward elements of mirrors and glass.

Parecen libros apilados... Sería un buen proyecto para una biblioteca, más que un edificio de oficinas
