While, in Europe or America, trends architectural focuses more on small-sized buildings, or at least, the height or its usability, is not a notable building purpose. Asia is all contrary.
And in the lead, China, which continues to revolutionize the field of modern architecture with proposals risky and big skyscrapers. It is paradise for most avant-garde architects and studios that want stand out.
The major architectural firms worldwide are in constant "struggle" to win some megaproject colossal with striking and modern designs. And of course, the architecture office of Zaha Hadid , is in the front line.
Not long ago, we already published an article about the Inauguration of the futuristic airport designed by Zaha Hadid which occupies more than 700,000 square meters, crazy! But Today, it is also time for another visual spectacle…
The Zaha Hadid architecture studio once again wins a new design award for the construction of Tower C . It will be the center of a super financial headquarters and important commercial center in the bay from Shenzhen (Hong Kong Metropolitan Area).
The spectacular design of the building does not leave indifferent to nobody; two large towers that will reach 400 meters high, with an envelope based on glass walls and a architectural vertebra that will unite the two towers in its part bottom .
Although the height of the building is not the most remarkable nor nor any milestone, if we compare with other buildings built in Asia (See article on tallest buildings in the world). The " superbase " of the building , it will be a reference constructive due to its dimensions and implications in the urban environment.
It must be taken into account that, as a whole, the building will be able to house more than 300,000 employees, whose construction – mainly – will be destined to a center technology that will bring together different corporate headquarters.
The “super base” of the building has been designed in such a staggered with the intention of connecting without barriers architectural with the adjacent squares, streets and parks. But also, rising into the two towers, will be inviting the public into the heart of the building, where They will house leisure areas and cultural spaces.
Over time, lower staggered plants become transformed into a landscape of landscaped terraces where the public will be able to enjoy playful spaces at different heights with all kinds of vegetation and trees.
Technology has always played a big role in the the way the company designs , and Zaha herself Hadid, was one of the pioneers in the use of computers for the architecture in the mid-90s could not be missing in this project!
The design of the structure is conceived with 3D modeling tools developed by the team itself from Zaha Hadid's studio . And, remember, that we already saw any examples of how the office uses intelligence artificial in architectural projects.
With three-dimensional modeling they have achieved optimize the efficiency of the architectural mass, the orientation, the proportions of the facades and their light natural in relation to the floors of the building, being able to obtain office spaces with natural lighting perfect and without columns.
Of course, the technology for building control it will also play an important role. It is the building of the future! Intelligent home automation systems that will monitor continuously the environmental conditions inside the building optimizing energy consumption, humidity, water etc.
The building envelope will be covered by a curtain high-efficiency continuous glass tubes that incorporate systems automated for the control of the luminous intensity of the sun on spaces and individualized ventilation by plants.
The design also incorporates collecting and water recycling, as well as renewable energy by photovoltaic panels to collect solar energy.
Tower C will not only house offices. it's a city multidimensional vertical that will have entertainment, shops, gastronomy, hotel. And in the underground area, apart from the parking spaces for vehicles and bicycles, it will also incorporate one metro stop.
The design of Tower C that we can see from the studio of Zaha Hadid integrates nature with the city within an axis central green that tries to maximize urban development more sustainable by prioritizing users more strongly.
And the fact is that Zaha Hadid's studio has very singular, among which stands out this architecture of a casino that has become an architectural icon.
