Skidmore, Owings & Merrill unveil their design for the Shenzhen tower

AVIC plaza stretches along a major artery of Shenzhen, bridging the old downtown and modern city center. In the center sits a retail podium, which is sited diagonally to encourage north-south movement across the plaza. Flanking the podium are two triangular plots: on the northeast plot sits a high-profile office tower, while on the southwest are more secluded apartment towers. The apartment towers connect at every third floor with two-storey public gardens and at the podium roof. Atop the retail podium is the signature tower, which will be an important landmark for the city, its twin vertical blades registering a dynamic profile on the skyline. The tower's verticality is enhanced by mullions, which are further accentuated by fritted glass extensions. These luminescent extensions provide shade the interior from direct sunlight while preserving views from the building of the rapidly growing city.

OMG!!! spectacular architecture...

That part of Shennan Donglu will be really amazing with Shun Hing Square, Kingkei Finance Center Plaza and AVIC Plaza all so close to each other.

Really nice building.It looks like a diamond!

Beautiful tower, cool design, I love it

so is this uc or proposed or approved or fantasy???
please put this in thread title!!

Wouldnt call it spectacular alotugh its works very well. But maybe a brighter facade than that in the renderings would do?

Chinese skyscraper architecture has really matured over the last decade. The designs are much less "out there" and more elegant and classy.

very glassy!!

It looks incredible in the renderings... But I don't like the model render nearly so much...

I have not been to there, but I dream to go there one day.

i really do not know if the web "www.skyscrapercity.com" is so foolish or i am so foolish,i could not find how to upload the pic in my hdd.
if anybody know how to operate,please tell me,i would appreciate him.

@alexanderxu0707

You have to upload them to another server. SSC doesn't allow to upload pics directly as most Chinese forums do.

www.pic.jpg < without the *

Very slow and boring at first, but you'll get used to it quickly. I recomend you imageshack.us for a few pics (you don't even need to register) and photobucket.com to upload pics by groups of 1-20 pics. You need registration there, but it's free.

??

Oops,my brother

anyway it's a fourm,not a image hosting site

to upload your pix for free,click the link below

this project would look soooo great when like 400m, why make it so much shorter? it pisses me off..

245 m is good, i'd like to see more buildings like this in my city :)

245 m is good, i'd like to see more buildings like this in my city :)
I'm waiting for a 45m building in my city :(.

Tallest buildings are 2 church with 50m and 75m, but normal buildings don't go pass 30m.

^^ lol.

Im sorry to bump this thread isnt the design of Global Financial building in Chongqing EXACTLY the same?

Looks like they have started to demolish those small white buildings in front. What is going to be build there?

So fast and it's done.

The cladding looks okay but it's not the best weather to make a judgment.

I only counted about 50 floors before the fins on top. Was there a height reduction to this? Also, whoever knows that can probably answer my other question. Is the Stock Exchange also shorter than originally thought? I saw somewhere that it was under 250m.

Though it has unsual cut design, doesn't stand out among other buildings. Nice glassy cladding.

This tower looks pretty good. Interesting shape and nice modern cladding.

Is this project on hold? It looks like no visible progress has been made in a couple of months.

The cladding is now above the green scaffolding.

Absolutely stunning. Love it!
