nice one.

I wonder why they used the skyline of minneapolis as a background in the first two pics. it's not like bangkok doesn't have it's own skyline.

[Myster E]

Nice and original design, but it doesn't look anywhere near 235 metres in the renders. Either the designer of the concept render made the cars big, or the tower itself small. I opt for the latter

[tanzirian]

Very nice tower. Manages to be pleasingly asymmetric...which is something many buildings try to do, but not succeed.

[giovani kun]

super I love it :)

[great184]

Thats one huge podium!

[paw25694]

nice one..
reminds me of Petronas, but the top is chopped off and add some Suvarnabhumi taste.. :D:D

It will look amazing when finish in Bangkok's skyline.

[colemonkee]

The cladding looks better than the renderings. That's always a pleasant surprise.

[Phobos]

The top is nice,maybe the base should be shorter,so the building would look taller.

Thanks for the update!

I am still very impressed with The City Of Angels and I've been there 5 times over the past 10 years. I love the photos of the modern highrise buildings going up next to some charming old style temple with the layered roofs and the elegant chedi spires. A contrast of modern Thailand and old Siam!

[HomesickAlienn]

i just hope that the base doesn't exist...
the tower would be 10 times more slender
it still looks really nice anyway.

[bestkub]

very nice !

[Densetsu]

i like like the curves on the top really much :cheers2:

Hideous. The podium is so grossly oversized that it's offensive.

The podium of this building must take up half its height. The skyscraperpage drawing made the building look like the podium takes up 1/4 of its height.

[Taiki24]

OMG! I love this tower! It kind of reminds me superficially of The U.S. Bank tower in L.A.

Grand design for Bangkok completes

http://static.worldarchitecturenews.com/project/uploaded_files/11632_centara7main.JPG

Bangkok skyline transformed by architectural hotel and convention center

Designed by BBG-BBGM and Tandem Architects, the Centara Grand tower has now completed to transform the Bangkok skyline. Integrated into a multipurpose podium, in addition to the hotel public floors, this large volume houses parking floors and extensive convention facilities.

The iconic hotel tower soars high above the podium to take its place as a landmark building in the Bangkok skyline. The mass of the podium is a succession of concentric circles layered around the tower shaft. The glass and metal cylinder rises directly from the street to a height of approximately 210 meters. Its architectural expression consists of an arrangement of horizontal banding overlaid onto a strong vertical framework. Dynamism and the play of transparency versus solidity are the hallmarks of the overall design. These elements combine to create a building whose lightness belies its large mass.

The architecture at the top of the tower unfolds into a dramatic outer shell, culminating in two elongated arches inspired by a young lotus flower blooming high above the water. The graceful architectural gesture evokes the harmony born out of disorder and will become an immediate urban landmark.
