- captured 14 nov 2014 at centara bangkok by khun archstudent.
Main points
- This tower is all done by thai people. Architect design by A49, MEP design by EEC, SOM is just a facade consultant.
- They originally wanted to make it the tallest building in Thailand, but they said they were greedy and want it to be the tallest in Asean
- The original plan was 3 building, but they don't stand out, and not fit for an icon for Bangkok new CBD. So they decided to combine them and make one tall tower.
- 615m was all they could achieve, because of the setback of the road (Bangkok building height regulation law).
- There was originally 5 designs for this building, but the owner chose this one, because it resembles bird wings, and it doesn't look messy.
- Details are still incomplete, because it is in the design process.
- This is a 6 years project, however the owner would like it to be shorten to 5 years, but that is impossible, as it will take some time, and details of the tower is still ongoing.
- After the launch last week, the chairman of daewoo from Korea and many other TV channels want to set up a TV Transition antenna, because of its height of 615m.
