远景及周远远境prospect
This hybrid building, a design by Steven Holl with partner Li Hu, includes apartments, a hotel, and offices for the headquarters for Vanke Real Estate Co. ltd. A conference center, spa and parking are located under the large green, tropical landscape which is characterized by mounds containing restaurants and a 500-seat auditorium.
The decision to float one large structure right under the 35-meter height limit, instead of
several smaller structures each catering to a specific program, generates the largest
possible green space open to the public on the ground level.
Suspended on eight cores, as far as 50 meters apart, the building’s structure is a
combination of cable-stay bridge technology merged with a high-strength concrete frame.
The first structure of its type, it has tension cables carrying a record load of 3280 tons.
As a tropical strategy, the building and the landscape integrate several new sustainable aspects. A microclimate is created by cooling ponds fed by a grey water system. The building has a green roof with solar panels and uses local materials such as bamboo. The glass faade of the building will be protected against the sun and wind by perforatedç
louvers. The building is a tsunami-proof hovering architecture that creates a porous micro-climate of public open landscape; the first LEED platinum rated building in Southern China.
