RESEARCH ABSTRACT: We take harmony, ecology, publicity, and interaction as our design concept, create green spaces three-dimensionally to blur the boundary between indoor and outdoor areas. By doing this enable to create a lot more common spaces and encourage interaction and communication throughout the tower.
CHALLENGE: The concept of a “cloud hub” created a technological and futuristic building form that celebrates spirit of openness, cooperation and sharing. Three shared functional hubs include a public hub at podium level, a leisure hub in the middle and a business hub on top. Featured boxes are inserted into the building at different levels. Each box interlocks and juxtaposes to create sheer contrasts of varied scales and between the open and exclusive expressions.
