Aedas-designed Chongqing Gaoke Group Ltd Office Project stands at the north of Xingfu Plaza, Jiangbei District of Chongqing. As the construction progresses, the project has started to reveal its grand gesture in the city center. The vertical façade expression interweave with linear curves, to compose a fluid visual rhythm of the design. This project is expected to be completed in 2022, positioning itself as one of the “Most Twisting Towers in the world”.
The magnificent twisting sculpts an impressive torsional shape for the tower. The maximum twisting angle is up to 8.8 degrees per floor, noticeably surpassing existing super high-rise tower in the world by nearly 1.5 times (CTBUH Journal, 2016 Issue 3). After completion, it is expected to be one of “The Most Twisting Towers in the world”. Innovative façade technology from RFR empowers precise execution of such challenging design.
Global Design Principal Ken Wai and his team, has introduced an impressive façade design through bottom-to-top connections between northern and eastern sides. The ‘ballet of light’ is characterised by the juxtaposition of rectilinear forms and tower facades with double curves. When the sun rises, the curved facade shines, and the tower becomes the building of light. When night falls, the curved facade showcases reflections that allude to the dancing figure of a ballerina.
As for the master layout, thorough consideration has been taken to the surrounding environment and the building volume. A variety of public space for civic leisure has been created.
