These twin towers are currently under construction in Guangzhou, China. Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), the 204-metre buildings will form Sany IROOTECH's new headquarters. Their diagrid structures help to improve their resistance to earthquakes while minimising the number of moment connections, making them more efficient to build. The skyscrapers are rising from an elevated podium above a new public plaza. The project topped-out in 2023 and is due to fully complete later in 2025. 📷 SOM #architecture #engineering #construction #skyscraper #China
Great!
Love this
The elegance of the engineering solution seamlessly aligns with architectural aesthetics. These towers, like precious jewels, adorn the urban landscape of Guangzhou. Their diagrid structure highlights the grace of form and sets a new standard for resilience and construction efficiency. A true symbol of modern approaches to architecture and engineering.
So cool!
