Production Technology

One of the key objectives of this development is sustainability. The design of the Jinwan International Business Center is driven by the creation of an economic and environmentally sustainable development. The towers and podium are regular in shape to create an economically efficient design that is simple to construct and is extremely cost effective. Passive environmental strategies include wind and solar orientation, façade shading devices and high performance glass.

Design Challenge

Since this project is located in the new development district, the design aims not only to create a landmark of the district, but also to attract the visitors and boost the economy of the region in the long run. Hence, the paired towers are designed to sit prominently at the center of the northern edge of the new lakefront within the district, like a symbolic gateway to create a new landmark representing the district. Together with the public components at the ground floor level, the design team believes the project will create an active and animated waterfront as attraction for visitors.

Research

Since the Jinwan Aviation City is part of the government’s plan to diversify the region’s economy by adding aviation as a major industry, the project is designed to reflect the importance of aviation. Design team believes the aerodynamic form can reflect the future prominence of China within the aviation industry, they also believe the form is an appropriate symbol can create a landmark of Jinwan Aviaton City.

Inspiration

The design is inspired by the rising prominence of China’s rapidly growing aviation industry as the new Jinwan International Business Center is influenced by its prominent position within the Jinwan Aviation City. To reflect the importance of aviation to both China and Jinwan Aviation City, aerodynamic forms are the inspiration for the Jinwan International Business Center that captures the spirit of the aviation industry. Particularly, the design of the building form for the twin towers is inspired from the form of an aerodynamic wing shape.

Project Duration

The project design started in mid-2016 and the construction is targeted to complete in 2022. The project design is done in Hong Kong. It is sitting prominently at the center of the Jinwan District, the design for this development capitalizes on its unique position within the district. The towers are oriented to maximize views to the waterfront and the natural environment. At the same time, the two towers frame views through the center of the site and maintain a strong axial relationship to the prominent north-south axis of the district.

Operation Flow

The new Jinwan International Business Center is composed of a commercial and a residential district. In commercial district, both towers are symmetrical along a long axis with soft elliptical form at each side of this axis. The form conveys a soft image yet the plans are very efficient, modular and regular in shape. At each end of the long axis, the tower forms are slightly concave to create a slimmer and elegant profile under the sky.
