About Hengqin International Financial Center Torre de uso mixto
El Centro Financiero Internacional de Hengqin es una torre de uso mixto situada en la isla del distrito central de negocios de Hengqin. El edificio integra en un solo conjunto las funciones de oficinas, conferencias, exposiciones, apartamentos y comercio. Inspirada en una antigua pintura china conocida como el mapa de los Nueve Dragones (Kowloon), la torre presenta una forma espiral continua que se eleva desde el suelo y se divide en cuatro coronas. Su altura alcanza los 339 metros, y la planta tipo mide 44,8 metros de ancho y de profundidad. Se recurrió al modelado digital y al diseño paramétrico para racionalizar los paneles de fachada y controlar el costo de construcción.
