The Design

About Chongqing Gaoke Group Ltd Torre de oficinas

Chongqing Gaoke Group Ltd es una torre de oficinas situada en Chongqing, China. El edificio se eleva hasta una altura de 201 metros y se define por una fachada de doble curvatura. La fachada enlaza los lados norte y este de abajo hacia arriba, y su forma se inspiró en la danza de las auroras boreales. Los volúmenes rectilíneos se disponen junto a superficies de la torre con dobles curvas. El ángulo máximo de torsión alcanza los 8,8 grados por planta. Se emplearon vidrio curvado en frío y modelado de información de construcción (BIM) para resolver la compleja geometría. La torre se completó en 2022.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: This 201M high office tower has the strong feature of Double-Curved Façade, which put it among one of “The Most Twisting Towers in the World”.
Dimensions & Packaging: To achieve a very smooth transition of the glass façade, the design uses double-curved cold form glass instead of the usual or more common faceted method. The maximum twisting angle is up to 8.8 degrees per floor surpassing the existing super high-rise tower in the world by nearly 1.5 times (CTBUH Journal, 2016 Issue 3). The system of cold bend glass on the 3D frame façade component enables a maximum of 86mm in glass deviation between floors, realizing a record-breaking design in China.

Production Technology: The unique twisting results in a high double-curvature ratio, which poses a major challenge for the overall façade system. The team and RFR joint hands to leverage the cold bend glass technique and BIM on complex geometry façade for a magic solution. From overall geometry analysis, façade component modelling & clash-checking, LOD400 detail component modelling, automotive data exporting and auditing, 3D BIM has been utilized throughout the entire façade design process.
Inspiration: Inspired by the dancing aurora, the designer introduced an impressive façade design through bottom-to-top connections between northern and eastern sides. The ‘dance of light’ is characterized by the juxtaposition of rectilinear forms and tower façades with double curves.
