About Hengqin International Financial Center Torre de Uso Misto
O Hengqin International Financial Center é uma torre de uso misto localizada na ilha do CBD de Hengqin. O edifício reúne num só conjunto as funções de escritórios, conferências, exposições, apartamentos e comércio. Inspirada numa antiga pintura chinesa conhecida como o mapa de Kowloon, a torre apresenta uma forma espiralada contínua que se ergue a partir do solo e se divide em quatro coroas. A altura atinge 339 metros e a planta do pavimento-tipo mede 44,8 metros de largura e de profundidade. Recorreu-se à modelação digital e ao desenho paramétrico para racionalizar os painéis de fachada e controlar o custo da construção.
