About Chongqing Gaoke Group Ltd Mnara wa Ofisi

Chongqing Gaoke Group Ltd ni mnara wa ofisi uliopo Chongqing, China. Jengo hili lina urefu wa mita 201 na linatambulika kwa uso wa nje wenye mikunjo miwili. Uso huu wa nje unaunganisha pande za kaskazini na mashariki kutoka chini hadi juu, na umbo lake liliongozwa na mwanga wa aurora unaocheza. Maumbo ya mistari iliyonyooka yamewekwa kando ya nyuso za mnara zenye mikunjo miwili. Kiwango cha juu cha mzunguko kinafikia nyuzi 8.8 kwa kila ghorofa. Kioo kilichopindwa kwa ubaridi na uundaji wa taarifa za jengo (BIM) vilitumika kutatua jiometri hiyo tata. Mnara huu ulikamilika mwaka wa 2022.

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.
