DISTINCTIVE DESIGN SELECTED FOR NEW SHENZHEN LANDMARK
Hengli Investment Group Co. Ltd. has selected a design by Gerkan, Marg and Partners (GMP) for a new complex in Shenzhen, China's Super Bay City business district that includes sky gardens, public space and a 250-m-tall office tower, ArchDaily reports. Part of a masterplan that will have towers up to 600 m tall, GMP's design was the winner of an international competition. It consists of the office tower, a 36-m-tall conference center and an 80-m-tall cultural center linked between the ground and sixth floors. Two of four underground floors will house a shopping center. Three-story sky gardens will be located at every eighth level of the approximately 75-story structure.
