| Holy Moshe! Israeli Architect Sets Sail for East Posted: 08 Dec 2011 01:11 AM PST
Israeli architect extraordinaire, Moshe Safdie, has set his creative sails for China’s port city of Chongquin, a historic economic center at the Yangtze and Jialing river junction, and a major manufacturing and transportation hub for all of Southwestern China.
Drawing upon the city’s cultural symbolism and historic significance, Safdie’s Chongquin Chaotianmen is a modern interpretation of a fleet of ancient Chinese ships. The eight rising towers resemble heraldic sails, their arch akin to winds blowing back their masts.
I love the swooping grandeur that he achieves with height, scale and arch. Just to peer out from these mast-high gardens, over the busy city and riverscapes below. I can almost smell the damp air, heavy with creativity, production and inspiration. More here, via::Designboom |
