The work of architecture studies Grimshaw Architects and Dattner Architects, the design reflects the public commitment to creating the next generation of social housing and aims to provide a framework for a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. We give you all the details below. A dynamic garden serves as organizing element of the community, while a terrace and room community on the top floor of the Tower offers spectacular views to users. Multifunctional gardens create opportunities for gardening, fruit and vegetable farming, recreation and social gathering, while it also provides the benefits of stormwater management and further improves the impermeability. The main entrance leads the lobbies of the buildings and the houses around a central garden entries. The ground floor has trade, a community health center, and the units of work, which creates a vivid use of street. Above the main entrance, overlooking the street and the courtyard, are community spaces for residents, including a fitness center. Greenway is designed to promote community and healthy lifestyle. Stairs with natural light are easily accessible to promote its regular use and thus encourage physical activity.

Building with circle in China Posted: 24 May 2015 04:42 PM PDT A few weeks ago was completed in Guangzhou, Guangdong, China, a truly amazing building: Circle Mansion Guangzhou. Designed by the Italian architect Joseph di Pasquale, the building, which has a height of 138 meters, has been built to house the offices of the Chinese group Guangdong Hongda Xingye and GDPE Guangdong Plastic Exchange companies. Thanks to the donut shape of the building, built on the banks of the Pearl River, the reflected in water form, becomes an eightfigure, an important symbol in Chinese culture. Would you like to know more about this amazing building? The idea of the project was to design a building that is immediately understood as a Chinese landmark, using a central structure closed instead of the Western stereotypes . The architectural concept is inspired by the strong iconic value of jade and the tradition of Feng Shuinumerological discs. In particular, the double disc of jade (bi-disco) is a real symbol of the ancient Chinese dynasty that ruled this area around 2,000 years ago, and as I have said before, the building is reflected in the water of the river creating exactly the same image. In addition, figure corresponds to the number 8 and the symbol of infinity, which has a strong propitiatory value in Chinese culture. On the other hand, the building makes reference to the “quadratura del cerchio” (squaring the circle), theme of the Italian Renaissance. The two circular walls contain and support plants that actually “fit” the perfect circumference of the facades to the orthogonal interior space and livable. Thus, the 33-story are grouped to create two rows of volumes that appear on one side of the building and are gradually pushed to one end, 25-metre cantilever. The main interior space is a hall of Exchange which is just under the hole in the building. This is the heart of the complex and the entire company.
