Location: Xi’an, China.
Architect: More Design Office.
MDO has finished constructing two office towers in Xi’an’s Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone, as part of a larger office campus masterplan. The towers are designed with a landscaped park at the centre, which serves as a green community focus for the entire campus. The façade is vertically organized into bands, with increasing height as they rise, giving the towers a greater vertical emphasis. The curtain walling is made of either full height glass or Apple silver aluminum panels, with the proportion of glass increasing as the building rises higher.
