北京
An exterior aerial precedent showcasing curvilinear skyscraper design with a dramatic central atrium void, useful for studies in high-rise facade engineering and complex geometry.
- What we like about this project
- The central void twists continuously as it rises, creating a shifting internal canyon of glass and light.

Visual tags
- futuristic
- high-rise
- curvilinear
- reflective-glass
- urban-landmark
- Geometry
- Cylindrical tower volume bisected by a twisting diagonal atrium void, creating sweeping curved facades.
- Facade system
- Unitized double-skin glass curtain wall system with integrated shading elements.
- Structural guess
- Steel diagrid or concrete core with perimeter outriggers supporting large cantilevered atrium spaces.
- Spatial scale
- Super-tall skyscraper towering over adjacent multi-story commercial and residential buildings.
- Lighting
- Warm sunset light catches the reflective glass facade, casting strong golden flares and deep shadows across the curved geometry.
- Atmosphere
- A striking interplay of cold reflective glass and warm sunset radiance, emphasizing the monumental scale of the twisting tower.
- Environmental context
- Dense urban setting in Beijing featuring wide multi-lane boulevards, mid-rise office towers, and surrounding residential blocks.
- Spatial experience
- From the air, the tower dominates the surrounding urban grid, drawing the eye toward its soaring glazed curves and the massive central void.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical mullion lines follow the twisting curvature of the facade, interrupted by horizontal structural floor bands.
