At approximately 350 meters, Greenland Group Suzhou Center marks the Wujiang waterfront with an aerodynamic form that has a unique presence, with economy and efficiency of lines and space. The design incorporates passive ventilation techniques through a unique interior “lung,” creating an incredible “breathing” tower. With a total building area of more than 300,000 square meters and 78 stories, Greenland Group Suzhou Center will be the defining visual landmark for the new Wujiang lakefront development and, by extension, for the city as a whole, when it will be completed in 2017. Located along Lake Taihu in the Jiangsu province of China, the building will host a hotel, offices and residential abodes; the public areas and lobbies will be ventilated by the 30-story tall opening which is quite amazing, allowing 60 percent savings in energy consumption as compared to a conventional American high-rise building. Talk about beauty and efficiency...
This beauty is designed by the American architecture firm SOM (Skidmore, Owings & Merrill).
