The project is located in the main urban area of Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou City. The regional planning is on the "Airport City Corridor", close to the "Central Vitality Engine of Qianjiang World City". It enjoys a superior geographical location, with highly concentrated regional industrial resources and convenient transportation. It takes only 5 minutes to reach the elevated road and within 30 minutes to reach important urban transportation nodes such as Xiaoshan Airport, Hangzhou East Railway Station and Hangzhou South Railway Station.
Through a series of value analyses and combined with the current situation analysis of the plot, certain challenges are posed to the design. Taking all factors into consideration, the design strategy starts from making openings in combination with the site conditions, deducing the viewing field of the building, and analyzing the indicative line of sight of the main road. By taking advantage of the surrounding landscape resources, the concept of a super-linked urban forest is proposed.
The concept interpretation starts from "Ripple Water Charm, Source of Vitality", integrating technological vitality into the architectural form and incorporating the humanistic elements of mountains, waters and culture into the spatial layout. It showcases the light and graceful posture of the building and the beauty of the natural rhythm. It also combines local culture with corporate culture, fusing the water charm of Qiantang with the company's symbolic symbol "O", establishing a regional landmark, meeting functional requirements and positioning the company's layout.
The architectural form combines the enterprise logo with the Liangzhu ancient jade of the local Liangzhu culture. It is round inside and square outside, also representing the roundness of the sky and the squareness of the earth. Zheng Xuan of the Eastern Han Dynasty noted: "The jade disc is round like the sky, and the cong is square like the earth." The design of the podium of the tower resembles a bird's nest, with branches climbing upon the nest, symbolizing the enterprise's establishment and growth in the new district. The multi-dimensional and layered courtyards inside also create a sense of centripetal force and cohesion.
The 100-meter tower is located on the east side, symbolizing the rising sun in the east and climbing upwards. It represents the thriving and vigorous development of the enterprise. The roof structure is extensively covered with photovoltaic glass for the daily electricity use of the park.
The landscape concept aims to inherit the local urban form, use the flowing and permeating of jungle green Spaces to eliminate the boundary and barrier between humans and nature, and respond to the local natural and cultural accumulation through a dynamic and fluid expression method.
The design inspiration for the tower body of the building comes from the ancient Liangzhu jade object "cong". The crown part of the tower adopts the folk concept of "golden gate and jade lock". The square tower body, combined with the smooth treatment at the top, echoes the treatment technique of the tower top with a layered and recessed platform. Each part is interlocked and closely connected, reflecting the local historical and cultural characteristics.
The design of the facade lines is based on the concept of the three-pronged tide of the Qiantang River. Through dynamic lines and a layout with distinct layers, it showcases the dynamic and vitality of the surging tide.
