Chicago-based design firm Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture has unveiled its winning design for a 700-metre skyscraper in China’s south-eastern metropolis of Shenzhen.
When complete the Shenzhen-Hong Kong International Centre will be China’s tallest building, eclipsing the 635-metre skyscraper Shanghai Tower.
A mixed-use precinct will surround and connect the Shenzhen-Hong Kong International Centre with a five-star hotel, offices, and conference facilities. A large retail precinct will also occupy the northeast corner of the site, while a community of apartment towers will be situated in the northwest section.
