Radial avenues lead to a new urban square at the center of a newly developing part of Chongqing, where a 200-meter tall, 45-story signature tower is planned as the focus of the new district. Built over a station on a new subway line, the tower is planned to be a part of a mixed-use development that includes two additional 100-meter tall buildings that flank the central tower. The base of the complex includes two levels of underground parking, a four level retail mall, which connects to the subway station, and a movie theater. The central tower will have offices in the lower half and a hotel above, while the other two buildings will be offices and apartments, respectively. The developer was dissatisfied with the work of a Japanese architect who had won a government-sponsored competition for the design of the complex, and asked three firms to supply concepts for a redesign. Our Chinese partner was able to prevail in this new competition with the design work we provided.
