The RMJM architecture firm has won a competition to design a landmark tower for Doumen, China. The structure is proposed to be located between the intersection of two rivers in Zhuhai, the Doumen. The shape of the tower's intention is to mimic the flow of water this in turn creates office spaces to suit the shape of the building.
The tower's curving form will be clad with 1,400 bent panels, made from perforated aluminium. These will give the structure its scaly appearance, whilst shading the interior from direct sunlight.
The tower is set to be delivered as part of the wider regeneration of Doumen's riverfront.
