With its rigorous prism of offices on a podium floating 36 meters above ground, Shenzhen’s new stock exchange mirrors the no less afloat nature of financial capital. It rises 254 meters and 46 floors with a usable area of 265,000 square meters (85,000 underground), and the technical challenge was to make the podium’s huge cantilever (22 meters) economically feasible. The solution was to combine the plinth structures and the tower in a single complex. The tower’s 45 x 45 meter standard plan is formed by a structural double ring – a rigid inner tube of reinforced concrete and an outer one of steel pillars – that continues to the foundation, crossing the podium (100 x 160 meters) so that its lattice structure rests on the core and forms a rigid whole with compensated arms. This structural solution is manifested outside in the rigorous scheme of the facade, which evokes the finest traditions of corporate architecture.
