Production Technology
The main facades of the building are composed of stainless steel metal panels that are digitally scanned for sizes and composition, pre-panalized and assembled in the factory, and transported to the site in modules. This way the construction error margins can be kept to minimal.
Project Duration
This project's design phase started in early 2021, it broke ground in mid 2022. And it is set to be completed in 2024.
Operation Flow
The building’s functions are three-fold: 1. Exhibit and advocate for the healthy financial culture, 2. Promote global connectivity and host international summits. 3. Shelter one of the largest transportation hubs in the city and offer public interaction opportunities. Some distinct spaces include: at B1 level, a public corridor fully sheltered by the building geometry connects among different subway lines and allows for efficient transit needs. Along the corridor lies main entrances to a variety of retail, trading and museum programs, to interlace the transit program with the daily use of the building.
Research
Expert review processes were used for the ground-breaking structural advancement of the facade. Above the ground towards the public plaza, a grand curtain wall system forms the focal point of the project: the Eye of the Diamonds. Spanning 65 meters in width and 38 meters in height, the system challenges the latest technologies of single-layered tensile glass structures. It is made possible by a self-balanced façade structure that can sustain the forces of the largely spanned cables as well as the weight of the glass panels. This results in a grand viewing platform, free of visual obstructions, that provides crystal clear views towards the prominent public plaza at the heart of the city of Shenzhen.
Inspiration
Incorporating the concept of “golden stacked mountains”, the FCC is composed of two rhombus shapes and resembles the steppingstones of steady development of the financial industry. Additionally, when approaching from Shennan Blvd, the metallic rhombus geometries offer a sense of speed and futurism which resonates with Shenzhen’s identity of science and technology advancement.
