Infinity Tower

Shanghai, China

Description

Located in Shanghai, China, the 100-meter-tall Infinity Towers is an innovative design for two commercial towers. The design is inspired by two dancing cranes—representing longevity, wisdom, and loyalty.

They form a strong formal relationship in which the shape of one building is reflected in the shape of the other and the two are read together, as a single form. The symmetrical towers are connected to the 15th floor by an open viewing platform. The oculus has an elliptical opening in the platform providing views from the entrance plaza through the platform and from the platform down to the entrance plaza.

The towers and connecting terrace form a gateway to the Flying Fish commercial complex in the Shanghai free trade zone. They shape an entry plaza with a circular water feature and a small park. The towers have a combined floor area of 77,000m2.
