A weekend spent at UNStudio’s Raffles Metropolis in Hangzhou, China
Final weekend I spent a weekend in Hangzhou, capturing a video for UNStudio about their lately accomplished Raffles Metropolis improvement.
Standing out attributable to their dynamic profiles, the two towers rise to 280 meter in peak every. The architects properly blended the rostrum along with the towers in a homogenous ensemble.
I documented the undertaking from totally different angles from floor, rooftop and aerial.
Please let me know what you assume.
A play of various facade sorts, make the towers merge and diverge collectively the place wanted.
The undertaking is situated within the new Hangzhou East space. A big group of skyscrapers is at present in place with many extra underneath building.
The distinctiveness of the dual towers scheme turns into most apparant when positioned in distinction to different skyscrapers within the close to surrounding. The orthogonal design language of SOM’s GT Land Plaza reverse is in sturdy distinction with the extra dynamic language utilized by UNStudio for his or her Raffles Metropolis undertaking.
The plot is sq. formed with the two towers positioned at its diagonal corners. In between, seemingly pressed, is the 6 storey mall.
