Shenzhen Luohu Friendship Trading Centre
Shenzhen Luohu Friendship Trading Centre is a redevelopment of a current department store to be transfigured into a new skyscraper with a 7-storey retail podium at the heart of Luohu in Shenzhen, China. The development with a Gross area of 130,000 square meter is designed by Aedas architects.
The design also takes reference from naturally occurring forms, as described by Aedas in their press release:
“Architectural form drew inspiration from nature and imitates a beautiful Calla Lily. The curtain wall, wraps around the tower and resembles the elegant petals as the translucent podium rooftop. The generous petal roof brings natural daylight deep into the open-air, multiple-plane retail arcade and induces air flow current for natural ventilation.”
The design will become what the architect describes as an "a new sustainable and iconic design for the city."
The project is being constructed and is going to be completed in 2020.
