 Our client is a large social media company looking to build a headquartered tower in Shenzhen. In a city that has become the Silicon Valley of Asia, at a time when the very definitional world has been fundamentally changing, we started this project with one question. How could this be more than just another generic headquartered tower? Imagine a tower that could not just stand in any metropolis, a tower that engages with Shenzhen and its local residents, a tower that is responsive, that phones, listens and talks to its neighbor. The online presence of its own is designed to bring people together, that creates communities, both online and offline. The flexible boundary between public, collaborative and individual working, a tower that respects the environment, that uses natural ventilation and shading, that harvests the rainwater and houses green spaces. This is how we envision the workplace of tomorrow.
