For that so, a volume of two towers of square plant is made and joined by its diagonal. One of the towers is, exclusively, for hotel use, whereas the other lodges the offices and administration premises. This way we emphasize the height and slenderness of the building and at the same time it shows a diversified variety of shades and perspectives.

Bio-Lake Reception Center in Hubei, China by Zephyr Architects

Wednesday, June 6th, 2012

Article source: Zephyr Architects

As the central piece of architecture for the Guanggu Bio-lake campus, this reception center houses exhibition space, conference rooms and administration offices.

The building sits between a main plaza and central lake.  In a comparatively small piece of land, the architecture seeks to have a strong symbolic character.  In order to increase the overall impact of the architecture, the mass is treated as a sculpture in shape and texture.    This site is surrounded by buildings with varying viewpoints of the main project.  The multi-faceted box produces a façade of ever-changing viewpoints.
