Office Tower and Exhibition Center in Kai Tak, Hong Kong by Michael Arellanes IIFebruary 14th, 2013 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Michael Arellanes II The tower and exhibition hall is a proposal for Hong Kong’s Kai Tak development, an airport landing strip that will be reclaimed into the city as a new cultural, business, and residential district. The tower is an expressionof fluid movement that manifests into a series of folds, creases, and a bifurcation of massing creating a dual tower.  Image Courtesy Michael Arellanes II

Structural tectonics’that are articulated by curvilinear geometric components have varied properties that can address structural performance and synergetic nuances, operating in conjunction to cultivate a visual and experiential valiancy.

By situating the tower for Kia Tak along the water front, its fluid massing is showcased as an iconic image that complements the cities velocity and urban life.
