That red thing looks like that one silver thing in Chicago. I don't like the design that much though.

[OSCAR1987]

absolutely boring as the same type
check out dalian eton center, it should be much more graceful than this one
and quick developments

[OSCAR1987]

they can not build it up, it's on hold now

[TANGELD_SLC]

They are rather bland, IMO. Not what I was expecting, since China's been doing so well with previous supertall designs.

[OSCAR1987]

you must compare this design with shanghai and beijing etc.
some other cities only post rederings and not give specific movements
kind of commercial of business

Whoah...lights! Now it´s much better.

IMHO, those twin towers are just boring. Maybe they look better when they´re finished but...no just boring.

[[SP]Neo]

they build their own WTC complex ;-P looks like they mixed old and new WTC and took the worst from both.

[staff]

I think this is an absolutely stunning Kohn Pedersen Fox project.

Should I change this to on hold or not is the reason is only because of heavy snow?

SHENYANG CITY HANG LUNG PLAZA
SHENYANG, CHINA

The design for the Hang Lung Dou Mu Gong Mixed-use Development in Shenyang seeks to create a dynamic new icon for one of northeast China’s most vibrant and swiftly developing cities.

Situated at the south side of City Plaza with ample frontage on Qing Nian Da Jie, the site is undoubtedly one of the most desirable development sites in the city. KPF’s design features two dynamic office tower forms at the north site which act as a gateway from City Plaza to the development and serve to reinforce the edge of the part. Between these two elements is a large canopy which covers a plaza in front of the main retail entrance. The central zone of the retail mall is situated a bit further south, thus allowing easy access from the later phase office tower and the hotel tower.

Finally, the southeastern portion of the site is reserved for three serviced apartment buildings and retail stores specially tailored for the needs of apartment residents.

The architectural language of all buildings is based on a gently curved geometry, which is meant to suggest the flow of the river. The office towers and hotel slab taper subtly in section to open up a sense of space in the middle of the complex. The office towers are conceived as a family of forms and are united though the use of a consistent curtain-wall design. These towers are capped by floating crystal forms that sparkle during the daytime and function as beacons at night.
