WUHAN NEW HOPE D10

The New hope D10 project, located at the riverside of Yangtze River in Wuhan, Interpreting with contemporary architectural language, the design draws inspiration from the ancient guqin tune of “High Mountains and Flowing Water”, which is about friendship and community bond through music and art in Chinese culture. The outline of the towers mimics the shape of a guqin, façade covered with dynamic string-like lines. The nuanced lines combined with different curtain walls evoke simplicity in the office area. The overall varied, irregular architectural form compounded with the rounded corners diminish horizontal wind load, achieving perfect unity of function and form. The podium, in a dynamic streamlined form, echoes and blends with the tower façade. The high-rise allegorically represents Wuhan as a vivacious cultural capital.
