Synergy Innovation Zone Incubation Accelerator Site Landscape Tower

A harmonious blend of emotional design and structural logic

Nestled in the heart of Chongqing's Liangjiang Synergy Innovation Zone, the Landscape Tower stands as a beacon of architectural ingenuity. Overlooking the serene Mingyue Lake and the majestic Mingyue Mountain, this tower offers a tranquil retreat for entrepreneurs and visitors alike, providing panoramic vistas of the surrounding landscape.

The tower's design is a testament to the seamless integration of perceptual imagination and mechanical logic. Its slender, floating appearance is achieved through a meticulously engineered support system comprising frame columns, sway columns, and inclined supports. This structural design not only ensures stability but also enhances the tower's aesthetic appeal.

The project's innovative approach to structural design is evident in the use of high load-bearing capacity with low ductility, allowing for a reduction in column diameter while maintaining structural integrity. The addition of Tuned-Mass-Dampers further enhances comfort by mitigating vibrations, ensuring a serene experience for all who ascend the tower.

Design Highlights

  • Strategic location offering panoramic views of Mingyue Lake and Mingyue Mountain

  • Integration of frame columns, sway columns, and inclined supports for structural stability

  • Use of high load-bearing capacity with low ductility for slender column design

  • Incorporation of Tuned-Mass-Dampers to enhance comfort and reduce vibrations
