Encent Bayfront Towers
The Encent Bayfront Towers are a complex of 3 towers in Jangzhou, Yuan, serving as the headquarters of the technology corporation Encent. The main building is a 595 meter (1,952 ft) tower, which ranks as the third-tallest building in Ausiana and one of the world's tallest buildings. Avoiding the lateral loads and lifting requirements typical of bar or slab configurations, the main building's mass is redeveloped into several differently-angled segments. The resulting configurations all encourage natural lighting and cooling, flexibility and connections to the environment to create a pleasant work environment. As the tower moves up in height, it responds to different surroundings; in the lower third, it reacts to a nearby park; in the middle, to the urban context; and at the top, the main building is oriented toward the city and mountains.
The Henshi Park Tower is a 300 meter tall office tower, north of the Platform. The building is comprised of two interlocking volumes. The bottom is oriented to reveal more of the nearby towers when viewing from the park, while the upper volume cantilevers to “look” toward the middle of the site, balancing the uppermost portion of the main building.
